Ive actually never thought of many movies to be a "black" movie unless it was something like roots. And with tv shows only when 90% of the cast is black. Doesnt mean I wont watch and enjoy it though I just realize I'm likely not the target audience and because of that I actually let things id normally not care for bother me less like say black lightning making every white guy except one in particular seem racist.

I don't agree with it, but that is how people perceive it. Yes.

If a white guy's best friend is black, it's a mainstream movie.
If a black guy's best friend is white, it's a mainstream movie.
If a white guy's best friend is white, it's a mainstream movie.
If a black guy's best friend is black, it's a black movie.

It's a total double standard.

Do minorities think the same for movies with mostly white people ?

Like would Goodfellas be called a white persons movie ?

You forgot to mention that in today's climate it will probably be marketed as a "black movie," though, like Black Panther, and alienate its own audience.

Yeah to me thats the defining thing. What audience its clearly being aimed at. Sure lots of black people love black panther but ive seen plenty of white people who usually dont like "black" movies or shows who loved it.

Then why did they have to constantly remind us of its all black cast? Is that the most important thing about it? It seems like the studio was trying to define as a "black movie" long before an audience ever could.

Eh, black movies are movies that deal with more of the comedy or drama of everyday black life.

Movies like Get Out or Us are not that. It's mostly Tyler Perry joints along with BET productions nowadays.

Black Panther is also not a black movie. Neither is Ride Along or Bad Boys.

Black Panther is literally self stroking black nationalist propaganda.

Replace any of its themes with equivalent white themes and you've got literal unaltered alt-right stances.

One of the highest grossing movies of all time alienated its own audience?

Lol.

Those box office numbers don't really back up the "They alienated the whites with their black propaganda!" arguments.

I'm having a Mandela Effect... I think.

I recall in the early 90s there was some silly movie or ad.

There was a commercial expressing something with a all black cast, all black production and directing staff, all black music, all black commercials.

I think it involved the Wayans.

Might have been some crazy shit I saw on In Living Color back in the day.

the movie had an anti-nationalist message, though.

all of the black/Wakandan nationalists were depicted as being wrong, and T'Challa was all about a society open to the world

And every black nationalist references the movie as a cultural symbol, which makes sense because it's a cringey black supremacist wet dream.

And white supremacists love Norse mythology. I guess that means the new God of War is Nazi propaganda.

people use stuff as propaganda all the time, like movies, books, tv, and so on.

but I think it's unfair to use that as a critique against them if something goes against their intended message.

That's usually how it goes. Films with White leads are aimed at the "general audience", and have more international appeal than films with Black leads or predominately-Black casts.

Not even close, if you had actually paid attention to the film.
