There's a thread on Lipstickalley about the film and this is what was said spoilers as well. If you missed the trailer for the film here it is:
Some quotes:
It seems like the film is being marketed as a flick about the struggles black students go through at white universities, (just to get black people in the theaters to make $$$$) but apparently it's really about some tragic mulatto mess
the star apparently is a biracial woman and it centers around her
After reading about how the movie is about the main characters plight being half white half black I'm not interested...isn't this the movie that makes reference to listening to taylor swift or some shyt because she is also half white?
How are black people - especially the younger generation - supposed to relate to this girl? It's funny because they present the film as very pro-black.
The irony of the lead girl being light skinned and biracial though. That trope never fails does it.
Yeah. I felt that way too... especially when I saw that b.s. about the one girl liking Taylor Swift's music and the white guy pointing out to her that because she was "mulatto", she felt like she had to choose sides. That clip was a major turning point in me wanting to see this movie. I wonder if the direction that the movie is going to go in is one in which it ends up where her whole character and any valid points that her character makes throughout the movie all get reduced to a tidy explanation that she is a biracial female who chooses to play the role of a race-baiting "angry black woman" but later realizes that "people are just people" and decides to "stop being so militant and angry" and to, instead, just "live life".
SPOILER AT THE BOTTOM:
Spoilers.
She a pro-black activist who has a secret white boyfriend and has (white)daddy issues. (the lead character is biracial).
Okay, that descriptions is a bit unfair, but that's the best way I can put it.
I knew there was a catch, her problackness has to be because of a mental issue, and not just because she loves who and whose she is. The white boyfriend just puts it over the top.
This was the only way this story was going to be told though, tbh. I have a fertile farm to sell you in the Sahara if you thought this movie would be made without putting whitey on a pedestal to ease the ofays.
Imma start working on my Nat Turner script ya'll. i know Hollywood won't touch it so itll be on YouTube. I'll tag all you guys when it comes out.
Knew it was some bullshyt. And they said this a an ode to Do The Right Thing. fukk outta here. Spike wouldn't put some bullshyt like that in there.
