[Peak]

Wait a minute the black character was gay?!?!

i didnt know that was their agenda.....i was wondering why 2 equal peers were getting all these Oscar nods.....turns out, One is a batty beta and the other guy is the 'alpha' It never fails....

So, since “If Beale Street Could Talk” got Cac Acclaim, what is the angle in THIS flic? The brother must get beat up on a lot and the woman wenches once the brotha dies - huh?

Well, whats the motherfukking movie's name so I know NOT to watch it

GREEN BOOK.....I thought the brotha was being driven around, smashing all type of bad bytches

I wanted to see this bytch too.

Not only that the movie focuses on him being gay.

But the wiki page on dude says their were rumors of him being gay but no proof. Plus in real life the brotha was married.


Dude you can't make this shyt up...


Damn to be famous and black. When you die they either drag your name through the mud. Or make you part of the agenda.

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

The academy only likes 2 types of race related film.

1.The kind that shows extreme out in the open bigotry contrasted by a white person who sees that bigotry and speaks out against it.

The white character doesnt try to make systemic changes, the white character doesnt challenge power structures, the white character doesnt interrogate his own racism. He does not challenge the cognitive dissonance he feels when he looks at friends and family members and realizes that the people he loves can also be hateful.

For a lot of white people racism is simply a matter of etiquette and interpersonal exchanges.

The second type of racism movie they like is the kind where black people are brutalized consistently and their lives are shown to be a living hell. This kind of film also asks nothing of the audience. At best We are simply meant to accept that it is nobody's fault that the black people in this film are suffering while at worst it is implied that it is the fault of the black characters for making the wrong choices.

I quote myself from the official thread:

other than Denzel and Cuba every black oscar winner has one of the following things:

- fakkitry
- Slavery
- Being the "Help"
- being the "Magic Negro"
- being disparaged by white people
- being "saved" by white people

fukk Hollywood

this movie got 4 of these things going so you know it will get 6 Oscars

What makes it worse is that the family disputes the accuracy of the movie says dudes weren't even that close and weren't friends

The script was written by the white dudes relative

The Green book is a real book that existed to help black folk navigate segregation and now this movie has usurped that history
