These are among the messages that DuVernay wanted to pack into her film, which is entering theaters just as Black Panther, the superhero movie directed by DuVernay’s friend Ryan Coogler, also charts new frontiers of screen representation. For DuVernay, who based Meg’s look on her niece Molly, one of the most crucial relationships in A Wrinkle in Time is the budding rapport between Meg and her white classmate Calvin (Levi Miller), who twice compliments Meg’s natural curls. “The fact that this Caucasian boy says to her, ‘I like that’? That’s so big for a girl of color!” said DuVernay. “And it’s big for Caucasian boys to be able to feel that’s beautiful, too.”

The kid was good. The movie was trash. If the director is so concerned about black girls feeling good about their curls I feel like the compliment coming from a black boy would've made more sense. A black dad would've been better for this time because we need to strengthen the black family. Nothing against interracial family's and relationships but irl those relationships especially white man/black woman are fine. The black family has and continues to be targeted smh.

Let’s all wait for the backlash for this comment from black women. We all know that when black men say that white male acceptance is important to black women we get a whole lot of push back and backlash, so Ava DuVernay is certainly going to receive some push back for claiming that black women covet white male acceptance. Right?

A lot of black women have decided that the end game of white supremacy, which has always been our extermination, is approaching its final stage with the rise of the alt-right under Trump. They feel their only sanctuary is to cuddle up to white daddy and wench their way into being spared the gas chamber. So, they are now actively showing hostility towards straight black men and openly courting white suitors. :francis:
