What did you think of the movie about the Dahomey enslaving all of their neighbors, working them on plantations, and selling them to European slavers? Also what did you think of the movie glorifying a people who yearly carried out human sacrifices of thousands of slavers? This movie is supposed to be about glorifying black heroes, when really the Dahomey were terrible. The premise of the movie is Africans fighting the "evil" white people, when really the Africans do the same thing but worse.
@@colinreese do you really care or do you find solace in the belief that it’s ok what your ancestors did to Africans because of what they did to each other is much worse?
@@colinreese You care not about slavery you hate what the films show, never seen so many European upset about a so called slave film, you all seem to be on over drive in telling people not to watch like I never seen before
@@drinkswithdrea I don’t agree with the “real” reason why Colin Reese is upset with this movie, but we as BP should also stop glorifying the wrong heroes! The Dahomey were evil as they come and were destroyed for trying to keep their slave empire. We can do so much better than this story. Want real black heroes? Check out Zumbi the Palmares or Chico Rei, these were people worth celebrating!
@@RandomNPC001 it’s not glorifying anything, it’s taking inspiration from the past to bring awareness to current generations of the rich and complex history of Africa. We’d be foolish to think Africans didn’t play a role in keeping the slave trade going, but we’re even more foolish if we think the French and British were being noble in trying to end slavery in Africa. One thing history has taught us, is that Europeans do not like to see black people prosper financially. Any examples of black wealth end in destroyed communities with no path forward. Any involvement Africans had in slavery was either for survival or I’ll get you, before you get me! Europeans have been putting black people in this position for hundreds of years, and now we supposed to just ignore one of the most powerful militias in African history because we’re letting our colonizers tell our stories and blame us for our own demise. It’s their oldest trick in the book…. Just go see the movie and then learn more about the history
John we love you unconditionally here in London! We fully support you for who you are and what you represent! Words are not enough to express how much we appreciate the things you are doing for people, diaspora race and culture. We are dam well PROUD! Thank you
I'm so proud of this brilliant young man and I have a greater respect for him now that I've heard this interview. He is so phenomenal. I saw The Woman King 3 times. I took my eldest child, my friends and my two grandsons on my last trip to the theater. I have a deeper respect for Viola Davis. Thanks to people like you. 💪
Love this guy, thanks John I’m in the UK. too, the problems regarding race is here alright just hidden most of the times. Thank you for using your platform positively.
This man is amazing. Him weilding the lightsaber should've led to him becoming one of the next Jedi's to continue the Star Wars storyline, but that's done..Looking forward to more great projects from him!
John B, Didn’t watch Star Wars but here you speak TRUTH! Definitely a fan... can’t wait to watch all your movies now!! From Peckham too , the main actor in Snowfall series ,Idris also so dope actor!! Damn Peckham greats
It beyond pisses me off how Disney treated Boyega, how Star Wars & its fans treated Boyega, & how wider fans of film & media have treated him. Hes a damn talented actor and stood up for us - the poor, non white people, & more - when it counted.
this was a great interview he is on the right side of history. "di man dem", "di crib nice", wow Jamaican culture has really influenced mainstream British culture. I have experienced light prejudice in England when I visited I didn't stay in the hood but I experienced it and it's more subtle. Plus English people are very two-faced they will smile in your face and do horrible things behind your back. Racism is not just what you see or hear, how are the systems how are the institutions are we being allowed in to make progress.
@@kJ922-h3j I don't think all of England is racist at all, if that was the case why do so many of your white sisters and girlfriends have babies with my black Jamaican cousins? That's a sure sign that someone is NOT racist right? so many mixed-race babies. oh well, Cheerio.
The story about method acting I believe is from Marathon Man, where Dustin hoffman’s character was supposed to be awake for an extended period of time and he had stayed up all night and when he came to set, Laurence Olivier said “have you ever tried acting?”
Ariana Grande is actually Italian she’s not Puerto Rican she’s not Hispanic but she has a way of pushing that narrative to her own benefit her last name is not even really grande look it up
This young brother looks like Denzel in Mo Betta Blues. Handsome chocolate man. Sweet to his parents,socially aware..Hey young ladies with at least 75% MELINATED y'all better get this one.🥰
I’m an African (Kenyan) American child of first generation immigrants, both of my parents are from Kenya but most of my siblings except 1 were all born and raised in the US. I’ve always been proud and happy to be black and it’s funny when I went to college I had a friend tell me he’s never met someone so happy/proud about being black I’m like of course why wouldn’t I!? Mind you he was a black international student from an African country. I don’t know how to be any other way I’m on John Boyegas type of time I respect him so much for this conversation
Just what I was thinking. Need more Denzels that aren't going to be sell outs at the top. So tired of supporting black men just to watch it blow up in your face. He appears to be a respectable man. But Hollywood is Hollywood and I don't look to the entertainment industry for heroes. But he's definitely new and refreshing talent.
Ariana Grande is NOT Puerto Rican, she is of Italian Descent. So, she's basically white which explains her pale complexion when she was on Victorious when she was a teenager. Also, she grew up in one of the sunniest states in the country, Florida. But, people don't naturally get darker when they go from teenager to adulthood. It's either from birth to kids. Even when you are elderly you might lighten a bit. She's probably self-tanning because she jumped several shades darker from Victorious to now.
STOP LYING‼ I have watch several interviews of his in the past two days and he has gotten nothing but LOVE from black Americans, Africans, and other black people from the diaspora! You like the rest of the YT people on social media who are hating on him and this movie are trying your hardest to SOW CHAOS in the comment section trying to discourage BP from seeing this movie!! YOUR A LIAR‼
@@bocajr4life Latinx is a term to denote Latin American who largely speak Spanish and have mixed ancestry; European, Native American and African. Arianna Grande is fully Italian and thus European, Italian is a Latin language but the term Latinx isn't typically used to refer to Italians at home or abroad.
@@Jay-Kay-Buwembo I am Latino and trust me we don’t use that term. That’s an idiotic invention of the American left. And for the record there are millions of us who like way more European than Arianna. 😀
@@bocajr4life Arianna uses makeup to gain a racially ambiguous look. Yeah most Latinos are European in ancestry but typically when someone thinks of a Latino they are thinking of somebody who is mixed.
Americans interviews are lazy in general. Too many repetitive and basic questions, the worst is when they talk over the guest or don't let the guest finish their answer. Very few and I mean few give genuine knowledgeable interviews
This dude made me a fan. I like how he gets down. Unapologetically Black.
🙌💕
Yes!!! Absolutely love John & his honesty & openness...!!! ♥️
@Etienne Newell What is the difference?
*I wish him nothing but greatness.*

He represents us so well

Here in England, they do passive racism. They try to be slick with it and act like they ain’t when highlight what they said or done. Big up JB
Yep, most definitely. We all know this. 💯
And in Canada too, I'm a Black Brit now living in Canada.
Yea but there’s also sinister forms of racism in the UK too we’re just Gaslit into believing it doesn’t happen rip Chris Kaba
I love this interview and am an instant fan of his 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾♥️♥️
I just love and am proud of this man...he's everything!
Big respect John Boyega, I am so glad for who he is! Big respect to Chris Kaba.
Lol they were lowkey trolling him. But he was so articulate and laid-back that it impacted nothing. ☺️
I, thank him for Stan truth to his inheritance.. it's a blessing to see the young man stand up.. for who he really are...
aman!

That Pisces sun and Virgo moon is a perfect blend. Such deep communication, he emotes beautifully.. Love JB..

@@m-jay356 Yup, I thought about going into more detail but you gotta be careful w/ the trolls out here
How is he going to be related to palp or darth makes no sense

Dear God protect everything this man stands for
Proud. Love this guy.
Woman king was great! The nuances of the subject matter were well handled. The fight choreography was brilliant!
Hollywood need more black action stars that are martial artist that's what we need
Make them yourselves
I fall more in love with this man everyday!
We need to protect my brother 🙏🏾... #SouthAfrica

No one really asks him about Detroit! That was a heavy role
Very proud of this young man, always been a fan.

Right!! and she tans heavy. Her name is pronounced Gran-dee.
