But AFRO, no one is disagreeing with the FACT that HISTORY needs to be TOLD.

But you can't get so wrapped up to the point where all you want to take in are these SLAVE-TOPIC films. That's not a healthy balance.
You keep saying I wanted more slave topic films

I said I wanted stories about the Free People of Color of Louisiana.
Honey, they arrived from Haiti on their OWN terms, no shackles, coined up and were FABULOUS.









But it's still somehow connected to the SLAVE topic in a way.
It's too closely connected, IMO.

I don't know. I'm just not interested in terms of entertainment.
A Sunday night to learn more about history? Yes.
But... whatever.
They weren't slaves.
:udontlookok:

You're annoying me.
Cause u know exactly what I'm trying to convey in here.

Yet you're holding on to something that we ALL agree still needs to be TOLD and shared.

Are you truly content with just the HISTORY of? And not wanting to see new AA characters being told... OF TODAY?

I'm tired of the slave movies!

They never want to talk about the royalty! the triumphs of the BLACK ppl! always slave this, slave that! crimes! torture! I'm fucking sick of it. SHIT.

I think the problem here is that people assume anything having to do with our history is automatically slavery. :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:

There's so much more than that.

AFRO, please do not insult my intelligence.
:uhh:
That is not true.
Don't do that.


I'm just trying to understand because the Free People of Color in Louisiana were not slaves but yet you still say they were closely related to slavery.

It was a time period where slavery existed but if someone did a movie on their history in
America there wouldn't be a shackle in sight on any of them or their descendants.

This is why I'm confused like?????

But the story would be based on people who were FREE, during a time of SLAVERY... and there goes that word again... and oh yeah, another film in that vein, but with a TWIST!

Fuck you.
We all live in the same world.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to see new characters.
No matter what your race is.

Baby girl.
This forum is predominately black.
And I can only have discussions that come up in here.

But I'm done.
Because you are clearly immature with your choice of words.

I'm sorry you got offended.
Not my intention.
:wub:
We were having a mature discussion and I appreciate it.
I still believe in the history being TOLD. You taught me a lot in here that I didn't know.
And I also would love to see different stories being told, as well.

Love you.

even tho Snoop can't properly present what he's feeling ... maybe this will cause a movement

ppl the movies and what they write about is how they CURRENTLY view us!

Look. Nobody but Tyler Perry is writing you as a lawyer or investment banker! Even Lee Daniels is writing you as COONS who got lucky from music and running a damn Monkey circus and calling it a record label!

you guys wanna be the token or comedic relief your whole lives?!

you guys wanna be chased around master's mansion and whipped on film for the next 25 years?!

they want you in the FIELDS again

if they had their way you gorls would leave the damn movie theatre in chains!

they wanted you to watch 12 years a nigger, and take your asses str8 from the movie theaters to the damn fields!

I'd be ok with it if it weren't for the fact that the only way for multiple black actors to be cast in a movie where they take center stage is if it's about slavery, jim crow, gang violence, or Motown.

We need variety. I don't think we need to stop slave movies I just think we need more variety.
!!!!!

it's really been like the same mess over and over
