3. I Hate Bible Movies!noah cover

“Go to church and they tease us, with a picture of blue-eyed Jesus” Ice Cube

I saw a recent trailer to the movie Noah (Now on DVD) and I saw no black people in it. The whitewashing of black characters in Hollywood is very deep and significant.The possibility of empowerment through imagery is real.

What’s scary for white folks, who have contributed to the oppression of Blacks, is the emulation of mythical characters who also overcame oppression. The last thing they want is an uprising of a people who believe they overcome against all odds.

Maybe I shouldn’t say I hate bible movies because I really don’t hate anything. What I dislike, is the ignorance that Black people have when it come to their spiritual connection with God.
