I don't mind discord as long as there's discussion....at least an attempt for folks to come to an accord...

What I meant though was that this film appears to be held sacred before it can be properly dissected.

Folks are staking "standards of blackness" on whether you would support this film or not. Lots of folks seem to feel disrespected and dismissed.

That term "hater" is also popping up loosely as well as the dynamic of censure.

My first mention of discord was meant to speak to folks being dismissive of the weight of the subject matter addressed...and the apparent undertone that this film seems to be affecting "black identity" somehow...
