Ludacris faces backlash for racially tone deaf movie

I don't understand why people get mad about shit like this. Movies are stories. If you don't like the story, then don't partake in it.

Luda didn’t read the room

 

[Sony Montana]

Luda needs backlash for being in John Henry

 

[AZTG]

Not even shitting on Luda or this movie.

But this trope in story telling has been done to death. Idk why people thinking the becoming over friendly with a person that hates you and eventually letting your love for him destroy his hate for you is a good story. Never understood it.

Let the movie come out first before all this but the love overcomes racism narrative is lame

movies are political more often than not

What negative political message do you think is being sent out by this movie?

 

[grYmes]

Eh... I’m more upset that they thought they can pull off this kind of movie in this kind of climate with that kind of actor. I wouldn’t dispute that things like this happen in real life but I can’t see it being translated well into film at all.

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Lmao wtf

 

[Scandalust313]

I couldn't even finish that shit

Forgive and forget so they can fuck you again when you turn around.

i mean do y’all ever grow weary of supporting narratives that make the perpetrators look like the victim?

ever? cause i am!

also in the age of trumpism, proud boys and klansmen posing as a cops, why tf would anyone think this is a good idea???

it reduces racism to just catty misunderstandings, when racism is so much more complex, violent and ongoing.


“wait and see what happens”

is yalls go to with everything, and exactly why we cant get ahead

I don't watch any of these movies. I think they are all stupid. I just don't support tearing down an actor because he chooses to be in one.

And whether people like it or not, it is true that a lot of these racists are indoctrinated. They aren't victims, but they also didn't come out of the womb believing the bullshit that they do.

The people in the op aren't making fun(except for the quip about big hands) they're outraged

 

[1/2]

sounds like a stupid movie, thats it for me

I do..... i wont be watching this movie

I didnt like "The Green book" for doing that, even tho its a decent film

outside of that im not really putting energy into boycotting or denouncing a movie

 

[OhMars]

a lot of these racists are indoctrinated.

I believe this to be true for sure. They are pawns in a much bigger game, always have been.
But, it aint up to others to fix them, especially the people that their rage is pointed at.

 

[GNS]

but they also didn't come out of the womb believing the bullshit that they do.

And it definitely isn't negros responsibility to change em
