Barry is just BRILLIANT man, have so much respect for him
Barry Jenkins is brilliant...the Ancestors are Proud...THANK YOU ❤️🖤💚
Barry is one of my favorite directors. Nikole also asked really engaging questions. Barry was really interested and involved in the conversation because she related to him as a person and artist, not a celebrity.
Two of my favorite people to watch. Love the conversation.❤️🖤💚
I'd recommend the book The Underground Railroad Records by William Still (a conductor on the actual Underground Railroad).
Also, for me it's always been ethnicity: African-American (with or without hyphen)/race: black.
I’ve consumed both projects and was edified on both projects. Thank you for allowing us to to participate in this conversation. What’s interesting that was my take on what Kanye was saying, I not dare try to explain another man’s statement and he has had plenty of opportunity to clarify his statement.
THANK YOU -
Thanks Mr producer
I wish you the best B.J. ♥️
Most Africans on the continent have been told to stay away from African Americans, like most Caribbean peoples including Haitians. They are perfectly fine taking advantage of all the gains and opportunities obtained by the African Americans, but they seldom feel solidarity with the people. I think its a slap in the face to think, that it isn't marginalization to have other Black ethnics groups tell the stories of African Americans. Lets be real, the first Black President mixed with Nigerian and white, the first female VP to be mixed with every other race, but African American.
one of the best
The Underground Railroad did exist. Coleson Whitehead’s book is a fictional embellishment of it’s history and this movie is a ’re-conceptualisation’, as the director puts it, of that book. So it’s a second-generation interpretation of an inherently nebulous subject and not an attempt at an accurate historical account of it. Viewers need to keep that in mind. How much of it is fact and how much is fantasy? There’s no way to know for sure. As a side note, improvising over historical events is risky at best but when you’re injecting personal preferences (or a topical socio-political message) into it you’re really walking on thin ice.
Wait, so there was an actual train underground? That sounds so badass!
Subject matter come to the real south and get your information. How many blacks did you have behind the camera
This is not art and you took it too far
