What do guys between the ages of 14-27 listen to these days? Rock and rap are neutered plablum and metl crwled up its own ass to die. I’d bet we’d have fewer problems if these dudes got into The Stooges or Rage or Wu Tang or anything that kicks ass

It’s movie aimed at children. You expect children to understand the nuances of slavery?

In Washington, we have lots of programs to aid students in her situation

The school is the publisher, is it not? It can kill any story it wants to

All I can say is that as a child, everyone thought he was a slave and I had white kids tell me slavery didn’t look so bad after we watched it in school

It certainly would have changed because a Puerto Rican lead would have starred in a massive box office success. 

“but also put it in context in terms of what the filmmakers intended and makes an argument for why we should still care despite it.”

Stop justifying racial bigtory by saying, “she overcame it, so it doesn’t really matter.”

She would have been the star that Wood was if she had the lead role. That means more money, better roles, and more power. She got screwed because the studio, director, and producers were bigots who kept people “in their place.”

Sharecroppers rarely could decide to leave as the property owners normally overcharged them for land and underpaid them for crops, thus tying them to the soil.

That their intent was vile and racist and we should not excuse them

56% of you voted for an proven bigot last time and a ton of you are making exucses for a segregtionist who authored a “crime bill” which targetted black communities. 

They intended to casta  white woman as a Puerto Rican and therefore pretend that Puerto Ricans could be leads

Read the comments here when it ws mentioned tht Disney+ would not carry it. There werre a ton of people crying and whining about its exclusion

As a group, you have proven you learned nothing.

Yes, it is. It pretends that freedmen would be happier as sharcroppers than as full citizens and idealizes life on the plantation. It helped to popularize the idea that black people benefitted from slavery and Jim Crow.

Yeh, being a co-star insted of the lead is such  big win

Soccer itself is the problem. Until FIF, UEFA, the leagues, and teams do something this nonsense will keep hppening. Relegate Valencia to the fourth tier and ban them from promotion for a decade and see how fast this shit stops

Simple solution:

It means you can offer very little of value in this discussion. Do we air Olympia or Triumph of The Will regularly on TV? Nope, but you have white people clamoring for Gone with the Wind and Song of the South, which are just as vile
