Look at what they did in the Butler. Turned a solid work ethis that led a man to a top position at the WH into a story of constant oppression and racism.
You are correct. BUTLER was a lie. I met the man who the movie is based on long after he retired. He left because of the horrid attitudes of the Clintons and their contempt for the dignity of the White House. His years with Ike, and all who followed up to Bush 1 were days of pride and joy for him and his staff. They never felt opressed until the Clinton’s came to power. Even Johnson, a died in the wool racist, was dignified in his treatment of the WH staff. Ladybird had much to do with this.
