Movie: The Help -- designed to incite violence
Movie: The Help ^

Posted on 08/22/2011 6:05:46 PM PDT by MeneMeneTekelUpharsin

This movie, "The Help" has been written, filmed and distributed with the sole purpose of inciting violence at a politically fragil time in this country. Yes, some of the events in the movie occurred, but it is nowhere representative of society as a whole.

As a matter of fact, the historical background of a lot of leading Democrats would tie directly to this film, but getting the general public to notice that at this time would be futile. Some unbelievably emotional scenes exist in this movie to denigrate white society to the fullest.

I can not believe the timing of the release of this film. The primary "evil" white woman character could very easily be a young Nancy Pelosi. Whoever has decided to release such a film at this time into a politically-charged environment bears a LOT of responsibility for the effects.

I have no white guilt. My ancestors never owned slaves. I've never owned a slave, and I wasn't here for the civil rights movement.

In fact, I believe the working taxpayers have replaced slavery. We're the new slave labor. Not only do we labor to support the entire government as well as the democrat base - we labor to support the entire globe.
Isn't it time we freed the slaves again? Where's the guilt over tax payer slavery today? Slaves are slaves. It doesn't matter what color they are.
No man should be used as another mans slave.

I thought the same as you since the movie is very well done. And then I read the latest installment of the ulsterman series where zero has plans to really use the race card to get reelected and all of a sudden bells and whistles went off.

I have some very conservative friends and they loved it. I don’t go to movies so will not see it.

Please. The Help has been out for a couple of years in book form.

It’s a very good book and movie. Anyone who knows anything about that time knows it’s Democrats that imposed segregation.

Channon Christian, 21, and Christopher Newsom, 23.

“Seems pretty natural to make it into a movie.”

Or maybe just report it on the evening TV news.

I saw the movie and thought it was great.
One woman in the film was extremely bad, one was extremely good and the others were in the middle.

Hey, lighten up.

Read the comments here.

Freepers are willfully opening their wallets for this film so it can’t be all that bad.

As they say, it’s a free country, right?

the movie was basically apolitical. But the underlying message for those of us in 2011 was clear we should never forget our white guilt and always hold blacks to lower standards and give them passes all the time 24/7. Its all part of the regimes plans to turn a sure loss into a victory in 2012.

In reality zero could care less about the black vote, any vote. He hates his job. This guy is hired gun very well paid and is doing a job. He is run by others who pull his strings.

Movies like this are very effective. Have been for decades. Way too many Whites are patsies. They have been conditioned to believe that if not for evil whites race issues and racism would not exist. They will wring their hands, bemoan their existence and be silenced. They will nod their heads that whites in general are bad people and be kowtowed to accept all kind of anti white BS. Some will even applaud but never ever wonder why in our egalitarian society Hollywood doesn’t show Movies like this just like the constant barrage of KKK stories or events like James Byrd are meant to do one thing. To shame and berate whites. Whites are taught to believe that whites, their culture and civilization and only whites are the bane of racial harmony. Meanwhile horrific stories of black racial crap are either ignored, downplayed or outright excused like Omar Thornton murdering eight people. If we are so into truth, history and realism let Hollywood have a very direct look at black history and race. Let us explore black ‘racism’. (Of course they won’t do it.) Let’s look at the current day black community. Let us look at Africa and all its glory. Let’s look at the murder and torture of Shannon Christian and Christopher Newsom or Hymietown. Or any number of other examples. One day and hopefully before it is too late more whites will realize that all of this is a zero sum game with the specific purpose of our demise as the goal. Destroy Whites and Western civilization.

You are onto something. IMHO, there are gen X, Y and Z;s who have the same sentiment. When these come to be the movers and shakers, there will likely be a cultural uprising that will push to eliminate all raced based preferences.

I'm curious, is the word “Democrat” uttered once during the Movie?

Anybody mention Bull Conner, George Wallace or Robert Byrd while mentioning what Political Party they belong to?

Didn't think so.

Of course Zero and the Dems will play the race card. Big time.

But we've known that ever since he lost the independents, which meant he couldn't run on the hopey changey thing again.

If this movie were part of that agenda, this ammunition was fired way, way too early.

"I can't believe all of this stuff is happening

Not happening.. happened. It's over. It's done. This is what it look like. Next move is ours (yours) or it's a noisy stroll to North Korea.

it reminded me of Louisiana in the early 60’s of my childhood. “The Help,” as the maids were known, knew everything! I plan to see the movie - the trailers look hilarious to me. I guess I should wonder the motives of a movie like this - but oh my. I wonder what would happen if “backstairs at the white house” was shown on TV now... Is THAT inciting folks to violence?

Thank you very much indeed for the heads up. My spouse wants to see it badly. We enjoyed "Gangs of New York" together. In the film mentioned here, Billy Joe smashed and beat the "rednecks". More hatred cloaked in righteousness. I no longer go very much. Pay my grandaughter's admittance to go with her.

Very few will recall "Edge of the City" and they are lucky, for it was released in 1957. Dockside stuff. A decent young white man played by John Cassavetes chums up with another dock worker. He is played by Sidney Poitier. The African American is a perfect family man. The heavy is the evil "Charlie" played by Jack Warden. A homicidal corrupt union thug, absolutely vicious and lots of toadies around. He cannot stand white and black as friends.

The black man is murdered with a steel hook plunged into his back. Warden played "Charlie" so well as to be overplayed. The hero finally drags "Charlie" down in a headlock. "I am taking you in".

You can't have liberal friends. Stop it. Your friend wants to kill us. We don't like people who are friends with people who want to kill us. Stop providing succor to the enemy.

The movie wasn’t political. The OP is trying to make it political.

It’s a silly premise.

Maybe not if its just the first salvo with much much more to come. They may use this for a base and then build on it.
