[quote=Anonymous]I just saw the trailer for Reese Witherspoon's new movie "The Good Lie" and it made me think of "The Blind Side" and Brad Pitt in "12 Years a Slave" and then it got me thinking - why does America love movies where some pretty white man or woman comes to the rescue of weak, unprivileged black character(s). They're like feel good movies about saving a helpless puppy or something. I am a white woman by the way and I can't help but feel that if I were black this would get on my nerves (hell I am white and it does get on my nerves). Am I the only one that thinks this way? Google found an interesting article on the same topic FWIW: http://www.salon.com/2013/02/21/oscar_loves_a_white_savior/ [/quote]
