I just read the plot synopsis for Precious for the first time.

So once we have more money and power then these films are perfectly fine. Got it.

Fukk are you being contrarian or just dense as fukk?

The point is once you've got "Fukk you" money and status, you can do what the fukk you want. You don't need to worry if the people seeing it love you or hate you more depending on how they interpret their interior guilt trip because, once again, you've got fukk you money and status. Money talks, BS walks, and it'll be that way until the dusk of humanity.

Israel is currently committing unabashed genocide in the Middle East. They don't care what the rest of the world thinks of their actions.

Why?

Israel has fukk you money and status on the world stage. That's it.

Jews never complain about their trauma porn…

Why are we so adamant about hiding our trauma?

:patrice:

insecurity.
not as secure as the jews.
and because of the tenuousness of our position, there is also the very real threat that "the butler" or "the help" is just one legislative ruling away from being a reality for many of us.
so folks don't like to see it.

So once we have fukk you money and a black nation getting weapons from the US these films will be fine. Got it.

My mom bought the book so everybody in the house had already read it and was desensitized.

We got a bootleg from a gas station and nobody could keep from laughing at how Monique approached her role lol.

Breh… The late 00s/early 2010 was an onslaught of black trauma porn and buffoonery.

Tyler Perry and his Madea nonsense. Interestingly enough, both he and Lee Daniels were being championed by Oprah. A coincidence? :mjpls:

The final straw for me was The Help. The way I saw so many white folk (white women in particular) lining up so giddy to watch it, I refused to spend a cent watching it. They love watching movies about the good old days when black folk were subservient.

And then a few years later, another Lee Daniels shyt show “The Butler” came out, starring and supported by Oprah once again.

This is why a huge cultural shift was needed. The “conscious” movement has been far from perfect because it’s filled with so many charlatans, but it’s led to more woke folks (before the word got corrupted).
