The Birth of a Nation (Official Thread)

[Maxine Shaw]

His telling that fib doesn't mean he raped the woman, only that he is combating a corrupt legal system trying to condemn men for group sex.

He wasn't charged until months after the fact.

The so-called "raped" girl slept with Nate the morning after she was raped. Who does that?

Plenty of rape victims. Google - it's your friend.

Annnnd so it begins...

The American Film Institute has canceled its Friday screening of “Birth of a Nation,” which was to be followed by a Q&A with filmmaker and star Nate Parker, whose 1999 rape case has put the filmmaker and distributor Fox Searchlight on the defensive this past week.

The burden of proof for a murder case and a rape case are extremely disparate. Victims of a murder trial cannot even give a testimony or be cross examined while alleged rape victims are able. Comparing the two is beyond egregious. You chose to compare it to that trial and not another rape trial for a reason. Are the people who are skeptical of Steven Avery's conviction supposed to be skeptical of Darren Sharper's conviction because of how easy it is to "choose your own interpretations out of favoritism?" Nuance exists for a reason, so do not be oblivious.

what u doing in the red breh u spoke the truth

I'm noticing on Twitter that everytime a famous Black person comes out to support and/or defend Nate Parker, the Black Feminists/LGBTs & the c00ns who support them, feel some type of way about it.

Harry Belafonte & Al Sharpton defended Nate Parker yesterday & now I'm see these folks I follow on Twitter tweeting/retweeting about how their disappointed & mad at them.


I'm now really excited about this movie being released now. The closer we get to the release, they gonna realize they on their own with the anti-Nate shyt in Black society.



EDIT:
They was MAD AF about this new Nate Parker Variety interview from Yesterday:

Which 1 is it?

Y'all shouldn't be suprised. These are the same oscar voters who were saying slick racist shyt anonymously about "Selma" a couple years ago.

Again, that statement doesn't mean anything. It just means he wasn't trying to talk about a train.

This media outrage was so predictable that this is almost comical

This is bullshyt

 

[KingofthePenguins]

The media is really doing way too much. The girl's family wanted people to really drop the shyt, but they are going about it anyway.

 

[pickles]

I am going to keep it 100, through the history of time black brehs allegedly raping or even being accused of raping white women will get tons of publicity.

He had to have known this was coming.

I had to chuckle this morning when I saw of these dudes on Twitter who been shytting on Nate Parker get mad all of sudden when they that saw the article from The Hollywood Reporter about about what Oscar Voters are saying anonymously about Nate Parker and 'Birth of a Nation': They acting like they didn't see this coming.

Watching this shyt show like...
