I did really understand her point in being in the film honestly, she was simultaneously on a successful podcast with a white dude that was all about “culture” (whatever that means) and in the mindset that blacks people and white people are natural enemies

I watched it and it’s one of the most cringe films I’ve seen in a while. I didn’t think it was offensive but then again I’m not Jewish or Muslim. I did google Louis Farrakhan afterward and….yikes that’s just peak cringe.
this movie had a amazing cast but it felt extremely stiff and non-organic. Eddie Murphy’s character is irrationally angry at everything. He doesn’t like non-Muslims, seems to openly hate Jews. He doesn’t like white peoples, and even openly mocks light skin black people in the opening scene.
This movie is essentially “Jews=rich, white=bad, black=angry”
Also on a separate note Jonah Hill isn’t looking well, he looks a decade older than the character he is playing.

The UN is probably one of the most useless organizations on the planets. They pat themselves on the back for basically writing strongly worded letters at this point.

Which is crazy because historically getting vaccines was just about the only thing communist countries did right. To this day the former East German states have a better vax record than former west German states
