I'm really glad that Hollywood invents tales of whites horribly oppressing blacks. We need more of these films in order to create a more harmonious society.
Also it's great when they embrace historical revisionism to distort or outright lie about the accomplishments of people who happen to be minorities.

physicist here; let me add to this. these women were smart but not extraordinary. the calculations they were doing were tedious and difficult but nothing groundbreaking. they were just applying known methods to solve a well-defined problem. we're not talking about solving the Riemann hypothesis here, it's just basically the same shit as what your CPU does when playing Kerbal space program but done manually with slide rules.
the movie is a work of propagandistic fiction designed for idiots who don't know math and don't care about math. how many black kids will actually get interested in math or science from this? they just wanna see a black person stick it to whitey.
>>80165547
These black women literally invented a brand new area of mathematics. :^)

But to understand it, you have to understand the plan. (picrelated)
Of course I expect this thread to be deleted in short order now. You see... truth is not allowed on tv.

Yeap they were human computers, which were pretty common back when what we now call computers were rare. People employed to do regular calculations all day.

Every time Braveheart is brought up some butthurt English cunts always start up with the not historically accurate talk.

The only people talking about it are retarded anons who want to post "edgy" and "controversial" "LOL NIGGERS" posts, because the movie itself is forgettable and mediocre.
t. saw the movie
Let's be honest about why anons are shitposting instead of playing semantics.
>>80167987
Uh huh.
>who want to post "edgy" and "controversial" "LOL NIGGERS"
Nothing is like that ITT.

Like I said previously, it's both a box office success and awards winner. If you don't like this thread you're free to go elsewhere.

Who gives a shit? Nobody watched this piece of shit.
Im glad white NEETs are so eternally butthurt about these movies that they feel compelled to whine about it on their alt-right hugbox

They might not have built it, but sub-sharan africans did contribute to Egypt.
>>80172047
I'm sure they did. Not to the extent that Afrocentric historical revisionists would have you believe though. Either way the blacks that were brought to the western hemisphere as slaves have no connection to ancient Egypt as they originated from Western Sub Saharan tribes.

Are you going to offer an argument?
When they pulled her out on the stage at the Oscars I could feel the confusion among the people there. They were wondering if this white lady is supposed to be black.
>>80172647
What happened to the one drop rule, you niggerloving fag?
Seriously tho? How is she black exactly?
>>80173584
What about it? I never stated that she lacked black ancestry. She obviously has a significant amount of European ancestry though, which is fairly common among African Americans of historical note.
thosewhocansee.blogspot.com/2012/02/black-history-month.html
What could be the cause of this? Why it's "Colorism" of course! Definitely no other plausible explanation exists!

I wouldn't be surprised if the vast majority of her genetic profile comes from Europe. She's probably 12% black at most.

Right. Whining about actual racism against them on basically the only place left on the internet that doesn't ban them for it. As opposed to whining about imagined slights and not being given things just because of the colour of their skin (like oscarssowhite) on every platform available and having nothing happen to them.
The same platforms that refuse to ban people who call for white genocide.
Yeah, it's totally the same.
This is why the sane people, of all colours, can't have nice things. Because of fucking morons like you.
>>80173929
Go whine about it on your fucking containment board.
No one is saying you can't do it there.
>>80165483
Even the title is ridiculous as it implies there was a deliberate attempt to keep knowledge of these women from the general public.
>>80174020
>Go (to) your fucking containment board.

"Fuck white people", right?
Whenever I see the criticism that the women in this movie weren't really black, it's always shows the picture of Katherine Johnson, who's just a really light-skinned black person. They don't show the two other women. Why is that?
>>80175287
>Whenever I see the criticism that the women in this movie weren't really black
No one claimed that.
>it's always shows the picture of Katherine Johnson, who's just a really light-skinned black person. They don't show the two other women. Why is that?
It might have something to do with Katherine Johnson being the main character of the film.
And only the woman on the right of your image really looks "black".
The point of the image in the OP and the url it links to is that the narrative of the movie that these women were victims of unrelenting white racism isn't based in reality.
>>80175591
The archive says that the two racist white characters are composites of some of the supervisors at NASA that represent some of the unconscious bias and prejudice of the era. It's not a 100% truthful rendering of the story, but a streamlined story meant for the purpose of entertainment and highlighting these black female mathematicians.
>>80175950
Katherine Johnson has stated she was treated as an equal at her time at NASA. Those "composite" characters are simply the imagination of the writers of the film who made unfounded assumptions of what they thought it would have been like to be black at NASA during that era.
>represent some of the unconscious bias and prejudice of the era
So racist people existed in during that era therefore it was justifiable to lie about what these women experienced. What nonsense.
>>80176083
Again, in the archive in the OP's image, Katherine Jonhson herself said she liked the movie and said it was very accurate. So basically, it's just like any other "based on true events" movies, mostly accurate with some stuffs exaggerated to entertain/educate.
>>80176320
NO! IT'S EVIDENCE OF A LARGER CONSPIRACY AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE! I'M A VICTIM! VALIDATE ME! SOMEONE GIVE ME ATTENTION!
>>80176320
It wasn't accurate though. The narrative the movie presents is completely false, as is demonstrated in the article you're citing.
>>80176531
>A Hollywood movie based on true events punched up the story a little bit to make it more compelling.
Shocking.
Sure is a white genocide alright..
>>80176602
They were not victims of white racism during their time at NASA. They were treated as equals.
And they didn't single-handedly invent a brand new type of math never seen before to help whitey get to the moon. They were three women who were part of a team of more than 100 people.
>Sure is a white genocide alright..
Woah, nice strawman! You sure got me!
>>80173137
she looks really fucking hungry.
>>80165483
well duuuuuuuh, of course she didnt feel any segregation, because she looks so damn white
literally check your privilege
>>80168983
Yet nobody knows about it
>tfw it's impossible to just say that this film was plain bad because then i end up looking like i'm on the side of you retards
it's literally written and directed by white people and features a bunch of stereotypes patting their hair and going "mmmhmm" to shitty funk music, and the entire plot is about being a good house nigger and explicitly condemns the black panthers, but you people got so mad at it that now it's a symbol of social justice

You can avoid this if you liked 12 Years a Slave or Moonlight.

You mean the "context" of your alt right SJW agenda to claim the movie title says something it doesn't say? You babies really are a cancer on society. You can't have a 75 IQ and have opinions worth sharing. Sorry, it doesn't work that way.
>>>/pol/
>>80168983

>>80179683
Are you aware of the movie's theme, or the marketing surrounding it?
>You babies really are a cancer on society.
You're clearly going into hysterics.
>You can't have a 75 IQ and have opinions worth sharing. Sorry, it doesn't work that way.
That's incredibly racist.
we wuz nasa n sheeit!
The bathrooms were segregated
Women were restricted to the human calculator pool
The black women were kept on a seperate campus

>>80165547
Before the widespread use of computers they had to have humans do the calculations
That is what is depicted in the film
There's no propaganda
You're lying or haven't seen it
>>80180500
Did you even bother to visit the site in the OP's image? The movie is mostly fiction. It's blatant propaganda.
See:
>>80165677
>>80180534
Their job as human calculators is depicted accurately
>>80180568
That was never a point of contention.
>>80180467
She looks exactly the same in both pics.
