And ultimately it wasnt about the money it made.. it made serious money it was about the message.. Message was received the film was a success on many levels.

i like comics, i love the black lightning tv show, i'm probably gonna like this movie..i know reading the new BP series is on my to do list....


however...with it's growing popularity and trendiness...i've begin to notice an annoyance that i feel is getting outta hand.....

normally i keep shit like this to myself, cu know i can be a hater.... but when i saw this thread, i literally shouted a little, cuz i've been feeling this way for a minute......


it's gonna be a dope movie..... but let's not pretend it's the greatest thing black people ever done...especially during a time when we're supposed to be talking about the greatest shit black people ever done...

but i kinda feel like niggaz gonna nig regardless......but this one is a little but more annoying.....cuz niggaz couting this one as a win, when under closer review this is a L like a mtoherfucker.....

but not too many people gonna call it out

So your problem is it is being released during the month they give us to celebrate our history? I celebrate my history every day.

OK let’s talk about how many positive super heroes are in your face. I am not talking about the ones we found on our own because we research and study. I am talking about the ones that are in our faces daily. I am talking about the fact that in the train station this morning there were 4 posters.

you're right they're typically all white.....but the same white people pushing the black one now..to capitalize off of black people during black history month.....


and when i said images, i wasn't talking just images in movies and superheros on posters....i'm talking allllll images of black folk.....black people do a lot of positive stuff, and it often goes unnoticed.... but again....my argument is that during a time when black people usually get that spotlight....this movie ust happens to be dropping.....

the timing of it all added with the way folk are eating it up just screams out to me, and i'm speaking on it

What's funny about this is the same niggas bitchn' bout how it really black people profiting from it, be the same niggas shitting on Tyler Perry.

Perry built his own lil black hollywood in GA, but niggas stay shitting on him cuz he don't make movies you like. Which is cool, but the constant shit he always get is unnecessary, just say it ain't for me and keep it moving.

that's what i ALWAYS say about tyler perry, his shit ain't for me, but his hustle was immaculate, and he should be celebrated in black history month over tchalla

Real quick. there is a film called birth of a nation .. No not that one..

The film that was screened in the white house a fictional racist movie about savage black people with every nasty twisted imagination of the black American negro..this film was highly influential.. and just hearing about what was in the film was enough to help mass produce the perception of black people and the stereotypes that it helped spread..

Films, music,media have power

I see the point you're trying to make, that still doesn't make this movie a special moment for black people lol I'm literally "lol" at niggas really thinking this is something to celebrate

So maybe his wording is what your taking issue with.. i dont see it as a "special moment" per-say but it will havea net positive that special. this will do 3 films and be an inspiration to make even more films with a cast of negros thats projected out to the world at large thats special

Cause Tyler Perry makes movies where he portrays black men as low down evil mf'ers, fuck that nigga
 
The other day I was watching an African Martial Arts movie. It was what you would say corny. But I watched the entire thing and my wife looked at me like I was crazy. Then I told her I could only name 3 black men in martial arts movies Jim Kelly, Taemek and Kareem Abdul Jabar. Imagery is everything.

lol,

that's good for you, but most folk are very impressionable., easily influenced...the go with whatever is hot at the moment......and i see them getting really excited about a movie and associating it to a symbolism that i'm not so sure it truly represents

It's 2018!!! We (blacks) were doing better in the 90s, we're going backwards. Yall can't tell?

I ain't agreeing w/ much of what Goldie is saying but he is a 1000% right about this.

I could rattle off 20-30 black movies from 90-99 but from 2000 on"riight"

if it wasn't for Tyler Perry it would be looking shaky.
