Dear Colored People.

Caucasian is colored, peach is not white. There are no white people.

I buy socks for #2 Son at Target; Walmart doesn’t have any that are large enough.

Gay males have a higher degree of corporate success due to dual full time incomes. However they tend to doom their shareholders eventually as they push their lifestyle and learn others often find their lifestyle revolting.

Like any business, Netflix is working with the general public and tastes vary widely. If you don't like a particular title the answer is simple: don't watch it. Nobody is forcing you to watch it. I don't burn my library card because there are a few books in the card catalog that I don't like. I just choose to ignore them.

I've been a heavy Netflix user for years and never seen this title or had it suggested to me by Netflix's recommendation engine. There are lots of program offering in the catalog that I ignore, and lots of others that I enjoy. But taking offense because a title exists is exactly the sort of thing that one expects from the left, who will not suffer the existence of other viewpoints.

If few bother with it, it won't stay in the catalog for long, as Netflix very well knows which titles are and are not popular. This is just another example of the sort of faux-outrage we've come to expect in the culture wars.

Amazon is promoting illegals a crowing about it!

Seems someone could come up with a a new service with a conservative take.

There is certainly an opening here when you consider the number of recent Christian movies that made money and even fare like Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge.

"DVD’s for most every movie ever made since the 1940’s are available for as little as a buck plus shipping ($4.00) on Amazon."

Not interest in buying a bunch of DVDs (even as an Amazon Prime customer). I prefer the Netflix rental approach.

I suspect Netflix will be forced to drop this like a hot potato, or show it only on the "Afro-American" cable channels. Netflix has already had one customer revolt over contract changes and had to backtrack.

Netflix recently produced an adorable series called “Puffin Rock,” aimed at children 3 to 6 years old.

It is a Netflix show, it will not leave their catalog. The subscription fee directly supports the creation of this show.

Wish I could cancel but I did that late last summer - after several years had watched all I wanted from Netflix.

Was planning on going back this month as I know they get new offerings all the time ... but changed my mind when I heard about this nonsense.

Netflix don’t care if you like or dislike; just as long as
you watch their stuff & subscribe to their service.
