Thanks for sharing DJ.
Awww it got taken down for the content. I guess whoever uploaded it didn't age gate it.

Anyways I'll talk a little bit about it in spoilers.

Spoiler for Ah Ha!:
What was predictable about it? Also I ended up finding out that the creator/director was a white guy not that it makes a difference but just putting that out there. So yeah, I think it does a good job of showing how ****ed up black people are in real life that doesn't get talked about much. It touches on male rape, incest, a hint of mental illness and these subjects are still taboo to this day within the black community.

Especially the mental illness piece, I know I'm going to jump into generalizations but generally in the black community mental illness gets pushed aside and you get shunned for having a mental illness while in certain white communities going to therapy and getting put on medication for different mental illnesses happen so young in their lives that it is a bit more normalized than in black communities. The solution for mental illness in black communities is just to pray more and let God handle it which is dangerous when people may actually need to be seen by a professional and might need to be prescribed something. As I'm typing this I notice the scary parallel to Scientology in that aspect of how they view mental illness. It's slightly different but they have the same stigma attached where it's something that will just pass over you in time as long as you have faith.


If you still haven't seen it and would like to add to the discussion after watching I'm going to edit OP with another link.
