Wow. If all of that is true, that's pretty scummy. I don't understand how people can take advantage of someone like that.

Well they wrote a story where they made him into a helpless, socially stunted imbecile and that they were responsible for every single accomplishment of his. None of this story is surprising, assuming it's true.
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.
The story screamed "white savior" complex, they just say an opportunity to capitalize on Oher's future while making themselves into fraudulent "heroes".
The fucked part, I don't think they are pretending. They actually see themselves as heroes.
If the court brings the hammer, they'll shift to being the victims.
These are people who life and die by "sincerely held beliefs" -- pity sincerely held logic has no place in American discourse anymore.
Wow yeah complete scum. They essentially conned this kid and the rest of the world. WOW. this is the lowest of slimes.
This has got to be some of the most evil shit I've heard of.
I feel like it should be noted that the family categorically denied this. They claim they did the conservatorship because of NCAA rules and that they are independently wealthy due to owning fast food chains.
You can't just automatically assume that the person with the more compelling narrative is telling the truth. You need to wait until the facts come out.
