wow, and smh at that maximus story

Welp
Film Institute has canceled its Friday screening of “Birth of a Nation,” which was to be followed by a Q&A with filmmaker and star Nate Parker, whose 1999 ? case has put the filmmaker and distributor Fox Searchlight on the defensive this past week.
AFI dean Jan Schuette made the announcement to students late Tuesday. The AFI screening would have been Parker’s first public event since the story about the ? case became widely known earlier this month.
“I have been the recipient of many different passionate points of view about the screening, and I believe it is essential that we discuss these issues together — messenger and message, gender, race and more — before we see the film,” Schuette said. “Next week, we will be scheduling a special moderated discussion so we may explore these issues together as artists and audience.”
Fox will hold a different AFI screening of “Birth” later this year. The studio has vowed to continue its theatrical release and publicity tour for the Nat Turner biopic, which opens Oct. 7, despite the recent headlines involving Parker.
In 1999, Parker and his friend, Jean Celestin, who is credited as a writer on “Birth of a Nation,” were charged with ? an 18-year old, who claimed she was unconscious after drinking heavily. Both men said the sex was consensual. Parker was acquitted of the ? charges in 2001, but Celestin was found guilty of sexual assault. He appealed the verdict and was granted a new trial in 2005, but the case never made it back to court after the woman declined to testify again. -
It has begun..Welp

Bruh in the court of law he's INNOCENT. No charges. This ? is racism at it's finest. ? gets acquitted of charges 17 years ago, and ppl still bringing it up. How many cops acquitted for killing ? have to answer questions 17 years later? I'll waitblackamerica wrote: »
Um, you do know he went to trial and was ACQUITTED of all charges? You say "it doesn't mean he didn't do it" as if he didn't already go to trial and win. He didn't do itIdk what to think.Maybe she got ? and got freaky or maybe he did let his friend smash.
If she was down,why would he have to hide his friend's name?He only told her the roomate ? her because she says she was preggo.
Let's not act like Penn state doesn't hide athletic program rapes now.
Yes this only came out because he is putting this movie out,but it doesn't mean he didn't do it.
I just don't know,but if she knew she wanted to get a train ran on her,why did her life go into so such turmoil?She killed herself.
I want to believe Nate and his dude didnt do this,but it's very possible.
The rationale of why he was aqcuited is dumb."He had sex with her before"
Being found innocent or Acquited doesn't mean you didn't do it,it means they didn't have proof or there's a technicality.
4 ? got out jail from a 20 yr sentence for a murder they didn't commit.
Also Penn State gotva bad history with hiding ? .
Idk what Parker did or didn't do,but why his man get found guilty?
His other man may be telling the truth about Nate waving dude in. -
You're right. And some of the same people who would say the same thing you just said are the main ones piling on in this situation.. Meanwhile, some of the same people are saying they can drag Parker but also support the movie.. Well if these movie folks start pulling the film and make it less and less available then it can easily flop. Oh well.blackamerica wrote: »

But they be quiet when a white man does something to a black female. -
Folks are getting mad at Harry Belafonte and others for questioning the timing of this stuff coming out but it is up for questioning. It's also fair to ask what would happen if these guys wrote a regular ass slave movie. What would happen if they wrote 12 years a slave. Would this have come out? I wonder.

The Director of those was convicted of ? child actors he worked with, videotaping it, and buying child porn.
Served 15 months.
5 years later he was back working with child actors on a big budget Hollywood film produced by Disney..........and the newsmedia of the time treated this like it was a interesting trivia fact.
So miss me with this ? .....
This is why I don't ? with liberals. They will turn on you just like that.
1) Bill Cosby is called out for past claims, but Bill Clinton's ? "was in the past, so why bring it up."
2) Nate Parker was acquitted and going through this, while Woody Allen is celebrated despite being a ? who married his daughter.
You gonna compare Cosby drugging and ? scores of women with Clinton's consentual affairs? Ok dude. Also, plenty of folks think Woody Allen is a scumbag weirdo.
Yeah, but no one's threatened to ? with his livelihood, or protest his work, or trying to get him thrown in jail for his weirdo ? . -
Tell all those feminists ? I'm going see this movie in the theaters and I'm going to make sure they give me the right tickets so money goes to his movie and not some other ? movie.
I realized that ticket sale scam ? a few years ago. I told the people I want 4 tickets for The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo and this ? printed out tickets for Mission Impossible. How the ? can you mix up those movie titles. -
I have no idea who this guy is

You need to remove any ? from your social media who called you sexist behind that post cause they not smart enough to even know what they really talking about or fighting for. They will post stupid ? on your page again and again. -

You actually try the bold!!!?
Gave up on that ? a very long time ago. Just not worth the effort. -
So now....
All the "common" folks that would have went to see this movie are going to boycott it because of the controversy that conveniently was stirred up so close to the movie being released. And now it will seem like only black extremists, misogynist, and "racist" black folks are going to see it. So when the first incident of "racially motovated violence" happens after the movie is released, what do yall think the media will say?
Will this movie be looked at as a just a cinematic depiction of history, or a tool to incite racial violence? -

You were all for it. you know what I mean? Like, when you said something, you had a ? in your mouth and the ? , and somebody on top you.
