[Anerdyblackguy]

She needs to worry why she allow her actresses from the chi to become sexual assault victims.

[Crude Abolitionist]

This the same bytch that rented out whole theaters for Crazy Rich Asains

She don't give a fukk about black anything.

...and yet there seems to be a few films indirectly/directly referencing the holocaust every year, without being major box office draws
but of course expecting Black financiers to be a thing for films or community building, among the social media era of #BlackExcellence#Wakanda is purely pocket watching and hating

keep playing feel-good checkers, while continually boasting about chess moves brehs

Brehs in here talking about "stop pocket watching ". Gossiping and pocket watching is damn near culture in the black community.

 

[Ol’Otis]

Moonlight” and “12 Years a Slave,” two films that are “very important to the black community

Mind your business

What Will and Denzel decide to fund is their business. She should be asking those brothas for mentorship instead of trying to air them air in the media

 

[SleezyBigSlim]

doesn't Denzel have a scholarship that pays for black actors and actresses to be trained or study or some shyt? I remember Chadwick Boseman saying Denzel paid for his shyt

Article in OP is just white supremacy bullshyt pay it no mind

 

[whatthatthangsmelllike]

What else besides the chi she’s involved in I think she only saying this cuz the chi gonna be done she need that attention

 

[Piff Perkins]

Denzel and Smith have helped multiple black actors and filmmakers...but sure, Brad Pitt has financially supported the two biggest "black films" in recent memory. This is a clear case of recency bias.

that being said, this part of the article...

When asked what other industry issues are concerning her at the moment, Waithe responded that film criticism no longer exists in a real way. “A lot of bad black movies get good reviews because white critics are afraid to pan them,” she said. I love what Chris Rock had to say, that black people haven’t overcome until we’re allowed to fail. We still feel this guilt of, ‘Go support this movie because there’s black folks in it.'”



That's some real talk...

 

[PortCityProphet]

Idk who tf this is but she need to do more research and celebrate instead of condemn


This more important than any hollywood movie
