re: How Do White People From Alabama Feel About "Selma" Here?

It's just a descriptor Black people did have to struggle both for freedom and for civil rights. Not sure what the issue is.

Yeah ... right. We know. We just got on boats, with little to nothing, sailed across the deep blue sea, got off the boats and it was all waiting on us. Everything was handed to us. No hardships. No pioneering. No fighting for rights and independence.

Sheeeesh. All my family history dating back to the mid to late 1600s in this country ... I need to go tell Mom and Dad it was all bullshite. How tough my ancestors had it. All the wars my ancestors fought-in for independence, for states rights, to just own a couple of acres of land ... to sharecrop in South Carolina and Mississippi and Tennessee. The sacrifices to start our own businesses, to raise families without a government handout.

Yeah - no struggles. It was all handed to us.

Like, any movie about Europeans?

If you're talking about American whites, the majority typically doesn't have to struggle, so not sure what you're getting at.

But if you wanna go there, we could name movies that had to do with the American Revolution

Any movie about Europeans? Wut?

Majority of whites typically doesn't have to struggle?

lulz

The white middle class is the fastest declining sector of this country ... because they are carrying the leaches on their backs, the leaches on the government dole, the white middle class is with their overtaxed, overburdened $50-$75k American dream, of which more than half is being taken away from them by Uncle Sugar and given to other people just so they can breed more liberal progressive voters.

40% of this country, the working 40% ... is paying for the other 60%. That's a fact. And the number of people on welfare and government assistance has doubled in the past six years ... "Obama money," "Obama phones," "Obamacare." It's just bullshite.

The "majority" black man is still a slave ... he's just a better paid, less worked and less driven slave than he was before. He's like the sheep and cow in the field ... as long as they are being fed and left to do as they will, they're happy. It's pathetic. I drive by corners in every small town where the "majority" black man is standing on the corner, around a 55 gallon drum full of broken pallets burning, drinking cheap liquor and waiting on the welfare checks. Our education system is in the crapper ... why is that? Fifty years ago it was the finest on the planet. Now we're what, 28th in the world? And it's sinking fast too because of the shithooks in the schools letting anything and everything go ... Detroit and Memphis are two fine examples of formerly shining cities on the hill gone to shite.

Movies about the American Revolution? How about movies about the sacrifices made during every war since ... by majority white people? About how so many of us "majority white people" stood up for our fellow human beings, sometimes against our own families, when it came to civil rights, to equal opportunity?

How about movies about white people being brutally murdered by entitled blacks? About white people walking down the road and having some black punk sneak up behind them and hammer them in the nugget over some "knockout" game ... 100s of them! Women now paralyzed, old people dead, either from the punch or from their head hitting the pavement. Or the 72 year old white man I saw on the news the other night who was hit from behind in Chicago and is now paralyzed ... for simply walking down the street he has lived-on since 1951!

But let's not limit it to just blacks and whites. By gosh let's get the Chinese and Koreans involved, and the Latinos! How many Korean businesses were burned to the ground during the Rodney King riots? How many business were burned to the ground during the Ferguson riots ... and by whom? But they ain't havin' it tough right now ... and it's all the white man's fault. shite ... I guess everyone has had it easy ... oh, except the blacks.

Thankfully, I know very few blacks, or at least none that I call friends, who subscribe to this constant bullshite about how mistreated they are. Sure, every now and then I'll hear something about a perceived slight by a LEO because someone was driving a nice car ... but even that is usually laughed off. Hell, I've been pulled-over for driving my old truck and looking like a redneck. I was once even pulled because I was a well-known Gamecock fan driving in Clemson country near the home of a recruit ... and I didn't even know it ... by a Clemson fan cop who ran my tags because he saw the sticker on my car.

I laughed all that crap off. Most sane people with thick skin and without an entitlement mentality do ... oh, and we do what the cops ask us to do, especially when a gun is drawn. That's called, "making it easy on yourself." Or, "taking personal responsibility for one's actions."

Here's the problem with your way of thinking TBird ... IMHO.

If Hollywood and TV keeps pushing this false narrative about how whites are out to get blacks ... and they keep stirring the shite, well, eventually it's all gonna blow-up and this thing of ours, this great experiment we like to call The United States of America ... it's gonna all come crashing down. People of all colors on both sides are getting tired of the bullshite being perpetrated upon us - the non-stop lies, the revisionist history and the fricking shite stirring false-narratives about this and that or whoever has sand up their asses on a particular day.

It's getting old. That's all I'm saying.
