Because the ONE thing we need right now is a film about slavery. THAT will soothe the lefts stoking of racial animosity fires!

Anyone want to bet it will NOT include the black slavers in Africa who sold their “brothers” to the Europeans?

$100,000....NO. Someone would have to pay me $1,000,000.00 to watch this film.

Couldn’t care less if it is made, where it is made, and when it begins its run.

That movie is great! Hollywood Shuffle. The comedy is brilliant.. The story about how Robert Townsend financed and filmed it is fantastic.

makes it a crime to provide food or water to voters lined up outside polling stations,

The way I understand it, it's to forbid third parties from coming in and offering these things to voters standing in line to prevent electioneering and exchanging food/water for votes.

That said, WTH are these people, children?! Bring your own damn water and food. You manage to feed and hydrate yourselves every other hour of the day.

Oh no! What will we do without a movie on slavery? It’s a topic that’s never been explored before.

If I was black, i’d be very angry with the way the left portrays us

But you're not, and they don't.

Good riddance. Letting the film industry grow in Georgia was a huge mistake. Without all the blue state migrants brought by the movies, the Democrats would never have won the two senate seats.
