I don't know his agenda but he has written a book that outlines a compensatory counter-racist code for dealing with the system of racism white supremacy. 😎

What is Neely Fuller's agenda? As for Lupita - she went to the source and filmed a documentary in what looks like 2019. But she didn't pull out of the film until 2020, as announced by JuVee, Viola's production company, when they announced director Gina Prince-Bythewood' would join the project. Maybe she pulled out of the film because of the director? I suggest scheduling. Maybe contract negotiations broke down. Maybe Viola's production company needed to raise more money to pay her salary. Perhaps she got COVID? Anyway, folks are so fickle. No one had a problem with the Black Panther film, a 100 percent black woman empowerment movie. The women were warriors, the women were technologists, and the women were necromancers... The women were 100 percent in control of every facet of Wakanda, and the men were mere figureheads, but no one seemed to mind. Anyway, suppose you go to timecode 36:48 in this film. Here, Lupita discusses Dahomey's human trafficking, and the women share how they glorify the warriors while honoring their loved ones who were harmed by the history...Lupita concludes the people are both warriors and victims. Much like how we Black Americans celebrate our excellence. Even though there are young Black men, who have been tried and convicted for trafficking our Black girls into sex slavery. She also says it wasn't the women warriors but the order of the King to traffic people into slavery. As I inferred in the beginning when asking about Fuller's plan. No one is one thing. We are all very much like the two-faced god Janus. Yet, only the adults in our culture understand this aspect of humanity. When Black people finally wake up to this part of human nature, we'll stop living through this perpetual "ground hog" day.

I read that Black Panther’s Dora Milaje regiment was inspired by the Dahome’s Agojie. No one threatened to boycott Black Panther yet this Twitter-conjured controversy is leveled against The Woman King. Why? Who cares why Lupita did not do the film? I have not read where she is asking people to boycott the film. This social media fueled controversy only serves the owners Twitter not Black people. Boycott Twitter not The Woman Kin 🙂

OK a couple hours ago I watched the woman King. It is simply the best movie I’ve seen in a long time. I would bet money it will be nominated for an Academy award for best film. it was a very entertaining movie. Well done on all levels. Again I am not watching a documentary and I understand it was for entertainment and again they did a great job. The notion that the movie is a hit job on black men is really ridiculous. The film was far better than black panther. By the way @Pioneer1I did not know that the Wakanda salute was based on an Egyptian practice. I’ll have to look that up.

Not that kind of movie to show Black folks loving each other. Considering the storyline, the woman warriors are fighting and killing men. However, the king (a dude) does have several wives. I know that would be right up your alley. 😁 But, there are no s8x scenes and the women aren't showing their breasts. Again, it's not that kinda film. Think along the lines of Wonder Woman minus flying and special powers. 😎

interestingly, the idea that a couple of white boys made up black Panther did not bother me for decades until after the movie was made and black people started running around acting like this was actual black history giving the Wakanda salute even going so far as to bitch, if it was done incorrectly (right arm over left). No we have a film actually based on historical fact — however loosely and people want to raise a hissy fit. What makes the Women Kling so much worse than Black Panther?

Oh WOW! Powerful and so true! @Mel Hopkins Interesting point. I have heard a lot of controversy about this movie. I read that the role that Viola played was first offered to Lupita and after she researched it, she refused to take the role, and I WONDER WHY!?

Seriously man one could ignore everything else that came after this statement as it relates to the film. That would be false. Reread the applicable part of Mel's post then do some more research. No, it is not. In my mind, Hollywood, on the heels of the success of Black Panther, came up with another idea to rake in big bucks, Money is their sole motivation. Any other consequences are purely incidental. All of the nonsense about pussyfing Black men is just conspiracy theories run amuck. I liked the film Black Panther, but I wasn't feeling Black people running around embracing the "culture" of Wakanda. Some were even trying to visit Wakanda. This revealed how needy we are as a people for positive images and how unaware we are of actual Black accomplishments. I think Woman King will be superior to Black Panther in that it is based upon reality, and, I'd be willing to bet, it will be more entertaining. Given the lead actress, a sister who can act her way from housemaid and a warrior. I'm looking forward to seeing it on the big screen and I'm sure I'll emerge with my manhood intact. @ProfD gotchu.

Nothing is ever accepted at its face value any more. "The Woman K I N G" can't just be a movie based on historical events that should be shared with the world. Instead it has to be relegated to something sinister; always a plot, a conspiracy, a scheme that embodies the ulterior motives of "THEY". Above all, - fuel for the insidious paranoia that permeates the mindset of those convinced they've "got it all figured out". 😴
