"The Views" "Sherri Shepherd, Historical Knowledge and Hollywood Staples

It's time "The Views" Sherri Shepherd is taken to task.  Sherri Shepherd needs to find her intellectual comfort zone and stick to it. Because her placement in the public discourse relevancy chain exposes her to the critical measure of historical knowledge.

Sherri Shepherd's recent critique of James Cameron's movie "Avatar" on the grounds that it depicts the U.S. military in a heinous light, committing genocidal deeds is silly.

If the measure of art as defined by the infantile reaction of the Sherri Shepherd world view and it's thought is critical depictions of U.S. culture are impolitic.  Then where is the line drawn?

Are we  being asked to ignore the ubiquitously, sadistic, misogynistic, racist, paternalistic and Political-Reactionary dimensions of Hollywood staples and only rise up in arms at the effrontery of movies and art that dare question the social-contract suppositions of the nations organized violence?
