4 Black Jesus Movie - If somthing is not accepted, that means it is banned. No one makes a movie to be shown only in limted amount of theatres of one race. Jaws wasn't made for jewish communities. Passion of Christ wasn't limited to white neighborhoods.
My posts are not the promblem, its your inability to admit when you are wrong or accept being wrong. |
If something isn't accepted, 100%, then it's banned? Malcolm, my life style isn't accepted by many people, and I'm FAR FROM BANNED!!!!
To be banned, it is to be, in a sense, an outlaw. The movie that you CLAIMED is banned, just isn't playing everywhere. They already said that they wanted to show it where they knew it would receive the best "results" and make money. That isn't banned.
