Black owned, black actors, black staff. That is something we should give Tyler props for. It don’t matter because his movies are marketed towards black church going people.

The other day I was watching an African Martial Arts movie. It was what you would say corny. But I watched the entire thing and my wife looked at me like I was crazy. Then I told her I could only name 3 black men in martial arts movies Jim Kelly, Taemek and Kareem Abdul Jabar. Imagery is everything.
lol,
that's good for you, but most folk are very impressionable., easily influenced...the go with whatever is hot at the moment......and i see them getting really excited about a movie and associating it to a symbolism that i'm not so sure it truly represents
if you never heard of michael jai white then you lost
I ain't agreeing w/ much of what Goldie is saying but he is a 1000% right about this.
I could rattle off 20-30 black movies from 90-99 but from 2000 on
if it wasn't for Tyler Perry it would be looking shaky.

Yes I know who he is. Have seen most of his movies and met him in person. But he didn’t come to mind first.

Niggas:
Idgaf about perception, that's not tangible. Damn near every black comedian had his own show and handful of movies in the 90s, we've been there before, look where we're at now. OWNERSHIP, is what we need to be aiming at and celebrating.
That's why posted that jay clip, how long are we gonna keep making these companies billionaires and getting crumbs and for what? Perception of greatness while we're struggling like a mf?
Cmon black people, we gotta do better

I hear you but do you have the same disdain for the bullshit niggas celebrate everyday or is it cool cuz the" white man getting paid off of all of that"... is it just about the dollar and who controls it.?"for black history month nike's gonna make limited edition dashiki air force 1's"
Niggas:
naw man different is different
you can't just adopt some shit cuz you want to.
There is no one in my family that is African. No one that have ever been to Africa. No African dialect. No African culture. We do not have any African customs. We do not speak any African languages. Worship any African religions. Nothing about our experience is the African experience.
We are all welcome to learn about African Culture and countries. but that does not make us african. We can trace our blood back to the ancestors before slavery, but that does not make us african. Africa is a fuckign contitnent. An extremely large continent with a shitload of countries. There are different regions and customs and entire histories that are different and unique to numerous and extensive civilizations that are in Africa, and may of those civilizations have ties to almost ever civilization on this planet....to claim to just be African is the same as just claiming to be human...the first man likely came from Africa.. we all are Africans in essence... but in reality every body is different..
A Ghanan-American, a Nigerian-American, a Malaysian-American...those are African Americans...
but I consider myself a Black American.
there's a difference imo
