They hate SotS for the same reason they hate Gone With the Wind. The portrayal of black men as an "Uncle Tom" willing to get along with white people in a subservient role. Rather they want all portrayals as the black man being consumed with hatred and wanting to kill all the white people. Despite historical evidence that supports both depending on the person.
Thank you for the link.
Even though I knew all the songs, the characters, and the stories, I had never actually seen the movie.
Now that I have seen it, I understand completely why the Left hates it.
It shows people of both races interacting with each other, like the black boy and the white one, as kids are wont to do.
It shows a tender black man who doesn’t seem to harbor hate in his heart for anyone of any color, is full of wisdom, and could be anyone’s grandfather...of any color.
They cannot stand it if people get along. They simply can’t. Their goal is to inflame and divide people, because that is what gives them power.
Disgusting, filthy people.
