I often wonder: will Hollywood be making movies about trans Atlantic slavery and the Jewish Holocaust for a hundred years? Two hundred? Will children be huddling by small fires in the ashes of WW3, still being lectured about the evils of exactly one period of slavery and one genocide? Because I was bored with these subjects like five years into my adult life when I realized that Hollywood revisits them almost every goddamn year.
I don’t care when it was made, I’ve seen enough about slavery, racism, how the “evil” white people stole land from native Americans to last a lifetime. I grew up in Oklahoma so we had tribal leaders talk to us about Native American history. Surprisingly they would talk about wars with each other. I’d be interested in that or African slavery history since you don’t see that. But I agree, I fear in 100 years they will still be rambling on about slavery
I was bored of that shit before I was even out of high school. I'm repulsed by any movie that's about WWII because it's ALWAYS clearly gonna be some Oscar Bait. And once I was forced to read "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by that fat fuck, Maya Angelou, in tenth grade, I was officially DONE with black stories that do nothing but preach the same goddamn messages of "wacism bad," "swavery bad," and "wypipo bad" with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

Don't worry by then our descendants will have whole new levels of made up genocides to be lectured and feel guilty about.
