Fuck "The Help" I understand why folks like it (white women in particular) but like Azealia Banks I'm tired of the majority of movies about black people being struggle movies. It's like the entertainment industry only wants to portray black people as being inferior or somehow subservient to whites. Never mind the movie is basically this white woman being propped up by black women-- where are the movies about black women being propped up by white women? And seriously-- a "shit pie" is how one of the maids gets her "revenge" I felt that was the most juvenile approach to character retribution possible.
At any rate I think if anything we are all becoming a bit desensitized to it. We get all worked up, walk around, shout, and then go back to our lives until something else happens.
