Hidden Figures : Why are white people so threatened by this movie?

The movie is for everyone not just black people or black women. Yes, the movie is set around a time when racism was very high but to me it was more about women not being appreciated for all their hardwork back in the day rather black or white than just another stick it to white people movie. All the hate this movie is getting is ridiculous.

Only the uneducated white people feel threatened. Most think it is a great film.

White people are not threatened by this afterschool special of a movie.

Yet people like you keep coming back again and again and again, for weeks on end, to try and diminish it. That tends to sound pretty much like the definition of someone either threatened or else insane.





No man lies so boldly as the man who is indignant.

Happy Senior still trolling this thread with about 100 comments about your racism. You and your kind took IMDB message board down. Back to stormfront.org for you.

Abstract

White people in North America live in a social environment that protects and insulates them from race-based stress. This insulated environment of racial protection builds white expectations for racial comfort while at the same time lowering the ability to tolerate racial stress, leading to what I refer to as White Fragility. White Fragility is a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include the outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress-inducing situation. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium. This paper explicates the dynamics of White Fragility.
