Fuck your remakes, Hollywood. Give us a Robert Smalls movie.

@spazzpp2 This great story would not receive a warm welcome I'm afraid, because there was no white man to save him, like in "Django". Nobody wants the masses to believe they can save themselves, right? That would certainly lead to chaos!  

But seriously, thanks for sharing this great story. However, I'm afraid that certain type of person will inevitably point at the second bullet and say "Told you! They steal!" I know that kind of person myself...

@pfm @spazzpp2 “this will never happen because racists won’t like it” is likely something that had to be shouted down in every Hollywood proposal that ended in a movie about a black protagonist being released.

Fuck em, don’t worry about calling out their concerns because it normalises that it will happen. It *should* be a shock when it happens.

I say this as someone who has a habit of pointing out the potential pitfalls of a good idea - it kills enthusiasm more quickly than it solves problems.
