Considering the amount of black women who have gone natural, I expect many think-pieces.

:beli:

I wish it could just be historical fiction, and leave it at that.
Yep. Already seeing on twitter that people saying how it should focus on how it negatively impacted black women. Not uplifted them. :francis:

I think she made up to 10 mill back in the early 1900s :wow:

1 million in the 1900s was equivalent to 30 million today.
10 million back in the 1900s, is like 100 million in today's value. That's amazing. I'm bookmarking this thread for sure. I want to read more about her.

Yeah they gonna ruin the movie. Thank god malcolm x wasn't made in this time and day. They would do think pieces on black men dating loose white women.

This is actually a good watch. (on Ep 3)

Netflix giving the bag for stories like this? :mjcry:

Well-shot, written well, and tells a story about someone I didn't know much about. :yeshrug:

The culture needs more "inspired by" the lives of cats we never heard of who did big things their way, and represent our history.

That being said, no lie I started out like :francis:
Then I recognized more and more actors like :ohhh:
Then the story played out like :ehh:
Then I just enjoyed it all like :wow:

Give a chance if you quarantined, it's a good look.

Good shyt!

Just my opinion, but yall got Netflix, innit?

:usure:

Gotta rate this pleasantly, yet thoroughly surprisingly enjoyable.

fukk my thoughts, just watch it. Glad Netflix did the Madame well. :salute:
