ever notice people that yell racist do not mention their own culture in Africa tribal leaders enslaved their own people but they conveniently leave those facts out.

"So your condemning a movie's contents of which you haven't seen and are now pledging to not see what you suspect offends you? That's stupid and intellectually lazy. By the way do you know what context is? Because in Avatar colonization is depicted as a bad thing. But you wouldn't know that because you seem to like to draw your conclusions before having any evidence''

yea pretty much.

This is asinine. The message of the film is in total support of your incredibly misguided complaints of it. You're allowed to make a film about something without supporting it. This film is critical of colonialism.

Here's the illuminati plot of the movie: Pandora is planet earth. The Navi are the Native Americans. The Navi live in peace, love, and harmony. The Native Americans also lived in love, peace, and harmony. Native Americans are the central point of the movie! These is sublime racism brother. Peace, Shalom.

The only racists are the people that look for racism everywhere. It's pathetic how often society tries to play the race card. Honestly, who thinks this way? It's pathetic.

whats not to understand it is a fact African tribal leaders sold their own people first to the conquistadors then to British because they did not want to be conquered. You stated in the video about African Americans being thrown off their land,so again why doesn't it make sense.

@johndebbra This doesn't make any sense

Maybe because they are still a disenfranchised people in the after wake of a 250 year period of chattel slavery and 100 more years of formalized racism, and who are need of some sort linguistic recognition and cultural formation. Where else are they supposed to form an unifying identity other than their own fucking ancestral history, dickhole. Just because your specific cultural formation doesn't involve your ancestry, doesn't mean all people shouldn't form communities as such.
