So, Star Wars VII will obviously be promoting "white genocide"...

http://www.mediaite.com/online/some-want-to-boycottstarwarsvii-because-its-anti-white-propaganda/

The three main-characters are a caucasian female, a black male and a latino male. Which can only mean one thing... the evil empire of diversity and political correctness is coming for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Non-white people in Star Wars is a break from the canon, which can only mean that evil is afoot.





Just a few months ago, some people freaked out because "Mad Max" had a strong female lead. Which could only mean that "Mad Max" was all about emasculation and misanthropy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Non-powerless women in Mad Max is a break from the canon, which can only mean that evil is afoot.

Seriously I've been seeing this shit pop up in several unexpected avenues and it mystifies me.

The Census estimates that People of Color will be the majority in the U.S. in 2043. I guess "End Cultural Marxism" will pack his bags and move somewhere whiter.

Everyone just went through it with stonewall. Truth got a little controversy for not enough commercials and mad max before. Earlier in the year fantastic four and American sniper. We are a country that will analyze a great many films thought the year.

I have been recommending an alternative LGBT political film from the UK called 'Pride' which is more fun, less well known and for people who support Unions and LGBT all at the same time it's a very good use of time. Great cast.
"PRIDE is inspired by an extraordinary true story. It’s the summer of 1984, Margaret Thatcher is in power and the National Union of Mineworkers is on strike, prompting a London-based group of gay and lesbian activists to raise money to support the strikers’ families. Initially rebuffed by the Union, the group identifies a tiny mining village in Wales and sets off to make their donation in person. As the strike drags on, the two groups discover that standing together makes for the strongest union of all."

of great power, power over men, power over many. Female power both righteous and corrupt has in fact been a part of the ethos of those films for a long, long time. So anyone who thinks that's a break from the 'canon', Virgina Hey got started at 'Warrior Woman' in part two. Tina Turner was 'Aunty Entity' the unquestioned ruler of Barter Town in part 3 and Max is rescued (hero rescued) by Savannah Nix a young woman who is leader of a small group of young survivors, whom at the end she leads forward to hopefully a better life.

So anyone who thinks 'non powerless women' are a break from the Mad Max narrative has not been paying any attention to the movies at all. Which is not surprising for a bunch of bigoted sexists.

it was an excellent action movie, but I don't really recall being hit over the head with the Radical Feminist Agenda when I saw the movie, either. Sure, Charlize Theron played a great character, but helping an evil and tyrannical warlord's harem of slave girls escape isn't exactly groundbreakingly feminist, either.

at least that seems to be the consensus among this crowd. The white Jewish director obviously wants white genocide.

A wise Jedi once warned, “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” Ahead of tonight’s debut of the new Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens trailer, it also led to a flurry of racist tweets fueled by the #BoycottStarWarsVII hashtag warning that the new Star Wars movie promotes “white genocide” and was made “to demoralize and destroy Whites.”

Somewhere in a galaxy far, far away, shaking his damn head, Yoda is.

Laughably enough, the racist, misogynistic, and anti-Semitic crusaders of the #BoycottStarWarsVII movement completely miss the point of every lesson ever built into the Star Wars franchise.

The white Stormtroopers were killed by a Feminazi, a criminal with a brown-ish business-partner and a pagan!

Bigots in Twitter went ballistic over one of the characters (Rue) being cast as black. Those "true fans" were upset over the character being changed.... only problem was those "true fans" were not only bigots, they didn't pay attention to the book either... because the character was described as having "dark brown skin" in the book.
