This one hurts.

I love that Ryan Coogler cast a big, thick and glorious dark skinned black woman as the main love interest and I love that the sex scene was unapologetically sexy and passionate. I loved seeing this big strong and muscular black man bend this big, thick ebony goddess over and gave her some hot and heavy soulful kind of love. It wasn’t wrong or gratuitous.

thinking about the vampire remmick in sinners coming from a same place of oppression as the people he's terrorizing, thinking about him using the music that his oppressed ancestors played to perpetuate the cycle of domination that they were a victim of, thinking about him trying to use his background to make sammie think they're on the same side when he's trying to take his gift for himself and use it for evil, thinking about him using his talents to destroy communities instead of healing them and bond his people together the way sammie does, music as the vessel of love through generations of black people against a white man that wants to take it for himself, vampirism in the movie being represented as a continuation of the south's racism, one that wants to appropriate the culture ("your memories become my memories") by using it to destroy the community, ryan coogler... genius i'm afraid
