I've been meaning to check this post out. The list was an interesting compilation. I've seen and am familar with most of the films on it. Surprised there was no mention of any of those priceless all-black films from the 1920s and '30s written, directed, and produced by the legendary Oscar Marceaux (and which used to be shown on TV at one time) ) Also conspicuously absent from the list were any Tyler Perry "Madea" movies, some of which were as deserving as other entries they scraped the bottom of the barrel to include. I think Perry's special brand of humor deserves recognition. His Madea movies are in a class all by themselves, and certainly have a degree of authenticity. I just finished watching the recently released "Sinners" starring Michael B. Jordan, an excursion into the vampire horror genre. A very stylistic surreal outing. It got good reviews but I thought it could've benefitted from some editing. I also recently watched "Moonlight". I liked its off-beat plot and was riveted by the charismatic Mahershala Ali's screen presence. To me, however, the only thing some of the listed films had going for them was that they had all-black casts. And, too bad the movie she appeared in and won an Oscar for prevented Hattie McDaniel from being cited on the list. But "Gone With The Wind" and its romanticizing of the plantation days of slavery eliminated her from getting any props for how much she immortalized the black character she portrayed in this film classic. Btw, my movie-going experience dates waay back to my early childhood when my mother worked at the local theater and I got into the movies for free. I actually saw the "Wizard of Oz" when it first came out in 1939. This movie is still around enchanting viewers of all ages(as is "Gone with the Wind" which also came out in 1939) All of this contributes to my being a subscriber to the "Mandela Effect" because many if these old movies i now see on the TCM and Starz Encore channels are not exactly as I remember them, giving credence to the idea that I have shifted into a parallel universe where things are slightly different. This reaction being a variation of the "Mandela Effect". For a better explanation, Google "The Mandela Effect" or ask an AI search engine about this bizarre phenomenon many others have experienced in different versions.

Brother Muhammad quoted the Honorable Minister Farrakhan saying "whoever programs the diameter of one's thinking also controls the circumference of their activity." That's some heavy sh8t right there.😎

Wait a minute............ Ain't that the movie where Jamie Foxx and some other bruthaz were walking around the locker room naked??? I bet you DID love that movie, didn't you....LOL

It took me years to finally see it but when I did I loved it: FENCES Denzel did an excellent job directing AND acting in that movie. Viola wasn't bad either. Straight up FBA culture. If you are a Black American, that movie HAS to hit you somewhere. I wish my Parents were still alive because I would have loved sitting in the living room watching that one with Them over and over again.

52 shot and 7 dead doesn't read like impulse. My guess would be beefs and disputes. I don't believe these n8gglets are using registered and licensed guns to shoot each other. Gun control won't keep those weapons off the street. I believe guns that are not sold on the black market are being recirculated by dirty law enforcementt officers. Confiscated and turned in guns end up back on the streets. That sad reality has been ongoing since the late 1980s when murder rates skyrocketed especially due to folks selling drugs and settling their differences with firearms. Gang bangers took it to another level with their ignorance and foolishness.😎
