Hollywood? Changing history? I don’t buy it.
Oprah needs to manufacture controversy about her movies, mainly because the public has been saturated with slave movies. If all else fails, she can revisit that purse shop in Switzerland and pretend to have been insulted by a sales clerk, thus producing “International Racism Event Part Deux”
in her mind.
Will the movie contain LBJ’s quote about blacks and voting Dem for the next 200 years?
I’m suspecting not.
Will they ever run out of these black victim hood dramas
Poor kids today believe so much of this
LBJ usually voted with the Dixiecrats, did he not, as did JFK and many another Democrat? They revised their own histories to become "Civil Rights" icons when they suddenly noticed that northern Negroes could keep them in power forever.
Oprah Winfrey wouldn’t sign the petition against North Korea.
She let the tyrants there silence her.
Think about that when you’re reading/watching this controversy.
Established historic fact should not be tampered with in movies based on actual history. The parts that are dramatized should responsibly be a good interpretation of how they would've happened.
British historic dramas are pretty good at that (ex: The King's Speech).
The Ferguson crazies and their enablers are creating a world view for themselves that all whites in positions of authority are the enemy. If this movie re-enforces that stereotype, it's not only bad history, it's dangerous.
JMHO
I thought that had already been released. I’ve seen the ads for it for weeks now.
In my very best Princess Bride voice ... Inconceivable!
Was this scene in the movie?
“I’ll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years”
-LBJ
All this reminds me of that movie where the guy wakes up every morning and totally repeats the previous day, over and over.
Seems every generation of blacks wants to repeat the civil rights days to. Assign themselves as a martyr, or the next MLK.
Its a campaign looking for “justice” where no INjustice exists.
It’s the issue that never ends.
The more they carry on, the less of a f#€k I give.
LBJ could not have done more damage to Blacks in America if he had been a KKK Grand Wizard. Will Blacks EVER get that?
They must be worried. AARP sent my wife free tickets. I hate being a member but it saves me on my cell phone bill.
Americans and others get perverted history lessons from the movies. That is why so many of them are dumb as posts on real history. They seem to forget that movies are entertainment first, a gloss over of history second, or an outright fabrication of history.
I think those who in recent years have been blaming LBJ for a part in the JFK assassination are similar as in this movie that appears to be a bunch of hogwash, horse feathers, rubbish. I haven’t seen solid evidence that the grade school teacher Lyndon was some cold-hearted killer.
In light of the controversy depicting a Black man as the next James Bond, what if, instead of David Oyelowo playing Dr. King, it was Rosie O’ Donnell in drag? You couldn’t pay me to see anything that Oprah is involved with.
JFK opposed King's march on Washington DC. Someone should make a film about the Kennedys holed up running interference and monitoring the situtation.
The question about LBJ, Civil Rights and Voting Rights was settled in 1964 when LBJ supported the Civil Rights Bill and Goldwater opposed the Civil Rights Bill.
Haven’t they picked at the healing scab for far too long?
LBJ bent this nation backwards to appease and fund the hurts.
Lotta no good that has done with pee poor results. Get over it already.
