What is the purpose of showing slaves being brutally beaten in movie after movie? Why is MLK’s message never conveyed to applied to obvious race hatred existing in the black community today - hatred not only of whites? Why is the message ALWAYS the same - that white racism is the sole definition of American society, historically and currently?
What the *&$^#@ do you think they were doing to slaves? Serving them tea and cookies? Yeah, they got beat. Maybe not to the extent you see in movies, but they are MOVIES. They exaggerate things. Movies always have.
And the message isn’t ALWAYS the same. You’re cherry picking a few movies and seeing what you want to see.
