Accurate description of this piece of shit.
lol, this movie isn’t about any white person/white people solving racism, but okay, sure.
I’ve never seen the movie so I guess I shouldn’t make any assumptions about it. But I’m under the impression this movie (and a whole lot of other movies too) has the whole idea of “black people needing white people to help them” and “black people can’t do anything without the help of white people.” That’s what the movie poster is trying to point out.
This movie is about a woman who just so happens to be white and just so happens to be one of the few in the movie that sympathize with the black women/men. She’s a struggling writer and decides to write a book based on real life stories from black women who are maids working for the white folk. The black women refuse to help out Emma Stones character at first for fear for their lives until something happens and their essentially pushed over the edge.
The movie is about people trying to open other peoples eyes about racism and how horrible it is, and I’m not sure it’s a bad thing that the people who are helping them out are white. And really, Emma Stones character is the only white person who even helps them out because practically every other white character in the movie aside from her characters mother are horrible human beings.
Here’s what one of the maids the book and film are based on has to say about it. I’ll give you a hint: it’s not good.
Also, really? “OH SHE JUST HAPPENED TO BE WHITE AND THEY SHOULD TOTALLY BE GRATEFUL THAT SHE LISTENED TO THEM UNLIKE THE OTHER WHITE PEOPLE! SHE SAVED THEM FROM RACISM BECAUSE SHE’S ONE OF THE GOOD ONES!” Such a good one that she stole the stories of her black servants, put herself at the center of them, made millions of dollars off of their stories, refused to share a dime or even credit, and then denied even knowing the woman she named the main maid after.
Kathryn Stockett is an awful excuse for a human being and a terrible fake ally. And white people like you who stand up for her are just making yourselves look foolish and racist as well.
“DailyMail.Uk” is not a reliable news source. On the main page they have an article about Kim Kard-who-gives-a-fuck’s ex husband’s bachelor pad. Besides that they’re just shit haha. I loved the novel, I thought it was interesting and heart-wrenching, and I don’t think it was based on any characters IRL. I could be wrong, but don’t use that website as your source please.
So basically, your enjoyment of the book is more important than black people’s feelings about it, including those who it was written about?
And yeah, DailyFail is gossipy and biased, but it didn’t invent those quotes or that very real lawsuit. More sources.
We need people like laurondo and melodyweaver to start being less like laurondo and melodyweaver
