Like 'TheCriticalDrinker' would say: Colored, Female, and Slavery !! This film ticks all the budget boxes, but ill never watch it. |
They had electric blenders in the 1800s, colour me impressed. |
“More perhaps than any other African state, Dahomey was dedicated to warfare and slave-raiding,” wrote Stanley B. Alpern in Amazons of Black Sparta: The Women Warriors of Dahomey, the first full-length, English-language study of the Agojie. “It may also have been the most totalitarian, with the king controlling and regimenting practically every aspect of social life.” Lets go LIBERAL GIRL POWER!!! You are celebrating the same dumb hypocrisy crap that America exposes from you every day. You think you are celebrating the black female character when as usual, the TRUTH IS A LIE!!!!! Because everything about you people are a LIE. You live a lie. You believe a lie and you fabricate lies. To be a liberal is to live in a LIE proven by this movie and your pre programmed reactions to it. LOL What flavor is the kool aid today boys and girls? Grape flavored id guess!!! LOL |
The real Ghezo did, in fact, successfully free Dahomey from its tributary status in 1823. But the kingdom’s involvement in the slave trade doesn’t align as neatly with the historical record. As historian Robin Law notes, Dahomey emerged as a key player in the trafficking of West Africans between the 1680s and early 1700s, selling its captives to European traders whose presence and demand fueled the industry—and, in turn, the monumental scale of Dahomey’s warfare. smithsonianmag site. F your lying woke industry literally trying to rewrite history to make these animals more influential than they already are. LIE SOME MORE. Liberal. LIE SOME MORE!! |
Cant anyone of you see the big picture here ? The awakening of racism for things long gone and out of today's context ? Its one of WEF ways of creating chaos and impose their tyranny. Just wait till you get a digital ID and all money will be digital. You wont be able to travel to next city or by a burger if the elites doesn't want you to. Better search for the movie "Snowpierser" cos it's becoming reality behind your back. |
@Guest-3100 Exactly. @LiberlLesbo don't be funny. That's historical facts, not my imagination. |
No, it is not a "false history in the name of woke". If it would be a fact, you would be able to substantiate it, but you can't and haven't so far. Inform yourself, there's a very readable article on Dahomey in the Britannica and on National Geographic. Read them. |
Not quite sure why I'm being focussed on here, but no, I'm not laughing. The sickening levels of white-privilege, disdain, and hatred for anything "other" on display here vary from pitiable to bestial; all are shameful. I'm looking forward to downloading a good quality copy of this when it's released. |
@LiberalLesbo.. Fighting racism and hate with racism and hate. Nice one |
No Guest-1498 she hasn't shown any racism or hatred, you got that wrong. Pointing out that us white folks have a privilege in most countries isn't racist, it's a fact. Bestial is close, but you can still call out a comment, without it being the commenter. Pitiful and shameful? That's not hatred either, just truthful. |
Why you so petty? It is a movie. It does not say documentary. It is a movie, watch IT if you want but do not unnecessarily label it. Its a movie, CHILL. |
By now you should know that this comment section is about venting opinions, not commenting movies. |
had the power status been reversed, the same sad legacy would have occurred. It's human nature to seek power and wealth, sadly this is the legacy of our species on earth, not long for it unfortunately. One day we will face annihilation and our inability to work together will be our downfall, and life will go on on Earth - with the bees or cockroaches most likely. All these minorities who try to take the moral high road will never acknowledge this - if the tables were turned, they would have behaved in exactly the same manner. I detest greed and avarice, envy and bigotry - no matter what color your skin. The real work, the true challenge, is to rise above, and recognize the good within all humans - the capacity for greater giving, and the realization that we will all need each other one day. Rise above, or perish. Just stop. Enjoy the movie, or don't. Work to have movies made that tell truth, or try. Eschew those that don't and move on. Hate serves no useful purpose. |
That's a wonderful post |
I agree with almost all you wrote Guest-4187, including that whoever had the power would probably make no difference to human behavior. I part company with moving on without confronting ignorance and hatred. Non-confrontation gives power to the wicked like Hitler, Trump, a thug with a badge, or a web-based fucktard. |
Damn we got Superman here. Absolutely true. |
That same woman king sold those slaves she freed, she didnt free them she SOLD THEM. But go ahead, think that it doesnt matter because its a movie. Just like you are programmed to think all black people are happy upper middle class laughing familys watching tv and well.....acting WHITE. Movies are PROPAGANDA now. |
