The last movie with minorities as the bad guys?


I think every movie since has been white guys if I'm not mistaken?

reply

I was just thinking the same thing myself...you think even Jew-dominated Hollywood would make a movie today with Muslim extremists as the bad guys? Nope.

And James Cameron directed this movie to boot...he is one of the biggest white-guilt apologists around.



Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

One of the most sickening examples of this was "Sum Of All Fears", were they changed the terrorists from Muslim extremists to Neo-Nazis. Completely changed the story and the whole point of the original book.

The Siege with Denzel Washington and Bruce Willis had Muslim extremists and Rules of Engagement with Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson had Muslims as the villains. But I completely agree that Hollywood does everything they can to protect middle eastern stereotypes. Even "Munich" directed by Steven Spielberg didn't accurately portray the true events of Israeli retaliation for the 1972 Olympics.

Executive Decision, a film in which a group of Arab terrorists hijack a plane and attempt to unleash a daily toxin over Washington D.C. came out two years later, to name but one film where the bad guys aren't white.

Captain Phillips was a recent high-profile one with bad guys who aren't white. There have been superhero films with black bad guys too, like Daredevil and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Yeah but Captain Phillips still portrayed the Somali bad guys as ‘victims’ who were ‘desperate’.

reply

Wait, do you mean Islamists or minorities? Because the later are almost always bad guys in some capacity.




Just my one cent since I can't afford two.

Had these movies made people start to wonder and take precautions. Then there probably wouldn't have been a 9/11.

Yeah, just like if that knucklehead Bush hadn't ignored the warnings of a possible terrorist attack (for example his daily briefing a month before 9/11 which specifically said that Bin Laden was determined to strike the US and might use planes), then maybe there wouldn't have been a 9/11.

Yeah, Muslims really have messed up a lot of things in the world.

They created a global banking cartel which enslaves millions and creates debt poverty.

They finance both sides of a conflict.

The promote degenerate ideas through the media which undermine family values.

Muslims are responsible for the deaths of 100 million Native Americans.

Muslims occupied the entire continent of the Americas and wiped out 100's of native cultures.

Muslims Occupied South Africa and kept the host culture as a second class slave race.

Muslims still occupy Australia and New Zealand.

Muslims killed 6 million jews during world war 2.

Muslims created all the various chemical and biological weapons in existence today.

Muslims hold back the idea of Interest free loans and mortgages.


Those god damn pesky Muslims!!!

You are mostly correct, but let me clarify some things:

"They created a global banking cartel which enslaves millions and creates debt poverty."
You mean the rich sheiks of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi and Qatar? They do not created it, they are just part of it.

"They finance both sides of a conflict."
Yes, they supply money and weapons to Palestinian terrorists and suicide bombers while posing as good guys who only want peace.

"The promote degenerate ideas through the media which undermine family values."
Everyone who promote an idea believes to be promoting the right idea, against other people´s degenerate ideas which undermine family values.

"Muslims are responsible for the deaths of 100 million Native Americans."
There have never been 100 million Native Americans, not even counting Central and South Americas together; besides, this was the white men, not the muslims.

"Muslims occupied the entire continent of the Americas and wiped out 100's of native cultures."
Wrong again. Muslims occupied North of India, Persia, Southeast Europe, Western Asia, Indonesia, Northern half of Africa and even Spain. You are correct about wiped native cultures. (but "hundreds" is an exaggeration.)

"Muslims Occupied South Africa and kept the host culture as a second class slave race."
No, Muslims occupied North of Africa, but yes, enslavered people and treated them as second class race.

"Muslims still occupy Australia and New Zealand."
No, Australia and New Zealand are not occupied, unless you consider every people movement as an "occupation"; in this sense, the entire world is occupied.

"Muslims killed 6 million jews during world war 2."
Muslims killed many people in history, as everybody else did, but despite the claims from religious leaders in Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, clearly stating they hate the jews and want to "push Israel to the sea", they actually have killed much less than that.

Actually most of the Indians died from ilnesses that the people from European countries were immune to. There was no way the people from Europe could have known that the Indians would be so affected by their common ilnesses. Still the trail of tears was wrong. Of course so are a lot of things from American history. All we can do is try to learn from the past to become better people.

@jasonbagwell77 Iron Man had Muslim bad guys in the first half.

That's totally wrong.

Why should only white people be bad guys?

I mean they didn't kill 100 million Native Americans over the course of 500 years.

They didn't ravage an entire continent (The Americas) and destroy hundreds of different cultures.

They did not enslave 100 million blacks over the course of 400 years and treat them as animals.

They did not occupy foreign nations such as Australia and South Africa, bringing disease, torture, murder and exploitation to the native residents.


This was all done by muslims.


Leave white people alone!!!

It occurs to me what the TC said isn't true since the bad guys in Collateral Damage were Spanish people.
