[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see a difference, at least somewhat, with the new Reese movie in that its really not about the black experience in America. Its about refugees in a post-conflict migration. Yes, being from S. Sudan and being black does inform the narrative, but its hard to conflate this entirely with narratives like The Help and The Blindside. I would venture to say their stories, their 'saving' is more in line with Cambodians in the early 80s than black Americans. But I come from a place of studying/interest in post-conflict states which are often in developing nations in the last 30 years- its part of my job at a local university- so maybe that colors how I see this example.[/quote] HUH?? The point is not about what country it is from, it is about stories that are supposedly about "black" people, but told from the perspective of the "white" person or the "white" person, who in real life may have had a minor role, is elevated to a fictional major role.[/quote]
