Perhaps most importantly, Sinners has challenged what’s become conventional wisdom in show business: the idea that audiences won’t respond to original stories.

Some of you all seem to be under the impression that a vast majority of a movie's viewers catch it in a theater. That hasn't been true since I was a kid, and I'm coming up on my mid-forties.

Simu Liu Questions Rolling Stone After Sinners Snub Sparks Debate
Rolling Stone released its list of the 20 Best Movies of 2025, and the reaction came fast. The omission of Ryan Coogler’s Sinners became the immediate focus, and even Simu Liu highlighted the absence in a direct post on X. His comment captured a frustration that had been building around the film’s position within this year’s awards conversation. The list placed its attention on smaller auteur projects, yet it left out one of the year’s most visible releases.

Joceline Porter, then a Gaulladet student, spoke about impact of segregation, how as a Black signer, they might say the same thing 3 times, like
"What's up, what's up, what's up!"

I loved this so much because that and other unique aspects of Black ASL reflect Black ways of speaking and relating.

Yes, feels like many languages, "standard" English not so much, include facial expressions and physical gestures. And some dialects and language more expressive than others, esp. with the hands.

So it tracks that ASL wld be more expressive

And like everything—

Have you been listening to the discourse lately about how Black people would like to end the use of the term BIPOC or POC? It is considered a type of Black erasure, as described in the video below.

‘[T]he political solidarity created by a term like “BIPOC” can also come with a loss of nuance. “People want to be named and recognized, not as part of an amalgam,” she says.’

Why the term "BIPOC" is so complicated, explained by linguists
There is no "one size fits all" language when it comes to talking about race.

The term POC got appropriated, used to erase class consciousness (highest earning ethnicities in U.S. are not white) & to equate micro aggressions to hundreds of years of systemic racial abuse (against Bl Am). One of many examples of NPIC rendering community phrases useless.

This is why I stopped using the term BIPOC. Because there's plenty of the IPOC part of the acronym who fights against the B part of the acronym.

The entire 13th amendment constitutional doctrine of "badges of slavery" uses race. So Kavanaugh is now arguing the 13th amendment is unconstitutional. Also the Civil Rights Act of 1866 expressly uses race when it says "full and equal benefit of all laws ... as is enjoyed by white citizens".
