Let’s hope that Nick Canon stays true to his tweets after a rant that started about him being sick of slave movies ended in him saying he plans to rush and start development of a positive project himself.
The media mogul is well connected enough to not let this go and seeing as he made a fuss I want him to make good on all his talk.
He took to Twitter and said:
“If I see another damn slave movie…AARRRGGHHHH!!!!! I think they keep making them because they want to keep Black folks on edge! They don’t want us to get to comfortable! Yeah we know about Obama…But don’t forget about Toby!”
Then went onto say:
“They called this lady a slave, I call her my grandmother’s grandmother. Why don’t they make movies about our African kings & queens? #OurHistory I would lNove to see a film about Akhenaton and his beautiful wife Queen Nefertiti! Or Cetewayo, a King who was a war hero. Im about to drive to my office RIGHT NOW and start the development! New Hollywood Trend, Black King and Queen films! Starring Black People!! #NoDisrespectToElizabethTaylor.”
Of course we need more African kings and queens in the movies and hopefully someone will wake up to that and start producing soon…. Maybe Nick is the man, or maybe he will bail on us!
What do you think?
