This film was nominated for many Oscars, and Octavia Spencer won for best supporting actress. She also won the Golden Globe, and the film and cast won many other awards from BAFTA and SAG.

Watching “Blazing Saddles” may now be considered one of those hate crime thingys.

All TV shows from the 50s, 60s etc. without any blacks in significant roles will be banned from TV eventually. Andy Griffith, Bonanza, Leave it to Beaver, Green Acres, etc. will be buried forever.

What will you do with your chunk of $22 TRILLION?

Create a private armed security firm for personal and home protection. Once the left gets the police banned I believe demand for such services will be robust.

ya know, I can get behind this one. I am SICK of Hollywood and their white savior movies. So many I can’t even count. The worst was the BLIND SIDE. Yes, here comes rich white woman to save the day. They are insulting. Sorry guys, that is how I feel.

Watched the movie (DVD from library last year) - actually pretty good.
We don't want to gloss over what real racism is, and that it happened.
But one can contrast the early 60's with today - it is NOT the same.

Don’t watch it. Isn’t that what liberals preached for decades to pedal filth in entertainment...and if you don’t like abortion... don’t have one...all that claptrap I had to hear for decades. “I don’t agree with what you said but I’ll fight to the death to allow you to say it....blah blah blah blah.”

I would think even Netflix board member Michelle Obama is ‘eye-rolling’ over that complaint.

Why? She hated living the White House, the People’s House.

Ban all films with white people in them. That should satisfy the Leftist liberals.
= = =

And black actors could appear in whiteface, for equality and all.

Maybe remake The Sound of Music, to start.

How about some digital color reversal, kind of like color film negatives?

Translate all those shows through that process.

Then, trees are red, sky is purple, ..., but the best part is White is Black.

The film “White Chicks” offends in both its mockery of transgenderism and the use of blackface (white face). It should be banned.

The irony being that many of the actresses here are very vocal about supporting BLM and defunding the cops. Viola Davis is especially vocal.

Good friend in college was from New Orleans and was raised by a black housekeeper. When she grew old they built an addition onto their house and she retired as one of the family.
