Yet they don't seem to make many about the genocide of the Native Americans. 

Sure they do, probably as many as slavery. Plus any movie with a nineteenth century southern setting probably has a touch of slavery, just like most any wild western has a touch of native American.

Ok, name a few.

Last of the dogmen, last of the mohicans, gerenimo, dances with wolves, Squanto, Pocahontas; there's more but those are actual notable box office films. Now you name a few films about slavery.

 

I'l have to watch them to clarify. 

12 years a slave (subtle), Lincoln, Django Unchained, I Am Slave, Belle

Why do they ID people for non-alcoholic beer?

Because it has a small amount of alcohol.  But they can buy all the Nyquil they want.

0.05%, yet I used to buy cans of shandy bass as a child, which is 0.5%. Work that one out lol.

My aunt once sent alone to the store as a kid with a note for the cashier with a list of cigarettes and booze to buy.  Things are different now.

A child can still by shandy bass, but not a non-alcoholic beer.  People must be getting ID'd for the brand.

The color purple is a notable one. It doesn't really matter. There's not really a huge amount of either, but personally view the portrayal of Indian and black history in American fictional movie pop culture to be fairly equal. You may see it as a big difference, and it is different, but one has to consider that Hollywood romanticizes native american history, so thus a lot of americans do too. That's not necessarily true of black history.

There was like 4-5 about black slavery in 2 years.  This was recent.  Hollywood "romanticizes" pretty much everything.  When was the last film about Native American genocide?

Do you move the goal posts of every conversation? Now trying figure out what point you're trying to make. What are we discussing really? Indians sensitivities and offence to any reference to them which stems from white American culture? American media conspiracies to rile up the black public? Your movie is more recent than my movie?

My favorite movie trend over the last few years is zombies.

This is part of his point. He's describing how the Zionist Hollywood agenda decide African Americans are the biggest victims and are never to blame for their actions even when they do wrong. They create a racist hierarchy of the oppressed with Africans at the very top and the other minorities take a back seat to their issues. There haven't been any recent films but Hollywood is never accurate and whitewashes everything anyway.

So then media conspiracy is the topic. Will agree and it's not only movies. Though disagree somewhat about the hierarchy, at least in reality at the level of government action, native Americans are certainly prioritized over blacks as victims, just not in the movies.

Then again, the gopher could be right and it's just trendy, just like in the late eighties and early nineties there was a sudden popularity of black urban setting type movies. Hollywood tends to do whatever is profitable.

That was more of an attempt to sound sensible, but much rather prefer to view the recent influx of black victimization in the media to be conspiratorial. Now thinking about the urban movie and tv trend of the past, and remembering reading/hearing of the black community taking offence to commonly being portrayed in the media as gang banging thugs, and claiming it a media conspiracy. Now wondering if they might benefit from being equally offended by being commonly portrayed as victims.

I'm offended by this thread.
