Nia Long Thinks Calling Black-Led Films 'Black Movies' Is Harmful— "Terms Like That Hold Us Back"

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

nikkas actually agree with this dumb shyt
No matter how you feel about blaxploitation films
Black people of that generation took pride in having black cinema
Somewhere along the way nikkas started saying this retarded rhetoric and wanting to be apart of the dominant society
White folks got you hating
Tap dancing
Jazz
Rock n Roll
Country Music
Hip Hop
R&B
Blues
Juke joint
All made by black people
Now you don’t want cinema that’s catered directly to our culture
nikkas can sit through snuff slavery films
But don’t you dare call it a black movie cuz we need that nonblack money
This is the problem with the militant mindset
nikkas so problack but hate the connotation of having anything all black and what it represents
You want a black power structure but don’t want to call it exclusively black
The math ain’t mathing

This is wrong, as someone who has a business with black faces all over it. No matter how you say it, if a certain demographic sees a black face on the cover, they will not watch it period.

In the south, no black businesses get business from white conservatives unless the business is a SERVICE. Cooking, cleaning, etc. They love paying black folks to do that.

Shoe brand? Wedding Photography? Any kind of creative? No thanks.

Saying black just helps alleviate the real core audience to know it wasnt made by a c00n.

It’s not wrong at all when you’re specifically referring to the film industry where every dollar matters and could make or break a movie. That foreign money makes a difference now more than it used to.
