>it's based on a true story>except the real Queen Nanisca went to war to KEEP slavery because her country's entire economy revolved around it>in the movie they just made her an abolitionist who went to war to get rid of slaveryUhhThat's kind of a big detail to change isn't it
>>220448022No African was ever involved in the slave trade. Europeans just went off their boats carrying butterfly nets and caught random people to enslave them.
>>220448022What was the reason for the stupid ass title?
>>220448022>woman king>not jadwiga of polandI am being radicalized.
>>220448071I'm guessing like when Hatshepsut became pharaoh and people were like "Only men can be pharaoh" and she was like "Okay I decree that I'm legally a dude, who wants to be beheaded over it?" and everybody was like "All hail King Hatshepsut"
>>220448022KINGS HAVE DICKS
>>220448022Kinda like in A Time to Kill (1996) where they raceswapped everyone.
>>220448071Because the word for her title in their language doesn't properly translate into English. In the movie she's a general, not a king or even a queen. But by playing mental gymnastics with the translation they make it sound like she's more important than she is. She didn't even exist in reality. They were just female recruits to the military of one of the biggest slaver empires in all of Africa. The film makers wanted to piggyback off Black Panthers success and think the average normie wont even bother looking up actual history
>>220448022Blacks generally believe whites walked into Africa with butterfly nets to capture slaves. blacks are really dumb.
HAHA CHUD UR JUST MAD A BLACK PERSON IS IN A MOVIE HAHA HOZHOAHSA
>>220448022>change history to benefit niggers and demonize whitesMany such cases.
>>220448212That's how they did it in roots. Did they stop showing that in history class? It's been a long time since I been in school
>the part where the woman king fights to free slaves…it never happened Brought to you by AIPAC
>>220448022When Euros began to explore the coasts of Africa, their goals were discovery, navigating and mapping, with the added bonus of meeting and trading with the natives as they had done on prior voyages elsewhere. Upon meeting these people the Euros offered the usual things like metal, weapons, food, linens, and other things except instead of receiving other goods in return, they were offered people.
>>220448071>What was the reason for the stupid ass title?Black Girl Magic™
The film was actually good. Solid 7/10. No idea why they needed to do put a bunch of transatlantic slavery bullshit into it
>>220448022>richest man in history and the source of all wewuz kings rhetoric >except lost all of his wealth due to not understanding the value of his gold and didnt advance his nation in any meaningful way
>>220448736Assign blame where it is due, this was written and produced by White women. This was made to be maximally patronizing to Black women.
>>220448740Nah. I watched 40 min and got bored.
>>220448022I don't know what's the big deal with Africans selling other tribes to be slaves. Venetians did the same with slavs to sell them to the Arabs for centuries. That's how Venecia became a huge place for commerce
>>220448948Everyone on /v/ thinks there is some blackrock gay agenda, they dont get white women just love fags and coloureds and want it in all media.
>>220448967It's because of how much blacks complain about slavery. You never see Slavs complaining about slavery.
>>220448071freudian slip, basically admitting that the current wave of feminism only disagrees with "toxic masculinity" to the extent that they are not the ones perpetrating it
>>220448967Becuase ones human and the others not.
>>220448967Retarded white American racists think that this someone makes whites’ less responsible for the transatlantic slave trade and the subsequent century of institutionalized racism against black Americans
>>220449029See, you just know slavic hands typed this. Not human.
>>220449029it does in the sense that responsibility is shared. its quite a different dynamic when the natives are involved compared to the popular conception that white people went to africa and personally clubbed natives over the head and dragged them to their boats
>>220448022well they wouldn't want blacks to know their own history was them enslaving and selling their brethren, then they might stop believing in fairy tales about africa.
>>220449012Slavs invented the helicopterLet's see Africans do that
>>220448022but History was written by white men.Black Qweens can do no wrong, she fought against slavery even if the books say otherwise.
>>220448458Alex Haley, like most, is a lying sack of shit. His grave should be vandalized and his tombstone should be smashed
>>220448989You very obviously don't know what toxic masculinity is, which badly undercuts your criticisms.
>>220449108>You very obviously don't know what toxic masculinity is, which badly undercuts your criticisms.toxic masculinity does not exist especially since none of you feminist retards can ever decide what it actually might be.Which undercuts your criticisms.
>>220449108feminists spent so long fixating on their idea of it that they now view them as virtues but only when they're the ones exercising it
there was an underdog city-state that actively resisted dahomey and actively shitstomped their slave raids and invasions, while also rising up against the bongs way later down the line. why hollywood didn't make a movie about those dudes is beyond me
>>220448967I think the main issue as OP noted is that there is a ton of denialism and an attempt to erase any real grappling in Africa that a lot of the coastal ethnic groups were very complicit in the trade. the defensiveness is somewhat understandable but still one can't just outright pretend it didn't happen without distorting history - and not all Africans did participate so why one would lionize a group that did is very baffling
>>220449156If only they had called it nigger behavior instead. Can't imagine why they didn't cater to you to preserve your delicate feelings.
>>220449267>If only they had called it nigger behavior instead. Can't imagine why they didn't cater to you to preserve your delicate feelings.>look at all these human behavoirs! We'll put them under "male issues" so that we don't have to talk about how women are just as bad if not worse and we can pretend that it's exclusively one sex at fault like everything feminism does!Nice try retard. Just because shittipedia is cucked to the gills with idiots does not mean anything in sociology or gender studies is legiitmate.
>>220448022reality is racist.
>>220449198Any sources for that? I'm interested.
>>220448022>the real Queen Nanisca went to war to KEEP slavery because her country's entire economy revolved around itof course hollywood's never going to make or allow a movie showing blacks to be historically and systematically awful.
>>220448166holy shit that's funny>The inspiration for the book came from the case of the rape and assault of twelve year old Marcie Scott and her sixteen-year-old sister Julie Scott.>Unlike Grisham's depiction, however, the Scotts were white and their assailant, Willie Harris, was black.
>>220449012>these guys' grandfathers destroyed the Wehrmachtembarrassing
>>220449198>why hollywood didn't make a movie about those dudes is beyond menot progressive enough for the writers
