We're not talking about ANY Black director. We're talking about those on Spike Lee's level, who could make movies that HIT you in the right spot. Nobody makes a movie like Spike Lee. Notice how after Spike Lee's version...nobody has made a Malcolm X movie since. We've always had Black film makers....... Besides the ones you named we have Tyler Perry, the Hughes Brothers, Eddie Murphy, Ice Cube, even Denzel dabbled a little in the directing business. But none of them have that "guarantee" effect that Spike has. There was a saying back in the day that if Spike Lee made a movie you were going to see it anyway because you KNOW it's going to be good. It's a guaranteed success. Coogler is now in that upper echelon with the likes of Spike.

This sounds like something right up @aka Contrarian's alley.....lol. She loves laying on the couch and looking over at the television watching shows about handsome Black men and rich Black folks who live behind gates.

Although some slaves were brought DIRECTLY to the American mainland, most of them were first brought from Africa to the West Indies to islands like Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Haiti/Dominican Republic, and Cuba.....to be "broken". There was a PROCESS in turning proud civilized cultured Africans into "slaves". A process that often involved generations. Making them eat certain types of food, depriving them of their native languages, and forcing them to engage in weird sexual activities. There is a book about it that was out years ago called "64 Years To Make A Negro".

He is definitely an avatar for white power and supremacy.😎

…and Trump is the culmination of our hubris and greed.

You are welcome @Chevdove. Yeah, the planet was here long before humans and will almost certainly be here long after we have gone extinct. A relative "blip" on the Earth's biosphere. Humanity is largely responsible for a loss of about 50% of all the biomatter on Earth since in the last century -- that is a pheromonal stat. It seems like every living creature would be better off without the presence of humans. As far as I can tell, we do nothing to benefit the plaent's ecology.
