Oh, for Pete’s Sake!
I guess I may as well stop doing anything good for ANYONE in society because I’m going to be labeled a racist no matter how much good I do. *SHRUG*
Our’s is a multi racial family. We have inter married, and my daughters have adopted from other nations, as well as children who do ‘fostering’. They call is ‘eclectic’. Until we get ‘over the fact’, that it just happens sometimes that some white people made different choices. Obviously the gal, the STAR in the movie was not the Michael, but the lady that put her finger in his face and told him he better make the ‘cut’, or he was outta here. I think Booker T. Washington would have approved, and so would have Frederick Douglass. W.E.B. DeBois of the NAACP would have called it a bad movvie. Leigh Anne, crossed her peers by doing something her $18 a plate salad lovers couldn’t do. Made me want to move to Memphis. I hope the movie didn’t strain Michael’s relationship with his adopted family.
So, is did she adopt, use a "donor" or a turkey baster?
According to some comments on "Rate My Professors" she's clearly a deranged liberal.
Isn't that phrasing just a tad-racists? - right from jump street of this article.
I considered the character a black teenager - not a 'black boy'...my, how the liberals are liberal with their selective wording....almost as if he's inflicting subliminal racism into the movie by the choice of words used in the article...
Hmmm. Stereotyping profiling bigotry on display.
a la There are NO snappy, sharp-tongued Southern black women?
It seems pretty stupid to judge a movie by its trailer.
You gotta be kidding me?
I am sure there was some creative license in dialogue, etc. But the white family who took in this kid has to be admired. Where would that kid be today if they hadn’t? Where are the black middle class families doing likewise? There are an awful lot of whites who take in cast off children to raise, whether black or white.
I raised a white child, one of six cast off siblings, never took a penny for her. She is my daughter. Today she is a grown gal of fine character and has published a college text book. She and my natural born children are all of a tight knit extended family group....
I think there is a difference in whether you take in a child for the child’s sake or whether you take the child in to fulfill your self.
The woman took in the child in ‘Blind Side’ strictly for the sake of the child. Not to make a statement or to fulfill some need in herself.
She could write a book about a black family adopting a down and out white kid anytime she wants.
Typical racist liberals.
The movie simply notes what much of the black community has become. Dont blame the mirror. I dont even believe that the mentality expressed in this article is the majority view among blacks. They dont like this movie because a woman who represents what they despise (white christian suburban capitalist mom) helps a boy become a man.
