I knew the Stocketts

What a hoot of irony

[wardaddy]

Ok so we left blacks in tropical Africa

Suits me

Where would they be now ?

Titans of industry and innovation I’m sure....

[dfwgator]

Make Wakanda Great Again!

[dfwgator]

Remember how pissed some were that “Green Book” won Best Picture?

[HollyB]

HBO just removed ‘Gone with the Wind’

[SuperLuminal]

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...

[HollyB]

Will libraries start book burnings next?

[1Old Pro]

did they force FOX off the air yet?

[jmcenanly]

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

[dfwgator]

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

[bgill]

Obviously, those complainig never watched the movie.

[dfwgator]

I fell asleep halfway through it.

[Ted Grant]

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.

[dfwgator]

That was why blacks, especially Spike Lee, were upset when “Green Book” beat out “Black Klansman” for Best Picture.

[Ted Grant]

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.

[dfwgator]

Malcolm X was right about White Liberals.

[FamiliarFace]

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?

[dfwgator]

Or “Stripes”

“Come on guys, rhythm!.....Black guys help the white guys!”

[FamiliarFace]

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!

[goorala]

Strange, given that’s what most liberals aspire to be.
