LOWKEY The Ava DuverNay disrespect shows a lot of the problems in the bc

Not sure what this has to do with my point about black male representation in her films.

Have you seen her films?

Middle of nowhere? I will follow? Of course not
Shut up

 

[Luke Cage]

All the brothas that were in the film had strong roles

A black director should be able to do more than just have minor roles for brotha's in film. I can watch any white film and see a black guy as a side kick or supporting character.

So the mother made horrible choices? Is this the new narrative?

What?

Got called a c00n last night for the first time in real life

Middle of nowhere?

Did you really use this as example of a positive portrayal of black males?

Middle of nowhere? about woman coming to terms with her black convict husband going to jail?
this is exactly what i'm saying. I already get to see nikka's being deadbeats or locked up from white directors

Isn't this the same breh who said that he's not ugly enough to have black women checking for him?



Man, get the fukk out of here.

Black women are underrepresented in film, we should be celebrating the fact that a sista made a movie with a black young lead, when’s the last time you saw that?

Second, the point of the film was to empower women, especially young women and its celebrated for being a mostly female cast and crew. All the leading roles were women, all the men in the movie had small roles.

Sometimes I wish I was #teamugly so that I could be more pro black.

Girl, bye. Don't try and rephrase the shyt that you said.

You know what the crazy thing about ya'll saying this is she specifically made the father white because she didn't want to perpetuate that "black father not in their child's life" stereotype. Damned if you do, damned if you don't I guess.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but from what I've heard on and offline, he is not a deadbeat in any shape or form. So, that's bullshyt.

fine, i accept that. Like I said before, i'm not rooting for her to fail.

Man it's 2018, I don't know bout y'all but I'm off that black people hive mind bullshyt. I'm expected to support every black person white folks put in front of me, but the rub is that white folks only put black folks with destructive agendas in front of me.

Can't speak on this movie because it looks like it was made for preteen girls, therefore I had no interest in seeing it but I do know I'm bout sick of marketing campaigns and news articles that basically boil down to "you're black you should be doing/buying/voting/supporting (insert whatever b.s. they selling)"

Make a good product and collect the rewards, don't and you flop.

Ps after parting ways with "White daddy" Mark King, everything Oprah touches turns to shyt. She lucky as hell Tyler Perry saved her network and kept the value high enough for her to sell.

 

[Diondon]

I never disrespected the sista. If her shyt flopped (and I wasn't particularly interested in seeing AWIT) it flopped
She'll get more shots.
