But they'll go see a movie about an illiterate fat black girl getting molested by her parents, stealing buckets of fried chicken, and getting HIV at the end? You don't see a problem with that?

I don't know what they went to go see. If a person is right behind me, I'm going to hold the door so they can catch it. End of Story. What does a movie have to do with me respecting a person standing behind me going inside a public doorway.

That's a different thread. I'm just trying to figure out how you can say a movie about African history won't do well? With the right marketing, anything can be a success.

And for the movie Precious, that was a movie that mostly white people liked. That was the point that was I making. So basically the only time white people can enjoy a "black" movie is when the characters are negative stereotypes and in the worst socioeconomic situations imaginable.

Jackie Robinson has been dead for 41 years.
It was probably about time they made a film about him.

Personally, I'd like to see an African kingdom movie portrayed by native African actors/actresses. If it is filled with African Americans, I wouldn't find myself as interested. :yeshrug:

Whats wrong with movies depicting slavery? Not suggesting that we shouldn't have movies that cover the entirety of the African experience but yall wanna act like those 400 years of slavery aren't important in the context of African American history :what:. Every facet of African history should be told and retold, and yes that includes the stain of slavery.
You aren't understanding the point. There are 1,638,249,938,009,390,299,902,002 Movies about slavery and about 13 movies about anything else regarding black people.

We just want some balance. That's all. Pay attention to what Nick Canon said..."We get 2 slave movies EVERY YEAR". He didn't say, do away with all slave movies.
