12 Years a slave?...How about 8 years a slave under Obama?
Written, directed, and produced by a white man. Once again, the black man will be played like a fool and used as a tool if he engages in the mental / emotional process the puppetmasters intended.
It was ‘time’ for Obama. We all see how that bit of brilliance turned out, didn’t we?
The ‘art’ of cinema has given way to guilt and diversity it seems. Regardless of whether the movie gets Oscars, I’m guessing the movie sales will be about as meaningful as “Django” or that ridiculous movie, “White House Down,” both having the dubious honor of Jamie Fox star in them.
That seems a little overblown to me. What, exactly, are they saying other than: it’s time to vote for our movie for Oscars?
“Playing the Whitey Guilt Card.”
Beat me to it.
The movie wasn’t very good.
I saw that movie a few weeks ago and thought it was completely over the top. Yes I know the book was like that but I have a suspicion that the truth was stretched in that book so as to promote the anti-slavery agenda more back then. I mean come on, the guy is constantly constantly beaten whipped, tortured all all the time, the girl constantly whipped beaten tortured all the time. Back then slaves were basically seen as livestock, horses, how many owners tortured and beat the crap out of their horses? It makes no sense as they would just be screwing themselves. Yes there were psychopaths around who did that kind of crap, but to me it just seemed a little too unbelievable in this movie where pretty much EVERYONE is doing it which is why I think that black film critic was badmouthing the director a few months ago.
Shouldn’t that disqualify the movie just like the Christian movie?

Nah.
I won't feel too guilty, since the black star has a white girlfriend.
To the liberals it’s racist if Oscar voters do NOT vote for this movie.
I remember there were some protests among homosexuals years ago, when Brokeback Mountain didn’t win the Oscar for best picture. The homosexuals charged that voters lost their guts and gave in to pressures to not vote for that movie.
I never saw Brokeback, but, having no desire to see a movie about homosexual cowboys, I’ll never know if that was a great movie or not.
It’s time to stop whining about racism.
It’s time for what? To end slavery? They’re a little late with that message don’t you think?
From Bowfinger:
Kit Ramsay (played by Eddie Murphy):
“White boys get all the Oscars. lt’s a fact.
“Did I get a nomination ?
“No. You know why ? ‘Cause I ain’t played none of them slave roles or get my ass whipped.
“That’s when you get the nominations.
“Black dude play a slave role, get his ass whipped, he gets the nomination.
“White boy play an idiot, they get the Oscar.
“Find me a script as a retarded slave, then I get the Oscar. “
Kit Ramsey’s Agent: “Oh. l’m gonna schmooze. I’ll be right back.”
Kit Ramsey: “Yeah. Go find that script.
‘’ Buck, the Wonder Slave.’’ “
