lmao. You would think nikkas would learn a lesson from the overreaction to Blackpanther's success as a source for Black pride, where now it's used to further water down the purpose of Black History month by being an accepted viewing choice on a school's to-do list

If you're getting geeked by a Blackman publicly saying he won't employ whites, while publicly being financed and supported by them...then you're trying to get drunk off of white tears and this is about how you benefit, not the community, while pretending it is


Shyt on Monique who proved to experience the same talking points we use about Hollywood, to then seek Black pride in the success of a mixed Black person, in an interracial relationship, that has found his niche and is blatantly/unnecessarily pandering with white banter because he "knows how to play the game," unlike her

Which further proves.....symbolism/feel-good rhetoric/ability to complain > tangible and foundational gains

To be perfectly honest....
Black ppl can get away with saying alotta shyt white ppl cant...:manny: and we know this

It is what it is tho lol
truth...which is allowed for a reason by the same cacs inorder to
-prove they aren't racist,
-allow Blacks to feel empowered while not having any(as this thread shows),
-not make sacrifices or major changes
...all accomplished by pretending to be tolerant of verbal white bashing and allowing some Black folks to get drunk off of white tears

again, there's a reason why HipHop has alot more freedom to promote recklessness and degeneracy than other genres


yeah didnt need this statement to know that.

hes finding success in the formula he has. Moment I saw US do what it did this weekend. I knew that hes now in a position to not need a white lead

His mom is white.
His wife is white.
He was raised in a white household disconnected from his black father.
He grew up on Central Park West, the all-white section of Manhattan.
He should just make his movies as he likes because he is obviously talented.
I don't need to be pandered to by biracial overcompensation. Not needed.

You just smacked the shyt outta everybody on this thread...
Bro this shyt is just business...
I like homie... he found his niche..
I'm actually thinking all of Hollywood is starting to see how lucrative black characters are at the box office...
Hes black and making interesting movies, so hes gonna eat...
But let's not think for a second that he sees himself like the average black man sees themselves..
Or that hes doing whatever hes doing for some noble cause...
Hes getting that bread bro
:salute:these brehs provided well timed reality checks



Sidenote: please stop making "experiencing racism" as a requirement for Blackness, it's so silly and illogical
Black folks don't have a patent on human hardship

Don't play oppression olympics in order to weaken and reduce certain obligatory sacrifices/commitments made in other communities, so you could avoid accountability to do the same for yours.
You just want to do whatever you want and still use the community's support/plight/resources/influence for your comeup

Houston to LA like I'm Robert Horry.
Thread went just like I thought it would:mjlol::russ::dead:

EXACTLY the way I thought.

Black Women - check
White Wife - check
Mixed people can't/shouldn't relate to the black struggle - Check
He shouldn't have said anything, masta will get upset - Check


Jesus Christ the Coli is so predictable at this point.

I was just giving an example.

I wouldn’t want him to remake it. I’m just saying I wouldn’t mind seeing more hood movies or the other side of black life :yeshrug:


Like a show like the wire. shyt was super deep and it showed people in the hood. It dont have to be ignorant.


Menace to Society, BoyzNthe Hood > anything peele ever touched.
Stop

Then when someone makes it other folks get mad at stereotypes

There ain’t been a top production hood movie in years.? What you mean you tired of shyt from 20years ago:patrice:

I’ll say American Gangsta was the last one and that was probably 10years ago.

INikkas from the hood didnt watch key and peele:manny: shyt was basically cac comedy. He don’t appeal to that type of black demographic. He appealing to the new woke demographic. It ain’t none wrong with that tho :hubie:
how is American Gangster a hood flick?

and don't you ever get tired of watching the same shyt over and over again?

I'm just happy that we now have another original movie with a majority black cast that is successful. Another chip in that theory that the reason there are less black leads and black blockbusters is lack of star power and earning potential.

ain't this mufukka mixed?

That's what they say. I've seen people with two black parents that are lighter than him. Either his momma is Italian and he's on that Franco Harris tip or his daddy is Shaka Zulu

he shouldn't have said that in public.continue doing it the way you were doing in silences(*waits to be called c00n*)
Yep we need a Jordan Peele to get really deep in the game, put more brehs on, then we branch off and have our own studios/distributors/streaming networks on some sneak attack shyt. Cats finally get their lane and give the game away

Man shut up. Hood movies are dated as hell

Nobody has ever said that they think Key and Peele is dope. Matter of fact most people both Black and White have said they never expected movies as great as Get Out and US from the guy who used to do those corny Key and Peele skits

You one of those brehs who think that anything not related to the hood is corny and prefers to continuously celebrate dysfunction but complaining about the VladTvs of the world. Its 2019 the hood movies have been done to death. In the renaissance days throughout the 90s and early 2000s it was appropriate for the time that we were still in.

What can possibly be done today with it?

Lets have more creative movies in other genres or themes outside of hood movies.

We can have movies on:

Teddy Riley/New Jack Swing and how it influenced modern music today
Authentic Black New Orleans Culture. Break down the culture fully outside of the generic side the media reports
The Decline Of The Black Church and the Reasons why and Why Black Spirituality is Rising
How much Coretta Scott King was doing for the Black community in the decades after her husband died.
Our own Black animation movies on various subjects related to the community. Animation like BlackSands Entertainment, but also more examples of black animation on Black American culture especially past innovators in science and tech

A Biography on Pigmeat Markham and how he was one of the first rappers
Documentary/Film breaking down Private Black Schools in Black neighborhoods and how beneficial they are to young kids that go to them. Everyone knows about HBCUs but not many people speak on those private black schools that nourish Black youth at an early age. Documentaries or even some films showcasing some talented youth there could be of great help

Films on cryptocurrency and a group of friends or a family that gets involved with it
