As for Red Tails it’s in the same vein as the old Victor and Commando comics, historically accurate to a point but also there to provide light entertainment.
The real problem is that too many people do not have sufficient historical awareness to differentiate between solid fact and fiction, hybrid films just confuse them even more.

That’s my point. It bad enough Hollywood/Pinewood/Bollywood, etc has b@stardized history for the last 100 years..but to have it intentionally done as a “feel good” lesson in race history, I find a bit disconcerning.

Stephen, I don’t disagree with the goals of the program you’re involved with, but I’m not sure stretching the facts is the way to do it.
Yes, fatherless black boys need role models, but I’m not sure having a generation thinking the Tuskegee airmen were the super-group of WWII aviation is the way to do it.
