Why is the public treating him like he is guilty?! If Parker wasn't convicted in a white justice system, then there wasn't a real case to begin with. Nate Parker shouldn't have to discuss this.
Yeah, that woman looks so much like a white-supremacist. smh... You race-baiters are so clueless to your surroundings it's staggering. Men are being systematically oppressed by a gender-bent system. Bent against men and you racist fucks can't drop your racist proclivities for a single minute to join with others of different races that share in the anger fomented by feminism and racism.
Absolutely! Why does she continue to put herself and allow her bosses on a network that I'm sure is predominantly white put her in these situations (remember the Chris Brown interview) Let this young black man breath. She really needs to check herself. I wish him well.
How was she discrediting the movie? How dare you belittle Robin Roberts, especially as black woman, for addressing something so crucial to the human spirit, as rape. She asked the questions that I, as a black women want answered. Why do you have to berate her as a black woman for asking about rape. So because he is black, he doesn't have to answer questions on rape? Nat Turners story was about injustice and rape is about injustice. How can we talk about systemic crisis and not be responsible to these grievous allegations of rape. Read the court documents before you are quick to defend him.
the court and the jury--from what I read--found him innocent, not guilty, acquitted of all accusations and allegations pertaining to this charge of rape that happened amost 2 decades ago. He was a victim of false accusations back then and now even when he's innocent.
Funny how the reporter/editor skates right over "acquitted" but lingers over "charged with rape." Also funny how this stuff surfaced just as he was getting buzz for his film. #staywoke The fuck he has to apologize for?
she stay selling her soul on this show but if a real race war breakout them same ppl she selling her soul for will turn their backs on her faster than a light switch
BlackBloCK spend money on this film & go see it opening weekend! This man put his life of hold & all his money on the line to tell an important American story through his art, and you wont spend $13 on a ticket?
It should be obvious to anyone with a brain that this was all calculated. Nate Parker has been in many films but they wait till he does this film to try demonize him. Same old tricks from the same old devils.
I lost a little respect for Robin with this interview. She talking about "the rape issue has to be addressed." It was addressed already. He was found not guilty. Now talk about the movie. SMH
Shame on Robin! The man was INNOCENT and they still want to bring this crap up. Move on! Love how Nate handle this and talked about his movie like he should be.
we dont know what happened really but he shouldnt been running trains on drunk white chicks in his dorm in the first place, he put himself in that position. and rape is not just a boogie man jumping out of the bushes, screwing an intoxicated woman and inviting your buddies to join is form of rape too esp if the woman is falling in and out of consciousness! Being found NOT guilty is not the same thing as being an innocent man!
+vinessa wess But once again how do we know she was drunk? If they ran a train they ran a train. If the woman consented you cant say he was in the wrong. My only problem with this is that if there cant be real proof he actually raped her we need to put it to rest.
It is known that George Zimmerman killed that young man whether he was convicted or not. It is not known, however, if he really raped that young lady. That's the difference. I would say to you "nice try" but it wasn't though. Piss poor effort in fact. Shameful and idiotic even.
I stand behind him 100%. Her family's issue is that 2 Black men were acquitted and they saw the two as thriving. Suicide is horrible ending but so is false imprisonment!
katelynn767 Says the ignoramous who played handmaiden one too many times and got her feelings hurt. He's an educated actor and director. You are the Female David Duke of CZcams! With your trailer park ass. You're angry in that double wide.
@nadine, I agree with you 100%. He was a victim of false accusations that have gotten a lot of black men killed, lynched and imprisoned on the word of a white woman with no other proof but her saying so.
@nadine, I agree with you 100%. He was a victim of false accusations that have gotten a lot of black men killed, lynched and imprisoned on the word of a white woman with no other proof but her saying so.
"What those racist inbred European/white thugs did to him was horrific." I'm not sure if you're aware of the concept of irony or not, but your statement is racist. If black men weren't obsessed with white women then there wouldn't be so many problems. One has to ask, what's so bad about black women that every black guy wants to date a blonde white girl? Any white woman with class would never date or associate with a black guy.
How cold it have been false if it hurt and affected her so much to the point of suicide then? Also, I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until I saw how he deflected . An innocent man has no need to deflect like that.
It was an ambush. He handle it well, but look at all the dislike for the video, the racist white and ignorant blacks have come out.. Go support this movie, give this movie s chance to live.. Go learn nat history please educate yourself if the schools and teacher won't do it.
NATE PARKER IS A G! He finessed and switched the conversation to HIS tone, this was art working in front of our eyes.plus he had this chick disturbed! NATE keep on, I will be going to see Birth of a Nation on friday AND I will be bringing somebody with me!
Kyle Watson That's because his behavior in this interview makes him look very guilty in that way. Since you are a criminal yourself, of course you would support him!
I think it's ridiculous that the media refuses to treat this film as a film. From what it looks like, The Birth of a Nation is incredibly important, and to belabor this point is wrong. He was proven innocent, now move on!
It's sad that the girl that 'claimed' she was raped killed herself, but that has nothing to do with him. He didn't rape her. He was acquitted. Apparently she had very serious issues if she killed herself. Why should he apologize for something he did not do? That's crazy and even crazier for her ass to ask him to apologize. I'm going to go watch this movie...
Samantha Ivy Girl bye! The only dummy is you! You paid full price to see the movie in the theatre, i paid a $3 for a bootleg DVD copy from a stranger off the street! LOL
Am I missing something here? Why would Robin persist in pressing the man to give an apology or feel remorse for something that he was acquitted? That just goes to show that if a man is simply ACCUSED of a sex crime, he is labeled guilty whether he actually did it or not! And to try to draw a parallel between Nate Parker's success and some salty chick committing suicide is beyond asinine.
I'm happy to see so many black people supporting brother Nate Parker. I agree with most of you; it was a long time ago and he was proven innocent. Let's unite like this for more reasons.
You could see her discomfort in the way she was breathing. Even though she tried to hide it, you could see it on her face as well. It must be a difficult thing, to knowingly sell your soul on live tv and try to make a man lose his cool with accusations that are nearly two decades old and obviously untrue. She must really need the money.
Leave that man alone. This happened in 1999. He was found not guilty. Let him live and watch the movie or don't. But don't let what happened in the past cloud your judgement
Putting out this rape controversy is actually helping adding buzz to his movie. I didnt have plans on going to see this movie in the theatres but, after seeing how they are persecuting this brotha for something he didnt do and was found NOT guilty, im going out to see this movie just cause of that.
Really Robin He was acquitted. He was there for his movie and you try to derail it multiple times. Why should he apologize? Why didn't you read part of the Facebook statement which answers everything. That was very unprofessional.
She was trying to boost ratings for her show. So basically they were going to spend probably more than 30 mins on the case if he actually talked. Look at teh actual amount of time they spent discussing the movie (probably only 3 minutes). If he were to talk about the rape case, it wouldve taken 30 minutes. So when they realized he wasnt going to boost their ratings with the rape case talk, they cut it down to 3 minutes, meaning they didnt really care for the movie. BUt nate handled himself well.
Stuff and What Not Yes and based on what I've seen he was falsely accused by this woman. Acquitted does not always mean innocent as OJ Simpson was also acquitted of his crimes back in 2000.
i 100000000000% believe that he is innocent. i am the same way. i will NEVER apologize for something that I did not do even if my livelihood is on the line. This information was very public before & people who didn't want this movie out brought it back to the forefront to try to block the films release. I will be seeing this film.
Prime example why I don't watch TV anymore. Its all an illusion of inclusion. There was no need to even bring up a case that was thrown out without merit. All she did was kill time that could have been dedicated to talking about THE FILM.
It very easy to look up the court transcript that clearly shows the womans story was conflicting with the evidence. She even tried to secretly record him to trying to coerce him into some type of confession. This man is truly innocent.
Wow, so disrespectful! He was there to promote the movie...not the case that the was ACQUITTED of! Robin shame on you. I bet that story they played before shocked him. Robin...shame on you! Doing the dirty work...he should have walked tf off!
Wrong. He should have shown remorse for someone whose life he practically RUINED. Instead, he showed himself to be an egotistical power hungry hollywood type that only cares about himself, and his movie, and his money, and me, me, me, me. No one wants to work with a person like that, his movie just bombed, and no one is hiring him in Hollywood right now. He just ruined his career. Creepazoid.
This movie moved me to my core. It snatched all my edges. I was NOT EXPECTING TO legit weep through most of it. My god it got robbed of the Oscar in more ways than one. Fck the rape charge he was acquitted people! what about all the bs HARVEY GOT AWAY WITH AND HE WAS MAKING OSCAR MOVIES FOR YEARS! DECADES!!! LET BLACK MEN LIVE!!!!
@@TheStranger513 let's be very clear, he got away with all his fckry, I repeat, FOR DECADES. I realize in the end he got charged, but look at all the praises, accolades, all the films he got to work on and all of the "respect" he got from the industry etc. before finally being discovered for the POS he really was. Smh if u think harvey or his art was as quickly or equally judged as Nate's. Na brother you got it wrong the industry would never work that hard against a successful white man. Foh.
@@casadegaitan Doing alot of angry talk over there 😂. Don't give yourself a heart attack writing that comment. I just don't think an actual guilty person is somebody you want to compare to Nate's situation.
@@TheStranger513 I think you're missing my point, which is that he was actually guilty and still had a long lucrative career, yet Nate who was NOT guilty got ostracized for no reason. For zero reason. But, you have a happy new year and noo heart attacks! Hahah :)
I love the way he readjusted Robin Roberts on her own show....... She was pretending to be dumb deaf and blind..... When in actuality she is definitely way more than that..... And he reminded her who she is..... And what she was supposed to be doing in the first place........ Moor power to Nate Parker 🇲🇦
The problem is based on the fact that Nate was invited to the show to discuss his new film but the issues discussed turned to an issue from the past. Here is the true sad aspect of this, or maybe the designed aspect of this--based on negative news creating an audience--I never heard of the film and the last time I witnessed a performance by Nate Parker was during the movie titled The Debaters. Therefore, a rape accusation, an actor "refuses to discuss" a rape charge from the past, and the soundbite telling this audience member how actor Nate Parker refuses to show remorse for a formerly taped victim who committed suicide, are the only forms of advertisement I have been introduced to regarding such a historic film, written, produced, directed, and starred in by this talented man. Sick. When will our nation simply honor those who accomplish much, forget the lines of skin-tones, and operate as one nation? Personally I like the interview, though some oppose it. However, I wish he simply said words like, 'Sadly the issue was raised many times and I have addressed it; I feel horrible for the family of this victim and the victim herself, but I must once again declare to all viewing this: I was not charged nor did I commit such a vile act; which causes me to discuss the same type of accusations which are revealed and exposed in the film.'
I am SOOOOOOO disappointed in this interview, Aunt Robin. Of all people, I expected you to deal with this in an appropriate manner and you didn't. You acquainted yourself with the settled false rape case and yet you didn't familiarize yourself with the history of Nat Turner... How could you be a part of the machine and make Brother Nate an enemy? Don't we get enough from the other folks? #nobodyhurtsyoulikefamily
But Robin Roberts says she never heard of this story? Never heard of Nat Turner's revenge? I think that says more about her. She clearly does not identify as black because every Black person in America has heard about Nat Turner way before this movie was even dreamed about.
She did not say she'd 'never heard of this story,' she said she had heard bits and pieces of it. She also indicated she'd seen the film and didn't want to give away the ending to viewers. Black history was not always taught in schools and not everyone had access to information like they do today.
I'm going to see the movie twice. The subject matter is important. I'm sorry a false rape accusation and acquittal still dogs Nate Parker. If he was found "not guilty" then he should be free to go about his life. And Robin Roberts needs to respect that. And more talk of Nate being a rapist post acquittal is libel/slander.
The movie is being overshadowed by his past accusations which has nothing to do with the importance of this film. just another way people detract from the importance of something.
I like how he redirected her focus back about the film cause she was really trying to go there an he wasn't have it 💯 an he was acquitted same as Kobe an people out there mad about it
"Difficult but necessary conversation." How? Why? It happened, seventeen years ago, AND HE WAS ACQUITTED! If you're one of the people who are obsessed with this, mind your own business and move on.
I freaking hate Robin. why are we talking about something that happened 17yrs ago. Then bringing it up. what does that have to do with the film😠. NOTHING! It's has nothing to do with it! ITS A DAME SHAME!!
I feel Robin should of just talked about the film. His personal life is his person life. We don't need to know his personal life. I want people to learn about the movie and the story of Nat Turner, and that's it.
we are glad that the "yt community" as a whole know nat turner's story so well "even tho this is pure bs". the film was made for the ones that doesn't know the story so you can Stf'up now cause nobody cares what u think fuck boy. be blessed tho
I'm glad he took the high road with Robins questions. Every journalist want's to get that "Ah Ha" moment in which the interviewee says something outlandish. * Unlike Chris Brown who tore up a green room because he tried to change the subject with Robin but she continued to ask him about his past. * Got luv for Breezy but he needs to get a sage OG to advise him.
As Nate said, this isn't about him. So... instead of focusing on the rape he was falsely accused of and wasn't found guilty of, how about you bother talking about the numerous rapes that did occur, with impunity, during the time period on which his movie is based? Focus on that. On the pain those women must have felt, knowing there was no court system to protect them. No newspapers they or their families could write about it in (unlike the many *smear pieces* written nowadays, but I digress...). Talk about the babies from those rapes that mothers had to decide their feelings about due to the manner by which those children were created. Talk about the fact that those same rapists claimed the moral high ground, much like the very people doing and upholding the oppressing do today. The very same ones using the Bible to support their cruelty and sadism, despite numerous people pointing out, Biblically, why that line of thinking is invalid (including, as Nat did in the clip, former slaves in their narratives, as well). Or dare say, would that be too much for the audience to stomach?
What many people tend to forget is that while he was cleared of raping this woman, he was not exactly cleared in the civil case of harassing the woman after she complained. The University wound up paying a sizeable settlement because he and Jean Celestin were found to have stalked and harassed her. For that reason, he could have simply reiterated the empathy he attempted to convey in his Facebook post without admitting anything. This was his opportunity to present his reason why people on the fence about seeing this film should financially support his work. He blew the opportunity and came across as arrogant by referencing the 60 Minute interview three times, even when she pointed out not everyone saw it. He came across as angry which only raises more doubt in the minds of many who were already skeptical of his character.
They both began poorly. Robin Roberts didn't actually ask him a question in the beginning. She starts of talking about the perception of his lack of remorse now. Then when Nate Parker asks "what are we talking about?", Roberts says the allegations. Although related, those are two different discussions.
"The best way to catch a black is to use a black!" Smh Such a disgrace.
yeah. who captured kunta kentae..
THis post deserves a thousand thumbs up. So true.
mercedes lexi I am white and I agree. I would probably have sex with Robin though.
Why is the public treating him like he is guilty?! If Parker wasn't convicted in a white justice system, then there wasn't a real case to begin with. Nate Parker shouldn't have to discuss this.
He's black....even though tried and considered not guilty, he still will remain on trial via systematic white supremacy/racism.
H~
Yeah, that woman looks so much like a white-supremacist. smh...
You race-baiters are so clueless to your surroundings it's staggering. Men are being systematically oppressed by a gender-bent system. Bent against men and you racist fucks can't drop your racist proclivities for a single minute to join with others of different races that share in the anger fomented by feminism and racism.
Yeah fuck her
Because he's a black man speaking and showing the Truth. People don't want to see or hear! #Truth #Rise #Knowledge
Absolutely! Why does she continue to put herself and allow her bosses on a network that I'm sure is predominantly white put her in these situations (remember the Chris Brown interview) Let this young black man breath. She really needs to check herself. I wish him well.
Why should he have to apologize for something he didn't do and was proven innocent....I don't get it...

Wrong. He should have shown remorse for someone whose life he practically RUINED. Instead, he showed himself to be an egotistical power hungry hollywood type that only cares about himself, and his movie, and his money, and me, me, me, me. No one wants to work with a person like that, his movie just bombed, and no one is hiring him in Hollywood right now. He just ruined his career. Creepazoid.
remorse for what? and you have no right to link this acquittal to her suicide because you don't know what she was going through at that time.
can't wait to see this movie, I support Nate Parker
I would love that she is interviewed and asked how she feels about doing that interview at a true moment in American history?
The young lady tried to end her life a few times before...a troubled life. It's a tragedy.
This movie moved me to my core. It snatched all my edges. I was NOT EXPECTING TO legit weep through most of it. My god it got robbed of the Oscar in more ways than one. Fck the rape charge he was acquitted people! what about all the bs HARVEY GOT AWAY WITH AND HE WAS MAKING OSCAR MOVIES FOR YEARS! DECADES!!! LET BLACK MEN LIVE!!!!
I feel you but bad example. Harvey didn't get away with anything lol.
@@TheStranger513 let's be very clear, he got away with all his fckry, I repeat, FOR DECADES. I realize in the end he got charged, but look at all the praises, accolades, all the films he got to work on and all of the "respect" he got from the industry etc. before finally being discovered for the POS he really was. Smh if u think harvey or his art was as quickly or equally judged as Nate's. Na brother you got it wrong the industry would never work that hard against a successful white man. Foh.
@@casadegaitan Doing alot of angry talk over there 😂. Don't give yourself a heart attack writing that comment. I just don't think an actual guilty person is somebody you want to compare to Nate's situation.
@@TheStranger513 I think you're missing my point, which is that he was actually guilty and still had a long lucrative career, yet Nate who was NOT guilty got ostracized for no reason. For zero reason. But, you have a happy new year and noo heart attacks! Hahah :)
I love the way he readjusted Robin Roberts on her own show....... She was pretending to be dumb deaf and blind..... When in actuality she is definitely way more than that..... And he reminded her who she is..... And what she was supposed to be doing in the first place........ Moor power to Nate Parker 🇲🇦
The problem is based on the fact that Nate was invited to the show to discuss his new film but the issues discussed turned to an issue from the past. Here is the true sad aspect of this, or maybe the designed aspect of this--based on negative news creating an audience--I never heard of the film and the last time I witnessed a performance by Nate Parker was during the movie titled The Debaters.
Therefore, a rape accusation, an actor "refuses to discuss" a rape charge from the past, and the soundbite telling this audience member how actor Nate Parker refuses to show remorse for a formerly taped victim who committed suicide, are the only forms of advertisement I have been introduced to regarding such a historic film, written, produced, directed, and starred in by this talented man.
Sick. When will our nation simply honor those who accomplish much, forget the lines of skin-tones, and operate as one nation?
Personally I like the interview, though some oppose it. However, I wish he simply said words like, 'Sadly the issue was raised many times and I have addressed it; I feel horrible for the family of this victim and the victim herself, but I must once again declare to all viewing this: I was not charged nor did I commit such a vile act; which causes me to discuss the same type of accusations which are revealed and exposed in the film.'
So ashamed of her. Sickening.
Sir Nate Parker I support you.
I am SOOOOOOO disappointed in this interview, Aunt Robin. Of all people, I expected you to deal with this in an appropriate manner and you didn't. You acquainted yourself with the settled false rape case and yet you didn't familiarize yourself with the history of Nat Turner... How could you be a part of the machine and make Brother Nate an enemy? Don't we get enough from the other folks? #nobodyhurtsyoulikefamily
For those of you who are going to ignore the film, please don't ignore history! We need the truth to educate us and to help us move forward.
The media always try to show our black men as guilty. This is exactly why this movie was so needed
Apart of this country history! History that isnt taught at all!! Read the book and will watch this movie!
But Robin Roberts says she never heard of this story? Never heard of Nat Turner's revenge? I think that says more about her. She clearly does not identify as black because every Black person in America has heard about Nat Turner way before this movie was even dreamed about.
She did not say she'd 'never heard of this story,' she said she had heard bits and pieces of it. She also indicated she'd seen the film and didn't want to give away the ending to viewers. Black history was not always taught in schools and not everyone had access to information like they do today.
Lady her father was a Tuskegee airman, a fighter pilot in WWII, and educated. She was playing dumb.
the way that they keep trying to talk over each other is hilarious to me
Even if he was lying...if someone is maintaining their innocence why would they be remorseful?...like what sense does that make
I so appreciate how Robin did her job and how Mr. Parker handled himself. When you're innocent why should you apologize.....
Robin Roberts is a snake in a grass. She pulled that mess with Chris Brown.
I hate that Robin still was trying to put him in an uncomfortable conversation that he already talked about on 60 Mins.
I'm going to see the movie twice. The subject matter is important. I'm sorry a false rape accusation and acquittal still dogs Nate Parker. If he was found "not guilty" then he should be free to go about his life. And Robin Roberts needs to respect that. And more talk of Nate being a rapist post acquittal is libel/slander.
The movie is being overshadowed by his past accusations which has nothing to do with the importance of this film. just another way people detract from the importance of something.
Watch American skin. Nate Parker is and underrated Director and writer.
when thay can not understand us thay. can not beat us 😕😕😕
GREAT job, Nate Parker!
I like how he redirected her focus back about the film cause she was really trying to go there an he wasn't have it 💯 an he was acquitted same as Kobe an people out there mad about it
"Difficult but necessary conversation."
How? Why? It happened, seventeen years ago, AND HE WAS ACQUITTED! If you're one of the people who are obsessed with this, mind your own business and move on.
Amazing movie!!!!! I was shaking & crying for 10 minutes after we left the theater.
I stand with Nate! INNOCENT FOREVER!!! 😍🥰😘
I freaking hate Robin. why are we talking about something that happened 17yrs ago. Then bringing it up. what does that have to do with the film😠. NOTHING! It's has nothing to do with it! ITS A DAME SHAME!!
She tried to bait him. Like she said she doesn't know much about nate turner but is burning to hear about an old case.
I feel Robin should of just talked about the film. His personal life is his person life. We don't need to know his personal life. I want people to learn about the movie and the story of Nat Turner, and that's it.
we are glad that the "yt community" as a whole know nat turner's story so well "even tho this is pure bs".
the film was made for the ones that doesn't know the story so you can Stf'up now cause nobody cares what u think fuck boy. be blessed tho
She was told what to do and she did it.
Wow I did not see this interview .
I'm glad he took the high road with Robins questions. Every journalist want's to get that "Ah Ha" moment in which the interviewee says something outlandish.
*
Unlike Chris Brown who tore up a green room because he tried to change the subject with Robin but she continued to ask him about his past.
*
Got luv for Breezy but he needs to get a sage OG to advise him.
what's he meant to apologise for this was a total set up she had no intentions of talking about the film
I wanted to see this movie before the controversy so I am still going to see.
all this controversy is really just gonna make his movie more popular and successful
As Nate said, this isn't about him. So... instead of focusing on the rape he was falsely accused of and wasn't found guilty of, how about you bother talking about the numerous rapes that did occur, with impunity, during the time period on which his movie is based?
Focus on that. On the pain those women must have felt, knowing there was no court system to protect them. No newspapers they or their families could write about it in (unlike the many *smear pieces* written nowadays, but I digress...). Talk about the babies from those rapes that mothers had to decide their feelings about due to the manner by which those children were created.
Talk about the fact that those same rapists claimed the moral high ground, much like the very people doing and upholding the oppressing do today. The very same ones using the Bible to support their cruelty and sadism, despite numerous people pointing out, Biblically, why that line of thinking is invalid (including, as Nat did in the clip, former slaves in their narratives, as well).
Or dare say, would that be too much for the audience to stomach?
The fact that he has a daughter in college though...isn't he only 36? Wow. I just never would have guessed.
He was found not guilty that shit was like 20 years ago. It's not his fault that lady killed herself.
Nate Parker is my hero.
Going to see this 50 deep in full formation #BLM
okay! He better set Robin Roberts straight! no pun intended?
😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏
What many people tend to forget is that while he was cleared of raping this woman, he was not exactly cleared in the civil case of harassing the woman after she complained. The University wound up paying a sizeable settlement because he and Jean Celestin were found to have stalked and harassed her. For that reason, he could have simply reiterated the empathy he attempted to convey in his Facebook post without admitting anything. This was his opportunity to present his reason why people on the fence about seeing this film should financially support his work. He blew the opportunity and came across as arrogant by referencing the 60 Minute interview three times, even when she pointed out not everyone saw it. He came across as angry which only raises more doubt in the minds of many who were already skeptical of his character.
6:30 😭😂😭😂😭😂😭 she didn't catch the beach umbrella (shade): A TOOL IS A TOOL! Lmmfao 😂😭😂😭😂😭😵 6:30
They both began poorly. Robin Roberts didn't actually ask him a question in the beginning. She starts of talking about the perception of his lack of remorse now. Then when Nate Parker asks "what are we talking about?", Roberts says the allegations. Although related, those are two different discussions.
I like that jab he hit her with at the end!
Nate should have tore her ass up in the interview, I can tell he did want to say what he was actually thinking.
Great stuff well done! 💯✊
That's funny... Robin was big mad @ the end when she realized her plan backfired... lol. Great job Nate!
this was awkward
soooooo awkward .. the whole time my mouth was kinda hanging open like "wait.. uh.. tf?"
About to go watch this movie today
This Friday... the same weekend of the hurricane Smh
Smart brother, never apologize for something you did not do.
Anyways, I don't agree with his movie, but I wish him more success.
What movie(s) DO you agree with then, and why????
WTF Robin, What the fuck! he was ACQUITTED meaning he didn't do it!
I saw it twice, will see it three times if I have to.
I respect him for not being bullied so he can talk about the film. I gave a thumbs down because they tried to take away the focus
