the internet = distraction. Thread about movies = distraction. The distracting activities have just been moved to other distracting activities. I get it, its all distraction. But so is school. Distraction is a result of surplus. You're living in a time of surplus, therefore you have distractions. Its useless to judge another's distraction because that's a distraction too. In other words, congrats Coogs and Michael B!!

I mean that's good and all and congrats to Michael B, but I don't see how that benefits us...we ain't seeing that money. What's there to be excited about?
Breh, the script was written and directed by a brutha coming up out of Richmond, Ca. Ryan Coogler parlayed that Fruitvale story into a major motion picture franchise.

I cant ftont, Im proud ol boy got the shot, and honestly he did the film solid from honoring Phillies gritty images, to keepin it 100 and even putting Ward in the flick.

The Truth
Impact. The impact that seeing him be successful could have on younger black men and women. That's the biggest thing we take from this. And the biggest benefit of black excellence as a whole.

Impact and Inspiration.

Some kid might imprint on Michael B Jordan and it could set his path on a total different trajectory.

This happened to me when I was kid.

Same thing with LBJ with Jordan and Denzel Washington with Sidney Poitier.

Impact is important. Black representation is the media is important.

Stop being downers.
Exactly

And not just with Michael B Jordan.. But with Ryan Coogler as well.

A young, black, ex-football player turned into one of the hottest directors in mostly white Hollywood... That impact is BIG

We get more Creed movies, obviously. Dumbass. Why does everything have to be on some militant shyt around here?
i don't even agree with the post you're quoting and am happy for Jordan and Coogler but a twelve year old was murdered in cold blood and his murderer didn't even go to trial.. so yeah things will be "militant" around here for the foreseeable future
