This went viral because it's gotten to the point where even black woman are questioning her agenda.


A lot of negative comments on the official TIFF twitter page promoting the movie's premier.

Maybe she stole the idea from the real life black nurse that fell for a German POW.

 

Smh
Damn how desperate is she.
Should have been a Klan member Nazis had nothing on the Klan in terms of directed hate towards blacks

 

Ohhh....This movie is finally coming out? I could've sworn the 1st trailer or pictures for this movie came out early 2017.

 

You guys have to look deeper at this. Amma Asante is the same woman that Directed A Unite Kingdom. What actual inaccuracy is occurring here? Not all black women were INVOLUNTARILY Bedwenches for Slavemasters. Some of these throughout history has had an relationship with racist white men. There is A LOT of proof of it. That is why you ever notice the same black women that don't like it when black men are with white women LOVES them some White Men. They have how they feel about black men in common with racist white men. Look at the REAL life story that mirrors her movie. So unless I'm missing something here I don't see an agenda or anything inaccurate. We have to know her feelings on the situation to really know. Because she made a love story about a bm/ww IR couple over coming racism with most of the bigotry coming from white men then made a bw/wm IR love story about a black woman falling in love with a nazi and on top of that the latter got the heat for it. I'm not saying she is that deep of a filmmaker to expose things with codes in her films, but think about that comparison a little deeper than just on the surface.

 

Amma Asante has been getting some grief from the online black film community after the announcement of this film because it meant she would be directing three straight films with interracial romances at the center (the first one being "Belle"). That criticism was heightened by the subject matter of this latest film an absurd story idea. Is it possible such a scenario played out like this in Europe/Germany? I suppose. But it isn't all that likely. The presence of black people in that part of the world was much more rare than today and to compound it by having a romance break out between a Nazi, regardless of his true beliefs, and a black girl is an absurd premise. Goodness Jewish people don't make fucking romances centering on Jewsih people and Nazi scum, but black women sure know how to romanticize slave owners and now apparently Nazis too so long as those folks (men) hook up with black females.

Of course the film stars Amandla whom years ago the left leaning writers and bloggers of the industry, as well as black folks, made into a victim. Now she is the leading star of countless movies in which she stars alongside her white dudes. And these films don't make money.

 

There were many black Germans circa WWI & II

Just saying

 

About 20,000 black folks in Germany of a population total of 70 million in the 1930s. Is that many to you because to me that seems like a drop in the bucket. The Jewish population was about half a million. Guess it's just the way one looks at it. Of that 20,000 how many would have been teenage girls of the right age to coincide with this story? 500? 1000? Too scarce in my opinion. Like I said it's not mathematically impossible just highly unlikely.

 

Can you give me some insight? I may have forgot, what happened?

 

Some dumb white moviegoers somehow didn't realize her character in the first Hunger Games film was actually black in the book as well and objected to her casting after the movie came out. They were in the wrong. But for years going forward despite every inane thing that would come out of Amandla 's mouth, her defenders that I mentioned would brush away any criticism of her by bringing up now she was victimized by racist fans during that Hunger Games controversy. It was her Get Out of Jail card so to speak. Black folks on Twitter though don't defend her as much now, especially after her disputed Black Panther casting claims.

 

^ Okay now I remember her. Thanks. I get lost some times. lol.

 

I wish Amandla took that "Black Panther" role. I'm tired of the colorism crybabies and their simps/panderers making a big deal about how happy they are about the fact that their were no lightskin women in the movie, as if lightskin women don't exist in Africa. Last time I checked, Wakanda is supposed to be in East Africa. Despite that fact, none of the main females casted in that movie were Habesha Women, who are stereotypically lightskin with real long hair.

 

I didn't have any issue with keeping lightskin women out of BP. Lightskin chicks are already overrepresented in Hollywood, considering their numbers, in relation to black women and black people overall. I didn't want to see another black movie in which lightskin black males didn't exist but lightskin black women did. It's a damn cliche.

The main issue that people took with Amandla was that she appeared to suggest she was brought in to audition for the Shuri role but out of the goodness of her heart she bowed out because she felt her skin tone would be out of place in Wakanda. A lot of people felt that was bs on her part, that she was never in the running.

 

The next Spike Lee joint:

BlackKKKlanswoman

 

Points taken sir, but that statistical drop in the bucket is what they make movies out of

 

Can't argue that.

 

True, but he has a point about some avenues not being explored. There were plenty of stories about Jewish women who were in relationships with ethnic Germans after the Nazis came to power, but there aren't people in Hollywood going out there way to glorify them.

Pretty much everybody has seen the pic of the dude who refused to salute Hitler:



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Landmesser


He was a member of the Nazi party who fell in love with a Jewish woman. He started to have issues with the Reich after they passed the Nuremberg laws, which outlawed marriages between Jews and gentiles.

Dude was fine with being a Nazi before it affected him personally.

This is a pretty well known story, but do you see any of the Jewish directors in Hollywood expressing interest in making a movie about this guy and his partner?

 

Good points. And good informative point on Habesha Women.


Black people are the most exotic race on the planet.

 

You wrong for that Ricardo. lol. I hope that is a joke pic. Regardless not a good look for that sista.

 

By "exotic," I'm assuming that you mean diverse, and that's only because black people with mixed ancestry generally aren't accepted by other groups so they get lumped in with indigenous sub-Saharan Africans.

Habeshas look like that because they have semitic (Arab) ancestry.
