One Of The Best Things About Sinners (Aside From It Being A Great Movie) Was…

It showed “nikka “ was a part of the vernacular since way back when.

The only difference between now and then is honkeys think it’s cool now so now it’s supposed to be acceptable lol

Dummies with no cultural insight blame Eazy-E & rap but never seen Blues Brothers or 48 hours lol

This fact alone makes it all the more funny when people say “If you don’t want them saying it then don’t say it.” How p*ssy can you be?

Respectability politics and the distancing from what was deemed lower class uncouth behavior are some reasons. Plus, people were focused on showing and presenting our culture on the better parts, since white mainstream media focused on showing us in degraded positions.

I think it’s an untapped market though, only other movie I can remember that depicts 1930s Black Mississippi was Life. There are a lot of stories that can be told.
