[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh god, the whole freaking movie was racist IMO. "The Help" was a freaking white woman. Ugh. Does no one see how awful this book was? The whole thing makes me so uncomfortable. The way that everyone was patting themselves on the back for giving Octavia Spencer the Oscar was so cringe-inducing...the standing ovation...when really they were just applauding themselves for being magnanimous enough to give a black woman an Oscar. Ick ick ick. I am not the only person who feels this way, am I?[/quote] No you aren't. I am conflicted. The focus of the movie makes the white woman the hero. I cringed. It was like I was reliving the horror of "Ridin' Miss Daisy " all over again. Our culture is really most comfortable with de-sexualized black women who can cook some good fried chicken. I am a northern white woman, btw.[/quote]
