Don't Go See The Butler, It is MOSTLY LIES!

Now I love a good movie especially when it is based on real life events. Sometimes those are more interesting than the completely fictional Hollywood movies. However, in this case, The Butler which was purported to be based on the life of Eugene Allen, who worked as a butler in the White House under several presidents. The only true life fact is just that, he was a butler and worked in the White House for 34 years. Every thing else in the movie is 100 % FICTION! He was married, but NOT to an alcoholic wife. He did have a son, but his son was NOT a militant criminal type. Eugene did quit being a butler, but did not quit because of a dispute with President Regan over apartheid. Personally, I think working at the White House under all of those Presidents is a good enough story to tell. Albeit a little boring, you can only tell so many funny anecdotes about Presidential late night snacks of tuna on whole wheat with pickles , yellow onions and peanut butter. hahahaha So I will NOT be going to see this movie. It is a bunch of bullshit! I think I am just tired of seeing black people being serving rude ass white people. And suffering daily indignities at the hands of their racist employers.
