I’ve never even considered asking whites their opinion on the movie because I genuinely don’t give a dimma damn what they thought of it.
white people love explaining how they didn’t really like sinners

I hate when dialogue is overly explained. If I’m reading a book or watching a show, especially if it’s about black culture, I don’t need every detail explained because I should get it. If non black people are engaging with the work, tell them to use Google.
