You being butthurt about the Oyo Empire being involved in slavery holds zero relevance to the Amazons being an elite unit of fighters. The fact that you would even hide behind "historical inaccuracies" when the real problem you have is them being on screen at all is soooooooo transparent breh.
I've posted up an NPR website that supports my point. You can also easily look up what the Dahomey's main export was to Europeans. Plenty have also posted up here the truth too. So your argument is pretty darn disingenuous about this issue, and exposes that you were never being honest about your reason for supporting the film in the first place.You haven't explained how its inaccurate. You're just butthurt that they're telling a story about the Dahomey Amazons.
They existed breh
That's like boycotting the Aztecs because they ate people's hearts and killed everybody.
and how can an African living in NorCal sur rounded by a bunch of Asian & Mexicans … can grow up around/with more Black people …. than an ADOS/FBA from Edenwald project in da Bronx
Yet the very people trying to defend this movie claim it is addressed in the movie. Which is it? Make it make sense. Imagine going to such great lengths for a movie written by white female cultural imperialists who intend to use Africa as a come up no different than their white racist ancestors. I just can't imagine being this butthurt on the behalf of a cac and in service of a cac. I just can't.
It is the primary focus because it is the root of how the amazons came to be. Their origin has no place or is not important? lol. They would not exist were it not for slavery. It is also one of the driving aspects of the film. Misrepresented to make the women look better but exists all the same. So you're now lying, being more pressed than hooker's mattress and all kinds of mad about a movie written by white women, a movie where they misrepresented African history and then claim you want more of that misrepresentation. Think about it: You want more cacs mistelling black history for their gain and you see nothing wrong with this and are acting like an attack dog in service to them. Amazing. Your father failed you and your mother failed to abort you.The movie is not about slavery. Its about the Amazons. So yes nikka.....common sense tells you there will be a line or a scene about slaves but, its not the primary focus of the movie you retarded fukk.
Got a nerve to have the name High Art
But can't compartmentalize your personal feelings.
I want to see African history. So the world can get used to seeing African stories on screen. Shaka Zulu. Great Zimbabwe. Mali. Ghana. Songhai. Ancient Egypt. Ancient Nubia. Ethiopia. But I can see you fakkits picking apart each movie because there's going to always be something wrong that was done.
But ignored.
Yes, the narrative that they were slavers into the narrative that they are fighting for freedom. That is a big darn change, and one that many Black Americans do not see as being worthy of supporting, especially when some of our own ancestors were the ones who were exported to Europeans by them.
The Amazons that participated in enslaving people and selling them to Europeans, not changed to be a freedom fighting group defending their nation from White people. So the movie is a misrepresentation of a tribe that sold some of my ancestors into slavery, yet for some reason some of you feel we who do not desire to support it are wrong for actually taking the side of our own ancestors in this. Amazing to say the least.The movie is not about slavery. Its about the Amazons. So yes nikka.....common sense tells you there will be a line or a scene about slaves but, its not the primary focus of the movie you retarded fukk.

Oh shyt. The the screen play is written by a White woman, lol. They kept parading around a Black woman, but the actual screen play written credits are going to a White woman named Dana Stevens.It is the primary focus because it is the root of how the amazons came to be.
