because I saw the film not as a black film but a film that was centered around black people and black people of a certain/specific demographic
they were free in a ways other black people might not be free - they had a vacation home in freaking Santa Cruz and they appeared to be old money (example, nice house but old benz) and were comfortable in their own reality (i.e., being the only black faces in white places) while also having a foot on their own blackness (i.e. going to Howard U, choice of music, etc)
so for me, all of their actions tracked with how they presented initially. I didnt consider their reactions to be non-black but rather a form of black
There are 40 million black people in the United States, how do you figure all 40 million of us are supposed to react the same exact way?
