    Absolutely, so what is going on today is just as bad as that is what you are saying then? Bold statement. I can't quite agree, but racism is racism and it's still wrong even if it's socially acceptable racism.

    This one tick worse than making all the bad guys in movies white nationalists instead of socialist/arabic terrorists like The Sum of All Fears did. It makes the leap from bland, similar and boring to unwatchable. You have to give hollywood a pass for movies like White House Down but this not so much.

    No, because if everyone had seen it then there wouldn't be calls for this being "Racism". (Realize how the movie came out in 2014...no calls for boycotts then...)

    Instead, you have conservatives calling something racist without knowing what it is even about. If they had known then they would realize that the race being criticized the most in the film were black people...but people get triggered and respond how they will respond I guess.

    what I meant should have been very clear. The statement I made was hardly esoteric. Perhaps you should try re-reading it.

    it doesn't matter if you dislike a particular Netflix offering, what matters is whether there is something you do like

    that's the beauty of an on demand streaming library, a show doesn't need a big audience, it just needs to capture a niche that adds to the overall subscriber base

    That being said, knowing Hollywood, I doubt Netflix would adhere to this view when it comes to a right-leaning show. They would reject it even if it captures an additional audience, because it offends the sensibilities of the executives.

    Actually what YOU are doing is trying to pigeonhole anyone who doesn't follow your myopic beliefs.

    I'm just wondering what is socially acceptable these days.

    Is kosher okay or is can only Jews say it? Is Jews offensive?
    Can we call people by the color of their skin? Is white people, black people, colored people, yellow people okay?

    I'm not trying to be facetious or anything. I'm honestly questioning. I'm not into PC but sometimes it's easier to be to avoid triggering people.

    I saw another jackass say that there are 20,000 FB accounts that identify as essentially racist. Sounds appalling until you know that there are 1.86 billion accounts, which equates to 1 **** racist page per 100,000 other accounts.

    I hate shitheads.

    Every military, cop and cowboy movie is right leaning, and has been so long enough that alot of conservatives views are shaped by that rather than any labored reading of Buckley, Kristol or Buchanan. Every romantic comedy and period piece reinforces traditional mores. You seem to be looking for Rehnquist's Brown dissent or a Hayek abstract in screenplay form.

    Finally, something a Trump supporter* can be mad about! I'm sure they've been feeling left out the past few weeks while others have been upset about actual important stuff that has happened since Trump took office. Thankfully now they have this to tip the scales a little bit.

    *not referring to anyone in this forum, as we all know no one here voted for Trump
