  1. Title: You're Fired Author: Richard Murray https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/You-re-fired-934205908
  2. @Chevdove oh, well glad I informed:) it was a great documentary film. was fair to mom's mabley. For those who love comedians it is a gem. In my assessment of history , east africa or west africa had black people involved in stealing other black people. For me, I don't find insult in the dahomey female warriors. I have known about them since I was a kid. I knew they served the king of dahomey, who legends say, was presented as a boogeyman to the children of west africa. This is again an ancient thing, common throughout all humanity, usually unbounded. Anyone can be enslaved in dahomey, just like in the roman empire, just like in qin, just like in tenochtichlan. The American continent post 1492 was the first place that made slavery bounded. All of a sudden, a white man , no money , illiterate, alone, can not be enslaved. In the roman empire, he would be enslaved. Someone would catch him. If any group that dealt with high volumes of enslaving other individuals can not have a movie made about them then, no movie should be made concerning any history before the 1900s. And then the question is, why should the black communities old or ancient slavers be undepicted while everyone else's is? But comprehend Chevdone , I know your thinking. I am not saying I concur to your thinking but I comprehend it. Al sharpton who I strategically oppose, said a simple truth, about Black people committing violence in the USA, if you are going to preach nonviolence you have to be nonviolent yourself. it is lead by example. It means black non violent leaders chastise black people committing violence. It doesn't mean other communities follow yours or follow the black community. It means you don't just talk the talk, you walk the walk, and demand others in your community do the same, no matter the outcome. Black statians from Frederick douglass onward has always upheld the idea that government protected universal individual rights is more important than black advantages. It isn't that they hate Black collective or communal activity, but their idea is, even if Black groups are poor , if all Black individuals have a platform to positive, that can make everybody in the black community positive even if the black community collective management is poor. I comprehend why this beautiful film, in art or production, in my view, is insulting to you. It isn't just slavery, it is black people involved in it, like an everyday. You like quite a few others in this forum champion government protected universal individual rights, by default slavery allowed under any government means that government does not protected universal individual rights, and I comprehend why you have such negativity to that.
  3. @Chevdove yes and all to often independent film makers don't list the money they borrowed for a film. Which can be done against their name. When whoopie goldberg did mom's mabely film she needed crowdsourcing and people were surprised. what they didn't realize is that even though she was the executive producer she needed loan money she couldn't get for a mom's mabley film. I don't imagine many bank executives knew of mom's mabley. right and lupita is from east africa, not west africa. she has a more regional connection to the slavery activities around zanzibar or other muslim states in or around east africa. Which most black people in the usa are very unfamiliar with.
  4. @ProfDtrue words @Pioneer1 yes proves times do change for the better
  5. When do you think the average woman in the usa had her first orgasm? When do you think the average woman in humanity had her first orgasm? https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2121&type=status
  6. For anyone who didn't know, Lupita Nyongo has no problem with the woman king or the movie from natalie portman that she dropped out of. She just wants medium to smaller film projects to be a part of,independent films saying different things. That makes sense, she didn't want to be part of the Legend of the Dorie Malaj aka The Woman King. MEaning what? Lupita knows this movie is made cause of the very popular dorie malaj of black panther. Viola Davis didn't produce this movie all by herself. And like Natalie portman's movie, whatever it is, it is probably a similar theme thing, like maybe a female superhero story. https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2120&type=status @Troy to answer your question. The Woman King will win academy awards. The fight choreography/viola davis lead female/maybe the film of the year itself, but the year is long. Everything everywhere all at once has a shot at film of the year too. Brad pitt's train film and maverick have chances too. To black people looking for wakanda in real life, I think you miss the larger question. How many black people in the usa like it? It seems in my mind an obvious question to ask , and one that is historically providing mostly a negative answer from black folk. I realize many black people have come to terms with the usa or more positively , but I find said black people have a hard time comprehending many black people are not happy in the usa and , because all the historical railroads out of the usa were never as comprehensive or as fruitful as they needed to be, black people in the usa have many members who are looking for a land to escape the usa the way the white religious outcast or fiscal poor fantasized about the usa to escape abuse in the united kingdom. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, for black people in the usa, all of earth has been occupied:) so, no lands to easily take from another human people's who are biologically untouched by a virus we carry or ignorant to weapons we may wield.
  7. @ProfD yes, I am not suggesting you are blowing smoke or making fires. I said dangerous as in the danger of misinterpretation. which happens to everyone online, no matter what anyone say. I just feel Lupita's point is ...nothing is inherently wrong with whatever anyone chooses to do, that everyone wants to make a proud body of work or be successful.
  8. @Chevdoveexactly, the role wasn't right for where she wants her career to go, she wants to do smaller films, independent films. And she is right, as I know, from personal experience, the entertainment world has become very hard for new things. The entertainment world makes it very hard for writers/artists/musicians who are not doing the big budget work. I respect lupita for wanting to be part of those projects. and offering the chance for unknowns to get high profile opportunities next to viola davis or natalie portman. @ProfDyour word choice is dangerous. Lupita wasn't suggesting what she is doing is better or worse than anybody else, she said she is using the ability to choose what she wants to do. She didn't suggest it will yield betterment, she wants it to but she didn't say her choices must. and to any, can we get an apology for Viola Davis... people used the false claim that lupita nyongo had some negative personal issue to viola davis connecting to some inherent black on black crime in the woman king, all false, all lies, and spread so much ahhh
  9. Lupita Nyongo also said no to Natalie Portman so Nyongo wants to guide her career a certain way. No black on black hate.

  11. @Chevdove yes, I saw this story in the local paper with details. I have been busy creating so I didn't share it, but I knew. The entire story exposes the reality of public officials . in a city like los angeles that is publicly deemed a place of multicultural unity, it shows the truth, absent the camera and the internet media, all the peoples in the usa can't stand each other, shame people in the usa are too cowardly to admit it

  16. many black artists drawing black people exist in deviantart. @Pioneer1 if you want me to link a few to you i will.
  17. @Pioneer1 I argue , all of the Black people you say are working , need to stop feeling bitter or used or abused by Black people they feel are not working and focus more on communicating with each other and doing more in their smaller group. I give the example below to troy. @Troy White jews are white but they work well in themselves. The key is not that white jews act or desire individualism. Individualism has fatal flaws for any individual. But, they comprehend that a subgroup can be effective in a group. White jews work for their group in the white community. And they are disliked by other white groups, even today as the news clearly shows. Yes, some people, not necessarily most, in the usa are trying to make a culture of individuals who are unbound by communal chains absent the one communal chain no human can eliminate and that is humanity itself. But some people, not necessarily most, in the usa want the usa to remain a place where one group is above all others. Who will win that war? I do not know. @ProfD As I stated in this very website. In NYC, white jews have private schools that have completely neglected white jewish children and yet, when outed by media for this educational failing. which many black people in this community deemed the sin of sins. All the members of the system defend the white jewish community. What is the point? the point isn't about power or money or education but truth...It is the black community in the usa's unwillingness to accept the truth. We are a people in the usa who come from those who never wanted to be in the usa. We as a group or individually have no obligation to support any position in the usa or the usa itself. We can but we are not obliged. And in that freedom we have always had varying groups in the usa that can not work together functionally cause what they want is counterpose. But while we don't have the power or money, we can be honest. It does not take power or money or education to be truthful to oneself. To many black individuals or groups in the usa spent and spend too much time telling other black individuals or groups how they need to be like them, or telling them all is right if not for this or all is wrong if not for that. Find black people you are similar too and make what you are working on together better. Here is the article https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2064&type=status To any who read this I always ask black people online or offline to join this website. But I never call them names if they don't. They are not ignorant if they don't. They are not lazy if they don't. They are not uneducated. They have the right to not believe in something. Second only to the NAtive American, Black people in the USA should know better any other that results are a better proof than any speech or regaling. And if I want better results in this website then I have to work to make it better, regardless of Troy who owns the website or any other member in it. And in making the website better, people will come. I can fail or nothing can change, but that isn't the people's fault. The key is to keep improving what the group you are a part of in the village is trying to do, and the village will be best when all groups thrive, which will happen one day.
  18. hhaha nothing:) @Pioneer1 I only did it cause others shared to me, to be blunt, my offline connections all shared various posts to me, that is how that titty tuesday search thing started:) but since you asked, I will share an entry from my black models/photographers series https://richardmurrayhumblr.tumblr.com/post/695510103117496320/model-ms-erin-mist-photographer-bymrjp-jp
  19. @Chevdove what i forgot to think about to the purposes is the negative internet industrial complex. Meaning, the reality is, negativity makes money. it is the simple truth. Rush limbaugh i never cared for but he did comprehend a simple truth in modern media. Which I can prove through reactions to various posts in various places online. positive post never get the reaction negative posts do, it is the simple truth. People can argue the computers heuristics are weighted towards the negative but I am not certain. If I make a blog: Women Are Bitches #youknowWAB many people connected to me will probably disconnect but the reality is, regardless of what I truly think, if I keep up that messaging, men will reply, your right rich and women will reply, f- u Rich! and thus the storm is made between two mobs that can only grow as long as I maintain the theme and don't betray it. Those are the rules to the NIIC , 1)never betray the negativity - look at limbaugh or schrumpft, never do they give up on it. And that includes sensationalism. if on my blog women are bitches, if i say , on the hundredth day anniversary I will expose the three biggest bitches in the world. whomever I name doens't matter, the sensationalism matters. if someone asks me, what about my mother. i have to call my mother a foul name. why? because that is staying loyal to the negativity. 2)do it as much as you can, daily, hourly, secondly, look at Schrumpft on twitter. I never followed him on twitter but I knew people offline who did, or was acquaintance to people online who did but the thing is, both sets of people said they hated/disliked him. but the question then is, why follow? And the answer is simple. they love to argue, to be part of a mob.and they know that like the reformation the counter reformation is always right behind so people like schrumpf or others who peddle in negativity, always create two groups, that are very vocal online.The group that supports them and the group that opposes them. And this connects to the woman king. Negativity concerning the woman king film is attracting users online likes bees to pollen. And I even argue that viola davis may have aided and abetted this, by replying the way she did. In the same way I think jk rowling did with her continued replies with the lgbtq+ community. I do think people like to play the opposite of limbaugh's and schrumpfts and not start the mob but give it breadcrumbs. People will analyze every posts viola davis makes and dissect it concerning the woman king. The fact that viola davis is in Black Adam while Lupita Nyongo is in Black Panther and both were supposed to be in The Woman King and Lupita Nyongo or Viola Davis are small time media manipulators ... it leads to a complex web. And the general audience is the sucker falling for all these traps.

  21. haha @Pioneer1 I didn't even think of that. I need more acquaintances to keep me on point to such things:) @Pioneer1 did you enjoy his craft videos?
  22. @Chevdove @Troy After reading your latest comments I realize the problem in this situation isn't this film or viola davis or lupita nyongo or the dahomey female warriors or this film. It is the modern black community in the USA. Why I say that? The Global black community outside the usa loves this film. This film isn't a documentary. It is fantasy. And as I said before, this is a pan black production. black people from Africa side Black DOSers are together in this film. Black female empowerment. Now most black people in the USA love this film or at the least have no problem. But what about the black people who do? What is their real problem? Is the problem that Lupita Nyongo left a film? IS the problem that in a fantasy action film, not a documentary, the tone of the film is upbeat? I think some black people have issues with other Black people and this film's production shows a unity of Black people that some black people don't want. Now, before you shooeh my position. I go back to Frederick Douglass. I go back to MLKjs side Malcolm. The black populace through leaders, ala FRederick Douglass, or black people around activitists, ala some black people around Malcolm side MLK , simply dislike certain activities of Black people and look to criminalize them. FRederick Douglass to me, publicly criminalized , Black ways that didn't suit what he felt should be all black people's position. And for him, Black people in the USA should do nothing that segregate/separate from the usa in anyway. and this film, financed by a DOSer in Africa is a form of segregation/separation from the USA. And at the end of the day, the Southern Black LEadership Conference of the NAtion of Islam were more about the supremacy of their religious group than the betterment of black people regardless of religion. my point, the black community in the usa will always have individuals or groups that want black betterment as long as it parallels their views. And if it doesn't they critique. Look at Clarence THomas. Clarence Thomas does support black people, who fit his philosophy. He knocks who does not. The black community in the usa does not have the ability to disallow or mute black individuals or groups who are willing to work against black people trying to improve the village in ways they don't concur to. Using twitter or highlighting potential problems wherever are tools
