I DON'T LIKE THE CONCEPT

I blame her. As professional in this business, I know you could never know for sure until you see. And, let's remember, she reading a review or whatever is just an assumption. I can't find a review, yet I do know way too many people who saw it on the film festival circuit.

BTW... as a TRUE black woman I wonder why you would take pleasure in breaking another black woman down

I think she was trying to say that your argument didn't seem very well thought out, given that you haven't seen the move. I might be inclined to agree with her given that you so aggressively attack her based on pure paranoia.

lmaooo they are calling you ignorant because you are hating on a movie you havent seen, youve blown past the theme and complained about the concept.

You are ignorant, and whats even worse, you are calling others ignorant for not considering your baseless opinion. Thats the worst kind of ignorance because you will argue that you arent just talking out of your ass.

Sure you can tell us why you wont see the movie, but you cant tell us whats wrong with a movie if you havent even seen it. That defines ignorance.

I gotta say also, that with a name like sarahisdumb2 you shouldnt really be knocking on the classiness of other peoples names.

Why??? Because it happens in real life, that's why. It's a story about one character's experience. The black women that he encounters don't have to represent all black women. Moreover, it's well within the realm of possibility that an atypical black man might not get any love from the sistas. I've know several guys in that same boat.

You'd think that there would be an even distribution of oddball black women and men. Perhaps there is, but oddball black women typically remove themselves from all contact with black people. They don't even have black female friends, let alone a black boyfriend. So, the oreoish brother is left in a situation where he can either continually bang his head against a wall trying to win the affections of black women whose interests lie in fly ninjas and jailbird thugs, or he can date the women who are interested in him.

he's not stereotping black women...but he is bein realistic...ppl may say that opposites attract but for the most part ppl really just date ppl with similar interests...therefore his character was a black man who listened to indi rock, wrote graphic novels and still plays wayy to many video games...so we can write out chicks from the hood...successful black women who are like real life clair (cleo???) huxtable...n the black girls that are artsy but don't date black guys....there i *beep* said it black chicks do the same thing....so yea he has a significantly smaller target group...in making this argument i also considered the fact that they're really aren't that many black ppl in america either...so yea the concept is really well done actually and u should watch it...for an indie film its pretty good i gave it 6/10

You really haven't seen this movie have you? The main black female love interest is the "oddball" of "oddballs". This film probably has more "oddball" black women than any I've seen in recent memory. i mean one of the black women he goes on a date with is an extreme sports enthusiast.

No,we aren't. Black women have issues mainly because we're always told that we aren't good enough simply because we're not white women by this racist society, THAT'S why. And as a black woman, I'm tired of these stupid-ass generalizations being about us all the damn time. Hell, the main reason black women are so-called "difficult" is because we're always had all these bull**** assumptions and generalizations like the one you just spat out thrown at us ALL the time,and no one wants to give us the benefit of the damn doubt like they do white women (who always get a pass for damn near everything they do, simply BECAUSE they're white and especially if they're blond and blue-eyed)instead, we're always seen as strong and willing to put up with a lot of bull****, even though we're human,we get tired of being strong all the time just like anybody else, and we *beep* up and make mistakes just like anybody else on the planet.

Then, there's been this whole thing about why a lot of us are well-educated but single, as if no other type of women have these same exact problem---excerbated by just plain old-fashioned racism----we don't fit the stereotype of what women are supposed to act like, or at least what white society thinks we ought to act like---we never have, so they're always had a problem with us. Added to the fact that we're always until recently had very little control of any negative images of us shown in the media, and that's always compounded things. And don't tell me you're never met a non-black woman that wasn't the same way. I swear, everyone always loves to dump on black women because that's always been the case, and the hell with how we as black women feel about a damn thing. Seriously, people who do that can go *beep* the hell off somewhere, for all I care.
