    Default AVATAR IS RACIST!

    ... or so certain people or a certain skin color are saying....

    "A new Associated Press article lays out the arguments for and against the notion that 'Avatar' is racist. (Warning: Spoilers follow.) The Na'vi may be tall, blue aliens, but they seem to resemble the noble savages in older Hollywood movies -- they're played by actors of color (from Dominican/Puerto Rican Zoë Saldana to Cherokee Wes Studi), they live a primitive (by Western industrial standards) lifestyle in harmony with nature, they sport tattoos and dreadlocks and exotic jewelry, they have a closed and tight-knit society that's suspicious of outsiders, they have an animist religion that worships gods and spirits residing in trees and animals, and they have courage and athleticism but not necessarily rationality or ambition. "

    Theres a stupid youtube video from a critic near the middle of the page where he says that the tall blue aliens represent black people like NBA players. Seriously? Come on now. Its a fucking movie.

    I saw the movie and loved it.. The "angry black man" review had nothing but a early 20's black guy saying "all black people are tall, and so are the blue people. That's why it's racist"

    I see the angry black man being the racist. He thinks everyone that plays basketball is black, no one but black people have big noses,


    in conclusion, only racist people with half a brain would think this is a racist movie.

    if you lived in a place with floating mountains and kickass trees and plants all over the place, you'd want to protect it, too. Right?

    This movie was awesome. I heard the racist thing too. Totally B.S. People have to find ways to complain about everything.

    Its amazing to see white dudes use a whole thread to whine about racism. Just the fact that its posted gives it some legitimacy, if its not racism to you then who cares? Do what you do and go about your day. Every person that cries racism doesn't require a response.

    I think that comment alone is a little racist. How do you know everyone on this board is white? You don't there are not pictures. But obviously there was an article posted saying the movie was racist, it's not racist to see that and disagree. The fact that they posted it doesn't give it legitimacy, it was posted to show absurdity.

    Who made Al Sharpton the spokesperson for black people? Newsflash, he is not our modern day Martin Luther King Jr.

    My statement if anything is presumptuous, nothing about it said I feel blacks are superior to anyone else. Personally if someone finds a theatrical adaption that offensive and they are the only one who feels that way, they're looking for attention.

    I can bench press 673 lbs.

    I posted that... so you know, that means its legitimate.

    If theres anyone in this thread that sounds a tad bit racist, it would be you. I am the OP of this thread and I posted it for the same reason anyone posts anything. Why? Because this is a forum. You know, where the point is to post stuff. Its not rocket science.

    Carry on all you "white" people that may or may not be offended by the ridiculous opinion of a Hollywood movie from a black man.

    When I was watching that movie, all I was thinking was Indians vs Europeans. Europeans taking over Indian lands, than calling it USA.
