The most fortunate people in the film industry are able to make the movies that are for financial growth while also make the movies for artistic growth. Michael b jordan seems to be in that zone a little.

@Pioneer1 So what your saying is, for China to be a competitor , or fellow master to the USA in your opinion, China has to be a greater engine of labor in china than the outsiders in china? Now I want it known, China's government spends a lot of money on infrastructure, more than any other government, including the usa by a long mile. The white man even admits this. China has the largest military of any government, including the usa, the white man admits this, ,which means meals/clothes/medical attention/housing which requires military infrastructure. Which means military labor like the usa's army core of engineers. It isn't private sector but considering how many fiscal poor people join the military in the usa, i figure it shouldn't be deemed whipping. China has more female billionaires than any other government including the usa. China's rare earth materials , mined by chinese on chinese soil, dominate the tech industry in humanities requirement of materials needed for all the technology being made. Not all chinese are being whipped by the government of china, while all governments china/usa/russia/france/south africa/cuba/mexico/brazil/vatican city whip people under their roof. Many chinese are millionaires plus billionaires, china spends money on exporting chinese to places in africa or south america , financing their lives and supporting their wealth accumulation outside china. China is whipping many under their roof,but they are also helping many under their roof prosper and considering that I live in the usa, a country which whipped and is whipping far more and with less rights under its roof while the british was number 1 empire or now that the eagle flies high, i can forgive china for its internal negativities, cause at least it has a nuclear arsenal which is why the usa can't invade it unlike mexico and it isn't forcing people into china to whip, unlike the country my forebears was forced into.. I see china as a fellow empire to the usa/russia. those three are the lone empires in modernity, all other governments today suffer those three. Comprehending that all governments want to be the number 1 empire, whether they admit or not.

@Pioneer1 just remember it is always bothways in humanity, meaning everything is always positive plus negative, it is never one way. Anything can lead to negative or positive , anything.

@Chevdove jasmine guy voicing a cruella deville-esque ethnic doll terrorizing some girl/family.. part of me want to see that film made, not for financial profit, but the art attempt:)

@Chevdove If you were in the creative control situation, you would had said for the doll to be non white european looking?

@Pioneer1 I do know that individual luck is not collective|communal luck. The luck that separated Jesse JAckson from Barack Obama is not the luck that separated Asanteman/the ashanti land from Ethiopia. Collections of people always have or have not opportunity simultaneously. As well as a mix of preparation or no preparation. The individual elements don't solely apply to collectives. TO be blunt, collectives have the factor of collective choices. Solomon Northrop being freed from enslavement you can say is opportunity plus preparedness though we all know not all free blacks who were exactly in Solomon Northrops shoes received the same fate. So... but, the luck of the black community in the usa has more factors that for solomon northup.

@Pioneer1 The answer to your question is yes. They are that financially successful . Black wealth isn't new in the usa, but it isn't common in the black community in the usa. It is far far from common. We black people know why. If over 95% of wealth is inherited in the usa, then how the hell can black people make huge gains. Our forebears didn't have money, they were enslaved and burned alive and sharecropped and imprisoned and cheated by white institutions, which includes the USA. All black people know this but since the usa was founded the black community, internally, in the usa has never figured out how to have one side that is pro usa and one side that is anti-usa.

@Pioneer1 I can provide my answers but I will not. But I will support your questions with the amendment. The problem is, in assessing human life collectively, what happens when people don't concur on what luck is. Individually it is easy. Why? even if you are unsure, whatever you think in the end, no matter it's quality, you can utilize to guide or support your own actions. But when human beings have to work in concert. variations will occur and when it comes to determining success anywhere in humanity or generating success anywhere in humanity as part of a group, said variations can be devastating. As the history in the USA prove.

@Troy I have no power to ensure anyone do anything online outside myself so to think on that is dysfunctional thus why i asked. you mentioned a comparison between the roman empire's length of duration and other empires. was I the first to mention a comparison of the roman empire's time of life to another government? You said Did I say anything like that in this comment stream before? Now the following was the comment I made that you replied with the above quote with I didn't compare empire's times to each other. I made statements opposing the position of yours that short sighted thugs used violence, using the USA, the government you currently live under aside others who use and used violence for everything they have. I was countering your position, but then you make a suggestion that didn't relate to anything I said in a reply to me. I don't comprehend why that keeps happening in this forum.

@Troy tulsa didn't defend itself, they were nonviolent and paid the price for it. I didn't argue the roman empire lasted longer than any other empire, the point was to emphasize an empire based on what you called, I Quote has a very lasting impression in humanity, that still permeates in humanity today, even though that empire is gone. But ok, don't reply.

@ProfD I will say I see the following of what you wrote as truth I concur, it is true that individuals are free to think individually, doesn't mean they are telling the truth. Nor is liking or agreeing a prerequisite to anything.

@ProfD And my point was maybe a platform isn't needed, greater individual quality can be the solution. They didn't just fight for the freedom, say the whole thing, they won it. And I as I mentioned before. And I oppose your historical assessment. Your suggesting that Haiti's modern and near modern financial situation is a reward or resultant for them using violence to earn freedom which no other black community in the american continent, which includes the usa , has ever earned from their oppressors. Your suggestion I view, I view, as a lie. Modern haitian fiscal situation is disconnected . It isn't a reward for earning their freedom. It is an inevitability to being surrounded by enemies. Haiti's problem isn't hard to comprehend. To haiti's north was the USA, a country founded on white power, white domination, or black enslavement. To HAiti's west was the british colony of jamaica which Marcus Garvey fled and used as inspiration for saying all black people of african descent in the american continent needed to return to africa, nonviolently, but immediately. To the east or south was various latin american countries where negras are totally dominated in the casta system where blancos are top mestizos are second and negras are at the bottom. Haiti had only one way to stop the inevitable financial attack from the outside and that was greater natural resources in haiti, but haiti is an island in the caribbean. IT doesn't have the natural resources to support itself like that. I am afriad to ask how many black children have heard the lie you have continually mentioned on here about haiti. it is false assessment historically. you have the right to make it, it is yours, I don't want you to change it, but it is false,. Your statement on oppression is disconnected to the point. Black people in haiti as in all countries have layers of oppressors. Haiti was able to be whites out of haiti but not the entire planet and unfortunately for Haiti, whites ran all of humanity except haiti. Well thank you. The truth is I don't see myself as a bad writer, but I don't like people assessing from my words falsely. Varying opinions is one things, but false assessments or lies is another, and I find in this forum, looking at many comments, not merely my own, 1+1=5 to often in multilogs in here. I don't think that sort of calculation is constructive, i think it is dysfunctional.

@Chevdove my pleasure if I helped. owned by a company called https://www.bytedance.com/ but they are chinese and privately owned. yes, Tik Tok is the usa version of what bytedance first created in china, a short video platform. Yes, tiktok realized what twitter did, people in modernity actually love to post short messages, not long ones, in all formats. The engineering challenge is allowing for a seemingly seamless short video collection. it requires a lot of computers and storage houses to make this work globally. Well, functionally their is no functional difference between any online media platform, twitter/youtube/tiktok/facebook all have the same goal, to get more users to use their platform. The only difference is in identity, all the major social media platforms are based in the usa , except for tiktok. In terms of attracting users, the question is the tactic they use. Twitter goes for short post, which focus on sensationalism and thus sharing. Youtube likes long videos where you can share films/documentaries, long media content. Facebook wants to be a place for it all. tiktok is short videos, sensationalism based. The internet isn't a lot, really. You may be surprised what isn't being done because little is financially profitable. The internet itself needed militaristic power, the natural resources for the underwater cable lines, the various personal devices, the data storage and server hubs all around earth to give the illusion of instant connection, came from countries that are known to be manipulated or exploited by outsiders since the 1800s . I think, I can be wrong, the source of the overwhelm is the advertising usage of the internet. It is the biggest commercial break you ever saw.

@Troy viability, a thing that lives. PEace or violence are always viable. and I quote myself I stated that black people in the usa used and had great levels of unity, used and lived by nonviolence , and achieved, reached. I didn't say nonviolence was inviable. I said nonviolence has limits. But violence has limits to. This is why the empire where the sun never set, had a setting sun. Violence has limits. When you use the word viable I think of the word safe. Tulsa's black community was nonviolent/unified but nonviolence can't protect anybody as they learned the most blunt way. And in the same way, violence is never safe. Violence always breeds pain or death more than anything else. But it also can breed levels of joy or freedom. tHis is why the only black populace in the american continent, from canada to argentina, to reach the highest levels of freedom was for a short time in haiti. They used violence, very unsafe, many haitians died, far more than europeans, but the win was something no other black peoples in the american continent ever had or have now. short sighted thugs... the roman empire lasted for 2,000 years the founding fathers of the usa , white men, started a global empire that is currently dominating humanity, itself led by white men, that you live in, whose wealth comes entirely from violent acts. the british empire made english the common language in humanity short sighted dumb thugs... if that is the way you see it, fair enough I didn't say violence or nonviolence held black people back. I said nonviolence has limits. All strategies have limits. As Frederick Douglass said unstraightly the Black community in the usa is doing exactly what he led it to do, to be part of a collective individualism. Most black people in the usa didn't want it then, most black people in the usa don't seem to comprehend it now. The USA Frederick Douglass wanted to be, which is why frederick douglass opposed black people being unified in all black towns in the usa nonviolently ala exodusters, is about individual ability, not collective. Frederick Douglass loved Black unity but he saw human unity as more important and the inevitable destination of a composite nation. And a main tenet to that path is non violence as a tactic. Black people in the usa are not being held back as much as they are on a path that will not provide what many of them think in terms of the black community. The white man will admit that the black community is only second to whites in all financial categories and considering the white communities wealth comes from violence and the black community is nonviolent, well, that will remain the way for the foreseeable future, but that isn't negative, if the goal is to be a country of many races. yes it is, but functionality is the debate, not unity. And the black community is functioning well, in the nonviolent context that it has positioned itself in. @ProfD I clearly am a bad writer as you or troy prove. and that is unfortunate for me. If you read my words you would had realized that I didn't suggest impotency on the part of the black community in the usa. The question is, does the black film industry in the usa need movie theaters? I Argue the black community didn't need movie theaters. Why must the black film industry have to work as the white one ? Again, OScar Micheaux to nollywood prove black people have been making movies over one hundred years. The issue isn't making movies or needing movie theaters. The issue is accepting the financial weakness of a community that has never used violent means for wealth in any grand way in the last one hundred and fifty years. I Argue, Black people's film industry shows viewing films in the home is the market , not in a theater. So, how many black customers buy black films to show in the home? how many black people had projectors or systems to view films. That is what the industrial review says, not mirroring the white film industry. I didn't say violence was needed to pool financial resources, I said certain goals will not be reached absent the use of violence. That is not the same thing but as I said , I am unfortunately a bad writer. Like nonviolence, violence is for any time or any place. THe question is, can one live with the sequences, pro or con, of either. Black people , don't know if most or minor, but definitely of a large percentage in the usa, are frightened of the consequence of violence , a well earned fear, but nonviolence has limits. and as I told troy so does violence. nothing grants you everything, nothing. The questions are what can you live with or what do you truly want or what path are you truly going toward.

@ProfD YEs but if you look at the history of black film from mischeaux to nollywood , black cinema has financed its own visions for over 100 years. But while the black community has written/directed/financed out own films , we do not have the power to dictate advertising or movie theaters. That requires a level of power that all black people know we didn't and don't have and the reasons have nothing to do with laziness or lack of ownership but our historic rivalry with the white community everywhere in humanity. There is limit to the nonviolent approach. And Black people who don't believe non violence has limits do the village a great disservice because it does. The Black community in the USA had an era of negro leagues where most owners were black, had and have historic black colleges- though most were never mostly financed by black people, have independent movie producers. But, Black people can't blame ourselves for not having the wealth of whites when black people know white wealth comes from the thing many black people keep uttering we shouldn't do, and that is violence. Black people want to have full control you have to have violence and all the potential pain or suffering as well as potential success or happiness that comes from violence. Black people have done nonviolently what we can but nonviolence has limits. And history proves me right.

@Pioneer1 the piggyback ride:) is for a performance in a theatrical play:)

I followed you @Troy The ban on tiktok isn't about tiktok but really what I call the internet wars. You probably know this as you do development of the website at least but all the major countries and some little one's dabble in meddling online and all to often the firms mask or are being infiltrated for various information gathering or destroying purposes. But, Tiktok is the first major non usa based userbase and thus the usa wants to ban it for until tiktok all major traffic for those who humanity who are online, which isn't all or most, was through a usa company that the usa government was fully in control of accessing their data. Now, the chinese have a foot in the usa and that is an e-war thing. The USA has foots in all the other countries online through usa based firms, but they don't want china or any other country to have a foothold in the usa. Simple. @Pioneer1 what can be found on tiktok is userbases. ... What you have to comprehend is userbases are currency. What does that mean? If I own a website and it has 60 million users, no bots, it may have 120 million users, including bots but that also means that the popularity of anything on my website will have farther weight than on another website with less uers. sequentially more advertisement money or profiles for organizations to get their messages out or make promotions. From forums to yahoo<emai>l to youtube<videos> to facebook<social media post> to twitter<short text> to tiktok<short videos> you have different websites that offered something that gave them a bigger userbase than the past leader. Tiktok has the advantage of being connected to china's internal userbase. Why does that matter? When the internet was first developed each country was given country codes. why? The idea was that countries will not be bound to each other and can develop their own internal internets while still connecting to each other. oddly enough, china is the only country to actually implement this in a complete way. yes, most major governments have their own internet, but most countries civilian populaces are not given their own proprietary network to utilize, it is an extension of the usa. And thus where tiktok is different. It is the first non usa based major userbase online. Yes, I didn't mention the short videos. The short videos was its catch, a very expensive thing which youtube was waiting to do but tiktok made them jump forward. Well, to your point about freedom of speech, these websites are expensive and they want to reach a wide audience and lawsuits can become messy. The reality is ,many lawsuits involve social media so most firms want to stay as safe as they can and that means restrictions. Tumblr is a great example, that isn't a major player and yet the involvement of the legal system caused shockwaves in that firm. For a website to allow for truly unfettered free speech they have to have a number of things. 1st) be in a country with a strong legal protection for free speech. I remember belgium/holland/switzerland websites tried to be that way but what was the problem 2) to reach a global audience is very expensive as userbases grow you need more and more data storage and more and more data servers to simulate instantaneous connection anywhere in humanity, the usa has that money, china has that money, the qatari's of uea's have that money but have populaces to small to need it. So, what you say will happen is inevitable but for not it to happen will require a level of protection from lawsuit which doesn't exist in the usa or a level of wealth from countries that don't have it. @ProfD you may not know this but a very large, what I call, unconnected community exist in modernity. Said community has two parts. The first part is the obvious, most in humanity are poor and are not online. That is a simple fact that most don't seem to comprehend. The second part are people in the wealthier places like usa/china/western europe/russia/ who chose to not be online at all. Not even one website, none at all. It isn't as small a populace as media may suggest. So your larger community is quite large offline completely or online with one website. Age has nothing to do with it. YOu may be surprised.
