Back home, Nana's band had hordes of fans. She was a local celebrity.

I felt an overwhelming sense of love. I'd never felt happier. I know I can't go through life expecting the world to come to me. But Nana let me dream a wonderful dream. It was like falling in love for the very first time.

no?? i'm queer and black. i assume ur white because why in your right mind would you ship a racist white colonizer with a young black man...??? like what??? it's not about you being queer, it's about the very racist and tone deaf undercurrent of this "ship".
I never thought it could be done but somehow Sinners managed to make a story about two men that want to kill each other more homoerotic than death note.
said by someone who didn't watch the movie... ? i know what you are lmfaooo. only a certain ✋🏻 demographic would see a movie wherein a white man leads a hive minded lynch mob to rob a young black man of his autonomy and voice, and instead of engaging with any of the messages that are actually important, turn it into... slop

"Well, then, in the Savage Garden," said Armand, "you shine beautifully, my friend. You walk as if it is your garden to do with as you please. And in my wanderings, I always return to you. I always return to see the colors of the garden in your shadow, or reflected in your eyes, perhaps, or to hear of your latest follies and mad obsessions. Besides, we are brothers, are we not?"

There is something to be said about how Sinners isn't saying to lock the door on black culture and never let anyone else in. A big part of the scene of Sammie singng at the juke joint is the fact that there are other cultures involved. The chinese characters are accepted gladly and their culture is also shown in the process of looking back and forward.
In my opinion Sinners does point to the issue that white supremacy and a lot of white people who don't think they are racist like to iron over the culture they take in. Seperate it from the context and the people who created the culture until the heart of it is basically gone.
Remmick is a racist, but he also would have likely had a chance to interact with the culture in a normal way and connect with his own if he had just accepted that he wasn't the center of Sammie's music. The need to rip away Sammie's memories, talent, and culture and assimilate it into the hoard for his own gain without caring about what that culture means for the people it came from is the issue with Remmick. It is also the issue with a lot of people who want to view and interact with black culture, but get icked out when they actually have to be faced with the centuries of struggle that led to that genre of music, or dance, or hairstyle being created.
Annie is a force of nature when she challenges Cornbread. She is the gravitational point for all the other characters. Cornbread tries to move around her, to address Smoke, because it's Elijah who is considered the weaker link, not she. Yet he does not succeed because Annie's concerns are not dismissed. She is the carrier of knowledge, of tradition. All the characters in that room have her in high regard. She is LISTENED to and she is never treated as some paranoid, hysterical woman. I found it refreshing.

People don’t understand how hard it is to get over your own personal hell. Like I give so much credit to them for literally stepping into the fear to help Janet. This is a huge example of co-regulation
Wally came up with this, makes us do it at every reunion.
everything just really comes down to how I wasn't a person for most of my life. by which I mean I did not consider myself a person. it made such a profound impact on the way I navigated the world & yet standing on the other side of it I could hardly explain it to you
Name ten female characters you like, you get zapped if it's jsut a male character you call a babygirl or other feminine nicknames because I can't see people calling Lestat coquette again
and friendly reminder that not everyone can form words so if you use dialogue in ur x reader that is actually non inclusive. think about that.
If I see one more “Remmick doesn’t understand race bc he sees himself as Irish” post. You know what they did when they were given the chance?
Assimilate into white culture. Remmick knew what he was doing and he knew the way he was doing it was wrong. In the end he was chasing power not his ancestors.
We know what the Irish experienced in Ireland and the US but what did they do when they had the chance? “I don’t want to be treated like they treat black people!” They chased that white privilege and protection.
saw a theory that the SmokeStack twins were posing as one man in Chicago, which helped them get away with stealing from both sides. i'm poised to believe that because visually their clothing was very clearly of the two mobs. smoke was full irish— tweed, bowler hat. while stack had the full mafia look. yk italian leather shoes, fedora etc etc . like the details!!
