Apparently, you can't just go see a spiderman movie without the left wing pushing it's crap all over the experience......there you are, watching a film...and then you get to hear about slavery and the nations capital.......from an actress who likely votes for the political party that owned slaves and actually started a war to keep blacks as slaves......
What's With The Really Weird Racial Thing In 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'?
But one member refuses to go into the obelisk. Zendaya's character, Michelle, says she won’t go into a building built by slaves. The team's coach, who is white, says he’s pretty sure slaves didn't build the monument, but then the camera pans over to a nearby security guard, who looks at the coach and wiggles one hand in a so-so gesture than means, "Uh, maybe so, maybe not."
First, the facts: No one really knows if slaves were used to build the monument to America's first president.

In the movie, Zendaya's Michelle never revisits the issue, never, say, Googles the claim and says, "Huh, turns out no one really knows for sure." The claim just hangs there like a dark cloud over an otherwise jaunty fun movie.
But it does fit right in with Hollywood's desire to take American down a peg. And now, a whole new generation — who also likely won't bother to check the facts — will blurt out the claim at will.
She won't enter a building that might have been built by slaves in a time of slavery....but will likely vote for the political party that was built on slavery.....
