“SYMBOLIC OF THE LEFT’S STRUGGLE AGAINST REALITY: New Christopher Nolan WWII Movie ‘Dunkirk’ Portrays White People as White, Runs Afoul of Diversity Police.”
Whites (like Glenn Reynolds) complaining like this miss the point: WWII lasted for 12 years, and yet whites make movie after movie about it. Meanwhile, American slavery lasted for 250+ years, and whites just can't seem to find the funding or ideas to make more than 1 film a year, if that, about it. And whites never go for realism (when was the last time you saw a slave in rags, or going insane, or suffering with dental or medical problems?) but dress it all up in bullshit. THAT'S what blacks think about, as whites pour more money into their myth making, about themselves - AGAIN.
Narcissism isn't only a Leftist concern.
And, from memory, I recall your description of Ann Romney, looking like a hawk, trying to find the next piece of flesh to peck.
ReplyDeleteSo good. --A fan.
Hi Crack, long time no see at Althouse.
ReplyDeleteWWII is interesting to me, and shaped today's world. Slavery is not that interesting, is old news, a bit stale honestly. If slavery interests you, go watch, or make, slavery movies.
What is interesting is that
a) Lincoln could have just bought all the slaves, with a big bond issue to be sure, and either let them go wherever, or shipped them home. No war;
2) the South could have just sold all their slaves off to Brazil, who would have worked them to death in a year or so.
Both would have spared us these interminable conversations.
