This whole response is wack and full of emotion. No logic to be found anywhere. You're obviously not as smart as you think you are and I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you.
I, likely, know more about black history than you and I've likely contributed to more blacks having economic opportunity to explore black history than you. Ignorance is a symptom; many blacks older and younger than myself are ignorant to the many contributions blacks have made to the world, just as most of the world is, it's a symptom of their upbringing -- in the absence of quality education, I can't take fault in them looking up to a fictional character, and if he's a good person (though fictional) I fail to see how there is anything wrong with that.
More excuses. It's no coincidence, the same person that's making excuses for ignorance, is the same person pushing/rationalizing/capeing for a fictional character to viewed as inspirational, aspirational, and motivational
The only benefit for making excuses to be ignorant about Black history and to encourage hero worship for fictional characters VS real life hero, is so your kind don't have to be held accountable, not just for your ignorance but also for your complacency
Your poor attempt at trying to qualify yourself as being very active in the Black community, having a wealth of knowledge about Black history completely fails when you feel comfortable saying nonsense like
" Even if we aren't making the most profit off the film, blacks are still profiting."
That reeks of a complacent, good-along to get along type that embraces symbolic victories because it's easier to achieve.
So stop with all the tales of your suppose merits, efforts, and knowledge about Black community and plight, the way you've presented your self is enough to prove that you're full of shyt
"high-speed innanet?" Ok....what makes them obligated to google black history? Again, you seem to think you can make people do things and you can't. You, being a whole nobody, has no authority over anyone to make them care or even learn. If you think that's lazy, well, by all means, go ahead and change everyones mindset/mentality.
Read this BS again. Keep in mind, the same person is pushing for fictional sources of inspiration is asking why it should be obligatory for Black folks to know their history? cotdamn
clearly if someone had the wealth of knowledge about Black History as you claim, then you'll be willing to depend/offer the vast examples of Black heros to inspire and motivate rather than a hero whose existence is dependent on whether Mickey Mouse is willing to fund his next project
You said Asians are staying on code? You've yet to prove how in relation to the movie, which, as I mentioned, has yet to even come out. Koreantowns and Chinatowns were created long-before this movie will even come out, so the matters are not intertwined. Again, representation and economic status are not intertwined. You keep trying to correlate them and that's not how it works.
To not recognize/understand that conscious efforts to sustain the ethnicity/culture of a neighborhood, demand levels of code implementation and long-term selfless commitments, that overlaps prognostication, socioe-economical, political, and historical boundaries, is a red-flag that you haven't done any research on this subject or care about it
Yet you still feel comfortable basing your argument on the trivial reaction by Asians to a non-released film, while being blissfully ignorant on their calculated reaction to social,political, and economical strife; thus the existence of Koreantown and Chinatown
You say the narrative of hoping that more blacks gain employment opportunity is silly?
Now this is the third time you're falsely attributing a point to me that I never made, so this will be the second time I'm asking for reciepts
Like I said most things require more effort, but you don't know why people chose to either engage or disengage unless they explicitly tell you. You're assumption that everyone is too lazy or too dumb to do more is strictly that...an assumption.
And while you're looking for that receipts,I'm still awaiting for you to show me where I mentioned anyone being lazy or too dumb to do anything
Slow down there Trump. Is it not feasible to believe that, upon seeing a black movie perform well, one that was staffed by majority blacks, will offer opportunities for that black staff? Is it not feasible to think that those few blacks with the income to invest in a motion picture will be more likely to invest after seeing the success that black movies, including BP have had? Is it not feasible to think, that other directors, maybe even white directors will want to cast someone who is likely to become a global action star in their movies if not for the recognition? The costume designer for Scandal, a black woman, ended up getting her own clothing line....it's very possible. Sorry, I never saw the potential for blacks to take the success of BP and do more as silly....my bad.
Pure wishful and completely out of context babble, that is conveniently ignoring the vast reels, before and co-release with BP , that display the talents of Black creatives
Your selective memory about Black creatives, which is void of any context to hollywood inconsistencies and white supremacist agenda, proves that your efforts/agenda in this thread is disingenuous
Fictional characters are used as inspiration all the time, just as often as real life characters. I fail to see how not knowing about Frederick Jones or Sarah Rector doesn't mean you can't appreciate an action movie.
smh. The poor attempts at being selectively obtuse, purely ignorant and purposefully deceitful, won't be enough to use as a deflection, sorry
From what you wrote, you're not talmbowt "inspiration" based on human decency, empathy, and confidence
The type of "inspiration" you talmbowt is only achievable by making changes in hollywood and society that goes beyond human decency, empathy, and confidence, and is rooted in history, culture, code, and commitment
These lessons and solutions won't be taught/covered by fictional characters because like I've already mentioned...
Everyone certainly has an agenda, especially in entertainment, which is why I mentioned it. So don't make this movie that's for profit purposes for the studio and more reel footage for the creatives' portfolio, more than what it is
