the dishonest Civil Rights drama stood alone in its box office free fall. Every other film nominated for Best Picture that is still in theatres out-performed “Selma,” in most cases by a humiliating margin. The patriotic, pro-War On Terror “American Sniper” took in more money in one day — Friday — than “Selma” has in 10 days.

Yeah, well, that just proves that the movie-going public is racist.

(Do I really need a sarcasm tag?)

I thought the US was no longer Hollywood's biggest market?

So you have a dishonest representation of a US-based cultural event hyped by the media at the time 50 years ago, and it fails to draw interest from the 85% of non-black America, let alone the rest of the world, and they are not only surprised, but angry?

The gimmedat crowd never ceases to want more.

Didn't it start at some "music" "awards" show?

Not to mention that releasing the pic during the time of the backwards logic of the Ferguson riots probably wasn't the smartest of marketing moves. Either that, or they actually believe the BS of the LSM reportage.

Dumping on "American Sniper" is a green-eyed Alinsky move.
