Platt was a c00n.. and what he did to Patsy was worse than Fassbender and his cac wife. He could've put her out of her misery but was like

And the bytch with the two kids.. Platt aint even try to console her.

At calling him "Platt"... and yea, Northrup was "new black" before the term ever became wavy!

my boy was saying the same thing... why didn't he get into the anti-slavery movement before he got kidnapped?? he was well off, making money, in the north... even when he saw that one slave sneak up in the store.. he didn't even say shyt to him...Platt was a c00n.. and what he did to Patsy was worse than Fassbender and his cac wife.

and when he told that lady to shut it up cause nobody wanted to hear it.. and she came back like "damn nikka you already forgot about your kids huh?
i understand beating patsy... many slaves had to do that or face torture.. and the girl still would have been beat... but yea he could have at least pulled off the assisted suicide for her... or came back and bought her out of slavery... or something
nikka just hugged her on the way out and looked at her like
same thing that other slave did to him
And THIS is why these fukking movies are made.
You know how far away the North was from those slave states? It would take him days to get down there.
South was like an entirely different country back then....
Solomon had a family to feed. He had to make a living. He had his own life. You can make the whole world's problems his problems.
That all sounds like a bunch of excuses, right?
It's a sacrifice, but if you're Solomon you GOT to make that sacrifice, right?
Well, in 1840 there were 2.5 million slaves in the American South. There are 30 million slaves in the world right now. Millions of them are in Africa.
It would have taken Solomon days to get to a slave state. You can get to Africa in less than 24 hours.
It might be hard to get shyt down. It's a LONG road ahead. But don't tell me it's any harder than ending slavery in the South was. And whatever resources and knowledge Solomon had, you know that you got more.
So don't bytch about what he did or didn't do before he was made a slave himself and got enlightened. Look at what YOU are doing right now, and apply your own lessons.

Man, all that shyt was hard as hell. Especially with the obvious parallelism they made with the way the other guy had just turned his back. But that's the power of fear...
The only silver lining I can give about the real Solomon is that "assisted suicide" scene with Patsy didn't actually happen. In the book, that nasty wife of the slaveowner is the one who asked Solomon to kill Patsy for her, and he refused.

Can you explain what you mean by this? Why did the wife ask Solomon to do this?
I fukken hated that scene in that movie. It was
and
.White people get to see their torture/slavery porn without the guilt.
That is why I kind of hesitant with Underground that tv show.
Too many "good" cacs and black brehs do the slave masters bidding by whipping slaves.

Only thing I disagree with was him not caring about slaveryAnd THIS is why these fukking movies are made.

I didn't ask him to go down there and free slaves. Or even go down there.
He knew slavery existed right? I'm sure there were all sorts of movements and speakers and organizations and leaders in the black community who did SOMETHING.
Now I didn't read the book. Maybe he was involved. But according to the movie he wasn't. And it didn't even seem like he gave a fukk
Now after he became a slave and was free. He suddenly gave a fukk and became the same person I'm referring too. What was stopping him from doing that prior? He just didn't care to
In the book she was jealous as hell of Patsey, just like in the movie. She hated her with a passion and wanted to see her dead.
""Nothing delighted the mistress so much as to see [Patsey] suffer, and more than once, when Epps had refused to sell her, has she tempted me with bribes to put her secretly to death, and bury her body in some lonely place in the margin of the swamp."
And my point is that the same thing can be said about every one of us who knows what's going on in this world right now, across this country and in Africa and the rest of the world too, but is just focused on their own life instead of dedicating themselves to the struggle.
Hindsight....
By virtue of being American you probably don't give many shyts current about sex slaves in Africa/Southeast Asia. You can fly to African in about the same amount of time it took to travel to the south from the north by horse and buggy.
The North and south were basically different worlds back then. Activism got nikkas KILLED, you can't blame the man for just wanting to live in his little corner of earth with his family in peace.
I have no idea why any black person in 2016 would actively go out and see yet another slave movie.My word
The hype is justified.
Brehs, I just saw 12 Years a Slave tonight. Words cannot explain the awesomeness of that movie. I just cannot
One of the most amazing films ever. I think the homie Steve McQueen is gonna get an Oscar. He the one
Chiwetel Ejiofor too
What a movie. Michael Fassbender
Best movie ive seen all year. This generation's Roots.
It should win a lot of Oscars. Not just for the acting and direction. The cinematography. The detail. I have not many words to say.

seeing as this was written in 2013 and not 2016, you are wrong there.
MOre importantly, this tired argument about "i am tired of seeing slave movies." In the history of American cinema, there have been under 20 slave movies in total. I am not sure how and why we as a people are tired of something we see infrequently and this country has done a great job of making people forget. So i dont see how a BLACK person can make a statement like this but then get upset that this country does not give proper attention to slavery.

My girl told me I couldn't pick another movie to take her to see after watching this in the theaters she was crying and was even more sad at the way it ended
Hell no
fukk that.. We are the makers, the owners and the cream of the universe.. We were much more then slaves..
We are the orginal people of this planet. The fathers and mothers of civilization..
Slavery is just one small speck of our existence which is timeless..
We have no beginning or ending..

what in the fukk does any of this have to do with the African American experience in America?
Slavery needs to be talked about and we need to make those evil devils apologize and pay for what they did.
This "there are too many slave movies" nonsense will always fall on death ears for me because there have not been many at all and white people been forgetting about it.
