How hard will this one pander to the black audience?


Seems like the marketing is heavily pandering towards that demographic.

All I want is for Bill Murray to get the assist on the winning basket.

for reall!! why does EVERY movie have to star a black person nowadays?? in 10 years white people will be banned from acting in any movie, and 10 years after that white people will be banned from even buying movies.

reply

Every movie? It's every ad on tv or on the internet.

I thought I was the only one noticing that.

LeBron James is the reason this movie was made and it features people who portray his family. Don Cheadle is a very popular actor. What's the issue here?

reply

Why cant his kids be white, its just a movie after all?

reply

Indeed, why not? Fascinating observation, thanks for the input.

I've never seen black people play basketball. Just looting and shooting!

reply

I've seen them do all three at the same time.

HMM...A MOVIE ABOUT BASKETBALL FEATURES BLACK ACTORS AND CULTURE?....HOW WEIRD.🤔

reply

I really can't tell when ppl on this website are being sarcastic or not. Like, is OP for real? lol

reply

oh they're for real ,
If it was up to them black men would still be sitting at the back of the bus , or better yet , in chains.

Problem, whitey?

reply

This movie doesn’t talk about any black issues at all just a father saving his son

reply

Pretty dumb movie, but I have no problem that it features Black people.

reply

Successful NBA star and his relationship with his son. Lots of pandering there. I mean where do they get the nerve? We all know black people are not good fathers. I'm sick of the media portraying them in a good light. I miss the days of them being on TV just as the help, the butler, coke addict, street thug, or first guy to die in a horror movie. Ah.. the good ol' days.

Sincerely,

A white man.

Indeed. People bitched because Sonic the Hedgehog had an interracial couple. (roll eyes)

reply

Does it have a sassy, streetwise black person who speaks really loud and makes a scene about everything?

Example is the ugly troll in Ghostbusters 2016.
