Netflix subscribers are urging the streaming service remove the historical drama The Help as they accuse the hit film of having a 'white savior' narrative.
The 2011 film, which was adapted from a novel written by author Kathryn Stockett, imagines the relationship between black maids, cooks and nannies during the 1960s with the white people who they served.

Ban all films with white people in them. That should satisfy the Leftist liberals.
The left, eating their own.
We are going to see a lot more of this in the next year. You think 2020 is interesting? Fasten your seat belts for 2021.
Glad I left Gayflix months ago. Got tired of the token gay/trannie/whatever in EVERY one of their produced movies.
If this was a necessary part of the story - no problem.
But, when it’s a politically correct addition- no sale.
Shove it, Netflix.
If black folk don’t want help from white folk then can we have all that money back?
Include those produced and directed by white people. Also those funded by any organization with white people in charge. Be sure to exclude all theaters that are owned and operated by any white people. Im fact, an immediate recall of all movies with white people in the main character roles should take place. Cancel the contracts to the white actors.
What’s with all this censorship of movies and removing movies from these sites recently?
Liberals always tell us that they are against censorship and that they are open and tolerant.
It now we see movies from Gone With the Wind to The Help, are not politically correct and so they must be censored; we must be blocked from seeing them. The liberals who run these sites are deciding what we are and aren’t allowed to see.
Replacing with Landlord Floyd?
I would think even Netflix board member Michelle Obama is ‘eye-rolling’ over that complaint.
Boy, the left sure has gone full tilt Nazi.
Can you imagine the Academy Awards?
Lol - like Hidden Numbers this was propagandized at the time to be an in-depth look at what racism was like back then and how bad it was and how this was a brave expose and story that had to be told to help the black race and a must see to show your support.
Now it’s racisss!
Maybe they could “colorize” it.
They have pretty much done this with commercials- good luck finding a white person that isn't portrayed as a bumbling idiot or soy boy, but you will find plenty of black characters talking down to their white counterparts.
I tried posting about censorship by TWITTER (and Google, too) of Mercola site today...but some sort of copyright issue with FR...my point...the Censoring is happening on ALL FRONTS. We are at war...
While we’re at it let’s get rid of “Hidden Figures” as well cause of something.
Actually the BLM’ers don’t mind the fact of white films and the “savior” type of white person that Skeeter was in The Help.
That film grossed millions of dollars. And so it mostly all must be redirected to black causes.
This will be then new direction in corporate America. The NFL, Amazon, Bank of America and thousands of other corporations are now being called upon to repent of their white privilege and donate billions to BLM causes.
And they are.
“Liberals always tell us that they are against censorship and that they are open and tolerant.”
I had read that Lenin had the following dialogue:
REPORTER: Vlad, you were always for free speech, why did you change?
LENIN: That was when we were in the opposition.
