Well it got Oscars, I find that impressive.

Liberaldom still holds to the notion from the 1960's, namely that they don't want their sister to marry a black man.

Just look at football player Robert Griffin. When he married a white girl, suddenly he came under attack from liberals.

Well, you brought up a violent film but were far more traumatized by the sex. I was far more traumatized by the Violence. Sex doesn't bother me and I'm not going to be shamed by it. Makes no sense. You can consider sex not wholesome and think that its something to hide, but I'm not going to. The Catholic Church and others tried that shaming crap, all the while trying to hide true perverts.

Of course I won't. I have no reasons to. He only needs to know I love him and he is one beautiful boy. Plus, My nephew is only four years old.

How do you know I was far more traumatized by the sex than the violence? Why are you making these comparisons and then assigning them to me? It's okay if you like watching sex in film, I don't. That's what the subject is about, sex in film.

Good for him. She's alight and he's no slouch himself. I'm surprised his mom presented it so well for someone of an older generation. Not being defined by race or at least being comfortable with embracing all of who you are is getting to be more common these days, even though it freaks some people out. Poor Tiger Woods was verbally assaulted for years by the media when he described himself as something other than 100 % black.

Same thing I thought but replace "rauncny sex scenes" with "discusting scenes of violence".

Only in America (and Saudi Arabia) is something as good and wholesome as sex be seen as something worse than killing and murdering
I was just about to say that.

That lady Murders a man in cold blood in this film but the sex is what set them off ???

Sorry, I just extroplated out my own thoughts about the hypocracy of the film industry with respect to violence.

Thats not what happened as it has been discussed over and over again, we had like 6 threads on it to boot.

The argument was over favoritism by those who are conservative, not simply him dating a white girl.

No one cares that he is dating/ married a white girl. It is because you believe him to be a republican and hold everything about his life to some high regard that he because a scapegoat for the greater argument of conservative favoritism of "their blacks".
