Lee Daniels' The Butler is NOT BLACK HISTORY! IT’S WHITE SUPREMACY

Some say we need movies like the Butler and The Help because we need to teach the Black kids of today their history.

I’m sorry, I don't agree with that argument.

Movies like TheButler and The Help are whitewashed, revisionist tales created by White Liberals and Hankerchief head Negroes to make White people feel comfortable about the position of Black people in society. When they watch these movies and see po’ miserable Black folks at the BOTTOM of society, it makes them feel secure about their place on top in White Supremacist AmeriKKKa.

I consider it child abuse to let a Black child watch movies like The Butler, The Help, or Precious. These movies don’t teach Black history. They teach White Supremacy. In between the lines of these movies is a destructive message that a Black person cannot achieve any type of success in AmeriKKKa without the support and favor of a “great White Savior” who approves of them.

If anything, these movies promote the idea that White people are Black People’s Gods. And if Good little niggers know their place they’ll receive a reward from their White Jesus for not challenging White Supremacy.

Worse, they are filled with historical inaccuracies and re-written in such a way to make white people appear to be superior. Did you know that the Butler in Lee Daniels movie was never a butler in real life, but a manager? Did you know that his wife wasn’t a drunk? No, Lee Daniels re-wrote the story of “the Butler” to fit the narrative of the White Liberals and Black Hankerchief heads like Oprah Winfrey he was pandering to in order to present an image of Black people they felt comfortable with.

In their eyes Black people can only be seen in film as shuffling servants, whorish jezebels, sexually depraved brutes or other old racist stereotypes repackaged in brand new boxes. And because White Liberals put their pet Negroes like Oprah Winfrey up in front of these dehumanizing images to sell them, Black folks and White folks buy into them not knowing they’ve just been spoonfed rat poision.

I would NEVER let a child watch such films because they do not present an accurate reflection of African-American history. If anything, these images are nothing but poison to a young Black mind.

Some also justify movies like the Butler saying that we need to hear about the bad parts of Black history.

Again, that argument does not wash with me.

All White Liberal Hollywood presents are the negative parts of Black history. All we’ve gotten from Hollywood since its inception are stories about shuffling servants, slaves, downtrodden Negroes, Whorish Black bitches, Jivetime Niggers and other bottom-feeders of the Black community. Outside of a short period from 1971-2000, we haven’t seen many positive images of Black people in AmeriKKKan media.

Just like Hollywood can focus on the worst parts of Black history, they can focus on the best parts of it. But Hollywood only focuses on the worst parts of Black life because it fits the patronizing narrative of the White liberal and makes White moviegoers feel comfortable about the low position of society.

And just like we have movies about butlers and maids, why don’t we have movies about our great inventors like Dr. Charles Richard Drew and George Washington Carver? Why don’t we have movies about our great Black diplomats like Ralph Bunche? Why don’t we have a movie about Black Wall Street or a Black town? Why don’t we have a movie about our great educators like Ida B. Wells or Mary McLeod Bethune? Why is there no movie about Matthew Henson the great Black explorer or Shirley Chisolm, the first Black woman to get elected to Congress? Why are there next to no stories about the Black middle class? Why not a story about a Black family dealing with Affirmative action, or Busing in the 1970’s?

All those stories would make fascinating and entertaining movies, but Hollywood won’t make them. Why?

Because the White Liberal is uncomfortable about presenting images of Black empowerment. Those images would make many uncomfortable about competing with Black people.

Others say we need movies like The Butler because schools don’t teach Black history.

And again, that argument does not wash with me.

I’m sorry Black folks but that’s not your local public schools’ job to teach Black children Black history. No, brothers and sisters, It’s our job to teach our children Black history. It’s our job to go out and get the books, the magazines and the movies and teach our kids Black history. That’s how I learned Black history growing up and that’s how your kids should learn Black history. There are a ton of resources out there including Wikipedia and YouTube videos that will give a young brotha or a sister a TRUE chronicle of Black history. We just choose not to take advantage of those tools.

No, we just keep waiting for White People to tell us about ourselves instead of showing them who we really are.

I feel bad for the brothers and sisters growing up today with films like The Butler, The Help, and self-hating filmmakers like Lee Daniels, Tyler Perry and Shondra Rhimes. Instead of growing up with images that will inspire them and give them a sense of pride like I did, they’re growing up with images of Black people that degrade and insult us. What most Black people don’t understand is that if you watch too many movies featuring Black people as maids and butlers as children is that when those Black children grow up they only aspire to become maids and butlers, instead of becoming doctors, lawyers, scientists, and engineers like their ancestors were.
