Oprah's character in Color Purple

I have to be honest; I haven’t read Raisin in the Sun

Whew y’all think some crazy stuff. Everything is not propaganda or critiquing a group of people. Sometimes it is telling someone’s story. The Color Purple is a great book.

I haven’t read every book. However I’ve read a great many

No I’m questioning how you could not think TCP was propaganda or a critique yet you haven’t read Raisin in the Sun; how do you not know to distinguish propaganda and storytelling v commentary?

 

[fckyoupayme]

I know how to distinguish all three. While a classic, A Raisin in the Sun is not the standard. The Color Purple and A Raisin in the Sun aren’t even the same genre. You about to make me go research

I thought it was a pretty good movie

Her character in the movie reminds me of the black women you see today, especially the ones from tougher economic backgrounds

Where do you see the parallels?

hold up

you say that it's an "early version of black feminist propaganda" but then you say Oprah is not an advocate for black women

which the fukk is it

from my girls couch, you ma'am are a goofy.

Not it's not.. wtf? That move was made by a white man, to present an early version of the "black feminist" propaganda piece about the demonization of black men for black audiences. I watch that shyt now and I would cringe; as little girl I didn't pay attention to the message bc I didn't see the interpretation for what it was. Oprah is not an advocate for black women. Alice Walker is a known lesbo. Neither one of them are married or in traditional relationships.
