is Michael B Jordan's thomas crown movie the first rich black man film? I will explain. Thomas crown is supposed to be a rich guy who commits crimes. started by steve mcqueen, continued by pierce brosnan, but Jordan playing him is a quiet message in my view to black wealth. I can tell you black people have always had a rich minority but that minority has always been so small it hasnt been as visible, but in modernity i argue it is larger than in the past five hundred years so to speak or definitely the last two hundred and this film, i assume may speak to that reality in the black community in the usa and beyond. what say you?

This sounds like something right up @aka Contrarian's alley.....lol.

She loves laying on the couch and looking over at the television watching shows about handsome Black men and rich Black folks who live behind gates.
