‘Roots’: fair cop. A big part of US history many were unfamiliar with.

But ‘Selma’ is the latest from the so-called civil rights movement as it plays the usual medley of its Greatest Hit (singular).

What may not be clear to the race bizzers is that the ritual of self-congratulation only brings into stark relief how their leaders have squandered their ‘victory’ in the 50 years following.

The greatest irony is all the rhetoric about bondage, freedom, self-determination, etc. in the 60s is rendered moot by the de facto enslavement of much of the black population by a political party with the eager help of black collaborators. A vote to eat tomorrow is really no vote at all, as the Democrats intended.

If it flops, it’ll be blamed on racism.

Yup, the racism of Black people not supporting a Black movie! I wonder why that is? Blacks are always bitching that there are not enough Black shows, movies, characters, but I am supposed to believe there aren't enough Blacks theater goers to make this a runaway hit without White folk to prop it up? That's why I get pissed with all the multi millionaire Black performers screaming racism all the time.

How does one “smear” LBJ? By portraying him as honest and concerned for minorities?

WHAT ? Roots was a fictional novel plagiarized from a novel about the persecution of the Jews by Nazis.

Beck never fails to jump in with things like that to prove “I’m not racist”—the highest value current in the country. He thinks it will get him a name for total objectivity and honesty.

When they make the Al Sharpton biopic, it’ll be called SELL ME.

This idiotic statement (on the back of yesterday’s idiocy) shows he has NEVER read a single article about PEGIDA that wasn’t from a left wing news source.

Well, they need white people in addtition to the black population, to spend their money to see their black vs whitey movies. Whitey has gotten sick of supporting this.

NO FILM will ever be made by Hollywood, BET, Oprah, etc. that tells the WHOLE TRUTH about MLK.””

I knew an FBI agent that was assigned to guard MLKs group when he visited Texas. The agent had to go to this suite and found MLK and a number of women and other men buck naked in the room. MLKs wife was not one of them. This too is a side you will never hear about. The orgies.

Nope - just saying the reason he’s buried on his ranch ... don’t know where on the ranch exactly ... wonder if there’s a no fly zone over it ...

Americans have been race baited a bit too much and probably assumed the film was more race bait. Race bait is race hate by another name.

Oh, dear. Well, maybe Glenn Beck can buy enough tickets to shore it up at the box office.

I don’t see MLK as a mixed bag at all. I just see him for what he was-—another leftwing radical.

He called our troops war criminals, said the U.S. was the biggest purveyor of violence in the world, and he was a “pastor” who didn’t believe in the divinity of Jesus.

I don’t waste my time trying to find out if Obama, Holder, or John Kerry did good deeds, and I see no reason to bother with King, either.
