Now we need to see a Black Wall Street movie.
FACTS!
john legend is making a series on that
Bars...
it did exist and they burned that down too...smh...no one has suffered like a black man has.(don't says Jews) jews only suffer what they agreed too with Moses and God in the book of Deuteronomy.
Aubrey Harris definitely!
To all these people who said Nate sold the movie to Fox, yall are 100% inaccurate. Nate sold the DISTRIBUTION rights to Fox. Meaning, he owns the film and once Fox recoups the $17 million, Nate gets 80% of all the revenue. Again, Nate owns the movie. Fox only owns the Distribution rights.
Thanks for making this clear. Can't wait to see the movie tonight!
Exactly... and he only gave up the distribution to Fox [over the Black producer from Netflix] was because he wanted a national release so people could go sit down in a theater and experience the movie.
Fox makes a Profit off of The Birth of a Nation. They don't just recoup the 17million and that it.
That's about 13Mill not bad
You got THAT right. Ain't no promissory note when it comes to the coins.
"The Most Dangerous Weapon, an educated black man" - 2Pac
2 Pac also allegedly raped someone......correlations are uncanny
Ogre Doug you mean framed? & Nate Parker didnt do anything, he was proven innocent case closed.....but lets talk facts ...thomas jefferson (allegedly) was a rapist...FACTS -> america raped the native americans of their land & livelihood..& the american justice system has been raping the civil liberties of african americans for hundreds of years..the correlations are uncanny..your talking in allegedly's & im talking facts..stop trying to take away from the real issues
Cali Finesse
I'm not trying to do shit. Just saying both of them got accused of rape. I don't play that race game bullshit. In my old hood, 3 niggas just got arrested for smokin 2 white boys tryin to buy drugs. Shit's fucked up all around my g
Ogre Doug then why even make that dumb comment..it was unnecassary..your tryin to tear down these black man & stomp on their achievements with those BS rape accusations
Cali Finesse
I'm not take the tampon out bro. Save the pro black speech for someone who cares, I actually have more respect for Nate Parker than I do 2 pac.
we need a movie about the Moors that ruled parts of Europe and Spain.
Trust me, some producer or directing is thinking the same.
Emo Rej great idea wow
That would be dope!
and how they worked with the Europeans to enslave Africans...Moorish Treaty
+born power.... that would be fine, but show the contribution and civilization that took place due to the Moors. also the film would have to span over 700 years to cover the end youre talking about. its like if i give you a car and years later you run me over when I'm not expecting it because you're mad i had a car in the first place. lol. Same with the Native Americans. help and get killed.
I applaud this man's bravery. Birth Of A Nation has gotta be the most Gangster shit to come out in years.
sssshhhiiiiiiiit, dont forget about django
Never that. Turner was real though.
nah I seen it. its ok
+jamal bryant You can't even compare the two.
The movie is a SOLID B.
DONT YALL DARE BOOTLEG THIS MOVIE!! YALL GO WATCH IT AT THE THEATRES !!
nikes4444 yo I was going to use my brothers Netflix account but the nigga broke so Ima have to putlock the shit outta this movie.
+OGdaJuiceMan wearing the ski mask!!!!
Another stupid ass slave movie... I wouldnt even boot leg the bullshit!
Actually it's not like any other slave movie ever. Read up on this man Nat Turner.
A slave movie is still a slave movie no matter the context of the film. They never want to see us as the kings and gods we are.
Probably the best black film to come out since Malcolm X.
BK Jets Fan Yes your right it's the most important black film since Malcolm X.
BK Jets Fan I think this man needs his life story told czcams.com/video/7U3spArjhUA/video.html
BK Jets Fan This movie was made in the early '00s it should be made right now because of what is going on right now czcams.com/video/0x5tDNxKbNc/video.html

Movie was good af...I recommend all ethnicities to give it a chance and go see
I just saw it and it was great
Dre Jay can a kid see it
Dre Jay she is 8 I may just let her read about him. I do appreciate you for replying back
Justin Fletcher no problem yea wait till she gets older for the movie but you should definitely see it yourself with your lady
ebonydescent that is very sad. it's like we are scared to see what is real
Thank you Breakfast Club for not demonizing Nate Parker. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Bravo!
racist
Keep spitting on the grave of a woman who took her own life.
Steve Harvey did a great interview too.Didn't expect that.
@@DepressedSnail He had nothing to do with what happened to that young girl he had a right to get on with his life.
@@DepressedSnail good liars dont prevail especially when its to ruin someone's life.
Nate Parker has been in movies since 2010NO ONE don't seem it is kind of strange that SINCE PRODUCTION of NAT TURNER all of a sudden RAPE case come out.....
The rape case has been out but nobody cared bc he was aquitted. Now black people want to be outraged bc the media told them too and bc he has a white wife
+First Name Last Name truth
The rape case came out because the woman who he RAPED killed herself. There is no hidden conspiracy behind it.
You mean black twitter feminists want to be outraged.
DarkCloudEntertainment And so has been POPE's and other high production movie producers (Who raped a 13 year old kid)......
wow i can't believe black millionaires like tyler perry didn't look out for nate this is one of the best interviews
***** lol
I think it was best. Someone like Tyler may have tried to exert influence and try to change things. God knows what he's doing.
He was too busy putting a dress on and making a Madea Halloween movie.
ofcourse. hes part of the agenda
cause he was into white girls and using black fame duh lol
"Black empowerment does not mean white hate"- Nate Parker
That’s a true statement that isn’t true for all.
He made himself small so his children and children's children will remember him ~ humble yourself and God will exalt us, preach brother!
Nehemiah 2:10 kjv
10 When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.
If they ever do a Denzel Washington biopic... Nate is the guy for it.
Mic Rich nah...John Boyega should play Denzel
Nah bruh, I dont think the ladies gon like that dude playing Denzel. lol You know the whole audience will be 83% female. You gotta think about the ladies.
Mic Rich John Boyega actually looks like he could be Denzel's son...he looks more like Denzel than Denzel's actual son. Look him up
Alright, Im not about to step into defending this man for that unless Im getting paid for it.. lol but to be honest, I dont know any women that dislike R. Kelly after all the shit he did. Its sad to say but when you're a true fan, there is nothing that can be said about that person that will make you give up on him/her.
+Theredapparition II you are right, he does look like he could be a son, or nephew maybe but personally I wouldn't wanna see him as Denzel.
the people Charlamagne chooses to show respect to is always interesting to watch
They people with real jobs, he respect! Not Love and Hiphop thots
true
handalit32 THIS sis the type of guest he SHOULD show respect to. This man is intelligent, an overcomer, brave and very clear about who he is, what he's been through and doing something to ACTUALLY SPARK POSITIVE CHANGE IN THE WORLD
I couldn't agree more with your statement
Right.. sometimes his choices confuse me.. not saying this one in particular but its interesting who he actually listens to and takes seriously opposed to the other nonsense
He was found not guilty in a system built against him. Why boycott a inspirational movie about a black man that is based on a true story, it's so rare.
I'm a white man. I want to see this movie. I am not bothered by slave tales. I am not a white person that says "Get over slavery" because I am not dense. And I will not demonize a guy that isn't in jail, was never found guilty and who has always maintained his innocence. I wonder why the movie did terrible? Because the media villainized him. The movie had so much buzz. But it seems like every possible demographic skipped out on it. I get white people feeling uncomfortable. Not that it's right. It's just a fact that some can't stand black stories that are truthful. Slavery was brutal. And white people seem to hate it. I don't , I just accept history and hope to learn from it. Slavery films have done decent as of late. But it's telling when Free State of Jones with a white lead bombs but The Birth of a Nation, which was highly buzzed, is trending to do worse. Now it could be because of the rape stories popping up on ever news outlet or Nate Parker's lack of draw. But I just think it's unfortunate that a guy that pushed so hard for this movie got a raw deal with bad media buzz about his past....I am just sick of people demonizing people that maintain their innocence.
It was basically a hatchet job.
I just don't know how well they hit it off. I'd marry any girl of any color. I just need to hit it off with somebody. We can't know if his lifelong goal was to marry a white women. But I respect your choice not to support his shit. I am just more critical of people that keep the Scarlet Letter style Rapist logo on him.
I wish more people thought like you smh. I appreciate your comment.
I went in saw it, it was good. I think some people were tired of the slavery movies(no matter how different). Also the storm could've caused problems. I was hoping more people would've supported it as well. Had really good messages.
THANK YOU. Oh my God your comment was the best one I've seen in days.
Got a good feeling this film is gonna make me not wanna talk to white folks for at least 5 days
yo mind ya beezwax .... YO CHILL! CHILL! *running away from goons*
I can't believe they brought it back...
Ian Carter lmbooo
just like when they used to showed roots in class
Yep. Like Rosewood did for me in the 90's.
Why can't we start making movies about the great African Empires and African leaders?
This is part of our history too. An important one. Baby steps.
I am working on it www.scamrepublique.com support young filmmaker
We can. Starts with you!
Because black people will rather support Madea movies
www.scamrepublique.com a change is coming
Just saw Birth Of A Nation and it was GREAT
Dre Jay I saw it 3x plus bought the dvd
Powerful! i'm getting emotional just hearing the interview. 13th Documentary on Netflix is also an incredible film.
Dwight Stewart glad you spoke on that I wanted to try that one.
yes it was i enjoyed both the movie and documentary 13 th
Dwight Stewart did you see BOAN?
blossom 22 yeah I did. Pretty heavy.
blossom 22 what is that?
This will be one of the few exceptions that I will take my kids to see an R rated movie. This is a great opportunity to show our children THE TRUTH about Amerikkkan history. I believe that this is a film that teachers elementary school teachers, middle school teachers, and high school teachers should show to their students. Even with the graphic nature of the film, we can't try to sugarcoat and downplay how we were treated in this country. Amerikkka wants us to forget about our history. They want us to ignore how we were treated then and how we are still being treated now. This is film that is bringing truth to light and truth to power and we cannot allow them to sweep this under the rug as if this never existed. When it comes to black history, this is about as real as its going to get. I didn't learn about black history until I went to college and took an African American studies course lectured by a man who was a black panther. This is a film for everyone to see. Slavery has left a permanent stain on this country. Over four centuries of racial oppression and we as a nation still carry a black eye and there couldn't have been a better time than now to address this issue head on and unapologetically.
Couldn't have said it better...
Wrong move!
Why is it s wrong move? Explain
Mind on Thee
It will scar the minds of ur kids, unless they r at least 13+ years old.
We as black people have been scarred for over 400 years. You can take your kids to see an R rated movie as long as they are accompanied by an adult. It even says so in the motion picture guidelines. My kids know right from wrong. I teach them right from wrong. I teach them what's appropriate and what's not appropriate and you don't get to dictate how choose to raise my kids. If this was your typical rated r movie then I wouldn't bring them but this not just a movie. This is a part of our American history so why shield it from them? This movie will shed light on how we as black people were treated them and how it correlates to everything that is happening now. I don't want my son to grow up to be afraid of police officers. They supposed to look up to them as heroes and not monsters but it's hard to do that because all they see when they parents turn on the news are black men getting murdered unjustly at the hands of the police and it's up to the good ones to take a stand against the ones who abuse that authority no matter the rank or position. As a child I had to go to the library to learn more about black history because the books that a reading in school didn't include anything but a measly paragraph about Martin Luther King. I didn't learn a thing in school about our history until I went to college. I believe that we have a responsibility to teach our children especially our black children that we didn't always possess the privileges that we take for granted now. They could not play at the same parks, eat at the same restaurants, drink from the same fountains, or use the same restrooms as whites. We had to order our food from the back. We had to sit in the balcony at theaters and courtrooms. There was a time where we once had to guess the amount of jellybeans in a jar just to vote. There was a time where interracial marriage forbidden in a court of law. There was a time where blacks had to give up their seat to a white person. There was a time where a black man had to literally walk off the sidewalk and look down if a white woman passed by. There was a time in our history where they would hold carnivals, invite children and pass out candy and souvenirs to them while they stood and watched the lynching of black people. Are we supposed to hide this part of our history from our kids? It is imperative that they see this movie, how far we've comes since the days of Nat Turner and how we fat we still need to go as a nation so that we ALL can be treated as equals. My kids are seeing this film!!!
I love this interview! This is what; I wish they promoted more of. Interviews with substance, they don't all have to have the same topic just substance!
The majority of Breakfast Club audience loves the dumb ratchet shit though
Yes!!! I just said that. They were realllyyy trying to get him to talk about that rape...NOPE! He was not having it....great interview.
Amen
carmella brown exactlyyyy
agreed !
Jayz Beyonce lil wayne TI none of them gave money ....He did it regardless. ...Thank God
I wonder if he asked them, but if he did and they turned him down I would like at all of them different. All of them. I already know Jay and Bey some sellouts to a degree though.
Y'all really expect rich black people to give money to every single black person that wants it huh?
@@thebougiewinechick1869 Black Ppl in the public light gave money to Spike Lee so he could continue making Malcolm X.
@@dwightlove3704 and some turned down Spike Lee
@@JasonWalkerJamaica Who said no to Spike when he was making MX?????
So sad how all these news papers and sources are hating on this movie smh
They dislike the person who made the film.
Nate said it himself..... they tried to get him to make white people "look" good in the movie.
Lots of hidden truths in this U.S country
He made himself small so his children and children's children will remember him ~ humble yourself and God will exalt us, preach brother!
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE! This generation/era of black film is looking soo goddamn amazing. On the big screen and TV!!! There's so much promise. New great acts like Michael B., David Washington, Jaz Sinclair, Zendaya, Nate, Lupita, Chad Boswick, Kiersey Clemons, the Smolletts and legions more! PLUS we still have veterans and legendary talent like Idris, Mike Ealy, Viola Davis, Angela Bassett, Whitaker, Denzel etc etc still performing at an incredible level. Movies like 'Creed', 'Birth of a Nation', 'Fruitvale', 'DOPE' and TV shows like 'Power', 'Empire', 'Being Mary Jane', 'Luke Cage' etc ensure a beautiful future for black entertainment.
Darrel Be agree 💯
Darrel Be insecure, atlanta , queen sugar ,
This is an hour long interview, yet it already has dislikes??? HOW SWAY?!?!? Internet is so full of crap. Lol.
You ain't got the answers
It aint no ralph tho
Haha
right
Lol. It was literally up for 10 minutes when I saw the dislikes.
Nat Turner is a hero. Another ancestor to praise along with the Creator. Learn who you really are!!!!!

Salute the Breakfast Club for finally doing a proper interview about the movie unlike a lot of these media outlets!
Yes, girl. Bravo to them skipping right over the rape victim that killed herself. 👏🏾
Am I to read this sarcastically?
I normally don't comment but can we give Charlamagne his prop's for being the only one truly engaged in this interview and showing a more intelligent side of his self.
Jakke Vercede He's always been intelligent and witty. He just says a lot of crazy things sometimes.
He had to make up for that Lena Duhamm intervies brotha was soft shoeing but i give him his props
One of the most thought provoking interview ever on the Breakfast Club
Can someone please explain why The Game, who engaged in a childish beef, has over a million views compared to this?

Sosa Yoola Pure savages in the true sense of the word. Horrible and soulless.
ask his white wife that question
Tulsa Oklahoma black wallstreet would be the best movie hands down showing the progression of a black community self sustaining. people are not going to be ready for that but it needs to be put out there
Agreed!
Ahmed Ali good to hear bro some African think like Europeans
would never ever ever happen
Trufh Boof Oprah is making a mini-series about it.
William Brown doubt it
watched this interview twice..
it's worthy.
leelee and daddys world my third time watching it
We need to support this film. I actually heard of Nat Turner in Alex Haley's Queen. This is a rebel with a cause. He killed serial killers...bottom line. These privileged white men killed innocent black ppl as a sport. He retaliated. It doesn't make it right but you sure as phuck can't get offended. It's apart of history. If it pisses you off...then be pissed about every senseless crime that anyone of any race has committed.
and please don't throw in the fact that he killed women and babies. just google the black women and babies this country has murdered. that won't fly with me. however, Nate purposely left that out. don't wanna offend the offensive. overall, it's a crying shame that any of this shit went down. again, I'm not celebrating the death of caucasians but this story should be allowed to be told.
Yes this Is a very important film that everyone needs to see and support, but I don't understand why would he play the victim In his rape case, and not show sympathy In that girls suicide, even If he believes he Is the victim, and don't give a shit about the chick, he's an ACTOR, fake It nigga, If not for yourself, fake It for the people who was nice enough to lend you their money. I thank you Nate Parker for your contribution In creating this film, but I have no respect for you as a person, I think you're a douche
yes sir
+lowkey carter thank you🙌🏾 I was losing faith in the sense of this comment section. I would have seen it if he was just one the actors, but I just can't support it with him creating the whole thing. I'm happy he's at least knowledge and educated, but I don't trust dude 😑
+James Gray It's too late for Jill Stein, bruh. Please don't be dumb and do this. If this person was not apart of presidential debate this election, it's not going to happen for them. Do what's best for our population and vote against trump. A vote against Trump is obviously going to have to be Clinton, sadly. Please don't be stupid.
Why yall whispering ... speak up ! The white man can't hear you .
I'm speaking bby
you are gorgeous hml @chioma made
Thirst level. = 97 Bulls
Where's Kobe?
lmao im just being
honest
I gotta admit, I've been rough on him about procreating with a white women AFTER the allegations but the way he has handled himself in all these recent interviews, i have to tip my hat to him.
He's saying all the things that matter...i still am vehemently against him having a white wife but seeing that movie is a must
your racist
+Gus Bus does his 'racism' impact your day to day life or that of ur race in anyway??? stfu
Is she white? I've seen pictures of her and she definitely looks like she has some color in her somewhere. There are some light skin black people who's skin in paler than whites.
Him having a white wife is none of your business bro. Unless you have evidence that she is impacting him negatively.
Why are you trying to make her Black when he himself KNOWS she's Black...good grief
If you can go see corny ass kevin hart movie this weekend then you can go see BIRTH OF A NATION.
I aint watching neither.
van chi 1 FUCKN hundred
van chi yes!! Kevin Hart is so corny!! why do people like him? I miss Chris Tucker!
Saw the Kevin Hart movie yesterday, worth seeing as well. Both are great for the cause tbh, extremely funny and it's supporting our people. One should want to see both.
Nana Boateng true if you look at it that way. but Kevin hart is the highest paid comic right now he even has surpassed Jerry Seinfeld, I'm sure if I sit this one out he will still come out with a box office win. Meanwhile Nat Turners movie is being panned (mostly by whites) as a box office flop with only 7.2 million in its opening weekend, I think it is a tad bit more important to view Nate's film if I really wanted to support the cause.
Now a film on the Hatian Revolution and the Gullah Wars.
This man knows too much and i hope he protects himself and his family. I appreciate him and his efforts.

This was probably one of the best of the Breakfast Club interviews that I have seen. I will be seeing the movie tomorrow night. I wish Nate Parker much success and I hope the movie does great!
This brother is inspirational & amazing...hands down the best breakfast club interview
"To be black and conscious in America is to be in a constant state of rage". There is no shame in supporting our history.
James Baldwin said this years ago
This is one of my best interviews I have EVER seen!
Saw the movie, so glad I did!
The best thing about this movie is the fact he named it "Birth of a Nation". Subverting the original "Birth of a Nation" KKK movie from way back.
Lmao aight
Lionel Wilson agree bro...all the way. i only wish a black man who truly loves all parts of are black history and contribute to are future including are black woman
He's not subverting anything if nobody goes to see it.
Dude DJ Envy doesn't know anything about black history 😂😂😂😂
he sure doesn't. so clueless. But that's how most celebs are
So somebody who went to an HBCU doesn't know ANYTHING about black history? What are you even talking about?
Rob Johnson it's possible. You're not required to take a class specifically on our history.
Modern Keesh I'm still trying to find out why he says he doesn't know anything about black history though.
DJ Envy doesn't know much about MUSIC outside of the 5 songs that he plays on the radio and in the clubs.
I've liked this brother ever since The Great Debaters.
Always thought he would be a great Green Lantern!!!
Pride
Me too
Bronx Native He went toe to toe against Denzel and held his own!!!!!!
one of the best interviews the breakfast club have done👏. Definitely going to go see this movie
What is the name of the movie
soon as he mentioned the Mores I knew he was woke
...I knew he was conscious!
He has a white wife dog.
who are the mores?
moors were black people who ruled certain parts of Europe and also coexisted with them, until war broke out and they were forced out.
what s'mores?
Really admire his passion. Honestly
Nate Parker you the real MVP!!! Let's keep pushing this conversation forward..I love that a lot of people are getting irritated and uncomfortable with the direction we're headed in.Progress will eventually lead to success
I wish this interview was longer !
I love Nates Spirit , he is an inspiration and I believe he is sparking a change for the better.
He seems very honest. I want to support him and his message!
I love this interview!! Been learning a lot about myself lately and my history, this just makes me want to learn more about me, I love things that wake me up!
I'm extremely proud of all of you! Thanks for the interview & I'm excited to watch - JB #excellence
That's exactly how I learned about Nat Turner 🙌🏾🙌🏾 shout out to African American studies courses ✊🏾❤️
It won't be released in Europe until late January 2017. smh Can't wait to see it.
damn that's far
It will be on bluray way before that date...damn..lol
January 19, 2017 in Germany...January 20, 2017 in the UK. Not sure about France....
GodBody don't worry- thanks to the blessing of the Internet you'll have it sooner then later.
True!
This is the best Breakfast Club Interview ever!
Such an awesome interview by both the Breakfast Club crew and Nate Parker! Thank you Nate for making an important film that will be cherished for years to come.
I truly enjoyed this interview and if you have a as well please share it on all your social media. This is the only interview I've seen where an acquitted rape case hasn't been the stem of the interview pertaining to the movie. Only In America you will see a black man continuously having to explain himself about rape charges he was acquitted and then have an audience with so much outrage but have rapist who were caught on film and hvae witnesses run free and there is no outrage.
" Only In America you will see a black man continuously having to explain himself about rape charges he was acquitted and then have an audience with so much outrage"
His friend who's a writer for this film was convicted of the rape though. The only reason Nate didn't get found guilty is because Georgia had to awful consent laws back in 1999. The victim consented to sex when he slept with her the night before and back then consenting once meant consent until you verbally say no.
He even said himself in Ebony that if he did what he did today, he'd be in jail.
Queen... thank you.
Laughing Man Malcolm preach people forget that part what he did was deplorable period
Rane J. Very well put!!!!

Tupac would've been proud, he always wanted to do a Nat Turner movie
EXCELLENT INTERVIEW!!! Can't wait to see this weekend! Nate Parker is brilliant, an amazing actor and fine as hell lol
One of The BEST interviews I've Seen on The Breakfast Club. Saw the Film and It Moved Me Into Courage, Anger, and Tears as a Grown Man. I Will Probably Never Watch Another Slave Film again but I Could Rewatch this Film. Major Props to Nate Parker, The Writers, and The Cast. Well-Moderated Discussion.
Great interview Breakfast Club. I can't wait for Toussaint L'ouverture and Blackwall Street movies to come out. #Unite #Build
Can wait to support this film, Awesome interview 🙌🏽❤️💯🙏🏽📽
Thanks Nate for creating this film! Going to see it tomorrow!
One of the most memorable interviews. Thank God for those who are not afraid to be their Authentic Self standing on principles and moral values. So passionate and hopeful. Loved listening!!
You see that trailer for the movie called "GET OUT" about black people brain washed/ hypnotized into loving white people?
Which is done by Pelle from Ken and Pelle ... another brother who ppl rush to call a sell out.. We so quick to judge
yes i want to see that movie
his wife is white lol
People call him a sellout because he's the kinda guy to say 'ask' instead of 'ax'.
Laughing Man Malcolm lol
I saw the movie. It was phenomenal! Now, I live in a "whitish" town in Texas..the theater was mostly empty, but the majority of people there were black (which made me estatic). Support this movie guys! We always talk about #buyingblack. Support this brother!!!
Thank you breakfast club for interviewing this man. I'm going through a tough time right now and this is motivation for me. This touched my heart thanks
Sir Nate Parker, please make more movies like this one. I too had no idea about this man and I was moved beyond words, beyond tears while watching this film. I was overcome with so many emotions, anger being the dominant one, but this film and more like it are essential. Anger is not always a bad thing, we need to get angry in order to get things done, to change wicked ways. Please keep bringing to light these horrific injustices Mr. Parker. Like you said we must never forget. Never. I humbly salute you Mr. Parker. May the Lord keep you in his good grace.
I came here and got a history lesson.
Great interview...He's really up on his history and represented well!
One of the best Interviews I've seen in a long time anywhere. Thank you Breakfast Club for bringing this to the people. Thank you Nate Parker for doing it. Love. Respect.
This interview is the best thing I've watched in a long time!!
Great interview! Thank you Nate Parker for making this film! Nat Turner and and next up 2pac.
I'm going to see "Birth of a Nation" for my birthday! F*** YEAH! 🔥🔥🔥
happy birthday

One helluva BDay present 💯
It comes out on my birthday so me too!
Happy Birthday! mines was the 6th... #teamlibra
Very informative interview. I was on the fence about him and unsure of whether I would see this movie, but I will absolutely be seeing this film and he seems to be an educated, passionate, secure man and I really enjoyed watching this interview.
This is one is the most real interviews EVER from a brother. He was so open & honest regardless of backlash
support, support, support this brothers movie....
I won't
You gonna be supportin fox searchlight
I will! let the dummies take the bait. smh fools.
I just don't understand why the most conscious black men rarely have a black woman on their arm. Just seems so contradictory.
Thats a good question. I'm a conscious Blackman myself and i'm trying to figure that out. A lot of White mixed or light women come at me.
TahitiaRose it doesn't matter dude, love is love
Does it really matter who someone is with? And think about this for a second. Black people consist of around 15% of the population. Look at education and notice that there aren't many black women at the top schools. Now look at the neighborhoods successful people live in. They're usually not full of black women. The odds aren't in those men's favor to meet black women. We encounter women of other races much more than we do our own.
Only dating within your race means making a decision to not even consider 85% of women in the US. Doesn't that sound ridiculous? And what are you really left with when you cut out that large chunk of women? I'm sure there are other requirements most won't have. The percentage of potential women you're willing to date are probably in the single digits at that point. And it's not just about how they fit your preferences. You have to fit theirs as well. Dating solely within your race is extremely difficult.
And what exactly are they contradicting by being with a woman outside of their race? Who you date isn't a political statement. And remember that his wife supported him through the whole ordeal. She put a lot on the line too. She could've said it's better for us and the kids if you keep working rather than putting your savings into this movie and spending years trying to get funding. What more can someone ask for in a partner? Why is her race even a topic for discussion?
AQUAPHREESH193 absolutely not. I love my black men way too much...even if some of y'all just can't seem to get it right lol
TahitiaRose loll see now i can respect that! Alot of sistas out here bash a possibly GENUINE interracial relationship, be the same ones watching Scandal with they panties wet watching Tony Goldwyn with his hands all over Kerry Washington!!
It seems like a lot of black women don't mind being fetishized by white men as long as he promises them financial security and is arguably "dapper" lol like I said I know black men are guilty of treating black women like shit, but yall are NOT FAIR when people want to broaden their horizons.
I'm so glad to here this interview. It has ACTUALLY been very insightful, and YES, I enjoyed the Birth of a Nation, Nat Turner biopic. It was EPIC.
im 23 and I don't remember learning anything about Nat Turner in school. I'm glad yal interviewed Nate Parker and I will definitely spread the word about the movie.
I saw the movie opening day. I liked it, didn't love it, and I was fine with that, but I do think everyone should watch it because I did not know this story and I'm extremely happy I got to learn it. However, I find it hilarious that movie critics are labelling Nat an axe murderer, and saying the movie tries to make you have empathy for him, yet these people he killed were killing blacks in droves with no recourse. Also, I find it funny how a movie like this gets killed because of rape allegations against it's creator, but the presidential candidate can preach sexual assault and engage in it (randomly kissing women and groping them, having rape allegations as well), and people will still support him and characterize him as having the moral fiber to lead this country. Only in America.
the people in this country are brain dead...very very sad
Black women chose not to go opening weekend because of his stance on a rape he was charged with many years ago. We wanted to go! But he created this problem by not accepting responsibility for what happened in that situation. We like the story line, we love reclaiming the title, we don't like Nate Parker. We wish white people would do this to their horrible people, but they don't. They also don't take responsibility for them either sooo... I guess that makes sense.
The man was acquitted, against someone who had sex with previously and while I do not know what was true or not, you boycotting the movie has no implications for Parker at this point, as he already got his money. Hollywood should've took him to task when the film was released before giving him that record money, since that was where it would hurt the most. Hollywood still works with convicted rapists who run away, those who never even go to trial and such, so I would not equate Nate's case with the others. Again, I do not know the details because I wasn't there, but I do know that he himself was acquitted and how's he's dealt with the aftermath is troubling, but I saw the movie because of what it is. Hollywood could've bought it to kill it, no one knows, but if you take a stance against it, that is your prerogative because you might know more about his guilt more than I do.
Like you said, it is how he is dealing with it. I knew about the rape case a while ago and still supported his work. My personal view is that he should have shut up about it, but instead he picked very flattering journalists and media outlets to go to. It's just a bad look. We all have fallen short of the glory of God in one way or another.
Yea I hear you...Sad news when someone can't own up to a past mistake, and go forth in a transparent and respectable manner.
Nate Parker is such an inspiration. How he speaks, he puts me in the mind of Denzel Washington.
Definitely going to this movie tomorrow morning. I am excited! This interview is so refreshing! ✊🏾
Very informational interview. I can't wait to show this movie to my kids and grand kids as I will be watching this movie immediately after work.
