I mean, yeah, race definitely plays a part in the story. If Michael Oher was any other color besides black would it be a race issue? No, it has nothing to do with race. Like I said or somebody else did with the Lewan comment, you see black and white so it’s racist. If he was Mexican or Puerto Rican we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.

The reasoning does matter if you're alleging it was racially motivated - i.e. if he was homeless Lewan instead of Oher, would they have seized the opportunity to manipulate the situation? If Oher or "homeless Lewan" was just a HS JAG athlete, would they have gone to these lengths to glom on to a meal ticket? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly unlikelier than Oher. The action is the problem regardless of race but racial disparities and stereotypes in the US certainly play into the power dynamics, access, privilege and vulnerability at play in this situation.

That a bit different than the accusations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 There will be official contracts and accounting from the studio behind the movie that show how much money the family made from the movie, so in theory this should be easy for a court to see what’s really going on here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Oher or "homeless Lewan" was just a HS JAG athlete, would they have gone to these lengths to glom on to a meal ticket? I didn't say it was racially motivated. I said it was about privledge and access, which is obvious. The fact it was a young black male being taken advantage of by a wealthy white family means race belongs in the conversation. It isn't about their motivation, which to say the least is unclear seeing as they stole money from him if the allegations are true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
