These days it's so hard to please anyone; take, for example, recent
Hollywood slaughterfest
The Patriot. First the Brits got all
uppity about being portrayed as the original Nazis (which, granted, is
quite a leap from the usual "effete, cowardly, villainous aristocrat"
stereotype), and now Black nationalist director Spike Lee (of Malcolm X
fame) condemns it for, not unexpectedly,
whitewashing the issue of slavery.
