  4. Right @Pioneer1 but this was shared by people as genuine, and that to me is a problem.
  5. someone shared the following who is connected to someone I am connected to, it is a video BUT I have a tiktok account and I saw this account has no bio which is odd and is private so... I think the video is designed to be shared this is a contrived account, it is private and has no bio, this was staged 100% https://www.tiktok.com/@browneyed_beautee?lang=en

  9. well, I thank all of you @ProfD @Pioneer1 @Cynique for your comments, this topic, or similar are not easy. No matter what any one says, we all know the truth to ourselves. But I hope all answer privately, think on it, and share with significant others, whomever they are.

  11. @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.
  12. @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.
  13. @ProfDtrue words @Pioneer1 yes proves times do change for the better
  14. 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
  15. 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.
  16. @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.
  17. @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
  18. Lupita Nyongo also said no to Natalie Portman so Nyongo wants to guide her career a certain way. No black on black hate.

  20. @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
