Far From Heaven + Fanon

In the film we watched Far From Heaven we see a 1950s kind of setting where there was still a lot of racism. Our main figures subject to racism are of course Raymond and his daughter, Sarah. Fanon's article is about him being a black man, but wishes that people would see him as a man and not judge him by the fact that he is black. Raymond is very similar in this because he goes to places that are both primarily white and primarily black. What is the signifigance of Raymond and his daughter in Far From Heaven?
In the 1950s racism was still very evident, but as we see with Kathy that there are some out there that began to treat them more nicely and equally. Raymond throughout the film is showing how he is a respectful, hardworking gentleman who is trying to look and act beyond race which makes him subject to not just insults from white people, but also fellow black people. The scene where he is in the restraunt with Kathy is where he recieves a lot of questions and stares from his fellow blacks and periodically through the movie we see whites staring or being racial such as the man yelling something similar to, "Hey boy! Take your hand off that lady!" Raymond's personality and actions set him apart from his own people which Fanon says that it is easy to identify himself through others of his own kind, but there is a moment of 'being for others'
Fanon continues to discuss that this 'being for others' is not so much the case because of civilization of the twentieth century. Fanon states that civilization imposes itself on the black man and how this forces inferiority upon him.
Raymond's daughter is also subject to this racial abuse and belief of inferiority. We see that she dresses nicely and appears to be a good student with polite manners, but when news of her father's association with Kathy is out she is also subject to the racial abuse. She has rocks thrown at her and is knocked out by them.
Raymond and Fanon share a connection in the fact that they both want to just be seen as men and not by their color, but both end up with this acceptance of this racists view because it is just too heavily forced upon them. Fanon feels the pressure from the stares he gets from white people and their judgements and Raymond does it for his daughter because he can't let her be hurt in this way and his relationship with Kathy has cost him basically everything; his job, his home, his safety. Both Fanon's article, Raymond, and his daughter are strong influences of the problems and oppression of racism.
