Movies with BM/WW Couples

I know I mentioned it on past threads:How To Make Love to A Negro Without Getting Tired. I saw it at a art theater more than 20 years ago.

Co-sign. I'm embarrassed nowdays for folks when I ever hear them use the term "Swirl". It's a word I associate with hater site or MediaTakeout using whenever they wanna throw shade or put on blast a Black celebrity's IR 'ship.

That Christelyn Karazin chick embarrassing herself a couple weeks ago & getting put on blast didn't help either.

Christelyn Karazin had been getting a lot of shade lately. I had heard about her story of her relationship and the challenges that she and her husband faced. But she still has her subscribers to support her.
 
The Hollywood Reporter interview at TIFF 2016:

Director Amma Asante and actor David Oyelowo sat down with THR's Rebecca Ford to discuss their upcoming biographical romantic drama film 'A United Kingdom.'

Yep.

Botswana's neighbors Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and South Africa - countries with white minority rule were mad about the marriage and put the UK's Labour party-led government under pressure to bar Khama from chieftainship.

Since Botswana was a protectorate under Britain, South Africa exerted pressure on the British government to have Khama removed from his chieftainship.

The UK had been known to have an interest in the large deposits of gold and uranium in South Africa, that could help offset Britain's debt from the world war.

Most notably, there was fear that South Africa might impose sanctions on Bechuanaland or even make military incursions into the country, an unwanted war that could draw Britain once again into battle.

Thus, Britain acceded to South Africa's call to dethrone Khama from chieftainship, and declared him an exilee to England from Bechuanaland in 1951.

In Britain there was wide anger at the decision and calls made for the resignation of Lord Salisbury the minister responsible at the time.

I'm 25 minutes into the 2012 movie "Red Tails". This movie has a black "All-star" cast, sort of. The reason I said "sort of" is because a lot the actors in this movie (Such as Nate Parker, David Oyelowo, Michael B. Jordan, Tristan Wilds, & Leslie Odom Jr.) were no-names back when this movie was released over 4.5 years ago. This movie is proof that all these years Hollywood tried to act like they were no young upcoming Black actors was Bullshit.


Anyways David Oyelowo's character Joe has a love interest who is an Italian chick who doesn't speak English named Sofia (played by Daniela Ruah;The chick who plays Kensi Blye on "NCIS: Los Angeles")

Admitting that would be a threat to their posterboy of hollywood, the white man. With these up and coming young black talent and T.V. putting them on, Hollywood's film industry got nervous, so nervous they whitewashed hollywood acting oscar categories. Think about that, why was it mainly the acting categories the past two years that had zero diversity?

This theatrical poster for "Red Tails" is laughable. Nate Parker & David Oyelowo easily have the biggest roles in the movie. They are basically the actual 2 leads.

I mentioned that on a thread years back when that movie was released. I saw Red Tails more than once.

As did I. I was impressed with the film. I wasn't at all surprised by the negative press and input on the internet. The truth is that a lot of people have never heard of the Red Tails. Before this film, HBO made a film called The Tuskegee Airmen with Laurence Fishburne. It was no surprise that the white respondents didn't believe that blacks did serve in WW2 and were heroes. But the one response to Red Tails was not about race, but the script. I felt that the script was a little off, but then, again, does anyone really knew what these people said in those days?

I actually want really impressed worth Red Tails. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I found it lacking.

I agree, but I felt it was important to go and support the film and the idea that there is an audience out there for stories that don't center around the exploits of white men.

What happened after the war with the Airmen & their Italian wives? I've seen folks say that when Black men who fought in WWII came back home they were treated like shit & were lynched if they had a picture of a WW in their wallet.

Me, too. But there was a documentary on white women in Britain who had romances with black American G.I.s during WW2. I saw it on YouTube.
I'll have to see if there were any stories about Italian war brides with black G.I.s.

I haven't heard that, but it's sounds about right. SMH
