Conservatives Outraged!

[NOVA]

bingo sistah!

Another one....you gotta be studying acting, huh ?...or is this a natural talent..

[iolo]

Odd mm didn't apologize to me for that lie that somehow I said that the "whipping post" is just a fictional creation of Hollywood .....that boy just can't man up and admit
EVER making a mistake or telling a lie....but then, thats quite typical of ALL liberals on this board....

Whip 'em all!

[maineman]

"as far as portraying real life"....did that line give you trouble ?....
You know, real life....as opposed to......say, car chases in 007 movies, or shoot 'em ups in thriller movies.....

And oddly enough, I haven't ever wondered about flying monkeys anywhere, in the zoo, in the wild, or even in outer space....seems you did though.

your implication was that this movie was just as far removed from real life as a 007 movie.... and you want me to apologize to YOU for that? are you on fucking drugs?

[Jarod]

do you really think that Sally Hemmings WANTED to fuck Tom Jefferson?

Free sex with a founding father...

12 Years a Slave was a good movie. I bet Maineman fantasized about owning a few slaves while watching this movie.

[Mott the Hoople]

I'm kinda pissed myself and I'm not even a conservative. I sat through 12 Years a Slave and I definitely found myself wondering "Where are the happy slaves?". Not to mention all the meals they got for free. Funny how the film leaves all that out.

It's just like Hollywood isn't it? They don't want you to know about the slaves who were all like, damn this is the best gig ever.

I think Tom wrote this article btw:

"If ever in slavery's 250-year history in North America there were a kind master or a contented slave, as in the nature of things there must have been, here and there, we may be sure that Mr McQueen does not want us to hear about it. This, in turn, surely means that his view of the history of the American South is as partial and one-sided as that of the hated Gone With the Wind."

Wow....I mean wow!!

Excuse me....I have to go wash...after reading this filth I feel...well dirty.

Who is this pervert Bowman? Does he even have a clue what he is rationalizing? "If ever in slavery’s 250-year history in North America there were a kind master or a contented slave, as in the nature of things there must have been, here and there, we may be sure that Mr McQueen does not want us to hear about it".???!!

I mean holy bat shit. Fuck no. Anyone who would take another humans freedom away and exploit them as little more than live stock is a fucking depraved individual by any civilized definintion. In other word by the very defintion of slavery there could no in no way shape or form be a kindly slave master. I mean how kindly can slavery be when it's a social institution enforced upon somone by coercion and violence at the point of a gun!!!! I mean what the fuck was this stupid asshole thinking or is he even capable of thinking?

The fact that this perverted sicko Bowman doesn't "get it" isn't just reprehensible it's just plain disgusting. What a sick bastard and by proxy the American Spectator editorial board must be composed of degenerate and depraved bastards who should have no part in American political life for endorsing such a twisted and evil article.

If I was a partisan white conservative southerner I'd tell this sick fuck to get lost.

I have to say I'm impressed with their ability to make everything about their victimization. A film depicting the real-life events in the life of a slave and who is the victim? White dudes.

So you knew the flying monkeys were fake the first time you saw The Wizard of Oz?

I'll take that bet.

Getting back to the thread, here is some very good reading about life as a slave from real people that lived it....


"Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from Interviews with Former Slaves," offers a sobering look at life after slavery, including 500 black-and-white photographs.

Voices and Faces from the Collection

This ain't Hollywood, this ain't fiction, and it is worth the time to read ....

"12 Years a Slave" wasn't a work of fiction.

And it's a movie about a personal story. I never heard anyone say that it's supposed to give a full, comprehensive overview of slavery.

[maineman]

so before we leave... is it fair to say that you think that 12 years a slave is as stylized a version of reality as a 007 movie?
