I love how this just blatantly accepts the premise that cops are racist.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 1 points 3 years ago

It's like that movie Crash, racist cops don't mean to be racist, they just need a personal tragedy to help them overcome their previous bigotry

Just like how Sandra Bullock found out her real friend was her maid the whole time

Sandra Bullock also won the Oscar for 'The Blindside' in which she plays a rich white lady who steals a black kid from his mom.

We had to watch that shit on rainy days at school and even dumb sheltered kid me was like "this seems really racist and condescending"

Crash also taught us that if a racist cop SAs a black woman, it all balances out if he saves her life later

We were shown that movie, with that scene in full, in high school and frankly I memory holed that so hard I had to double check to make sure it was the right scene I was thinking about. I don't even remember the tertiary reason we started watching it back then and I don't remember any of the plot, but that scene has stood out to me for well over a decade.

Do you not remember that happening in Crash?

[-] Bloobish@hexbear.net 1 points 3 years ago

Never watched Crash, more amazed that a film decided that was a good plot point and wasn't shamed for it.

[-] Orannis62@hexbear.net 1 points 3 years ago

Not just not shamed, it won the Oscar for Best Picture lmao

Crash as a whole was a libshit "we're all humans man, we're more similar than we are different, and that means I can be racist" kind of thing, it's really really bad in a way that's honestly pretty illuminating when you consider how liberal hollywood LOVED it

[-] Bloobish@hexbear.net 1 points 3 years ago

Jesus I remember the phase of liberalism in hollywood in which it started with the "everyone's a little bit racist and that's okay" and then also went into the "better to not see someone by their color" colorblindness propaganda shit.
