The real “blind side”
Haven’t a thing against Austinite actress Sandra Bullock’s winning an Oscar for playing a rich, religious, patriotic Southern white lady who befriends and helps a poor, homeless black kid become an NFL lineman.
How much more worth seeing the movie would be, however, if her character was a rich, religious, patriotic Southern (yes!) black lady who befriended and helped a poor, homeless white kid become a point guard in the NBA. That one I’d go see. This other, not likely, thanks.

Oh, she could play it in blackface. Heh. But a real black actress would be better. The NBA, however, stands for National Basketball Association. The real movie is about football. My ideal one about basketball. And us white folks is gettin’ betta’ at competin’ all de time.

Where are all the white point guards, anyway? We have actual Caucasian types on our local NBA team, and they all play the four or the five.

That’s why we need an inspiring movie: to turn this situation around.

[...] so many hits for the above string of search terms (apparently because Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock lives in Texas, at least part of the time) I thought the least I could do was provide something. [...]

Two issues with your plan: first, Sandra B. could hardly play a black lady and b) white people are not that outstanding in football – I mean the American variety.
But I agree on not seeing that tearjerker…
