So damn hyped for this movie.

Everytime they show the trailer...I throw up a black power fist in the air, and keep it up until trailer is over and they move on to another commercial

you really telling on yourself now.....


shit was damn good movie, and memorable for all the reasons you attaching to am movie that didn't even come out..

but because it didn't have the trendy hype wagon of a marvel production.... it wasn't memorable,,



but it was written and directed by black man, and a character he created.....with an all black cast....i remember the shit outta it....loved it.....


but we can easily shrug it off???

Du you know you the homie and I fucks with you but Meteor Man is good for nostalgia but its not a "good" movie lol. You sounding like these hotep niggas on Twitter talking about "instead of paying money to see Wakanda on screen save and build your own Wakanda"

I can be a bit abrasive at times but ultimately I get frustrated a lot with some of the shit Niggaz get infatuated with.

Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it bothers me.

It's like Chappelle once said, there's a big difference being laughed with vs being laughed at....

And there are times when some of the silly shit we get caught up is a laughed at moment.

And this movie just happens to be one of those things.... Cuz slowly but surely Niggaz going way over board and imo it's becoming a mockery of our overreaction to some of the simplest shit. Only mad people don't see the joke yet.

I love black people, I just don't always like the direction of their affections

A lot of that reaction you see is nothing more than niggas on Instagram and Twitter trying to out meme each other. Has nothing to do with how excited they are or aren't for the movie

Assuming they are serious, I understand the analogy, but it's still stupid

This is the same shit that say about how much blacks spend during Black Friday

 

[BlackRain]

I used to think that joke was cool. All that shit did was make niggas fake uppity.

The joke is still funny because its more about classism than anything else and there is an air of truth to it. But it was one of those jokes that isn't understood if you're not part of the family

Stay sleep Niggaz,

Stay sleep

 

[IP360]

I understood the concept behind it...execution was meh.
