Liberals on Social Media: "You're a Racist" if you Like "American Sniper" over "Selma"

Angry liberals have taken to social media to declare that if you like the movie American Sniper over the movie Selma, you are a racist.

The comments have come on the heels of an extremely successful opening weekend for American Sniper, which has received favorable reviews from critics, and has gained considerable buzz for its tense trailer. Selma, which also has received favorable reviews from critics, but also criticism for inaccurately portraying major characters, is not doing nearly as well at the box office.

Liberals on social media have decided that the trailer, controversy, and merit are not why American Sniper is doing better than Selma. Instead, it is a manifestation of a racist nation and racist movie goers.

Here are just a few examples:

Yawn, they only know one tune...it’s not surprising when they sing it.How many accusations of racism has this movie (Selma) already spawned? Somebody should start a pool.

[GladesGuru]

Obama was wrong, the most beautiful sound in the world is Liberals hyperventilating in unison.

Liberals = Islam

Ya know, Ive been called a racist extremist for so many years now it doesn’t even bother me anymore. I just laugh off their stupidity..American Sniper made what, 40+ million..the haters can go suck on that

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Exactly, way too many white people worry that blacks will think they are racist. Regardless of what you do or say will not change their opinion of you. SCREW THEM.

[uncitizen]

Presumably this is meant to guilty trip people into seeing Selma instead of America Sniper. Guilt is the Progressives’ top tool.

[Ben Mugged]

I lived through selma. I don’t need to pick at scabs.....

[jaydee770]

I’m not watching either movie. Let me take a wild guess:
That still makes me racist somehow.

[Viennacon]

haha, glad we are pissing them off!

[max americana]

These are the same idiot white libtards who live FAR AWAy from black hoods’.

[whinecountry]

Estimates are that Sniper will make $100M over the 4-day (MLK day) weekend. Libs’ heads are exploding.

[GladesGuru]

“I think white guilt is finally succumbing to the realization that the black race has finally been paid off plus interest for the slavery of the past.”

Had those enslaved by their own people not been sold as cotton field slaves, there is the harsh reality that some would have been dinner for their fellow “Darkest Continent” denizens

[rabidralph]

It's projected to be a 100-million-dollar weekend.

islam = satan’s death cult
leftism = rejection of God

islam = leftism

[Sarah Barracuda]

HOLY COW that is AMAZING..Chris is somewhere in heaven smiling. I am going to see the movie on Friday can’t wait to see it! Hope Bradley Cooper wins best actor he did a phenomenal job

[ansel12]

The movie and it’s subject, isn’t popular at DU.

According to Box Office Mojo, American Sniper is trouncing Selma. I used only domestic figures since the foreign data was unavailable for Selma.

American Sniper => $93,630,000; wide release date => January 16, 2015

Selma => $25,964,000; wide release date => January 9, 2015

[Mastador1]

So if I like a truth based movie over a fluffed up version of reality movie, I’m a racist? Well I guess I better start sewing the white sheets!

[clintonh8r]

No, it would be racist if you liked “American Sniper” more than “Memphis”.....

They marched for their people. Thats cool. I respect them.

Kyle went to war for ALL of us. I respect him too.

I would rather give my money to his movie. I hope a few cents go to his wife. I hope someone kicks Ventura in the balls.
