PLEASE go see it before it is out of theaters...which will be soon...unfortunately....people want to be entertained with action and drama. This isn't necessarily it...although there is plenty of both.
Gary Ross (director..Seabiscuit, Hunger Games) has wanted to tell this story for years. He worked with the family of Newton Knight.
Powerful.

Wow. There were some whites in the poster who weren’t cool.
Unbelievable.
They’re a protected class and that hurts whites and people of color.

#26. Are you talking about “AL”, the man who ran the soda shop? He was Italian and pretty cool.
OK. I know, the “FONZ”. Cool, leather, greaser hair, finger-snapping chick magnet. Cool as an Italian Water Ice.
But don’t tell anybody that in real life he’s a nice Jewish kid from somewhere in the U.S.
“Happy Days” was a great show for young kids and teenagers. You could connect with them and nobody got hurt, insulted, or offended except an occasional bad kid.
“Those were the days”!

I gues the only correct way would be for every dark skinned person to be “cool” and every paleface to be “uncool”, or better yet, kicked out of the pool.

Things are coming to a head and enough people are sick of this insanity that the nadir will be reached. Then reverse. Just like Brexit.

I should have said the “other” Allies. Thanks for catching that, can’t otherwise correct it.

"Summary: NO dark-skinned individuals are ever allowed to be shown breaking any rules."
Oh, is that it? I was looking at it, and looking at it....totally mystified as to what was racist about it. Color me daft. ;)

I think that thing behind him is his foot, mostly the heel. It's clearer if you look at a
large version of the image. The kid's mouth is open wide, so maybe he is yelling.

May we presume you’re speaking from experience, as you provided no source for your erudite response?
Otherwise, most of the words in your response match Snopes.com’s “rebuttal” to this.
Last time I checked, snopes.com put out more than 400 articles PER DAY in support of their god in the white hut. Why trust obamatons?

“Cartoon sounds about right, should have added a white kid being pummeled for good measure, and a turd or two floating in the pool........”
Yours was the best response to this contrived racist “issue”.

“It is true that the Red Cross made nominal charges for coffee and doughnuts during WWII, but it did so at the request of the Army. Allied troops were being charged for snacks and the fact that American troops were paid so much more than the Brits was a constant source of friction, so the Army made the request. That has been a sore spot with vets ever since.”
Cliff-noted the Hussein Heads at Snopes for us?

(Wonder how much federal taxes they pay)

” the fact that American troops were paid so much more than the Brits”
How much were they paid, anyway? When I first became aware of military pay scales, a private got paid virtually nothing.
