With Amistad, Steven Spielberg, hailed as a latter-day secular Jewish saint, has set the cause of harmonious race relations back decades. His stratagem in that flick was to demonize the German people but to do so within the framework of a humanist gloss. So the putative hero, Schindler, is a German and nominally, a Christian. Amistad is equally pathological.
Sadistic whites torture noble blacks.
Noble blacks retaliate, and we watch them dismember trembling and quivering white villains who are shown on their knees begging for mercy. An honest film about slavery is needed, but Spielberg will never be the one to furnish it. The survivors of this terrible ordeal were sold to the Europeans. Cameras wouild detail the horrors of the white on white slave trade emanating from Britain. The very word kidnapping has its origin in this white enslavement.
