Another movie where the majority of white characters are racist and evil


Within the first 5 minutes theres already a reference to all the racism of the time period even though it adds nothing to the story other than to remind us that white people are evil. Not surprised considering the director has done very left leaning movies before this.

here we go ... every single film ....

..and the obligatory "left" reference . double whammy.
So what your saying here is all staunch right leaning republicans like yourself cant accept that slavery was evil , and hence , I can only assume , would like to bring it back?

or am i misreading you?

reply

You are not, he’s a fragile white man that feels any movie with white people doing things negative in a movie is an attack on all caucasians and him personally

I don’t think he’s saying anything different than when black people or women or asians or lawyers, or cops etc. see their demographic negatively portrayed. It rubs people the wrong way and I can accept that and not make it worse by being dismissive. I will say however, there is over-sensitivity to it right now. I’ve commented elsewhere that I felt this movie was very reasonable in not portraying any demographic as all good or all bad. IMHO it was exactly like you said. There were individual bad and good people. Tom Hank’s character was the hero after all and sacrificed nearly his life to protect a little girl who was an immigrant and a complete stranger to him. That’s a pretty admirable character. And the girl saved him and the Indians saved them both and a young white man saved them etc etc.

Good post, it's good to see some reasonable interpretation.

reply

It’s after the civil war, dipshit, to ignore the racism at the time would be historically inaccurate

reply

Well yeah, white assholes dragged black people to America against their will. That is fact. Sorry that you don’t like facts.

reply

After they procured them from the black assholes and muslim assholes who captured them and put them up for sale.

reply

No no stop deflecting blame.

reply

um , does that make it ok?

reply

"...um , does that make it ok?"

No, but why only the hatred of white people? Why isn't there just as much outrage against blacks for forcing their own people into slavery?

Answer: Politicians would rather use the unbalanced racial hatred against whites as a political cudgel to further divide the country to advance their social and economic agendas which are rooted in Socialism and Communism rather than free-market systems.

reply

Because they were/are.

reply

The majority of white characters are racist and evil because the majority of characters are white.
The only good characters in the movie are also white.

reply

It’s like the lemmings here forgot that most the south and all of the north didn’t own slaves. And all of the north fought and died to end slavery. And Republican President Abraham Lincoln ended slavery and lost his life because of it. And it all happened over 150 years ago.

Time to move on and get a job losers. The only thing holding you back is your crappy democrat party and their garbage public education industry.

reply

I think it says more about Tom Hanks taking the girl back to live with him suggesting a pedo like relationship. Not a good look with his name on the Epstein logs

reply

Really? Now we are going the "pedo" route? I did not read anything like that in the movie. Sorry you did. That says more about you than it does about the movie.
