Bold of this movie to assume slave families were allowed to stay together. The women were forced to have babies as soon as they got their first period (with different men) and they did not get to keep the kids. They were literally treated like breeders. The slaves were treated like actual cattle. I wish someone would make an accurate slave movie because I have yet to see one.

[@kaikouture]

They will omit information as much as possible. It’s really up to us

[@UnfilteredAmerica]

Sounds like you need to watch more. Check out the tv show underground. It’s so brutal it cannot be shown on tv… master makes them breed and watches them as they do it. Now in this show…. Kizzy was about to be bred with Noah before she got sold. Her master was going to make it happen as soon as she got her period. Also, the family in thi is show was split up like 10 different times. Lol dude what u taking about?

@@UnfilteredAmerica I hear you. But I still feel it was sugar-coated and romanticized here. They're concentrating more on love stories than the actual atrocities of slavery. People could not even really fall in love during that time. It's just strange how they choose to concentrate on that.

@cortezconquistador Black Americans of no such thing exist. An African American should get some apology comprise for enslavement in his ancestors' direct bloodline. In conclusion, I believe the discrimination we face as a whole is judged vastly by bias on what the one specific set of Minorty white racists does insane cruel acts to these innocent black men. Sometimes we all get a little too comfortable and then we get accustomed to that life of an I guess you would say Black Americans just get stuck not all the time., but instead, you generalized. lacks and ultimately it's self-discipline.
