Of course not. As a Black man he wouldn’t condone such an action, and as a father he wouldn’t condone such an action. Now, if said hypothetical rape happened at Penn State by student-athletes attending on an athletic scholarship, I’m sure he would furiously demonstrate against it while thinking of the good ol’ days.

Gabrielle has a shot to be in an Oscar. That she was an actual victim of rape in a rape scene in a film made by a rapist and his co-rapist is just inconvenient.

Why fictionalize a plot device for an historical event?

The Birth of a Nation seems destined for Oscar glory come next year when the hoards of white voters of the Academy will likely heap on adoration for the film while continuing not to put black people in any of their other movies.

But it’s Black Empowerment, and that’s what’s important.

If there’s one thing Nate Parker and Celestin Jean know how to do is write and film a rape scene.

Apologize for a crime that he was found not guilty of in a trial?

but i do think people will show up to theaters and watch this.

WHY INVENT A RAPE SCENE?! I don’t get it.

Are you 1) white and 2) a voting member of the Oscars?

If there’s something that Nate Parker and co-rapist Celestin Jean know how to do, they know how to write and direct a rape scene.

What about Dunham? (Self-admitted child diddler?) Or the Knowles? (Known domestic abuser, and her sister the enabler? Do you need to see the video again?)

He was found not guilty at his trial. To me, that is not the same as being exonerated. So I wish people would stop saying that he was exonerated because that’s not true.

He was found not guilty. Why admit culpability? Michael Jackson didn’t go through so much scrutiny.

Entitled? You mean a student-athlete on an athletic scholarship at Penn State is entitled? Who would have thought that?

Contrite of a crime that he claims he is innocent of, and from which he was found not guilty of in a trial? Is that how it works?

Is that how it works? Get accused of a crime, go through a trial, found not guilty in said trial, then apologize for the way the victim feels?

Let’s not forget about Lena Dunham. She self-admitted to diddling her sister.

At the time, he was a student-athlete on an athletic scholarship at Penn State. What consequences were there?

Not by the result of the trial he went through. He was found not guilty.
