Can you explain what you mean? Get what? If someone decides they don't want to see it does that mean they don't get it? I am confused.
Meaning some black people get the importance of this movie and going to see it from a community standpoint and from the standpoint of Hollywood producing more movie like this one if they see that WE actually go out and support the product. From the community standpoint we need/should start taking better care of ourselves and be more supportive of positive images of blacks on TV and on the movie screen. From the Hollywood standpoint it would be nice to see movies such as this one and others that don't have negative stereotypes associated with black people in it. In order to help get projects like this one and hopefully future projects off the ground like this is we have to purchase a ticket and support the CAUSE of having future movies with predominately black casts shown on the big screen. To answer your question to me if a black person chooses not to see this film especially if they are a movie going type of person, nitpicks any and every little thing about this movie, and comes up with a ton of excuses not to see this movie , then to me they don't get it.
I always like this line of thinking. Every dollar is a vote.
