“Without an honest confrontation, there is no healing.†That’s from Birth Of A Nation director-producer-star Nate Parker today onstage at the Sundance Film Festival.

“go murder white people.”
They’ll probably give it an Oscar.
Birth of a Nation was the first movie ever be screened in the Whitehouse

Does it really matter to the people who want white people killed. Black lives matters doesn’t care one bit.

The classic of all classics.

Does “Let’s Do it Again?” Count as blaxploitation? It was actually pretty good. It has Bill Cosby in it, but I’d still watch it, along with Capricorn 1.

You’ve been coffy-tized, blacula-rized and super-flied - but now you’re gonna be glorified, unified and filled-with-pride... when you see Five on the Black Hand Side.
Amen Brother!
Isn’t that the way nowadays? The Coen Brothers seem to be the only filmmakers with an original thought.
It didn’t show up on the list. Not saying it wasn’t in the genre tho.
Next up: Birth of Helter Skelter — The Heroic Struggle Against Oppression by the Manson Family.
Shut your mouth!

Yep, they did...I studied the original in a film class. Since it would be considered politically incorrect now perhaps stealing the name was just an attempt to help “bury” the original.
‘onyx’ posted the below link in another thread-—perhaps they could make a movie of that?
