Taking your Father out of the equation I disagree that the movie didn’t show him living life


Black men do not need to be told that our aspirations need to be set aside so we can enjoy a slice of fukking pizza. Hell even Joe understood this. Its not like he was some recluse living in his mother’s house sitting at the Piano all day. He had a job. He had friends. HIS teachings inspired others to follow their own dreams. So him working on the side to realize his own aspirations is the problem? That is complete and utter bullshyt.

The truth of the matter is that black men having goals is a GOOD thing. Defining your own purpose or “calling”, working towards that dream (whilst still living responsibly) and never giving up is something all black men would be blessed to have. The pursuit of goals ADDS value to black life. It shouldn’t take away from it. It wasn’t like Joe’s father was on some Joe Jackson shyt and FORCED Jazz upon him. He genuinely loved playing jazz. He loved the music. He loved having the opportunity to realize a dream he had WORKED towards and the movie robbed him of that.


Also don’t get me started on 22

She STOLE his body. Refused to give it back because all of a sudden after experiencing humanity she liked “living”. And at the end Joe was literally willing to be Bojangles to her Shirley Temple and escort her back to earth while he tap danced his way to the “Beyond”:gucci: Magical negro shyt if ever i’ve seen it.

If you ever have to try as hard to be black as this dude does you've lost in life.

I’m sure she’ll be fine :russ:


THAT fukkING SAID, it’s crazy how long she’s done this and there was never a “will Glenn get hers” campaign like there was for leo when that man has nowhere near the stripes she has and people acted like that man was on his deathbed

He crawled around in the forest for that shyt :gucci:
