Off the top of my head, here are 15 BA films that were successful without needing Africans or Brits.
Can you name ONE African or Black British film that was a global success without telling BA stories and without BA leading actors, writers or directors?

Lol I’m not being racist, it’s a fact that the worst takes about music on this app always come from one continent.

Mind you, 6 of the 7 actors who have won the coveted top category at the Oscars have been Black Americans and the 7th (Sidney Poitier) had to be trained by Americans in Harlem. ♥️🔱🖤
Play with someone else, hoe

An African father meets his son's Black American friend and immediately questions her education.
Then he says:
“Black Americans don't understand how easy they have it.”
His son responds:
“Dad, you know about four Black Americans, and you met them all today.”
🎯
How do you develop such strong opinions about people you barely know?

Black Immigrants are contradicting themselves because their entire modern lives are emulating Foundational Black Americans culture from music, fashion, to speaking is all in imitation of Black Americans, even the movies.
None of them are ever using THEIR OWN culture. Tethering

Africans have no lineage or historical capital in 🇺🇸. They’re not innovative and have no global influence or soft power fba people do dear. I welcome african delusion it exposes them and legitimatizes fba delineation and lineage. #FBA🇺🇸

This story is a white supremacist HOAX.. The white supremacist are so desperate for anti-Black narratives they have to make up nonexistent fantasy stories like this

More like there are so many different Black Am customs and experiences that you can't pinpoint and FAKE a persona based off of it. It has to be lived and authentic instead of following guidelines. If we did have a singular culture it would STILL be copied to death so now what?

I refuse to allow us to take responsibility for immigrant cultural identity disorders.

Why does this argument feel so familiar familiar? Oh yeah because it’s the same one that white people who “grew up around all Black people“ use when defending co-opting culture that doesn’t belong to them. Experiencing other people’s culture doesn’t make it mine.
