So how long they wait until Black men are actually in a position of promoting their beauty
They don't have to wait for black men, there's Youtube studios like Reckless Tortuga doing mini tv shows.So how long they wait until Black men are actually in a position of promoting their beauty
Actually agree with your post I quoted, I just worded wrong.Honestly, idc. That is what I comprehended.
I understand. But the grand scheme of things is it isn't top priority. All these simps running show that our women are beautiful. fukk TV.Actually agree with your post I quoted, I just worded wrong.
the women are raising the boys to be matriarchal by nature

Better that then complaining about what white hollywood is doing.
It's interesting you brought that movie up since it's made by the same director (Rick Famuyiwa) who made The Wood. I haven't seen Dope but I know Zoe kravitz and chanel iman are in it (both mixed) vs the wood that came out in 1999 which had Malinda Williams, Sanaa Lathan and Lisa Raye as the main female characters (iirc), it kinda serves as an interesting contrast. What do you think has changed?Let's talk about a little movie called Dope (a very recent example. Black director, black screen-writer, and a mostly black cast (at least the males were). They had no problem using actual black men as actors, but every single female character was light/mixed. I won't even discuss the disturbing colorism in Nollywood.
What do you mean when you say that
They're reversing the roles you say? The men are being taught to stay at home and let the woman go to work?
.
by matriarchal, i mean boys are taught to follow female leadership. they aren't taught much about manhood, generational wealth, the importance of leading or providing. black boys are missing tons of lessons (and resources) that are being given to other races of males.

So you don't think this female leadership is happening all over, not just among Blacks?
Probably producer choices and not his personally. Keyword, probably. He is Nigerian.It's interesting you brought that movie up since it's made by the same director (Rick Famuyiwa) who made The Wood.

Cacs can control non-white women easily. It is emasculating men of color.oh, i'm certain its spreading to other groups, but the black community is ground zero.
I forgot Tamala Jones was in The Wood too.So you don't think this female leadership is happening all over, not just among Blacks?
They are all light skinned (except for Malinda), I don't think anything has changed, you're not changing anything if you replace the half-breeds with a bunch of light brights.
That could be it. Maybe Pharrell (executive producer) wanted to be "inclusive".Probably producer choices and not his personally. Keyword, probably. He is Nigerian.
