Amazon,
Hulu, and Netflix have compiled a list of movies that are meant to
show the plight of Black people around the world. If you browse
through you will see chains, fire, and a lot of sad looking Black
folk. It's not cool. I know these companies mean well with what they
are doing but a lot of the films they suggest are trash films to
begin with or just straight up depressing as fuck. As I watch people
I know and online check out these movies I just think “We aren't
just struggle!” As hard as it is to be Black we actually do manage
to find humor in the world. Hell, think of the ten best comedians
ever and at least seven of them will be Black. That is if you have a
sense of humor. Or maybe you haven't been exposed to much Black
stuff. That is another thing I am realizing as the Black Lives Matter
protest and movement continue. A lot of people were never exposed to
things that didn't look like them.
