Sandra Bullock’s New Film The Blind Side Promotes Misandry, Paternalism, & Racism!!!

Sandra Bullock’s new movie, The Blind Side, is so offensive and racist on multiple levels. First, yes I know the movie the Blind Side is based on a true story of a football player Michael Oher. Just because the movie is based on a true story doesn’t mean it isn’t racist!  Hollywood promotes the racist magic negro stereotype. The Tuophys recognize that the black teen can play football because he is big, black, stupid, and male. Black men are forced into these racist and misandrist barriers.

However, the black male teen character in this movie is constructed as a monster and a brute that must be tamed. Sandra Bullock’s movie is certainly geared towards a white, liberal, heterosexual, audience. The film is about making white liberals “feel good” about helping poor blacks. The Blind Side is about reinforcing white superiority and it will be a hit at the box office.

The Blind Side reeks of paternalism and white supremacy.  The film constructs the black male character as a beast he is a big, black, stupid, uneducated, male. The black male must obey his white master Sandra Bullock’s character. Bullock’s character is the white saviour in the film, she is the real hero of the movie. The film will make some white liberals feel great about helping out those poor unfortunate black folks. Of course, this movie will not examine or explore the interlocking systems of oppression that are deleterious for the black poor in America.

Where are the movies about young black men wanting to become writers, scientists, doctors, lawyers, teachers? Once again, another Hollywood racist film presenting the racist stereotype that young black men only have aspirations to become professional athletes.

I Have Decided To Enter Some Poetry Contests That Charge Entry Fees

I am  entering  a couple of poetry contests that charge  entry fees. I will be selective, I will not enter any poetry contests that charge more than $25 dollars. However, the more opportunities I have the more windows I have for future publication.  I feel the entry fees are just a way for publishers to generate revenue.
