The blackest movie ever made.

A father-son road trip movie where they go fishing, end up at a concert and talk through their issues is the “blackest movie ever made”?

Jokes aside, the fact that you see that scenario as so non-black is part of what's wrong with how Society views black people. We aren't a monolith, yes black dads take their sons on roadtrips wtf.

I don’t see it as non black - I also don’t see it as black. It’s a cartoon about anthropomorphic dogs. No race or ethnicity owns it.

That's not what you just said though, you implied that black people going on a road trip and talking about their problems is non black. That's a stupid thing to say.

That’s what you inferred. I merely illustrated that the movie is about X and the categorisation of X as solely “black” media is nonsensical. It’s about X and the idea that X is limited to one culture or ethnicity is absurd - it can be about any culture or ethnicity.

Lmao no one is arguing this just take the L. The original comment was also a reference to an episode of Atlanta about this movie

It’s not about winning or losing. It’s just my opinion that, regardless of how Donald Glover or others feel, and I can’t believe I even have to type this but, ‘A Goofy Movie’ (1995) is and should not be attributable to any culture or ethnicity.

That's not what you were implying originally and no one is buying that this is what you "merely illustrated." A joke went over your head and you were low key racist about it

Keep posturing bud - might net you more empty upvotes from others like you. Read my first comment and take it at face value. Or don’t - either way you’re objectively wrong.

Man you really are incapable of reading the words explicitly recorded without reading anything more into them hey. Others like you means other posturing idiots who can’t do the above.

What would your interpretation be if someone said this, "A father-son road trip movie where they go fishing, end up at a concert and talk through their issues is the “blackest movie ever made?"

It needs no interpretation.

The movie is about THESE THINGS HAPPENING (see ‘X’ a few posts back). None of THOSE THINGS have ANYTHING to do with race or culture and are obviously universally normative. So, saying that the movie (which is made up of THOSE THINGS) encapsulates a race or culture (other than possibly 90s Americana) makes no sense. That’s what I intended by the post.

I was incorrect in assuming Americans like you could read a very simple and concise sentence without getting heated or drawing extreme political inferences.

Lmao a reference went over your head and you implied something racist. Get over yourself. If that's what you wanted people to get out of your post, then maybe you should have written something else

I’d probably be as jumpy as you if my country was in the state yours is in. Hope things improve for you mate.
