Liberal columnists pounced on bombshell claims by former NFL player Michael Oher to attack 'The Blind Side,' calling the inspirational film 'even more fake than before.'
a professor of Sociology at Wesleyan University, wrote off the film in a MSNBC column as"typical Hollywood White savior nonsense, that unsurprisingly made hundreds of millions of dollars."
"It excites a White imagination that longs for contact with the Black other and simultaneously fears that contact," the sociology professor wrote. The sociologist also criticized the film for how warmly the Tuohys treated Oher, calling this kind of"racial harmony" a"fantasy."
