Everyone knows the best way to heal racial relations in the USA is to...
Make movie after movie about white people in an isolated part of America ages and ages ago killing or enslaving black people. That's going to bridge the divide! You bet.
shareSo should there be no films about the The Holocaust because it makes Germany look bad?
shareThe holocaust films are not being made in order to guilt-trip modern Germans.
shareLMAO...YOU HAVE SOME OF THE STUPIDEST OPINIONS ON THIS SITE...LMAO. NOEMOJI
shareThat's what Leftists say when someone hits a nerve.
shareI AM NOT A LEFTIST...WHATEVER YOU THINK THAT MEANS. NOEMOJI
shareIf you cannot see that modern Hollywood has a definite agenda to defame Whites, you must be either in denial or very naive.
shareHe’s both.
shareYOU ARE CLEARLY A MORON. NOEMOJI
shareIts important not to forget history or hide it away because certain things were awful. It teaches us why things are the way they are today AND hopefully prevents us from making the same wrong choices in the future.
shareI don't watch movies in order to be taught things. But even if I did, I'm not likely to ever enslave anyone, and if I was going to it would take more than some movie to stop me.
shareThis is a very good point.
shareI'm aware that you don't like to be educated. That doesn't mean that the rest of us feel that way. Showing this film will help explain to a lot of people how we got to where we are today and that is hugely important.
shareIs it really possible to defame a child killer? They are already evil. Why do you love those criminals so much that you oppose defaming them on the forum?
shareThis is it exactly! I feel that he is outraged because he feels guilty because he's a racist so he see's this film as shaming white people instead of shaming the white, bigoted, racist evil, southern racists.
shareYou really don't get it, do you?
I suppose if you watched anti-Jewish Nazi propaganda films from the 1930s, you would insist that those films were only meant to shame those who were "greedy lecherous Jews" and not to create negative stereotypes and generate hatred towards Jewish people in general.
You're putting far too much effort into propping up the reputation of the men that killed Till.
shareIt's just not really about those particular men. Hollywood is just using them as representatives for all whites, so audiences will hate them or feel self-disgust at their own whiteness. It's like how in the past, all the Native Americans depicted in movies were portrayed as violent, scalping savages. Audiences are meant to come out of the movie horrified that white people in general did that to poor Till. Not that THOSE particular men did it. Do you think there will be even one sympathetic white character? Doubt it.
If they made a movie about a case where blacks killed a young white like this, it would be protested by mobs of thousands.
It really is strange that you would feel this way because of a film. Do you feel this way because of a guilty conscience? I have never felt disgust over myself as the result of a character portrayal in a film.
Exactly which years in American cinema depicted all Native Americans as violent blood thirsty savages?
You have not seen this film yet, so why are you so certain that the producers intend that you feel "white people in general" would "do that to poor Till"?
There are films depicting black on white violence. I've yet to hear of any "mobs of thousands" protesting as you say would happen.
I am totally sick of the guilt-trips Hollywood has been trying to lay on us the past couple of decades. Not because I have a guilty conscience. My family never owned slaves and never did anything against blacks or any minority. What sickens me is the constant stream of anti-white propaganda churning out of the bowels of Hollywood this century.
Guess you never watched any Westerns made between 1900 and 1970.
Name one film about black on white violence produced during the past 20 years.
It's only a guilt trip if you actually feeling guilty. I think you feel guilty and instead of being an outlier, you want to have company on the trip by including a bunch more people you only imagine feel the same as you.
So "all the Native Americans depicted in movies" from 1900 to 1970 were violent scalping savages? What about Tonto in the Lone Ranger films/TV series? The Lakotas in Dances With Wolves? Can you be more clueless if you tried?
I think you would only feel sickened from a guilty conscience. I've no reason to feel guilty, why should you?
Why are you moving the goal posts before I give you the names of films? How about White Man's Burden or Birth of a Nation?
Think what you like, man. At least I am not so clueless as to think Dances With Wolves was made between 1900 and 1970.
shareYou said above, "It's like how in the past, all the Native Americans depicted in movies were portrayed as violent, scalping savages."
Dances With Wolves is a good example.
ETA; these are good examples of how wrong you are.
