Korey was skirting very close to the line..
I get the sentiment but him saying..
“That’s why cops shoot us”
Is utter bullshyt..
Cops been shooting us for years...
No matter if we wear suits, follow complete instructions (Philand C.).
America don’t give a fukk about black skin..
Never have..
Never will..
Granted he was correct on how Hollywood gave a green light to this after the success of Black Panther..
We do need more positive movies to encourage kids..
Will never argue against it..
But let’s not act like America wasn’t raised on gangster movies and violence..
The Godfather is a complete bullshyt portrayal of Italians..
Scarface bullshyt portrayal of Cubans..
But both are seen as classic..
Blaxploitation was an golden era of film(some despise it but I love it)
For better or worse..
I understand his assessment that those movies had meanings and messages..
But this movie could have the same messages that just got brushed over..
I mean Martin didn’t even know about crypto being turned into real money and called it far fetched..
Sometimes old nikkas are quick to judge and say the most
shyt out their mouths..
And I’m an old nikka and have caught myself and had to fall back because young brehs just need someone to listen..
Even if we know better..
The way Korey was talking over Goodwin was one of those moments..
Getting defensive and acting like what he says is law..
That’s one of the biggest problems in our community..
Nobody listens and we can never meet in the middle or at least try to reason with each other..
Nobody he has around him will challenge him like that outside of Martin..
Even Oz capitulates..
Again..
I fukks with Korey but some of his views and ways
