Murphy declares his affection for the Rev. Louis Farrakhan.<\/p>\n<p>Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who plays Hill\u2019s Jewish mother, offers a stinging retort after hearing of the patriarch\u2019s affection for the Black Muslim leader:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m familiar with what he said about the Jews,\u201d She snaps.<\/p>\n<p>This spiritual leader is loved by many and recognized by most as a fierce anti-Semite. It\u2019s hardly up for debate, given what he\u2019s said over the years. Here are the facts: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adl.org\/resources\/backgrounder\/farrakhan-his-own-words\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">courtesy of the Anti-Defamation League:<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cDo you know that many of us who go to Hollywood seeking a chance, we have to submit to anal sex and all kids of debauchery, and they give you a little part?

It\u2019s part of a long-standing trend of Farrakhan comments, and it should make audiences wary of Murphy\u2019s character. Yet we know it\u2019s still Eddie Murphy on screen, and for all his flaws we expect he\u2019ll come to embrace Hill\u2019s character by the third act.<\/p>\n<p>However, they are all woke minds. A subset of them includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/jonah-hill-superbad-toxic-masculinity\/\">Hill<\/a> Barris and Barris are notorious for rejecting certain traits and beatings because they have a problematic nature.

He\u2019d be better served by both acknowledging that reality and writing movies that reflect reality, not an imagined version of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talk about the problematic.
