Sandra Bullock: MTV Award Despite Shortsighted 'Blind Side'

Let me get this straight. This movie doesn't merit viewing because it just tells one true story and not multiple true stories containing racial equality for beneficiaries? So I shouldn't have watched Roots because it just told a true story from the perspective of one race, but not from the perspective of many tortured and exploited races? But wait, I also watched the Holocaust, that covers whites and Jews, so am I good or do I also need to watch a movie about Asians, Hispanics and Indians being tortured? When selecting a movie, do I also need to do a complete story check and research the possible stories that will help me maintain proper balance? I think I'll just bypass movies altogether. I probably don't have time since I need to go find an article written by a columnist with a different ethnic background.

Everything these days seem to be a race thing!!!

How unfortunate that black columnists like Judy Ellis and other so called black leaders like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Louis Farakhan always seem to find a way to keep racism and bigotry alive and well in America.
As an over the hill white guy with a Mexican daughter in law, a Black son in law and and 4 of the most beautifull Rainbow grandchildren, anyone would be proud of, I am tired of the daiy ACCUSATIONS from a minority of the black community of how racist or insensitive the white community is.
America will never realize Rev. Martin Luther King's dream of a country that judges a person on the content of their character until people like the above writer stop seeing all things as black vs. white.
Most Americans today are color blind and would only see other Americans if they were not reminded, on a daily basis, of the so called plight of blacks as in the above article.
I certainly hope this post will not be censored as an attack. It is my considered opinion as a man that lives and loves in a family of conservative Americans that happen to be of three different races.
I saw the Blind Side and never saw color. I saw a well acted and poignant story of love and determination.

The film is a re-telling of a true story. Race has nothing to do with it. Get over yourself and be happy that talented people chose to portray a story of courage and accomplishment. If you had taken a look at the film, you would see that the courage and accomplishment was achieved by both characters, not just the kid. That was the point: we all learn and grow from experiences like this. The absurdity of critics like this is appalling.

While I understand where Ms Ellis is coming from isn't this particular movie based on a true story? Michael Oher is black, isn't he? I think this is a classic example of oversensitivity and shows just how out of control the whole "politically correct" thing has gotten. Why can't we just see this as a heartwarming story instead of something to get offended over?
