whats the movie about??????

Nice Movie title not sure if will appeal to black folks but well see!

This movie mite not last in theaters very long especially in the hood!

Oh, I’ve seen bits and pieces of this movie on cable, it can come off a bit dull but you actually have to sit and watch it to really like it,…which I didn’t do! lol Like i said it can come off as very dull. They have this coming to the theaters? they must be revamping the cast, because just the title alone will not get people into the show, real talk.

I saw most of it last night on cable. I’ll have to watch it again to figure out what’s it about…

it’s probably going straight to video.

i PRAY that all black men will eventually say this…too bad that wont happen lol

This was an awesome movie. It really has nothing to do with interracial dating. And I am in love with the leading man. ha. Most people probably won’t get into it cause its not a mainstream movie. But thats cool. I don’t like to share anyways!ha

What the f**k ever , as long as people willkeep on hating themselve there will be no “im trought with” bulls**t, I aint trought with black men and you best believe they aint neva gon be trought with this Holla just check the page!

Abiola I’m gonna need you to catch up this movie is rather dated…and so is the topic

I’ll date whomever I please. I date women of all cultures. And will always judge a woman based on her character, intellect and beauty. And that’s all I have to say about that.

This is actually pretty interesting because in a large way it shows that the black acting community is a little fed up with our peolpe thinking that the grass is greener on the white side of things. Black people are beautiful people whose ancestors, parents, grandparents taught us better. We were taught respect however have not so much forgotten it but tend to act out against slavery back in the day. Black men are dating out of their race for diversity so they say. They say they see no color. Back in the day the white man did see color when he sexed our mothers and daughters. And for the most part when I am appraoched by white men, they are trying to sound black and even try to pop in a black joke from time to time about collard greens and black eyed peas. It shows me that they are working far to hard to relate to the sista today. The sista trying to get even with our brothas and so on. It is really pretty ridiculous. I say whatever floats you boat but it hopefully is for love and nothing more. Brothas ale often been quoted as saying on the internet and in interviews that white woman are so easy and sistas are not. I think that shows what the majority of black really think about what they are dating and why. It’s sad that a large portion of white woman don’t get it and just seriously do not care about that factor. A black man has also been quoted as saying that the sistas are strong and have attitude. And they are right about that. The sistas won’t lay down for a white man just so she can be his first. A sista will respect her ethnic first and support the fact that she will not be used no matter what the cost. If she has to be alone hell a lot of black woman will take that option if it opts to save their morals and self esteem. Low self esteem is when another woman of another race dates a black man who has money and credentials and dares him to leave her. The dare has often seemed to lead to our brothas coming back home to the sistas broke because the other (kind of woman) was a gold digger and only wanted him truly for what he had and could give her. I am blessed to be a sista with morals. Thanks grandma. I love you for teaching me to stand strong and black. I got blessed with the best of both worlds. I have no reason to be ashamed or inferior to a white woman who carefully curls up around our black men and allow themselves to be strangled to death do them apart.
Blessings,

Demasquese, you disgust me. You act like you got all of us on lock. Well, I’m the brotha that won’t go to your page because to me you’re just like most other white women on here. You feel you are entitled to have any black man you want and you’re arrogant about it too. I wouldn’t give you the time of day even if I had a flava flav clock around my neck as huge as BIG BEN! You’re played. I know your type. You’re the type that was always told by daddy to stay away from brothas, then got your first taste and was hooked on us. During that time you got play from the lamest of the brothas and your head got big. Well, I’m not one of your followers and never will be. I’m not saying I’m the best looking brotha on the planet but this is one face that you will never show up on your RECENT VISITORS spot on your page, because for me I don’t have to be through with you because I never started. Food for thought. You do the dishes! Don’t let your arrogance get the best of you.

Oh God! Knock it off! Give me a break! Why? Black men will never be through with white women. That is just a fact. Black women, don’t dissilusion yourselves.

I’m dating a “white girl”…..and she is the sweetest women that I’ve ever been with. I don’t hate the sisters or any particular race for that matter. I’m just not what the so-called typical black woman wants in a guy. Furthermore, her ethnic origin has had nothing to do with the slave trade. so thats what it is!

And Fly, I made the mistake of going to that page. Pretty Girl, but the fact thet she feels so free to drop the N-bomb kinda killed it! Ignorance isn’t sexy. Oh, and I wouldn’t get too comfortable with saying that around everyone, Demasques. (Is that pronounced like Damascus or something?) It may fly in Va., but you’re liable to catch a fat lip elsewhere. Just a li’l advice….

The only people who think that white women are better than black women are people who don’t know many white women. They’ve built having a white woman up in their heads to be the end all and be all of existance, when they’re just women like any other woman. Only the outside is different. You can’t judge if a woman is good or bad by their color. That’s just ignorance. There are good and bad women in every race.

lol i would love if somebody could learn how to spell “through” cuz “trought” isn’t a word dear lol. i’ll buy you a dictionary for your birthday :)

Years ago I used to be a heavy metal muscian and I dated a lot of white women, primarily because most of the sistahs I ran into said “you act like a white boy” and most of the sistahs who were into the rock scene only wanted to date white guys. Then one day around about 25 or so I read a book entitled “Sexual relations Between Black and White” (reading is such a dangerous thing) and stopped dating white women altogether. That was 29 yrs ago and I haven’t looked back…Its true that there are a lot of black men who date white women…But what’s not talked about are the numbers of sistahs who do nd have done the same thing for years. We see a black male celebrity with a white woman and folks see red…What about Lena horne, Pearl Bailey, Nichelle Nichols, Leslie Uggams, Barbara macnair, Dorothy Dandrige, Josephine Baker, Eartha Kitt, Shari Belafonte, Alfre Woodard, lonetta mckee, Whoopie Goldberg, kerry washington, Chaka Khan. Minnie Ripperton, what’s her name Beauvois, Angela Davis etc. what about them? I’ll never forget a lecture on Afrocentricity by Molefe Assanti where this sistah showed up with her white boyfriend.

What I find interesting is that we always overlook the fact that most black men insist upon living their lives with a black woman by their side. You hear that 7% of black men are involved interracially…Okay…Even if ts 10%…But what about the other 90%? Don’t they count too? Its like the “where’s the black father?” hype. We’re everywhere! But no one counts us…We’re at the ball games, the plays, the day care centers…But all we hear about are the ones who didn’t show up…(A word to the sistahs..Men generally bond with the woman and then the child..If you were a booty call, then don’t expect him to love the child…Why should he? We don’t gain an ounce, throw up, feel anything kicking inside, our nipples don’t sore and our water doesn’t break..Not one of us could even tell you which over achieving sperm cell even made it thru..So if you know that you were a booty call and you decide to have the baby..Don’t be surprised that he’s not around…And before you have sex with him, at least have some kind of idea where you are on his list of priorities…)

I find all of this a “black woman wouldn’t take this” and a “black woman wouldn’t take that” to be amusing. No two women (black or white) are alike at 4am when goodbyes are being said..And all are subject to making compromises that they’d never tell their friends..And we MEN are the same way…But on this note..History has proven that no man can fight a war on 2 fronts and win…If you’re one of those “strong black women” who confuses assertiveness with combativeness then that might be the reason you’re alone…No man who values his peace and the solitude of his home is going to deal with a woman white or black whom he can’t realax with…I’d suggest that before you give Tyrone your phone number that you make sure that you’re really done with Jovan…I’d also suggest that sistahs reevaluate your definition of masculine strength…Too many of you eqaute thuggery with strength and some how believe that what you’re sitting on can magicaly transform a knuckldraggin savage into a man who will love, protect and provide for them…”Womanist” rhetoric notwithstanding..Even sistahs
aint that bad! As a people we are still recovering with 400 yrs of slavery and 100 yrs of aparthied..I hope that we artists begin to create thousands of dramas, adventure and silly love movies..I wanna see beautiful black women in the arms of strong brothas…laughin, lovin, livin, fightin, forgiving… all that good stuff… We owe it to ourselves and the generations to come!

Greywolf said “Too many of you eqaute thuggery with strength and some how believe that what you’re sitting on can magicaly transform a knuckldraggin savage into a man who will love, protect and provide for them…”…………………….real talk !!! i love my sistas but for those who wanna be on sum dumbass s**t, hey thats their choice !! oh yeah that movie was funny though ! independent films are 10x’s better than lame ass predictable hollywood movies ! peace

Now…………………
Back to the movie. It was a GOOD FLICK. It really had nothing to do with interaction dating. The title is catchy, zingy, and controversial. Great selling technique. It was given that title , because “EVERYBODY AND THEIR MOMMA” would respond to a title like that.
It is definitely an “art indie film”. It is a bit frugal in the production value, but still good. If Brad Pit and Halle Berry had been in the movie main stream America would have seen it. It would have actually gotten funding and appeared in the theater. I just had to interject that though.The plot is more about a young black man in his mid 30s who doesn’t really fit into contemporary hip-hop culture, and his misdirections and hang-ups with women. It is through some serious soul seraching and owning up to his own short comings that the protagonist discovers he is the problem, not interracial dating. The movie is saying get yourself “right” and love will follow, no manner what color- (race, culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation) that love comes in.
What it is not is a cautionary tale of the tale of those “black american culture destroying, self hating evil black men, who don’t know their history and love those “weak” willed white women. OK….
No it is not that type of movie. If you listen to the director and her commentary, it is a movie that encourages real true honest LOVE without the hang ups of the current state of race retaliations. Yes, we should remember the past, but know the past is just that. …akuna matata, akuna matata………
No you may not just lynched for “Race-Mixing”. You may be socially ostrichized, though. No, America isn’t the ideal homogeneous mix and blend of cultures and ethic groups, yet. We are a very young country, and the past sins of our fair skinned ancestors still sting especially with the problems we still have today.
Society is progressive and things are usually better in the future. Just think of all the wonders and conveniences the future has provide us with.. the internet, TV, surgery, antibiotics… Though I must admit social change is the hardest for people to make. It has happened and it will happen agin the future.
