Cacs are big mad in the comment section of this new pro-black movie

[Phitz]

this looks stupid

this "historical" fiction is already rife with the usual wokapolypse agenda woman "king" kissing the colonizer

what's even worse is they have them speaking english as their primary language(not even local tongue) and they didn't even have english colonizers,
Benin Togo where Dahomey Kingdom was, is mostly French speaking as their colonial history is mostly french

I don't even want to support on bootleg, *disgusted*



but the premise does match well today, selling your own people and kissing the colonizer to push today's agenda
The subliminals are glaring

@UpAndComing almost all of Dahomey's wealth was due to warring on the people near them and then capturing survivors and selling captives to Europeans as slaves. They were forma vassal State of Oyo, but don't be fooled Dahomey, the Aro Confederacy and Oyo were trade partners of the Europeans and people were the trade.
@BlackJesus there was nothing pro black about Dahomey unless you think destroying Black civilization and communities is pro black. If that is the case then you could also make the argument that drug dealers and gang members are pro black.

Already went over this. The movie itself is pro black. This is not about history but purely from an artistic standpoint and what the movie is depicting

Ofcourse the Coli contrarians and the historians have to come out of nowhere and oppose it for its own sake. It’s always the same guys too

The movie is clearly propaganda which will likely work on people that don't know the history of savage ass Dahomey. The truth about Dahomey is that they were sellout nikkas that weren't shyt and responsible for the murder and enslavement of hundreds of thousands if not millions of people including some of your own relatives if you are of African heritage. I guess next they will make a romantic comedy about slave life on plantations. It will no doubt be fantastic from an artistic standpoint.

I don’t think Pro-Black and Dahomey is right to use in the same sentence…….

I understand where you’re coming from OP, but the horrifying history behind this group is too much to ignore.

 

[KateFabersBoyfriend]

How do we know this movie is pro-black?

 

[KingZaire_]

fukk THE DAHOMEY AND ANYONE WHO LOVE EM

No Black American should be supporting this it’s like Jews supporting a nazi movie

 

[Rell84shots]

How do you know that, have u seen it?

Given how things are nowadays with blk peoples depiction in the media, especially when it's produced n financed by yts, I'd be surprised if this movie didn't have a swirl love story, gay shyt, strong bw n weak incompetent bm narratives.

It has all of that minus the gay part in the trailer, and it was written by 2 cac women. You really can't make this shyt up.

I'm sure problack and antiblack wasn't even a thing in Africa back then. The concept of race would've been brand new to them. Just one of the many evils white folks came up with

[GrindtooFilthy]

[Cuban Pete]

Dahomey pro-black?

I almost spit out my water. Dont do the ancestors like that

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

If u ADOS u shouldnt f with this movie, these mfs literally sold our people to the white man

 

[O.Red]

The movie is. Dahomey wasn’t. But the way they tell the story, makes it pro black

You can't be this naive
