what is the next big event in the year @Troy?

@richardmurray The point in my questions wasn't in any answers to them. that is why i said. You accept all the questions I answered have an answer on the internet or in some book but I argue all of those questions have multiple acceptable answers. And that is my point about what you quoted. The usa is a country of fiscal capitalism , a system that generates fiscal poverty by default, by default. it isn't unnatural or government agenda or government allowance for fiscally poor people to be in any fiscal capitalistic country. It is natural for fiscal capitalistic countries to have mostly fiscal poor. I use NYC as the easiest example. NYC has always been mostly fiscal poor people from the time of new amsterdam to today, through all the financial ups and downs of the city [gilded age/pre 1920 stock market crash/1980s / 1950s post world war NYC was mostly poor people for all the financial opulence in the stated areas]. The reason is simple. The fiscal capitalism in NYC. So to use the words in your question, I personally never blamed and do not blame fiscal poor people for being fiscal poor in the usa or any fiscal capitalistic country. As MLK jr said , a video i posted a few times in this community, I couldn't find the post so I shared it direct In a country where 90% of fiscal wealth is inherited, I find it odd that black people whose forebears were enslaved thus could offer no fiscal inheritance need the video above said in various forms over and over. and yes, to your point, most whites have no inheritance either, but the problem is phenotypical bias played and plays a role in the history of inheritance to blacks sequentially, phenotypical race makes poverty like all other issues in the usa a split issue. and please check your private messages troy

Well...from the quote you shared @Troy my problem is the perspective of the author? The first question in my mind is all the terms he uses. Are they truthful/functional/Lies/half truths and if so what is the truthful part? What makes the usa the richest country on earth? define riches to any country? if china is the second richest and the usa is the first then define riches? What defines an advanced democracy? a rule of the people that used to be before , a rule of the people for the future, is advanced democracy? does that apply to the usa? or the others mentioned aside it? Is that a wish or a hope or the truth? Does the usa government allow fiscal poverty, or permit people to live in the streets? Or is poverty or people living in the streets natural to the usa ? Is a legal interpretation of the usa allow for the usa to be deemed allowing poverty? Who are the children of the usa? Are the children of the usa, citizens of the usa? how do the people who live in the usa feel toward the usa? does that matter? do those who live under a government viewpoint matter? how does go along with the rule of the people assertion? Does the usa government authorize firms to pay laborers less than to live on? Gardless to the authors or anyone elses answers of said questions the author's perceptions to said questions are mandatory before he begins the book.

@aMhayes Well, based on what you said, people in government have been lying or making policies based on lies, and lies have consequence eventually. NY city is a prime example. WHo told NY city to be a haven city? NY city has always been mostly poor people, always, not sometimes , always, yet adding more poor people is smart? NY City used to have a bread factory, used to have a multitude of industries, didn't keep them? So who is to blame ? Eric Adams says the immigration is a federal issue. but, ny city through management of both parties of governance lying about the situation of the city is what led to this situation. Truth may not be pretty or simple or desired, but government by lies always leads to chaos.

@aMhayes well am*zon allows for free excerpts, link them. I think a a collaboration will be cool. I have thought about the writers on aalbc doing a book together, each making one story. We can make it free and publish it across platforms, thus we each can highlight aalbc and carry our fanbases to each other. but I have only considered the all

@Pioneer1 Exactly , exactly. The point is whomever is the producer, can override directors /actors or anyone else... the money is in control. I comprehend your point completely. If I was the producer of the upside I still would do what i said. but, in parallel, as producer, if I had five movies that I was certain to finance and begin preproduction in 2024, none would be like the upside. My five would be: 1) a high john the conqueror film[you will not want to produce this] - animation +fantasy 2) a fantasy film concerning ancient nubia- fantasy+history+live action 3) I admit, a science fiction film of my own writing:) 4) a film copying the basic idea of blood syndicate of milestone [you will not finance this film and will probably speak against it in media:) ]- superhero+action 5) and while I don't care to remakes in general. I am a big fan of three the hard way, not a fan of dolemite, so we can co produce, a new three the hard way. action film, live action In things I would like to produce I have preferences. And i prefer, more positive depictions of black people than in the upside than in white produced media. What you have to comprehend is I grew up with positive black images in media. I realize you and most black people sadly didn't, but I did. And I would oppose financing a film where a black billionaire helps a white felon. Not my money. well, to the films that involved black people in the 1970s. first, most of those films were written or directed by whites. I made whole post in this community, But from a fiscal perspective, most were what we will call today independent films. What i think you miss is that as black wealth in the usa increased, the larger studios made black films, but larger studios come with a less genre based style. You talk of three the hard way, that movie wasn't made by paramount or disney or mgm or universal or 20th century fox or columbia pictures. Sweet sweetback independent, distributed by small distributor. Cotton comes to harlem, samuel goldwyn, small producer Shaft which is from a white author which black people seem to not realize, was small too, mgm distributed. but they didn't finance. foxy borwn, american international pictures, again small uptown saturday night produced by first artists cooley high, american international again corn bread earl and me, american international Even the wiz was produced by motown , distributed by universal sparkle was independent like sweetback superfly was independent produced, warner bros distributed. So I hope I proved my point. You speak of the 1970s films usually financed or written by whites that involve black characters, but most of the post 1980s films that have black characters are not produced by small studios, these are major studio films and with that comes a different angle. Major studios are not going to make films like small independent studios. That has always been the truth. And to be blunt, black movie goers, don't help. whereas black movie goers in the 1970s were willing to see superfly. They were not as interested in low budget meteor man I think no less quality than foxy brown but had an epiphany with black panther. So independent films don't resonante with the modern black film going audience as in the 1970s. @ProfD I have been fortunate to learn a little bit about the film industry. The blunt truth is, Oprah/Pioneer or anyone black could produce that movie. I know it could be produced in NYC 100%. 100%. Now would it be circulated in theaters, advertised all over the world? that requires far more money than making the film in a lot of cases. Making films is in parts. Getting the money to finance to make a film is doable, even for black wealth. But getting the movie advertised plus shown is .. expensive. The barbie movie for example, spent more money on the advertisement and campaigns than the movie. And, to the OWN network, well, networks work by advertisers. The OWN network is a poor example to use. But, online their are film hosting sites for nollywood or owned by black people. They could easily host the film. But will it get advertised. Will people buy subscriptions for this one film. I don't know. BUT, the film, black billionaire+ white felon, can be made. Remember, white man's burden 1995 is functionally in the same zone as the film pioneer1 talks about producing. MAking films is not as hard as people think but it is the adveritising, the showing all over the world which is very expensive, really doubles the money and for non special effects laden films, most producers/advertisers/accountants will oppose as the revenue on return is usually calculated as not good enough

@Pioneer1 It's funny, in the movies that move we review, Nike seconds your sentiment. This is based on a true story, which was made into a french film and then a usa film. In france as in the usa, labor is designed to place people based on phenotype into a solid form, a stereotype. In the real story, the french film or the usa film a key plot point is that he is an exconvict who through opportunity , a rare thing given to exconvicts the world over, is lifted. If you ask me, does the upside film continue the stereotype of financially downtrodden black men in white european produced film, not all media,not all types of produced film, but white european produced film? yes. Now I could argue black people need to stop watching white produced film if they don't like how white money usually accepts portraying blacks but... I find all the black images i need in black produced artwork: books/music/graphical representatons/film I don't require white produced art to show black people positively. Sequentially, for me, black excon's isn't a stereotype in the media that matters most to me. If you ask me, if I was the producer , would I demand the story plot point remain the same? yes. I would not accepted writers making kevin hart a construction worker recently laid off or a college drop out. Not my produced film. Maybe cause in NYC I know fully well what incarceration has done to the black community in NYC, I like a black man from prison, getting opportunity, and using it successfully to a positive end. If a writer says to me, the producer, the money, they want to change kevin hart's characters background to a college dropout or construction worker laid off, I will reply no way. A white excon is able in real life but in fiction a black excon can't? I don't like that messaging and not with my money. If you, Pioneer1 are the producer of said film, based on your words, and with the only change left you can make to manipulate kevin hart's characters background, you demand writers make kevin hart a construction worker laid off or college student dropped out, am I correct? your answer in comments please my evidence cause I know among black people in the usa, this is always needed. https://www.gala.fr/stars_et_gotha/abdel_sellou

@Pioneer1 I quote what you said that was wrong... in my opinion

@Chevdove it is in the fiscally rich man meets the fiscally poor man mold. It is meant to be a feel good. I can tell you without unveiling the story that in the end, all the main characters and the subsequent characters are happy, deservedly. @ProfD yeah, well it's a feel good film. It isn't mean tto show much hardship but really overcoming with a happy resolution for all @Pioneer1 This film isn't a comedy. this is a feel good film. There are comical moments but even those are in an unfunny premise. Your wrong, the subtext of the film is how people going through different struggles can help each other. In the end of the film, Hart has reversed his fiscal level from the beginning of the film absent any illegal or criminal activity. Did you even see the review?
