All is not well on the plantation, it seems.

We can safely assume that Harry Lennix has already received calls informing him that 'you'll never work in this town again". The left and the race card dealers have no patience with plantation slaves trying to act 'uppity'.

Good for him. He was also very good in Julie Taymor’s “Titus.”

People have stopped going to see it after the first weekend... it will be on PPV and DVD in a few weeks.

Actor Henry Lennix ... a profile in courage.

Wasn't he the leader of Zion in the
Matrix movie?
To: LibLieSlayer
I pray you’re right.
I wouldn’t spend one dime or my precious time to see it.

My wife drug me to see it, and all the way home I talked to her about the historical truth stretching all through it, particularly in regard to Presses Nixon and Reagan. In the end she came to my point of view....

But then he ni**erfies it. He ni**ers it up and he gives people these, stupid, luddite, antediluvian ideas about black people and their roles in the historical span in the White House and it becomes
well
historical porn. Bravo. That's exactly what Lee did. He perverted the life of an actual person into his fantasy of history. He definitely gave the Reagans "stupid, luddite, antediluvian ideas about black people" that the Reagans did not hold.

I’m certain you’re correct about that. The cast is a dead giveaway.

By the way, I wonder if Colin Powell agrees with the portrayal of Ronald Reagan in “The Butler.” That certainly would be a more relevant question for him, as a black in the Reagan Administration, than his views on the Trayvon Martin case.

The Oprah frowns upon such insolence!

I worked for President Reagan. There wasn’t a racist bone in his body.

I’ve been following Nick Searcy on twitter and he’s ruthless about taking up the fight against the race baiters. I didn’t realize it but his adopted (now adult) son is black.

2DV,
The comments at the link are a trip!
To: LibLieSlayer
People have stopped going to see it after the first weekend... it will be on PPV and DVD in a few weeks.Actually, that idiotic NewsMax story was highly misleading. Even blockbuster movies routinely lose up to 50% of their income after the first week. This movie is down some 33%. In the industry, that is considered very good.

Yeah well if it were a biography of Reagan or perhaps George W Bush, what would they say about 33% drop in receipts? Never listen to people that you know lie... and hollywood lies about everything in and outside of their movies.

It’s BOTH a black-centric site and MSNBC, so nothing would surprise me!
