Several years ago, tried out Netflix under a "free" period...
Took just one day of viewing to know what a POS organization it, and it's available offerings, were...
Never looked back...

Freepers might understand the reference, but Anitfa/BLM will not. At least their foot-soldiers won’t.

Actually I had the same criticism of the film when it came out. It’s one of the movies that Hollywood loves to make - the forward-thinking, self-satisfied white person elevates the racial minority to heights that they couldn’t have done without the help.
They’ve enjoyed doing and re-doing that concept for decades.
Another concept that Hollywood loves is the satire about their own industry that ostensibly looks scathing, but it’s really jusr another form of self-glorification.
To: Ted Grant
That was why blacks, especially Spike Lee, were upset when “Green Book” beat out “Black Klansman” for Best Picture.

Yep. I think it’s a valid criticism of the industry - Hollywood can’t get over itself and adores the basic story arc of the white liberal elevating the minority.

Malcolm X was right about White Liberals.

I always liked that movie Remember the Titans that showed how the black and white football players could get along. I guess that one will be axed next, right?

Oh, and I bet Sandra Bullock will have to give back the Oscar she finally won for Blind Side! She might even have to give back her kid!
To: kevcol
Strange, given that’s what most liberals aspire to be.
