For real, I feel like crying after watching the trailer. I might have to pass even though it looks like a really good movie

Don't be a pussy

I feel ya.

Me too. Honestly, the preview almost made me cry. Inner hate is real in every country.

It'll be heavy but thats the point, you need to watch it, you cant just not watch it because you can't face the reality of things like that happening

OddLuckyOne this is a powerful comment!! 👏🏾👏🏾

👏👏👏👏👏

Who exactly is writing this "history" and do they have a vested interest in its accounts and narratives? Then...let's discuss this concept of...."repeating".

Paul A. Jules III Well, I can certainly appreciate your comment... first, let’s start off with the media and what they chose to share or what details they chose to leave out for the convenience of selling a certain narrative. Ultimately, it has a huge role in how individuals are perceived even when they’re not accustomed to being around certain types of individuals/cultures. And then in regards history, we are literally repeating right now... regardless of ignorance. Prophecy is coming to fluorescent

So depressing

I'm already depressed.

I wish I never watched this trailer it way too depressing.

Bro this dude is the definition of a fighter and an amazing character and role model. I would have PTSD for life if this happened to me. This guy became a successful actor and he has a law degree. Shows the beauty of life he was this close to dying or committing suicide.

Its not fact, its his story. Personally I believe his story but I do think Hollywood probably added things to evoke even more of a reaction. However bottom line is it was a very racially charged time period across the world so its a relevant story which a lot of people experienced worldwide. Important to note though that there are countless families in the UK who fostered children in the 70s 80s from many different countries, providing a much better environment than this example. There is a reason their families sent their children to British families. The vast majority, in good areas, were a better option for their children. As was shown when he moved to a better area himself. Although It doesn't fit with the Hollywood narrative to tell those stories. But Stupid, radical groups across the world and religions do spoil it for all the good work which goes on if they don't provide some balance.

@@amigaamigo5307 in America too.

Simply because of their skin color. It like living with a ball and chain, being told to wait 24 hours after the race start to start running, and being beaten and kicked along the way to the finish line while white in the audience tell you to pull yourself up and not complain because racism doesn't exist since they haven't experienced all the while they are the ones beating you and kicking you along the way simply because they can and it's fun.

@G T Just yesterday a white guy actually said racism doesn't exist because he hasn't seen it or experienced it. I was amazed at that comment. But, his comments is typical of those who perpetrate racist on others. They think their behavior is innocent and doesn't have an affect on people. I also had a white student of mine to ask me if I had the opportunity would I want to be white. He had no idea that question revealed multiple assumptions he had about himself and black people. My answer was no on multiple levels, one being I wouldn't want to live a life thinking I'm superior over another human being. I also told him I wouldn't want to live a life getting by on the color of my skin and not by my efforts. That would make me question my competency. He was shocked, because he always all thought black people wanted to be white in order to have a easier life. I told him struggle build character the lack of it makes you fragile and insecure. He had to agree. He said most white people he knew were insecure.

These things still go on but it dosent get reported

Yeah I never thought about it on a deeper level how racism is experienced in the UK. We all know about it in general and yes we know racism is everywhere bc it lies within the racist not the country. I’ve been to the UK as a black woman and didn’t experience any racism and I was traveling alone. I’ve experienced more racism here in the US then abroad, and not just by white people. I was welcomed in Iceland and France as well. However, I do know that African migrants have experienced harsh racism in Europe. I just never thought about such eye opening examples of it or that he joined their group! Wow.

This sh!t is too much for me

Natural Serena Yep! The actor Adewale Agbaje spoke during an interview about how he was adopted by a white family, harassed by the British KKK, and started running the gang after he began fighting back.

That’s him dropping himself off pretty much

@Mr Football I agree with you 100%. Black British culture is only confined to the big cities. Once your in English suburbia you basically have to accept white British culture. Virtually every famous Black British you meet is from in or around greater London or Birmingham.

Unfortunately, this was the reality, for many families back then! It's heartbreaking to hear to watch as I know first-hand this was a reality!

And the we have safe and sound teens ending their lives just cz they feel depressed over a mere breakup We need to accept that western issues are manageable.They are difficult yeah, but nothing compared to what others in some parts of the world experience If this man was able to SA a pig (he was forced),get stepped on,get peed on and STILL be alive...then I think we should also have the drive to keep on living after a bitter divorce

I can't speak for others but for me personally Slave movies are adaptations of what we could not control. I don't know a lot about brainwashing but I do know about trying to fit in. But to deny one's self is a pill I don't think any human can swallow easily. As I navigate through this world I learned there are others who would not like me some good most bad. I don't wanna be a statistic Or front page news of something I can control. I can control not watching a movie like. This type of movie shows visually what I know to be the truth. It will feed into my anger and cause me to lose my humanity. I think it best for me to stay far way from shit like this.

100% agree

@@clark7474 Well stated....My thinking exactly! Hell, the trailer was enough for my blood pressure to creep up. What's really sad is Blacks are still dealing with inhumane treatment. Smh

Did British people bury this history or something? Everyone acting so sensitive but in America I am very aware of the history with African Americans

@@casanova842 British history does it's best to disregard black British history, and it's somewhat easier because white British racism and such is usually associated with "the external (ex) colonies", and not specifically on British soil

Chantel British cannot make movies somehow they do not have the ability or talent to make a movie the guy should get into music England has the best musicians this movie is a great big Downer if you want to feel bad for yourself and hate other people and feel resentful and agitated and angry this is the movie for you

@@lovedrakexx It does not. I can walk out of my door and in a 5 minute walk I will see a mural of the Windrush boat, murals of black leaders and a statue of a black playwright.

Amanda Andrews and so you should, but to prove my point further the windrush, was the arrival on Caribbean people from ex British “colonies” on British soil, and many of the statues and historic black icons are native to such places.

Chisom Bah that's what the guys hoping for but I don't think it is it's not inspiring it's ugly depressing hateful racism is selling very well these days his timing couldn't be better I can do without

Robert balibrera true talk

honestly i wish they would stop pushing all this racist content, it doesn't teach lessons it just keeps reminding everyone about racism

Chris R No it highlights what people go through everyday

Chris R yes everyone needs to be reminded about racism. not speaking about it & just pushing it aside to be ignored as if black people are not suffering everyday because of it is ridiculous. In this case it’s his REAL LIFE story and he should be allowed to share it

Edward Ejiofor I know right!!

I guess people like you can't stand the truth about this life. You would rather ignore the truth all your life. Life is not a game friend, read the truth about this life in the scriptures of the Bible.

I understand really but just be careful of the truths you chose to ignore just because it doesn't make you "happy".

John Blessed - The bible is a book of white lies written by white people that hate your black ass. Stop worshipping the image of the white man.

Film is a medium for any and all stories to be told, true or fictional, funny or harrowing, soothing or horrifying. No matter how you choose to feel, people are allowed to share their stories and we’re allowed to watch and listen to them. I can’t imagine your reaction to actual documentaries. You should try to stop being so sensitive.

Floyd Thomas satta know if it's true that he hated himself must have turned out to be a blessing it made him try harder and now he's succeeding that should be part of the movie

@@robertbalibrera2583 Are you a Caucasian?

Paul Matemb there's nothing historical about that movie it's a fantasy

Still haven't watched When They See Us. I'm just tired of all of it. Trump. The horrific shit at the border. Racism. All of it. I'm black. I get it!!!!!!

I couldn't watch When They See Us either....I stopped once they arrested them after the incident took place in the park, and thereafter the process of questioning them individually and just how the investigator began to corroborate the truth to have them pinned it against each other....I was done at that point. Just seeing the fear and confusion in their innocent faces was too much to stomach.

I honestly couldn't watch it. I'd get really emotional and stuff.

Im not going to ever watch it or doss i think. My blackness wont let me.

@@GladysGrace001 It got 5mins into episode 2 and stopped. It took me two weeks to go back and revisit the rest of the show. Even then I had to take massive breaks between episode 3 and 4.

@@robertbalibrera2583 Amen.

It's not a true story.

LibertarianGal20009 According to the director it is 🤷🏾‍♀️ ( his own story ) . I have no reason to disbelieve him .

​@@sengaekiba9642 Its important to note that this is his story. There is little factual record. Personally I believe him, although I wouldn't be surprised if Hollywood made him make it more dramatic but it certainly was a racially charged time period in London and the whole world.(Still is in a lot of areas in the world). It is important to note that parts of London were more dangerous than others(just like most major cities) and that there was a reason Nigerian families sent their children to British families. It was on the whole a better option if you sent them to the right areas.There are countless Families who fostered immigrant children in much better environments but those stories don't fit the narrative of Hollywood movies at the moment.

@@ThePoliticsofMusic you will know from experience of course, because the stories I received in Limehouse were anecdotal. The stories I used to hear were often about black 'hoolies' such as the 'legendary' CP. CP was not a skin as such, but in those days that's what we believed he was.

@@ThePoliticsofMusic there were attacks on black people of course, but most of the the attacks I bore witness too and heard about were really against SE Asians. SE Asians who migrated in the 70s, didn't speak the language so well, had a different faith, clothes etc were targeted more often. The so called 'P bashing' was seen as acceptable by many. Maybe the film does refer to this, but it would be dishonest not to record the severe racial attacks against SE Asians in those days , and pretend it was just towards black people. I was about 10 when I saw an Asian bloke get attacked, I felt helpless.

Wow, thanks for the insight. So, this was a thing, black skinheads? Fascinating.
