The movie "The Help" rejuvinates demeaning stereotypes of African Americans while depicting white people as their rescuers. "The Help", a novel originally published in 2009 is degrading and is not an accurate portrayal of the African American experience...Please sign this petition to boycott this film: whose only intent is to further demean African American people and promote white supremacy. Movies such as this are how offensive doctrines are circulated about African American culture!

Finally someone said it. Tired of seeing these scripts play out like its 1950. Hollywood needs to stop profiting off these outdated tropes.
