Does it show any photos of the 700,000 dead from the Civil War?
Sorry CNN, but I didn’t participate in any of that.
And, given that it was ...oh....fifty years or so ago, I calculate that few of today’s offenders know anything about it...especially since the vast majority of them probably cannot even read. (See UNC for more wonderful details.)
So, in summary, grow up, get a job, and know that I really do not give a smelly Obama about it.
We’ve got bigger fish (and liberals) to fry.

His bona fides, please?
do you think this writer would want people to see it? WOuld he write:
The movie is an unsanitized portrait of a nation's shameful present. It is two hours of breathing in the inner city and then walking out of the theater trying to pretend the stench is all gone. There is no question that "12 Years a Ghetto" was the best picture of 201_. But as the box office receipts show, not many of us are ready for that kind of honesty.
Yawn....nope, don’t think I’ll waste my money on this.
To answer their question, no, I haven’t seen Rush.
The rest of the Democrat Party in the South may have hated Negros, but LBJ saw the future of buying them with taxpayer money and putting them back on the Democrat plantation. But they’re not singing like Phil Robertson remembers. The only thing we hear these days is whining.
Let’s see, I have never owned slaves, my family has never owned slaves, my father’s parents came over from Sweden long after slavery ended, my mother’s great-grandfather died in the war that set the slaves free. . . . So why exactly should I feel any guilt about this?
Does it show any photos of the 700,000 dead from the Civil War?
But it’s very easy to pretend that the stench of one hundred years’ of Democrat Segregationism is “all gone” Right, CNN?
The Anglo-American culture that they so despise didn’t invent slavery, but did end it. And not just within their own borders, but everywhere their influence reached.
The only vestiges remain in those benighted locales that remain outside of the American sphere of influence today.
Maybe someone could make a movie about that, eh?
I’ve seen 6 of the 9 best picture nominees (first year of retirement and I’m recovering from an injury. LOTS of free time) and so far “12 years a Slave” is hands down the best picture, best actor, best director. As far as the genera goes, it is easily as good as “The Color Purple” and much better than the long winded “Roots”.
As far as Best Actress, Sandra Bullock for “Gravity” IMO.
“12 Years” may indeed be the best film of the year, but it is precisely this “eat your vegetables, you RACIST” attitude of the Professional Left that makes me NOT rush out to see it.
We’ll get around to seeing it in a year or so on Blu-Ray. Sorry, LZ ol’ buddy, I guess I’m just not un-racist enough to be “ready” for it at $15.
(I wonder what, if anything, LZ had to say about the similarly graphic whippings in “Passion of the Christ.” Maybe he wasn’t “ready.”)
I haven’t seen this film or any film for the last 20+ years.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
I guess too many suburban WASPs are flocking to the Tyler Perry movies.
Heck, these days they have willingly become cradle to grave slaves.
No matter how good the movie, no matter how true a picture it paints, it will have one effect. “Teens” will come boiling out of the mall multiplexes near the ‘hoods to assault their “oppressors”.
Yes, that particular stench is pretty pervasive in the company this author of this stinko "progressive" keeps... And it's not likely to dissipate any time soon with the level of denial these bozos are into.
