I saw the movie "Percy Jackson and dem" (I refuse to reference it by its real name...it's long and I like my title better).
The black man in the movie is half a goat and eats trash. He is also sex-crazed and his sole mission in life is to protect a white man, for which he only does a mediocre job.
"Enlightened" black people were mad when "Precious" came out because they felt that it, once again, showed black people in a negative light. In fact, they were even mad at the Jar Jar Binks character from the Star Wars movie franchise because they thought that it was a supposed to represent a stereotypical black person (I don't know about you, but that one was a stretch for me).
Now, I can only speak for myself, but I find this goat-creature/black man uncle tom-ing it (his facial expressions are what killed me), eating trash and being inept at his job more upsetting than the story of a girl with a crappy up-bringing.
Am I making a mountain over a mole hill? Most likely, but isn't most of our news based on making something out of absolutely nothing?
For instance, Tiger Woods hittin ever ugly, used up tramp he came across...why is that news and why is anyone taking the time to interview these hoes? It's not like one of them is the CEO of a major company or the wife of a king of a foreign nation. I doubt if any one of them got past junior college, but for whatever reason, having Tiger apologize to the nation for cheating on his wife is supposed to be news.
Anyway, the movie was ok, and the black man/goat-thingy (Satyr, if I'm not mistaken) wasn't that bad, but I did have to look at him sideways a few times because he really was putting Uncle Tom to shame. I was just waiting for a "yes'm bawse" to come flying out his mouth at some point.
