Who was the first black woman to kiss a white man in a movie?

Answer 1

Yes, it's toward the beginning of the movie when they are in the taxi leaving the airport. It's only a couple of seconds long, virtually motionless and shown in the rear view mirror from the taxi driver's point of view.

Answer 2

First of all, it depends on what you specifically mean when you refer to an interracial couple. Now if by interracial you mean Black and White couples, then actually in 1964 a movie titled, "One Potato, Two Potato" explored the social taboos of interraical marriage during the 1960's. The movie starred: Barbara Barrie, Richard Mulligan, Bernie Hamilton, and Robert Earl Jones. It was about a White divorcée that falls in love with and marries an African-American man. And then when her ex-husband sues for custody of her child, arguing that a mixed household is an improper place to raise the girl, the new husband fights for his parental rights in court, fighting against a judge who represents the prejudices of the era.

Then in 1965, Sidney Poitier starred in another movie about interracial relationships titled, "A Patch of Blue." He co-starred with Shelley Winters and then unknown 21 year old Elizabeth Hartman, who played Poitier's interracial love interest. In fact, scenes of Sidney Poitier and Elizabeth Hartman kissing were excised from the film when it was shown in theaters in the American South, where many states still had laws against what they called "race-mixing." And one of the most watched earlier movies about interracial couples is, "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" (1967) also starring Sidney Poitier, along with Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn.

Otherwise, many movies before then depicted various romances that occurred between numerous differing ethnicities including: Native Americans and Whites. But those movies never seem to garner as much attention, as do the movies that depict interracial romances between Black and White partners. Which in an indication that racial tensions between those two groups still exist. So in spite of the social progress that has been made in the U.S. regarding race relations, movies such as these make it very clear that there is still a lot of healing to be done, in order to progress further in lessening the racial tensions between Blacks and Whites. Which is true even some 50+ years after the Civil Rights Movement laws have been passed.
