re: "Hidden Figures" cannot be historically accurate

I would say the thread beginning on the concept that it was factually impossible for black women in the 1950's and 1960's to play a critical role in the space program is pretty fricking racist.

Toss on the overblown nitpicking of typical Hollywood "based on a true story" stuff because SJWs blah blah blah

That post on the front page belittling what they did.

Refusing to acknowledge the challenges they faced in segregated schools.

Yeah the thread does kind of shite on these black women.

So you've determined that the OP is racist. Could it possibly be intellectual curiosity? Can there be honest intellectual curiosity when race is involved?

Hollywood is a liberal echo chamber. They did that to themselves.

What is belittling is that the question is so honest. In today's world- blacks are good, whites are bad. I think it is relevant to the story and this thread that they made up a racist character so that there would be one. Perhaps that is where some of the cynicism comes from? Maybe?

Can you guys that have a problem with this movie link me to the post where you were outraged about exaggerations in "based on true story" movies about white men? I'll wait...

I can't remember a movie that was based on "white men" other than "white men can't jump", can you? At least none of the movies i watch focus on the race of the characters. List me some that do, that are based on actual events, and if i've watched them, i'll give you my review and the fact vs. fiction of hollywood.

It's sad that you believe everything from movies that are "based on actual events". I suppose you believe that means every moment of those movies are true. Next time you see any movie that states "based on a true story" look up the actual true story first. You might learn that your idols in California sensationalize and blatantly makeup 95% of most of those movies to give more flare or drama to the real story. Take these movies with a grain of salt, and your sanity may be restored.

Big Scrub will be here soon to let you know how racist you are....

I beg to differ-

Then what is the point? Because the victim complex of this bord seems massive from my perspective.

Sure there can be. However this question largely can be answered by a simple google search. Second a honestly curious inquiry doesn't usually start with the thing you are curious about being "factually impossible."

Then correct him. Don't assume he's a racist. That is a gross generalization, which is another liberal sin.

Please don't collapse under the weight of that cross. White people, myself included, are doing just fine.

I'm doing just fine as well. But please don't insult me by pretending race issues are discussed openly and fairly. This thread being evidence.

In what way? The large majority of Hollywood movies still have white males as the protagonist.

I'm not sure where all of this victimhood is coming from.

Do you really find the skepticism that hard to believe nowadays?

I'll give you my first impressions of seeing the trailer for the movie and why.

I saw the trailer and thought "great, here comes another "all of the great accomplishments of the American citizen really should be attributed to black people" type of movie. I thought this due to Hollywoods obvious leftist slant and the new trend of hating white people simply because they are white, and that being perpetuated by the media nowadays. See black lives matter, "white privilege", and the director of "the butler" admitting that he made up "facts" about the movie to paint what HE sees as reality nowadays, not based on what factually happen, etc... for real time examples.
So i see this movie and i think, "while i'm sure there is some truth to this movie, i'm willing to bet most of it is made up to promote an agenda. I am not wrong for thinking that. So i did look up the fact vs. fiction, and to my surprise, there were some good factual points in the movie. I actually had no idea that women made up a vital segment in the beginnings of space exploration, and due to the times and hearing zero about it growing up, that especially black women had roles as "computers" pre-machine based computers. WHat i learned was interesting and impressive, and speaks more to hard working individuals more focused on working hard and providing for their family than they did about race implications despite the times they lived in. It really is a wonderful true story. However, as i pointed out in the fact vs. fiction of the movie, there was some typical hollywood exaggerations to sensationalize the racial component.

So i 100% understand anyone doubting hollywood's attention to authenticity on any "based on a true story" movie. They have trouble keeping to movies about fictional stories based on books. Why would anyone think they wouldn't fudge a true story?
