Watching 12 Years a Slave

[BlackVelvet]

52 min in, I knew I was going to be EFF white people but didn't expect to be pissed off at the slaves themselves


There's a reason Somalis were never slaves die as a free man than live as a slave

[Warabaha]

I think about owning slaves every month

[FarhanYare]

Somalis are not naturally big and couldn't be able to withstand the harsh weather, workload, etc. This is why they sought after west africans

Human beings can be unspeakably evil

[SultanOrder]

It was torture watching through the movie, almost walked out a few times.

[BlackVelvet]

Makes you wonder, the way those slaves were mentally shackled and accepted their position, are you currently a slave of something that you don't realise is not "normal" or shouldn't be....

Conversely the question which atrocities are being committed right now that we're ignoring or watching passively. I saw a documentary on al Jazeera, people openly and proudly calling themselves Zionists and holding a parade in New York. Evil humans live in every generation.

Most slave films make the niggas out to be passive and docile.
The reality is the opposite...slaves would often revolt...killing the plantation owners and their families.

Stories like these would be better. I don't believe there is any benefit in seeing yourself as a voiceless victim

Not just that........but only able to be liberated by ole whitey.....a reoccurring theme in this genre.
The only films that get made in the mainstream have to conform to these stereotypes.

There were other Africans in the cinema so I had to suppress my laughter during this ridiculous scene where the white guy tells the slaves to clap for him while he sings the "run nigger run" song.

Jas

Is that WHY you posted the Reparations article?



I like 12 years of slavery. It was good acting both by Lupita and Fassbender. Both actors are extremely sexy.

Yeah right buddy, slave revolts were few and far inbetween. The oppression was too powerful.

[anzeloti]

I couldn't watch it more tha 30 min


The way that house negro who directed the movie jumped around the stage in the Oscars was so embarrassing, self hating danyeer

[Khalid Ali]

What a boring movie hurda ii qabatay watching it

Nin free ah oo slave la dhigay oo plantation ka shaqeyey 12 years than freed again

I liked Django more

Never seen a nigger on a horse

[LiquidHYDROGEN]

I find it difficult to empathise with slaves.
