“i have no problems with white filmmakers making films that focus on black life: the issue is only one of vision--perspective”

“why not depict a little mature communication between a black man and a black woman? no doubt that would not have been entertaining to crossover audiences. better to give them what they are used to, stereotypical representations of black males as always and only lying, cheating dogs and professional black women as wild, irrational, castrating bitch goddesses”

so happy i stumbled upon this. never knew hooks was this devout of a film person. excited to get into it. it’s already pretty good
