12 Years a Slave??? Are there mind games, being played in - TopicsExpress



          

12 Years a Slave??? Are there mind games, being played in Hollywood or is this just about the dollar? Does this glorifies escapism over activism, which is a popular dogma nowadays among many blacks? So often, to get some meat with those potatoes, mean you need to step out of mainstream America. When Steve McQueen was filming a movie, in Chicago, some years back, I had a chance to meet with him I felt a very cocky & stuck up man, with the brief conversation we had. I refused to go along with people blanket opinions, people that were with me stated that Steve McQueen had very negative views, of Blacks. I dont think that his views, of the African American community, as we live today, is relevant to the production of this movie. However, I may be wrong. This is a great article because it gives an opinion and stir the waters on escapism and activism for those who understand the struggles of African Americans, of the United States. Thanks to Samuel Williams--in browsing his fb page--I was introduced to this article, written by an Haitian writer, for the Haitian Times. What do you think?
