Well what else is new I mean signing a petition is all well and good but better yet would be to convince Black folks with money and skillz to make their own and we can no longer use the excuse that Black Hollywood lacked the skill and talent to pull it off,alternative funding can now be achieve if monied Black folks refused to pitch in. Read more at whatculture.com/film/crowd-funding-a-new-way-to-finance-your-film.php#S8QDhytzJGse0V3F.99e through Crowd Funding. Gone are the days when you had to beg a studio or group of wealthy people in order to get your foot on the film industry ladder.
Time to put up or shut up and stop worrying about what white folks will and will not do for us they gonna do what they do we have to do what we have to do. Btw the above is in no way directed at you but to ma people in general. |

I understand and agree with your points brother, but to stop this BS from hitting the big screen would prove a big win for the PEOPLE, who the power resides with in the first place. This will cause directors and financial backers to take notice. Some damage is better than no damage. They will have to take action, or lose money and support for a film that provides no historical truth. |

This will cause directors and financial backers to take notice. Some damage is better than no damage. They will have to take action, or lose money and support for a film that provides no historical truth. But that's just it we can't stop it from hitting the screen at best we ignore it by not viewing it protesting with our pocket books remember some thing this is not geared towards us, like most Hollyweird fliks it is geared towards White folks,we are just an after thought, mind you they don't mind if we continue to drop $$ at the box office because the bottom is the bottom line and even if we protest and show the historical facts of who the ancient Kemitians were,they can and will make a plea for creative license,not to mention the amount of idiots out there willing and ready with counter claims and protest that Blk folks are angry over a movie about a dead culture that never belonged to them in the first place. I said this many a times and I'll say it again we have to put our own out there and have it massively supported by us ( CROWD FUNDED!!)well scripted,produced,directed and acted ,Ok lets take a page from their book,who the hell knew or ever heard of Peter Jackson before Lords Of The Rings??...certainly not I and most folks I know and look how many actors and actresses came out of that series making A list money when before non of us heard squat about them,but there was no magic to all this simply a couple of Billionaires who gave someone a chance with a vision,but I guarantee you once you make that hit both in terms of commercial and critical success everyone and their mother will be tripping over themselves to fund the next project or at the very least making knock off's based on the original in any case that would be the game changer. |

Surprised? Not me.
The only thing we can do is not go to see it.
Like anansi said, the only way we can change this nonsense is by doing our own thing.
Unfortunately, that would call for A majority of blacks to have a "conscious" and that's not happening anytime soon.

Well the majority almost never move first or take the lead they will follow once shown the way all that is need is a few brave souls will to take a chance. I am waiting for Brother Gregory Walker to put his books to the cameras Gregory Walker and his book Shades of Memnon

There is material aplenty out there to make an epic both fiction and non fiction the last series I enjoyed as a kid Imaro with his woman and the wise Ba-Twi. By Charles Saunders, Brother G was supposed to turn his books into a series with Wesley Snipes,but I haven't heard anything since. |

I hope it bombs.  |
