Taraji P. Henson is producing and starring in a Emmett Till film, directed by John Singleton

[Yapdatfool]

Given the 'sexual harassment'/street harassment/#metoo era, this could be either a great film to really challenge (and shyt on) those mindsets of black male = inherently and make white (women) mad as shyt...

Or justify it.

John singleton gives me pause.

Emmit Till gonna be secretly gay and a crossdresser trying to whistle at that white lady to give him his purse back.

I'mma definitely have to avoid this one.Not about to have me walking out the theater like

Ready to cause a race riot

when the end of the movie written parts come up and the last line is


"Years later she admitted to lying..."

*screen fades to black*

 

[KingsOfKings]

Cause the alternative script was so poetic............

Did you read about the jail rape scene or that john singeleton wrote a lesbian scene for afeni? That ain't cool bro.

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

shyt. If Rosewood made me feel some type of way, this shyt gonna make my blood boil & not want to be around whites in any capacity for atleast a week straight.

Brehs, I was not ready for the rage and grief that entered my body when I saw the photos of Emmett in a casket during history class, then having the teacher give the blow by blow of what happened in the most matter of factual, professional tone that he used for everything else like that wasn't a human life that got ended in the most foul way imaginable. That was legit the first time in my life at that point where I could recall being that fukked up.

I think the movie should be made. I think this film aboso-fukking-lutely should be made because nothing's changed since then. But I know damn well I'm gonna walk out of the theater equal parts enraged, shook and depressed.
