Still waiting for the Atlanta (black)film industry to explode to even bigger heights. But luckily for now I am glad NY is taking really big bites from the Hollywood film industry.

There needs to be more alternatives to Hollywood, especially for black folks.
More on this atl and ny black film industry bruh?

I've came to the conclusion that most whites don't know what racism really is or don't know how to have mature discussions dealing with race.
ive come to this point as well.

Thats why I go out of my way to discuss anything involving race at all. I don't want to hear their opinions and thoughts on race cause 9 times out of 10 its either ignorant or just non sensical.

this is why i dont really fukk with white people anymore in real life either. they live in a world of dishonesty where the lie to our faces and celebrate how great the product of our oppression is for their lives. Even when they arent impressive personally.

What is interesting to me is ATL hasn't seen a Black Indy Film Start Up wave the way there is a tech start up wave. There are a good amount of Films being made in ATL that go straight to netflix, but with the ATL having the AUC, in particular Clark which has a well known Mass Comm program I'm surprised there isn't a push for people pitching stuff to venture capitalist. I also feel it would be dope if Tyler Perry did some type of AUC to Tyler Perry studios pipeline where he allocated certain # of funds and annually pics Seniors to make an indy film, this can introduced new talent, get kids experience,and Tyler has a good tax write that makes him look like a hero.

The film scene my scene though so idk what is going on on that tip, but I do know there is a black indy film scene in ATL.

I wasn't talking about the black industry in NY, but Atlanta.

Article came out in 2011, but still relevant.
Stars Flock to Atlanta, Reshaping a Center of Black Culture
“Atlanta is really becoming the black Hollywood,” Mr. Hudlin said. Because many black filmmakers are working on tighter budgets than white filmmakers, they need to save money and Georgia helps them do that, he said.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/26/us/atlanta-emerges-as-a-center-of-black-entertainment.html?_r=0

I don't know if my own pops is :duck: or not, but he currently lives in Atlanta and he trying to produce a low budget action film and he claims to have met someone who has worked with Tyler Perry. Again don't know if this is :duck: or not, but one of my brothers did confirm that he has the equipment and has met with people. For right now I'm just going to see...

But anyways if Atlanta (black) film industry continues to grow it only spells good things for blacks who are trying to get into this industry. Atlanta I hear is already easy to network with other blacks. We would have our own film industry independent of Hollywood. We would only rely on whites for distribution and thats it.

As for NY, I only mentioned it because its personally good for me(live in a county right outside NYC)as someone trying to break into that industry and because its taking BIG bites from Hollywood and bringing good competition. Which is a MUST.

I am loving this because it offers everyone including blacks because it offers an alternative to Hollywood. The same Hollywood that is racist, has a demonic culture, dated ideas, etc.

Had a cac on fb today try to tell me that slavery and the murder of natives in 1776 is not a crime because it wasn't yet written into law. :usure: I don't need any legal paper to tell me what a crime against humanity is.

When activist and "Grey's Anatomy" star Jesse Williams launched into animpassioned defense of the Black Lives Matter movement during an acceptance speech at the BET Awards in late June, he likely anticipated some backlash, but he may not have been prepared for this.

A Change.org petition has called for the actor to be fired from his role on the hit ABC medical drama, because he allegedly "spewed a racist, hate speech against law enforcement and white people at the BET Awards."

"If this was a white person making the same speech about an African-American, they would have been fired and globally chastised, as they should be, but there has been so consequences to Williams' actions," the petition reads. "There's been no companies making a stand
