How absolutely horrible! Oprah and Hollywood are going ga-ga over The Butler a project that is purposely filled with racist lies from beginning to end. What horrible people.
As Eric Bolling pointed out today on The Five that the “real” Butler was born in Virginia. His mother was never raped by a white man. His father was never killed by a white man. That was just included as an extra jab at whitey.

There’s more… The real Butler’s life story was not bad enough so they had to fill it up with racist lies. Hoover.org reported:
"Born in 1919, Eugene Allen grew up in segregated Virginia, and slowly worked his way up the butler profession, largely without incident. Unlike the fictional Cecil Gaines, he did not watch the boss rape his mother on a Georgia farm, only to shoot a bullet through his father’s head as he starts to protest the incident, leading Cecil years later to escape his past for a better future.
Instead, over a period of years, Allen rose from a “pantry man” to the highest position in White House service, Maître d’hôtel. His life was marked by quiet distinction and personal happiness. He was married to the same woman, Helene, for 65 years. He had one son, Charles, who served in Vietnam. During the Reagan years, Nancy Reagan invited Allen and his wife to a state dinner as guests. When he retired shortly afterwards, “President Reagan wrote him a sweet note. Nancy Reagan hugged him, tight,” according to the story in the Washington Post. During service, he never said a word of criticism about any president. Nor was his resignation an act of political protest.
The fictional Cecil, however, does not come to the White House under Truman, but arrives in 1957, just in time for one of the defining events of the civil rights movement—namely, President Eisenhower’s reluctant but firm decision to move federal troops into Little Rock, Arkansas, after Orval Faubus quite literally barred the school room door.
In general, the movie is full of hype. Cecil’s wholly fictional older son Louis gets involved in the civil rights movement from the time of the sit-ins through the rise of the Black Panther movement, and a younger brother, who professes pride in his country pays the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam. Cecil’s wife, Gloria, falls prey to alcoholism and for a time has a shabby affair with the guy next door.
Gaines’ service is marked by quiet frustration, knowing that black workers suffered a 40 percent wage deficit that lasted under the Reagan years, while being excluded from well-deserved promotions. When the weight of these injustices hit him, Cecil resigns to join his son Louis in a protest movement. When Slate’s, Aisha Harris was asked “How True is The Butler?” her candid answer was “not much.”
Read the rest here.
And the low infos will such these inaccuracies up as gospel.
What a wonderful opportunity blown. I would have very much liked to have seen a movie or a biography on this man. Think of the unique perspective he had over many holders of higher office.
There was a piece on the White House staff on A&E or the History channel and it was lovely. I would have loved to have seen this...but when they put Jane Fonda in it...I knew this wasn’t going to be the story I was looking for. These articles confirm that. Keep stirring that racis pot, Oprah and Hollywood morons.
The entire purpose of this movie is to foster racial hate and violence.
Americans are ignorant and believe that a “docu drama” is a history lesson, i.e. documented fact.
The goal here? See how many white people can be assaulted or killed by angry blacks after watching this piece of propaganda.
In a sick way, it is consistent that Oprah publicized this with her fake story of race discrimination.
This country will *never* recover from the race hatred promulgated by the Democrats and their racist in chief Obama. Ironic when one considers that Obama is just as much white as black.
Bookmark.
Django was the same thing that Tarantino did in ‘Kill Bill’ and ‘Inglorius Basterds’...a disenfranchised minority (women and Jews in the first two films) lashes out against The Man.
The American people will still believe the lies if Oprah says they are “truth”.
“Poetic license” allows the race hustlers to twist the facts to fit the agenda. Propaganda 101.
“In general, the movie is full of hype. “
Well we knew it would be didn’t we?
The real Mrs. Allen was a respectable church going woman. This movie turns her into a drunken tramp. The Allen family can’t be happy about this and it’s telling that they are not supporting the movie.
Thanks servo1969.
If we did a movie about the white side of race relations and packed it with as many self serving lies as this movie has - it would be called hate... and rightly so...
Jane Fonda AS Nancy Reagan...... is the movie industry’s long form “birth Certificate”
