In the last ten years how many programs have Black people directed and produced centering around James Brown? Even when a white boy directed our exceptional AA actors, Chadwick Bozeman, Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer in 2014, that film barely broke even. "Man in Mirror" fam.

@Onitaset Actual that’s not what happened black people said the Beatles weren’t all that and white people lost there mind
@HjWilliam2723 I'm just confused why white people shouldn't make documentaries for their own musicians but must make documentaries for ours.
@Onitaset he just mentioned how relevant James brown is
@HjWilliam2723 Why should anyone white care though?
@HjWilliam2723 If I told you some Chinese man made 13 music genres, should Africa produce a documentary on him?
@Onitaset If James brown impacted musical genres it different countries it would make sense for him to be mentioned or written about by individuals outside the group since the enjoyment of music is supposedly universal (there is cultural bias)
@HjWilliam2723 Na. People celebrate their own people. Plus impacting music genres doesn't really mean anything outside of the Black imagination. I rock with KRS, not his predecessors.
@Onitaset You can’t completely get mad at black people when rolling stone and billboard etc will have greatest albums list and greatest and mention a bunch of black artists (even tho this list my be Questionable) and wonder why there confused about representation
@HjWilliam2723 I'm never mad at Black people, I'm mostly saying the numbers don't lie. $30m isn't baby money. Chadwick was immensely talented. It's clear why stressing Beatles over stressing James Brown makes more monetary sense especially while Beatles have another documentary.
