Since the birth of cinema, race relations have been depicted front and center even as Black Americans were left out from telling their story. The problem still exists today.

Another story: As an aspiring aerospace engineer some classes got to design and build models for the wind tunnel. As a special project one group build the Hindenburg as it appeared in 1936 with swastikas and Olympic rings. A Jewish professor was not pleased and the era appropriate decals removed. I know why… but we didn't get to have any say in the issue. I once asked my daughter's friend about the Nazi eagle on her t-shirt; she didn't know anything about the history just thought the symbol looked cool. (SS did have cool uniforms… as despicable as the mindset was…)
You watch them. You reflect on differences. Easy.
We should Cancel them 🤪
If you don't like these other Black Films, don't watch them. Simple. Those Black Actors opened the door to others. You will not have Eddie Murphy or Steve Harvey if not for Red Fox or Richard Pryor.
Historic for who? I don’t care for relics of a racist age.
Pretty scary. All those Democrats in white sheets.
How do you handle it? Don't watch.
Parents are just letting their kids go by themselves into the United States.
The same United States that is racist and unsafe. Where women are paid less than men. Where the color of your skin determines your outcome.
The people that read this and don't realize the sarcasm and irony intended, are stupid and ignorant.

Remember… you voted for this.
Black panther was an overall good film but that movie is flawed no matter of importance it may seem to the black community. Black panther could've helped out the community starting with his surroundings in Africa and even more so it was more of a cultural saving that people needed in that universe.
Get out was boring thriller that left more to be desired although it's twist was ruined by it's trailers ,it still maintained a engaging premise.
Although it does present the statement that these are good made flicks.. it doesn't hold significantly to better film making that'll hold to the test of time. Although there is no dought that a black director and cast will one bring about a film that will leave it's mark for decades to be praised. This really shouldn't be something to be clinging on towards a more progressive society for every topic. The real problem is amongst everyone and everything that culture, among society, class, and rights that affect and causes a great issue that many fail to pinpoint that disaspline and upbringings can forever forge a different future of it's predicessors to further know that mentality better suited is
Frankly I don't give a damn approuch towards life better suits me. There is wrong and right and sometimes there is no distinction but to have common sense might enlightened your life if you'd only see that all of your colors don't compare as to seeing the sky take different forms with color amongst the cosmos that yet bring forth the only truth in mind. We are free to pursue yet bound to our own prison.
Black-people are not the only one rap . Women of all race are treated as property, get paid less than a man. Women are the base of the family caring for their children plus working a job. Yes they help build American. Did not get to vote until 1920. Women rights it still a struggle to day.
I dont share or have your current values
When you cancel and hide, no one learns anything.
If you're triggered by ancient movies then you need help.
As a screenshot capture of old thinking and, hopefully, not current thinking
I like history films, they remind me how we started , but now these days
the people has gotten to far with greed, anger, and racist, when all we
need to do is love one another and stop being selfish ❤️
History has not been kind to many racial groups, not only the Blacks. Gone with the Wind was written to depict the Civil war and the loss of thousands of lives on both sides. It was written by a white woman and it would be interesting to read a depiction by a black historian.
GWTW was full of caricatures– not one of them resembled a real person, black or white. It was an overblown, dramatic, romantic epic– that's why it was so great. But if you want to talk representation, Mammie and Big Joe, both black, were the most sensible characters in the whole film.
When you don’t like something, turn it off; don’t spend your stimulus money on it, go buy a flat screen. Opps, forced to see it again……
You don't… So what's done is done. The question that you should be asking/thinking?+!… #1:What should we/you/I: do when I've now seen what's really in your heart… #2:Do all people's really changed for the good?. #3: What does the Hebrew Bible; really mean in it's precepts on IYYOB: ch 9 vs 24
Remember if you don't stand for the Truth. Than you shall fall for anything.
Da End
You're Welcome
Now we have to love all black made movies even the bad ones.
We use them to discuss the flawed values of the past and we learn about why and how the values of society continue to change.
