Black Cinema

[GARFIELDKOOL]

How about a board for black movies?

[EmoJoe]

Why cant you just post black movie threads on the movie board? They're movies, too.

[Brian Damage]

I agree, no need to segregate movies.

[GARFIELDKOOL]

I see what you're all saying. Sometimes black movies need that special attention and on the movie board is not enough.

[Brian Damage]

I've tried talking about "Blaxploitation" movies like Shaft, Foxy Brown and Superfly on the movie board, but didn't get alot of participation.

[GARFIELDKOOL]

Which is exactly my point. I tried with Boyz n the Hood and Juice, and I think one person responded.

Why do they need special attention? A movie is a movie, no matter what race the people who made it/star in it are. Just because people dont respond to a few threads about black cinema doesnt mean we need a whole sepeate board about it.

Plus if anything, It Would Make SO Look racist.

Thats also true

RurryJoeMicelli you said it yourself. "Just because people don't respond to a few threads about black cinema." That's is the key sentence. It would not make anything look racist. Why do think there are the BET, and The Source awards? Because blacks are often overlooked at the Grammy and American Music Awards. Now that's racist.

Who said people dont reply to threads about it? I said a FEW threads about it. A movie is a movie, it doesnt matter who stars in it or not.

It's one thing to separate movies by categories like action/adventure, romance, comedy,etc..... but to separate them by color is another. It would make SO look very racist.

Plus remember not every person responds to every thread made on the movie board. I've started a few that have gotten no responses AT ALL.

GarfieldKool there's no point in having a black cinema board on here cause these lames on here wouldn't respond to them anyway cause they don't watch black movies.

Brian Damage made a stupid comment earlier this year about Spike Lee's She Hate Me movie when i posted it on Cheers message board saying Woody Harrelson is in it. Brian's response was Spike Lee's movies don't make any money anyway. Now what kind of statement is that? Sounds racist to me. Who cares if his movies don't make any money. I wasn't talkin about that. I was just lettin people know on Cheers board that Woody was gonna be in Spike Lee's movie.

[GARFIELDKOOL]

How come Brain Damage can say something like that and not be a racist comment, but I suggested a black movie board and that's considered racist? This question is to all you who posted except Isiah.
