What's up with the limited release in the US


We say we don't have censorship in the US, but shows like Book of Negroes and the Black Panther cartoon series will never get serious airtime on any American network, save BET. We barely play movies that don't star juiced up white men in movie theaters. It's ridiculous.

And they'll tell you there's no audience for it, but that's a lie (btw, I'm number 28 in the hold queue for this title at my local library, so...). So what if one or two shows starring black people have failed? How many shows starring white people fail every year, yet they still keep making those, don't they? Ugh.

Of course America has censorship, anything that portrays the facts gets short shrift. Haven't you ever wondered about the Hollywood Factory of Lies? How it churns out all that bs, turning history around, making the Americans the good guys and everyone else the 'bad'?

Look what they did with the rebellion against the British, all they wanted was the colonists to pay a little towards their own defence but they refused wanting to continue getting every last penny from their smuggling and then suddenly it is a 'war of independence' fought by a bunch of brave, fearless patriots against those evil black-hatted Brits, its just so juvenile and worse completely and utterly wrong factually. They even conflated the Nazi's with the British! Even though the brits were fighting alone against the nazi's for years.In The Patriot they had them burning a church full of kids and women (something the nazi's did in France). How on earth could they have done that??

You'll never hear about out how Americans blinded and tortured black slaves that had successfully got away to the 'bad guys' who gave them their freedom only to be rounded up after the war and treated in the most dreadful way.

Look at what America did in the film Argo, for no reason whatsoever they made the New Zealanders and Brits the bad guys, sayign they refused to help them, that couldn't be further from the truth, they really helped them out yet for some sick reason they decided to blame them instead of the Iranians!

You'll never hear the other side of the story in the states because there's only one side and that's American. It's all so sad. :-(
