You're on twitter, I'm on twatter!!!

I'm sick of musicians. Why not kings for a change like Haile Selassie or Shaka Zulu?

What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.

I actually agree with you on this. The only black biopics are usually musicians, former slaves, or athletes. I want more political figures or those involved in science or technology.

Ditto! Hopefully, mainstream audiences will be receptive to seeing black leaders.

Fidel Castro will probably die soon. Regardless of what you think about him, he's had a fascinating life. Could be an interesting movie, if done right.
