FACTS!

john legend is making a series on that

Bars...

it did exist and they burned that down too...smh...no one has suffered like a black man has.(don't says Jews) jews only suffer what they agreed too with Moses and God in the book of Deuteronomy.

Aubrey Harris definitely!

Thanks for making this clear. Can't wait to see the movie tonight!

Exactly... and he only gave up the distribution to Fox [over the Black producer from Netflix] was because he wanted a national release so people could go sit down in a theater and experience the movie.

Fox makes a Profit off of The Birth of a Nation. They don't just recoup the 17million and that it.

That's about 13Mill not bad

You got THAT right. Ain't no promissory note when it comes to the coins.

2 Pac also allegedly raped someone......correlations are uncanny

Ogre Doug you mean framed? & Nate Parker didnt do anything, he was proven innocent case closed.....but lets talk facts ...thomas jefferson (allegedly) was a rapist...FACTS -> america raped the native americans of their land & livelihood..& the american justice system has been raping the civil liberties of african americans for hundreds of years..the correlations are uncanny..your talking in allegedly's & im talking facts..stop trying to take away from the real issues

Cali Finesse I'm not trying to do shit. Just saying both of them got accused of rape. I don't play that race game bullshit. In my old hood, 3 niggas just got arrested for smokin 2 white boys tryin to buy drugs. Shit's fucked up all around my g

Ogre Doug then why even make that dumb comment..it was unnecassary..your tryin to tear down these black man & stomp on their achievements with those BS rape accusations

Cali Finesse I'm not take the tampon out bro. Save the pro black speech for someone who cares, I actually have more respect for Nate Parker than I do 2 pac.

Trust me, some producer or directing is thinking the same.

Emo Rej great idea wow

That would be dope!

and how they worked with the Europeans to enslave Africans...Moorish Treaty

+born power.... that would be fine, but show the contribution and civilization that took place due to the Moors. also the film would have to span over 700 years to cover the end youre talking about. its like if i give you a car and years later you run me over when I'm not expecting it because you're mad i had a car in the first place. lol. Same with the Native Americans. help and get killed.

sssshhhiiiiiiiit, dont forget about django

Never that. Turner was real though.

nah I seen it. its ok

+jamal bryant You can't even compare the two.

The movie is a SOLID B.

nikes4444 yo I was going to use my brothers Netflix account but the nigga broke so Ima have to putlock the shit outta this movie.

Another stupid ass slave movie... I wouldnt even boot leg the bullshit!

Actually it's not like any other slave movie ever. Read up on this man Nat Turner.

A slave movie is still a slave movie no matter the context of the film. They never want to see us as the kings and gods we are.

BK Jets Fan Yes your right it's the most important black film since Malcolm X.

The rape case came out because the woman who he RAPED killed herself. There is no hidden conspiracy behind it.

You mean black twitter feminists want to be outraged.

It was basically a hatchet job.

I just don't know how well they hit it off. I'd marry any girl of any color. I just need to hit it off with somebody. We can't know if his lifelong goal was to marry a white women. But I respect your choice not to support his shit. I am just more critical of people that keep the Scarlet Letter style Rapist logo on him.

I wish more people thought like you smh. I appreciate your comment.

I went in saw it, it was good. I think some people were tired of the slavery movies(no matter how different). Also the storm could've caused problems. I was hoping more people would've supported it as well. Had really good messages.

THANK YOU. Oh my God your comment was the best one I've seen in days.

I think it was best. Someone like Tyler may have tried to exert influence and try to change things. God knows what he's doing.

Nah bruh, I dont think the ladies gon like that dude playing Denzel. lol You know the whole audience will be 83% female. You gotta think about the ladies.

Mic Rich John Boyega actually looks like he could be Denzel's son...he looks more like Denzel than Denzel's actual son. Look him up

Alright, Im not about to step into defending this man for that unless Im getting paid for it.. lol but to be honest, I dont know any women that dislike R. Kelly after all the shit he did. Its sad to say but when you're a true fan, there is nothing that can be said about that person that will make you give up on him/her.

+Theredapparition II you are right, he does look like he could be a son, or nephew maybe but personally I wouldn't wanna see him as Denzel.

Couldn't have said it better...

Wrong move!

Why is it s wrong move? Explain

Mind on Thee It will scar the minds of ur kids, unless they r at least 13+ years old.

We as black people have been scarred for over 400 years. You can take your kids to see an R rated movie as long as they are accompanied by an adult. It even says so in the motion picture guidelines. My kids know right from wrong. I teach them right from wrong. I teach them what's appropriate and what's not appropriate and you don't get to dictate how choose to raise my kids. If this was your typical rated r movie then I wouldn't bring them but this not just a movie. This is a part of our American history so why shield it from them? This movie will shed light on how we as black people were treated them and how it correlates to everything that is happening now. I don't want my son to grow up to be afraid of police officers. They supposed to look up to them as heroes and not monsters but it's hard to do that because all they see when they parents turn on the news are black men getting murdered unjustly at the hands of the police and it's up to the good ones to take a stand against the ones who abuse that authority no matter the rank or position. As a child I had to go to the library to learn more about black history because the books that a reading in school didn't include anything but a measly paragraph about Martin Luther King. I didn't learn a thing in school about our history until I went to college. I believe that we have a responsibility to teach our children especially our black children that we didn't always possess the privileges that we take for granted now. They could not play at the same parks, eat at the same restaurants, drink from the same fountains, or use the same restrooms as whites. We had to order our food from the back. We had to sit in the balcony at theaters and courtrooms. There was a time where we once had to guess the amount of jellybeans in a jar just to vote. There was a time where interracial marriage forbidden in a court of law. There was a time where blacks had to give up their seat to a white person. There was a time where a black man had to literally walk off the sidewalk and look down if a white woman passed by. There was a time in our history where they would hold carnivals, invite children and pass out candy and souvenirs to them while they stood and watched the lynching of black people. Are we supposed to hide this part of our history from our kids? It is imperative that they see this movie, how far we've comes since the days of Nat Turner and how we fat we still need to go as a nation so that we ALL can be treated as equals. My kids are seeing this film!!!

This is part of our history too. An important one. Baby steps.

Is she white? I've seen pictures of her and she definitely looks like she has some color in her somewhere. There are some light skin black people who's skin in paler than whites.

Him having a white wife is none of your business bro. Unless you have evidence that she is impacting him negatively.

Why are you trying to make her Black when he himself KNOWS she's Black...good grief

and please don't throw in the fact that he killed women and babies. just google the black women and babies this country has murdered. that won't fly with me. however, Nate purposely left that out. don't wanna offend the offensive. overall, it's a crying shame that any of this shit went down. again, I'm not celebrating the death of caucasians but this story should be allowed to be told.

Yes this Is a very important film that everyone needs to see and support, but I don't understand why would he play the victim In his rape case, and not show sympathy In that girls suicide, even If he believes he Is the victim, and don't give a shit about the chick, he's an ACTOR, fake It nigga, If not for yourself, fake It for the people who was nice enough to lend you their money. I thank you Nate Parker for your contribution In creating this film, but I have no respect for you as a person, I think you're a douche

yes sir

+lowkey carter thank you🙌🏾 I was losing faith in the sense of this comment section. I would have seen it if he was just one the actors, but I just can't support it with him creating the whole thing. I'm happy he's at least knowledge and educated, but I don't trust dude 😑

van chi yes!! Kevin Hart is so corny!! why do people like him? I miss Chris Tucker!

Saw the Kevin Hart movie yesterday, worth seeing as well. Both are great for the cause tbh, extremely funny and it's supporting our people. One should want to see both.

Nana Boateng true if you look at it that way. but Kevin hart is the highest paid comic right now he even has surpassed Jerry Seinfeld, I'm sure if I sit this one out he will still come out with a box office win. Meanwhile Nat Turners movie is being panned (mostly by whites) as a box office flop with only 7.2 million in its opening weekend, I think it is a tad bit more important to view Nate's film if I really wanted to support the cause.

" Only In America you will see a black man continuously having to explain himself about rape charges he was acquitted and then have an audience with so much outrage" His friend who's a writer for this film was convicted of the rape though. The only reason Nate didn't get found guilty is because Georgia had to awful consent laws back in 1999. The victim consented to sex when he slept with her the night before and back then consenting once meant consent until you verbally say no. He even said himself in Ebony that if he did what he did today, he'd be in jail.

Queen... thank you.

Happy Birthday! mines was the 6th... #teamlibra

the people in this country are brain dead...very very sad

Black women chose not to go opening weekend because of his stance on a rape he was charged with many years ago. We wanted to go! But he created this problem by not accepting responsibility for what happened in that situation. We like the story line, we love reclaiming the title, we don't like Nate Parker. We wish white people would do this to their horrible people, but they don't. They also don't take responsibility for them either sooo... I guess that makes sense.

The man was acquitted, against someone who had sex with previously and while I do not know what was true or not, you boycotting the movie has no implications for Parker at this point, as he already got his money. Hollywood should've took him to task when the film was released before giving him that record money, since that was where it would hurt the most. Hollywood still works with convicted rapists who run away, those who never even go to trial and such, so I would not equate Nate's case with the others. Again, I do not know the details because I wasn't there, but I do know that he himself was acquitted and how's he's dealt with the aftermath is troubling, but I saw the movie because of what it is. Hollywood could've bought it to kill it, no one knows, but if you take a stance against it, that is your prerogative because you might know more about his guilt more than I do.

Like you said, it is how he is dealing with it. I knew about the rape case a while ago and still supported his work. My personal view is that he should have shut up about it, but instead he picked very flattering journalists and media outlets to go to. It's just a bad look. We all have fallen short of the glory of God in one way or another.

Yea I hear you...Sad news when someone can't own up to a past mistake, and go forth in a transparent and respectable manner.

What is the name of the movie

Thats a good question. I'm a conscious Blackman myself and i'm trying to figure that out. A lot of White mixed or light women come at me.

TahitiaRose it doesn't matter dude, love is love

Does it really matter who someone is with? And think about this for a second. Black people consist of around 15% of the population. Look at education and notice that there aren't many black women at the top schools. Now look at the neighborhoods successful people live in. They're usually not full of black women. The odds aren't in those men's favor to meet black women. We encounter women of other races much more than we do our own. Only dating within your race means making a decision to not even consider 85% of women in the US. Doesn't that sound ridiculous? And what are you really left with when you cut out that large chunk of women? I'm sure there are other requirements most won't have. The percentage of potential women you're willing to date are probably in the single digits at that point. And it's not just about how they fit your preferences. You have to fit theirs as well. Dating solely within your race is extremely difficult. And what exactly are they contradicting by being with a woman outside of their race? Who you date isn't a political statement. And remember that his wife supported him through the whole ordeal. She put a lot on the line too. She could've said it's better for us and the kids if you keep working rather than putting your savings into this movie and spending years trying to get funding. What more can someone ask for in a partner? Why is her race even a topic for discussion?

AQUAPHREESH193 absolutely not. I love my black men way too much...even if some of y'all just can't seem to get it right lol

TahitiaRose loll see now i can respect that! Alot of sistas out here bash a possibly GENUINE interracial relationship, be the same ones watching Scandal with they panties wet watching Tony Goldwyn with his hands all over Kerry Washington!! It seems like a lot of black women don't mind being fetishized by white men as long as he promises them financial security and is arguably "dapper" lol like I said I know black men are guilty of treating black women like shit, but yall are NOT FAIR when people want to broaden their horizons.
