Why in the world would the theatre owner think he'd need police at such a movie?

MAYBE they had a threat called in or something. I would NOT feel bad seeing 3 cops....I would feel like something was up.

“The Grio” is the house organ for the Church of The Perpetually Outraged.

It’s a game. Oprah and Oppie in the WH are playing us for fools. Just disgusting.

So I guess she figures only blacks would see that film?
It all seems very odd, but I don’t understand why she thinks this is racial.

Flowers would be the first to bitch if the ferals broke out doing what ferals do when congregated. Close security monitoring should be standard procedure whenever a movie with a “Black” theme is showing, especially in Silver Spring. I’m sure similar precautions were taken when Django was playing.
Black lady was “seething?” I think that’s better than “White Girl Bleed a Lot,” but I am quite sure Ms. Flowers doesn’t share my perspective. Tough. Must suck to be her, that she’s so easily set to “seething.”

I predict there will be riots if “The Butler” doesn’t get the Oscar for Best Picture.

The most probable explanation is that there was a threat phoned into the theater.
However, the theater-goer chose to believe that the police were there to make HER, herself, feel uncomfortable because of the color of oprah’s (or her own)skin.

I get the feeling that the “powers that be” are trying to foment a civil war.
Or it could just be Oprah paying off the cops for more publicity.

It would just be one more failed “look at me” movie.

You're attending a movie in what amounts to a Third World sewer where even the City Councilmen are convicted felons and you're upset be cause you DO see cops?

Wait until the charges come that you didn’t go see this movie because you all are racists.

I think Tiffanu is just upset because they didn’t have any Skittles at the refreshment counter.

If you knew the local demographics you wouldn't wonder.

My local theaters have employed off duty cops and sheriffs for at least a decade....
Holders people have made it necessary.
