Retired NFL star Michael Oher, whose supposed adoption out of grinding poverty by a wealthy, white family was immortalized in the 2009 movie “The Blind Side,” petitioned a Tennessee court Monday with allegations that a central element of the story was a lie concocted by the family to enrich itself at his expense.
The movie is a gross portrayal of several negative stereotypes surrounds black Americans.
Other than white guilt I do not see where the nominations or love for this story could come otherwise originate.
