That's the Association of Black Women HIstorian's statement.

The lawsuit was dismissed because it was past the statute of limitations, but the point still stands. This white women took the stories of these black women and used them even when she was specifically asked not to.

And as for the trope, I'm confused. So you admit that it is racist and yet say the book/movie isn't racist? Its racist. Its not the only thing racist about The Help, but just that would be enough to call the book and movie racist.

This author took the stories of these people and used them even when specifically asked not to.

If the lawsuit had gone forward it would have been about an author writing about people without their permission, not a white woman writing about black women without their permission.

True. But just because their races aren't relevant legally doesn't mean they're not relevant at all. We can only speculate on why Kathryn Stockett felt she could get away with it, but in doing so we can note the existing pattern of black women having their wishes disrespected by white people in America.

RE: The Help.

My Black friends won't touch this movie with a ten foot pole. They found it very insulting and racist.
