The Woman King debuts at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Two things stopped Dahomey. The American Civil War and the European Kings decision to invade and colonize Africa.

Once the American Civil War started Dahomey had no other place to sell people. That and the English and American blockade of West Africa ended Dahomey's reign of terror and they could buy no more arms from the Europeans because the Europeans were planning on invading and didn’t want to face well armed opposition.

Interesting re the US Civil War

Weren’t Cuba and Brazil bigger markets?

 

[that guy]

Make a movie about John Horse and the Black Seminoles or The Haitian Revolution. But I know Hollywood won't touch that history.

And it damn sure wouldn’t get a %100 rating. Remember what happened when the movie was made about nat turner birth of a nation

This is why melanated people can not coexist peacefully with caucasions. We will constantly be subjected to these types of psyops.

Not only elevating the women in order to emasculate black men and create gender divides but also celebrating tribes that sold Africans into slavery to promote the played out “Africans sold each other into slavery” deflection.

Sad movies and stuff has to be political....

 

[MischievousMonkey]

They want y’all to blame Africans for slavery instead of cacs. Dahomey isn’t totally innocent but they were selling POWs and didn’t know how cacs in the west were treating them

Instead of attributing blame, we can acknowledge that the slave trade was a dual partnership between European and African participants resulting directly and indirectly in the suffering of Africans at large.

Beware of the bots and ops.

Whitlock and nasheed pushing that shyt

The only good female movie is Kill Bill

My favorite movie of all time

It’s just a good ass movie that movie could be just as stellar if they swap it and made it a man. The plot would still be the same .

No weak ass “women king” agenda

The Woman King Softens the Truth of the Slave Trade

The Dahomey had fierce female fighters. They also sold people overseas.

How yall feel?

I have no interest

They were not just selling POWs. They were also kidnapping and selling different ethnic groups from nearby villages that they were not at war with.

They knew how the White men were going to that the captured people but those bum ass slave catching nikkas didn't care. Those bum ass nikkas saw men and wom getting brand and beat right on African shores but those bum ass nikkas didn't care. There are no difference between slave selling nikkas and drug dealing street gangs. They both mean misery and death for regular Black folks.

A lot of people don’t know this also. They would host the cacs in these massive houses for a while to rest before getting back on road and bring them virgin black girls every single night to r@pe . And these the folks we supposed to see a movie about as they are show as heroes

Look at the people on either side and judge for yourself

How yall feel?

Black women are so easy to fool with false representation. Just throw in #blackgirlmagic and you can have their money and votes

 

[Cornershooter]

Apparently the movie addresses exactly that part of Dahomey's history Now who to trust?





That's what happens when you sanitize the trailer and try to make it look like some pro-black flick Could have thrown a line in there showing what's what

They knew that they needed to trick you to get you into the seats
