Hidden Figures is a real good story, well done, with a minimum of political exaggeration.

Which explains why a lot of my snowflake "acquaintances" didn't like it. Portraying the South in general and NASA in particular the way it was back in the 1960s was just too hurtful for these dolts.

Not enough "kumbaya" moments where everyone smokes dope and sings stupid folk songs for them, I suppose.

Don’t know if you saw this thread. Turns out that Katherine Johnson actually used any restroom she wanted to use. Just another ramping up of ‘hate Whitey’ for effect I guess. We liked the movie, but the race-baiting was unnecessary.
