Yes!! You hit the nail on the head

Of course! I didn’t give away much more than what was in the trailer but I missed it everytime I watched the trailer. I think the comment is best read for after viewing just to be safe, and then you’ll also have a point of reference as well :)

I think the blind guy at the end was more #NotAllWhitePeople

Right! It’s like “I’m not one of them!”, which is not needed here.

It reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend earlier. She works for a law firm that helped bring a lawsuit against their state for their inhumane treatment of prisoners. They regularly have client meetings with the people in the jail. One woman who thinks she’s woker than she is essentially forces her clients…

The third act was everything! I saw it in a crowd of almost entirely Black people. We were all cheering. Momentary reparations, ha.

Such an amazing film. I got to see it a week early and it’s been hard to keep all my thoughts to myself.

I mean, the SJW part gives me a sense that you may be trolling. But, if you read the full comment thread then you’d see the explanation of why I don’t like this person.

Yes! When Pac is like “wait, why am I wasting breath on you, lemme pass the mic”??! Iconic

Yeah, I bet she’s just not being hired for the jobs she wants/feels entitled to.

Not sure if it’s necessary but I think some are misunderstanding my original comment. I thought it was clear but if not—my sympathy is with her children not her.

I have no sympathy for her, only her children.

It’s not just what she did but how she did it. The way she speaks about race and Blackness is gross to me as a Black woman, activist, and Black Studies scholar. Unlike traditional disciplines Black Studies is lived, it’s personal. It’s a discipline that is always being undermined and questioned. She brought shame to…
