“Or to have Perfidia express her principled defiance of the fascistic state with the phrase “this pussy don’t pop for you”. (Note to white male screenwriters: not every Black woman talks like Cardi B.)” just shows they haven’t listened Junglepussy’s music (no one is surprised).

This critique actually says a lot more about the people who is doing the critique than the one they are critiquing. Isn’t that fascinating.

Funny that you said “Just like it was a choice to name another of his Black female revolutionary characters “Junglepussy”, a sexualised spin on the old racist slur “jungle bunny”.” Because I believe the actress Shayna McHayle who played the role is known professionally by her stage name Junglepussy.

Guided by film historian Mark Cousins, this bold 15-part love letter to the movies begins with the invention of motion pictures at the end of the 19th century and concludes with the multi-billion dollar globalized digital industry of the 21st.
