Movies are tough because the concept may be great, or maybe there’s a great story in a book, but it may not translate to film, or the timing could be wrong and it’s not well received, ect.
Agree, timing matters
actors' acceptance speeches have often been a little dodgy - viewers don't care what political or social views actors may have, we typically appreciate actors acting well.. this year's oscars awards ceremony seems to be going above and beyond, however.. here's frances mcdormand's acceptance speech, in which she dedicates her victory to 'our wolf' and then howls like a bitch, lol.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-_be0awgwk.

I don’t consider Black Panther a woke film because that character isn’t new, but it wasn’t as good as it could’ve been. I feel it was hyped as “Black” when they should have just made a super hero movie and made it the best movie possible.
My response about Black Panther was in response to someone who said
"Woke" films don't draw big audiences

Why are blacks constantly mentioned on this thread? The reason this subject is so much discussed has a lot to do with Black Lives Matter. Oops there I said it again! BLACK. It’s ok to use the word. Much respect too and kudos to major news outlets for capitalizing Black.
Very juvenile, LOL

Now something airline related that does have a bearing on the topic is the US airline that declared they were going to make sure they had an equal number of black pilots.
What can that mean other than that they will recruit based on skin color? That one day, instead of the best pilot being given the job, a lesser-skilled black pilot will instead be given the job.
Why the obsession with minority and blacks on this thread. In earlier post on this thread it was already agreed that there is systemic racism and that it can benefit both minorities and whites. I am just curious why you seem to be obsessed with black people only benefiting from it. I am sure if you look enough will find example of others benefiting from systemic racism. Jehovah loves everyone
You still don't seem to understand what this topic is even about.
The original question from @Minimus was is systemic racism as pervasive as some will suggest? and we already cleared that huddle.

You asked me if the police are the real problem my answer is below
Ix, do you think police are the real problem and that they make race relations worse??
Nope, politics and ignorance are the real culprits
You jumped to the conclusion that society should tolerate lawbreakers. That is a huge leap.
The whole point is simple, police should be held to a higher standard because of their relative authority. The same way you will want your pilot to be held to a higher standard.
