I like the download option but that is just giving out the bootleg....
and u really think MORE time would have helped the backlash?
Tell him to get on the black side. Apologize to black women. Focus on black women and men solely. Don't worry about appeasing whites. Go on the tour and hit up every black radio station, TV show and everything else.
I'm buying out ads at all major black events. I'm not even banking on white people going to see this film at all. I'm finding where the niggas at and we rolling with it like that point blank.
A simple Oscar nomination would send a movies profits into orbit.
Co sign
See I agree I thought he would do black colleges try to host something on BET or another black cable channel, AMC or TCM or Netflix or History channel or PBS to really get that going...some kind of book tour.
And high schools too.
Just be more proactive...
Cause unfortunately to me his best interview was his last one on breakfast club.
and it was too late
fuck those film festival circuits. they not going to see the movie.
do that after the fact. you say its for black people and for our future and to inspire. then hit the streets. literally.
should've been campaigns like straight out of compton for this one.
But he has to get it first.
I don't feel after he sold the film and the backlash that he promoted the film properly
Great example
7 million plus opening weekend is a flop
was they saying all them other slave shits was a flop?
he got his money, fuck this petty flop shit
was they saying all them other slave shits was a flop?
he got his money, fuck this petty flop shit
Exactly, no one calls 12 Years A Slave a flop and they did nearly the exact same numbers opening weekend. Niggas just aint going to see it. Could be slaved out, but we aint even supporting real life "Djangos" niggas love talking about.
When you realize you can't change someone's mind about something no matter how much sense you make the sooner you stop trying the better
How often you see me going back and forth with anyone on here for too long?
I'm the same way everywhere
You making too much sense fam
it couldn't have flopped because they were in the black before it even dropped lol
but don't let facts confuse their hit piece arguments.
never see black people more passionate than when its time to tear down another black person.
All the "cool" white people ppl claim they know didn't go see the shit either.
All those white people Parker was pandering to before it dropped, did not go see it.
Should have never even pandered to them once Fox bought it. Just walk in and say if you want this to be a hit we need to target black people.
Just target them. Get on every circuit every show. We doing podcasts, we doing steve harvey show, we doing it all. We doing wendy williams. We going on judge mabeline. we hitting every spot up. Every one.
We starting with an apology for even being caught up in the bullshit.
"I was young, I was fortunate that justice was served as I was found not guilty and i vowed to never put myself in a sketchy position like that ever again. Thanks to God's grace I have put that chapter of my life behind me. I feel for the emotions she might have been going through but I thought it would be better for both of us if we parted ways and picked up the pieces of our lives so no i have no had contact with her nor have i kept up with her life because I thought it was best for both of us. I am saddened to learn that she took her life. I wish her and her family well, I also learned after the fact that she had in fact been battling depression since she was a child. Mental health is a serious issue I will not make light of and so I will leave it at that"
NOW
This movie is made by us and for us. We always say we want to see us strong and represented on the screen well this is it.
Any questions about the movie or who nat turner was just ask me..
he takes questions from host and people in the audience. If they ask about the rape just say it was in the past, i have worked in numerous films since then it is a problem now because they don't want you to see a black man fighting against oppression, especially now. That is a message that needs to be stopped. Don't go see the movie for me, go see it for yourself.
MOVE ON
Stay on the talking points don't get frustrated. Stay on them. Take the beating. Next go to college's "Yall think yall woke?" SCREEN IT AT HBCU'S all of them. Screen it and do a q&a with them after.
Roll out a national campaign. Ask a question. Fuck that hanging symbolism with the American flag, that's fake.
Roll out "Who is Nat Turner?"
Put that everywhere. BOLD LETTERING. Guerilla marketing style. Put it in the black hubs. Oakland, LA Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Charlotte, Atlanta, NYC etc etc. Put it everywhere. Who is Nat Turner?
Viral videos of a fight scene.
Don't roll out a full length trailer. Just 30 second cuts.
o to 100.
He's standing there preaching with a overseer standing by him with a gun.. he says a few words, there is no music. He pauses and then he closes his eyes.
This comes on.
It's black.
Then we're doing the flash scenes of fighting, anger, aggression. Rain, Sorrow, Pain, gritting of the teeth. People dying. Him leading the revolt. People being too scared to fight. That same overseer now at his mercy. It goes faster and faster until its all a big fast blur. Then when the music stops in this video he opens his eyes again we're back at him standing there preaching.
Cuts to black
"Who is Nat Turner?"
Have a website. whoisnaturner.com
NOTHING BUT INFORMATION ON IT.
Retweet like share a nat turner fact on the day the movie drops to win a personalized copy of the movie signed by the entire cast.
Get Nat Turner trending world wide then we will make sure the behind the scenes is available for free.
Get #1 opening weekend and Nate Parker will come to your city and have a discussion with an elementary school in an impoverished neighborhood to discuss the importance of Nat Turner.
Something like this might have worked.
@largebillsonlyplease he fucked up not consulting with you
There's no way to keep him from being a rapist out of the news.
They managed to do a pretty good freaking job of it for the 11 years he was acting in other movies like red tails and beyond the lights, the great debaters etc etc.
And then.....the cork flew off the bottle. And it became known. What's done in the dark always come to light.
if he didn't do nat turner it wouldn't have come out. period.
actually HE hadn't done it meaning raised the money wrote it directed it and acted in it then it wouldn't have come out
if it was a speilberg or lucas film we would have no idea.
global sales will bump it
If he didn't rape that woman then none of this woulda been brought up. Now we can do this what if game all day. If if's and but's were candy and nuts we'd all have a merry christmas. I'll never support and rapist no matter what movie he makes.
that wasn't what your answer to my post was.
It's the answer to your post to the answer to my post. If. If he wasn't running around raping white girls the white people wouldn't have this on him. And since he was running around raping whites this is what happens.
Yeah, that's one way to look at it. Another way to interpret it is: he's the one who should be on the couch. That guy is fucking nuts.
yep EXACTLY!! most of them never saw it before they bashed it , so its not the film ,but rather its the poiltics of anti-blackness aided by white supremacist and their minions the blackfeminzai
u killed it bruh! i hate to say it but....... but u and i , unspoken btw us and to be honest, have a sneaking suspicion that brother nate aint as "woke"
....he wanted "white acceptance' somewhat ,so theres no way he wouldve seen this route ^^ like u said the "film festival" crowd aint goin to see it either..they are mostly the liberals types that DrKing &Baldwin spoke about
Here we have a so-called 'woke' black woman, who knows about the history of false accusations of white women against black men, and this countries propensity to demonize said black men purely on the accusations of white women alone. This 'woke' black woman ALSO knows that a black man was found acquitted of raping a white woman by a white jury, and yet ...
...somehow, someway, with no more information to base her opinion on than what has been made public, she has dug her heels in w/ her belief that he is a rapist.
This 'woke' black woman has put her womanhood over her blackness in defense of a woman who probably would not put her womanhood over her whiteness for her if a white man had raped her.

I really am starting to believe most- not ALL, but most- these "woke" "afro-centric" and "feminist" black women are nothing more than the bitter foot soldier's of the Not Pretty Enough Brigade ,Squandered Looks Squadron, or Bad Decisions Division.
I say that because quality women- as in they qualify in their ability to attract and retain the interest of the men they deem attractive for a long term relationship- are to busy building and enjoying their lot in life to bitch.
These women front like it's an intellectual argument but it's really an emotional one; they're hurt/pist that they weren't choosen and/or the sun set on their looks and they didn't make hay.
So....The blame game, "There's not enough GOOD MEN".
*two cents *

Very intteresting perspective.
Knowing that, no matter how accomplished or intelligent anyone is in life, underneath all of that lies a human being regular needs and desires just like everyone else
Barack Obama wants to fuck, and Oprah's pussy gets/got wet.
Their enormous accomplishments don't change that. These women are basically using their intellect and social movements to mask emotional pain, stemming from feelings of inadequacies.

Social media has allowed the MSM to cherry pick from the feedback of these so called black feminists and gave false validation to that feedback as the views of black people as a whole.
Black men can and do check the bullshit by the so called black feminists quickly get off that "fuck black men" and rah rah shit and make themselves victims, saying they are being "bullied" and they "don't feel safe". Ironically, it's the same tactic that CACs used when cornered or called out of some fuck shit or false narratives that they spit.
The black feminist social media warriors are the worst of the worst and a scourge on a medium that could be used to rally and unite, and it does so sometimes, often a well-intentioned seed is planted and before it can blossomed it's hijacked by the BFSMW. It's
