I’m tired of this century’s Blaxploitation movies of the last century’s 70s.
“42”, “Django”, both of these “we got another black” President movies - “White House Down” and “Olympus Has Fallen”, Oprah and Forrest Gump in the “Butler”, “The Help”
and on and on and on and on.
I don’t give a rat’s a$$ about all these new “whites are racists” movies. They can just go bark that up another tree where somebody gives a crap.
Actually The Help was not only a good read it was also a very good movie. It dealt with a time in our country that not everyone is familiar with. The others I haven’t even bothered with.
Not fair to lump them all together but I understand you point.
I met the butler in question about 25 years ago. He was a sophisticated man of high moral character who was completely supportive of the presidents he served. I met him as the aide to a famous elderly socialite in DC. He spent hours recounting the many families he served with honor and distinction. The culture in which he moved was by any measure genteel and refined. Portraying him in any other light is a slander.
It is the vulgarization of the presidency under Clinton and Obama that has seen a substantial reduction in the dignity of the WH staff. These are a rare breed of servants who respect their vocation and traditions. The contempt in which they have been held by these 2 presidencies has caused many of them to leave theor beloved profession.
