I thought I was the only one feeling this. That whole steeze, the trailers, posters, etc all scream out "Good white men verses crazed wild negros with guns and you know we'll prevail". I bet that was a easy sell to Hollywood brass

:stopitslime:
you brehs are strange. You all do know this actually happened? :dwillhuh:

Yeah I read about that too. Dude caused the whole situation and now gets all this praise. Ridiculous.

Conceding that he probably should've heeded those warnings....blaming him for causing the whole situation is a little ridiculous.

If a black kid in Alabama walks through a racist white part of town to get to school quicker, but gets his ass kicked by some white folk, would you blame him?

I dont find the poster racist:yeshrug:


However, I :ohhh:when hollywood decides to depict Black Africans as Black Africans in Africa, but we still got White European Jesse Pinkman and Christian Bale playing Black people in Africa...

this doesn't have anything to with the fact they have black actors playing the pirates

the issue is the fact they got them looking like evil monsters lurking in the back trying to kill the innocent white man

and you wonder why cacs are shooting down our kids in the street and getting off like Zimmerman
Nah, I'd say your reaching. The black guy is smiling :manny:
And while White people make excuses to kill black folk, they also make excuses for why they should be affraid of black folk
This poster is what your saying they "could use"

Well, if somebody got all that from that poster, that person didn't like black people before that poster
That poster isn't enough to sway an opinion is what I'm saying.
An ignorant person will use anything they can to push an agenda na mean...

:mjpls:

if he knew there was a good chance of getting robbed/ lynched ..if he ignored those warnings...yeah he might be at fault. Might get to school a little Late but he still all good.

Come breh I followed the entire story when it happened a couple of years ago.:stopitslime: and I used to read up on the Somalian government or lack thereof. they whole country was/is damn near a free for all state


-I'm actually a Tom Hanks fan btw..and of course there's going to be black villains, I generally don't have a problem with that. Denzel in Training Day, Black Hawk Down, etc.. But marketing and images this particular film displays makes my stomach turn

This story didn't need to get made into a movie. Its Birth of A Nation repackaged. But of course Tom Hanks is gonna merk his role and it'll be widely loved.
:dahell:

Birth of a Nation is not a real story.

And the movie touched on the poverty those Somalis live within.
