Has anyone watched the trailer for American Skin? Does America need movie like it when we're so divided already? If someone is okay with a movie about Black Lives Matter militants taking over a police station but not one about innocent Korean immigrants defending their private property after a riot sparked by police brutality , then the answer is "No." Besides, Nate Parker's The Birth of A Nation was propaganda and a rip off of Braveheart. It showed in exacting details the tortures inflicted on slaves but ignored the atrocities committed by Nate Turner and his followers. It also ignored the fact that Turner's revolt polarized Virginians, resulting in harsher crack downs on the civil liberties of Afro Americans. The Virginian government was debating ending slavery but decided not to due to Turner's actions. Parker left that out of his movie, therefore I won't be seeing his next one. So give the trailers for it thumbs down and then ignore it.
