Movies with BM/WW Couples

What I find impressive is that black people love Bird Box and seem to throwing Sandra Bullock zero shade. Everyone seems cool with it.

 

I guess if society is crumbling, who's got time for that skin color BS lol???

 

Sure. People also spout paranoid, baseless, exaggerated drivel that have no connection to truth and zero evidence to back it up; just because they FEEL that's what going on. The burden of proof fell on those who claimed Bullock was an IR dodger and of course they couldn't deliver such a thing but held on to their suspicions and accusations. Even if Bullock had changed some sort of prejudicial attitude or career protectionism she was holding onto (I doubt it) she at least have the benefit of never being dumb enough to make such a claim publicly in the first place (like that lead chick of Grey's Anatomy somewhat did). But there were a handful of folks here who jumped that gun and, IMO, were dumb enough to charge her with racism. They look even more foolish in retrospect.

 

Everyone who makes assumptions as if it is fact are of course foolish, but all I was saying It can go both ways unless we REALLY know a person. Racism unfortunately is judged by people's feeling and thoughts rather than facts and knowledge about racism. That's why I say I don't see anything she has done even in CODE that would lead people to such accusations. Did they know her personally, do they have her on tape doing things, was that the talk around hollywood? lol. If all they are going by is she never had a black male love interest then they don't know hollywood. lol. Actresses did not have much power for a longtime.

As you and I both pointed out and as actors themselves pointed out they didn't have a lot of power back then and still don't have some now. Even though I do believe in letting a director, producer, ect. do their job on THIER projects. But what is becoming abundantly clear is that a few of these actresses WANTS to have a black male love interest on screen.

 

So really kudos for Sandra Bullock AND Susan Blier because Bird Box is a HUGE hit with one that features a well grounded, handsome strong straight black male as not only Sandra's love interest but he had the kind of character that audiences loved.

 

LOL. Go listen to Tariq Nasheed's review of "Bird Box" if you wanna laugh at a hating-ass hotep conspiracy theory review. I pressed play & the 1st thing I hear is calling dude a "Plantation buck".

 

I just watched Bumblebee. Liked it WAY better than any of the Bay movies. There's a whiff of ir romance, one-sided at least. Do not see this movie for that reason alone.

Spoiler

They actually make the black guy come off as pretty weak. He actually makes an excuse so he can skip the final big battle. I've never seen that from a "good guy" in an action movie. Pathetic.

The object of his affection gives him one kiss on the cheek (which she specifically points out is *only* a kiss on the cheek) and vocally refuses to hold his hand at the end. Pathetic.

I get that they wanted to make a big point about women being heroes in their own right and not needing to be the "prize" at the end of the movie. But it was hard to watch. Truly.

Actually, the real romance was between the girl and the car.

 

If you want to see Hailee Steinfeld in a much less one-sided IR

Spoiler

Go see Spiderman Into the Spiderverse one of the best animated films of all time superhero or not and the IR is not one sided and the black kid is not made out to be weak or pathetic by any means. Plus if you go support you help speed up the sequel which will reportedly focus on their romance.

 

Lol thanks for the tip

Spoiler

I'm already on that train, homie! I'm going to see Spider-Verse for the second time tomorrow. Excellent movie, even without the Miles/Gwen setup. I may actually buy that one when it hits Blu-ray/streaming

 

That's that feminist spin on things that we have to be aware of when we see black men in movies and TV shows.

 

Tariq although he has knowledge about racism that most don't have it has also left him unfortunately paranoid to the point it screws with his line of thinking and sense of humanity at times. There are horror movies out there where black people

Spoiler

make it to the end.

and the white guys are in the role he is complaining about. But I haven't really seen him talk about movies like 0verlord, The First Purge, Slice, and The Cloverfield Paradox which featured a black couple

Spoiler

living all the way towards the end while the white people played the sacrificial hero.

But something tells me if those movies were as big as Bird Box he would've found something to complain about. He has complained about movies where white people save the black people. I think he only wants to see black people saving black people for black people. He at times have this segregated thinking when it comes to race. Which I don't understand since he WANTS to live in a racially mixed country. I don't see him and others that always talk about black people being on their own going to a black country. They want white folks to give them their own America. Which says a lot for people that are so pro-black but yet they don't want to be in a mostly or all black country. LOL!

I value some of his knowledge, but Tariq has let racism destroy his sense of compassion and humanity. I truly believe that Tariq wouldn't put his life on the line to save children from being killed if they were white kids.

 

I'm sorry , but what secret "knowledge" does Tariq have about racism that the rest of us dont?..LOL

This Mofo spent 51 minutes doing a so- called "review" of this movie. He couldn't tell the difference between an Airport and a Hospital because he was so busy trying to find "White Supremacy subliminal messages.

He's so far gone that he sees White Superamcy in a box of Cheerios.

He's just another in the long line of Pro Wack, Hotep White Supremacy spouting CLOWNS who get their panties in a bunch when they see Black Men with White Women in real live or the movies.

Tariq and others like him are just a SAD SACK OF SHITTY PEOPLE!!

 

I'm actually not sure it has anything to do with his being black. I feel like they wanted to make their point, and adding a black character was just the diversity two-fer. I believe they would have done a white guy the exact same in that situation.

 

I didn't say secret knowledge I meant he hits on racism like some of the things we mention here that you won't see in mainstream. Mainstream teaches people that all racism is hatred for another person's skin color when it goes much deeper than that. When the media and other celebrities were jumping all over Kevin Hart he was one of the ones pointing out the hypocrisy and showed some of their old tweets using gay and racial slurs and being racist. While the media wants us to believe that only conservatives are racist he is one of the people out there debunking that. He at times believe it or not has defended black men dating white women like when women tried to jump all over Donald Glover and when they DID jump all over MBJ.

As I said his paranoia has lead him to over the deep end. He's one of those people you have to listen to with a limit. lol.

 

Feminism is inherently racist. More so in this country. It has a racist history and some of these feminist out here is about getting a piece of power and they don't see black men nor want black men above white women. Yes, they would've probably done the same thing if he was white but it would be out of anger with the white patriarchy for the treatment of white women, whereas with a black man it would be out of not wanting to see a black man on a strong white woman's level therefore they would want a black man portrayed in the image they see us as.

 

I was disappointed too. Homes was made a gelding. Not since A Long Kiss Goodnight had l seen a brother like that.

 

I don't agree with this statement. At all.
But that's probably a discussion for a different thread.

Since virtually everything in this country is tainted by racism, feminism certainly perpetrates its share. But I tend to think that most of the time these days it's more ignorant prejudice than active "supremacy."

In this instance, I don't see any reason to believe a feminist race agenda played a part in this character's portrayal. I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt on that, though I do believe the dude was simp af.

In upstate N.Y. there is a statue of Anthony and Frederick Douglas having tea.

 

They had a rocky friendship as they didn't agree on politics. And even some labeling them enemies at times. Take a guess what they disagreed on.

That quote was said in his presence when the two met.
