One word. That’s all it takes. See if you can tell which word I changed.
But back to racism. According to the BostonReview, the movie is realistic in two ways. First, because it seems to focus only on American blacks as being mistreated, and second, because a) the ‘spys’ don’t do anything to help blacks, they just spy and b) the nobility wins over the guy who wanted to arm blacks worldwide to ‘liberate’ them - it places African ‘nobility’ self-interest above the portrayed ‘plight’ of American blacks.
“You’re the one who made the accusation against FreeRepublic.”
Wrong. It was not an accusation against Free Republic. It was an observation about posts that were made by a minority of FReepers.
So, it’s not a biopic about Stokely Carmichael and Huey P. Newton?
I can, and do :)
Nothing personal against black folks I just don’t care to share or participate in the tribal aspects of their culture.
Angry? Naw, I don’t get emotional here. You’re insignificant.
Not nice to call someone insignificant. All rational voices should be heard. Disagreements can be had without making it personal. You guys need to lighten up stop trying to be tough guys. Sarcasm and put downs are over used these days.
An additional $169 million over the weekend. Huge hit.
Oh shut up.
You’re no better than us
Just a virtue signaling coward
Same freepers who like this likely thought The Help was accurate as was Mississippi Burning
And Betrayed really happened
And Deliverance was a documentary
I mean think about it..
Are hillbillies really the most likely in your demographic recal catalog anyone thinks most likely to be queers
More than West village dandies or Montrose cruisers or Castro street revelers or Wes Hollywood vampires...
I hate media and entertainment driven culture it’s a damn cancer..
What are you..a racist?
Who dare you recount your empirical observation involving people of color here
Folks are going to think you are racist and preen obnoxiously how much better than are than you and the other racists here are
And they will pearl clutch at the mere utterance of our evil and their virtue and. righteousness
Little John Browns in the making right here before us...
Aren’t we lucky?
Stay strong......in our favor many times less race baiters here than in the old days when they ruled here
God bless u
Very popular with women, so I hear.
“You’re no better than us”
Of course not. I never claimed to be. “Virtue signaling coward”? You’re wrong on that count.
“You’re no better than us”
Who is this “us” you’re referring to?
Blacks dressed in African garb <=> Whites dressed in Klan regalia.
It’s a quiet movie. It shows the lives of the heroes, and that they are regular, decent guys and good Americans. It can be boring to those who need CGI and grandiose characters to enjoy movies. My wife and I enjoyed seeing the snippets of their lives that were recreated by themselves and by the kid actors who portrayed them as they were as youngsters.
My son is a huge comic book fan. He saw it and said it was good, but way overhyped.
