facts we don't watch those no more fam. tell them to sell that trauma to others. we will not continue to relive these fukking traumas. will needs to make an egypt movie about the origins of math and science and the creators of all that in their truest nature/forms.

Why Egypt and not any one of those big Western African kingdoms. The whole infatuation with Egypt always felt low-key weird to me. Brehs want to be Hebrews, Egyptians, why not from the Mali or Ghana Empire.

the story is more grand, the lies about it in current film are more pervasive.

i feel like once we start retelling the truth about the biggest lies on a grand scale then we can focus on the other empires and their contributions to culture, tech, science. I mean there was a library in timbuktu filled with african history that was destroyed so the truth would stay obscure. trust and believe i want an AKAN empire epic on the big screen with a truthful depiction of the relationship with the portugese and english and how that led to the current state of affairs in Ghana and a large part of west africa today.

Where's all the posters that said his career over?

Good for Will

 

[Mike809]

90% of the movie budget is going into that whipping scene.

 

[JoseLuisGotcha]

They love this man out there in Hollywood. They shamed him for two months but they took him back. Of course Jada ain't going anywhere.

That's what folks don't get. Love him or hate him he's cliqued in. Folks saying his career was over had me rolling. Dude made Steven Spielburg a ton with Men In Black and that disregards his other moneymakers. He would have to ice somebody and go up for a bid to get written off in full.

They are still in here hating. Incredible.

These salaries just don't seem sustainable with the streaming service format especially since you have no way of truly knowing how much these films are actually bringing in and if they're increasing subscribers. That's why Netflix is testing hiding certain movies and shows behind tiers and I'm suspecting that others will follow suit.

As I will say again, the end result will be cable all over again.

 

[Voice of Reason]

I don't mind slave movies they could be tools to shift the discourse on reparations in the right direction.

As long as they are done well if cool with me.

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

Good on him.

I don't watch those kind of movies anymore but good on him.

I suppose at the very least it will be about one of us fighting back instead of suffering nobly until a 'good' white person comes to the rescue.

I wish I could sticky this forum-wide in every thread.

Because people look at those parts of Africa the same way they look at folks from the hood.
