I'm glad this lady called this out. This hurts my heart. Simplifying great Native Am. & African civilizations as only "violent", in order to justify grose atrocities meted out against them, is the ultimate "But what was she wearing?" move of shady historical discourse. 😒

So many of Lena's musical scns were cut for Southern audiences.😔 youtube.com/shorts/uX50a...

A commenter: "There were theaters in the South that DID show the full films. They were often owned by the Mafia." 👀 OMG, if true, I need a 🎥 about the Mafia nonchalantly overriding Jim Crow-era rules.🤯

It's been on my mind, whenever I hear about blatantly under-used, unimaginatively cast actresses, Lupita Nyong'o is the #1 example. Always having to play the downtrodden woman. Imagine my happiness & relief that she's playing Helen of Troy instd of the sorceress 😅! Kudos to Nolan! #movies #Blacksky

... and when vampires invade, his guitar ends up saving him. It's a beautiful ode to Southern Black culture and history. I'm not a horror fan generally, but this message of this film was moving and outstanding. Actually, needed in these times of #history censorship. 🙏🏾 #Blacksky #Sinners

Actlly, the film's title is misleading: It's about a young Black man in the 1930s South, who's told by his pastor Dad, that playing the 🎸 is a "sin". But his 🎸 is a symbol of the healing power of Blue music, reconnecting him to his ancestry. The main character never lets go of his passion... 1/2
