No modern filmmaker is going to make a mainstream film where a big dumb ape "represents" Black men. I used the word "symbolism" obliquely several posts back, and even that is too strong a word. What I said later, that Kong "reflects" the American paradigm of paranoia about Black men, is more accurate. You say I'm asserting that Kong "represents" Black men as if the film makers all set out to be make a deliberately racist allegory. I don't believe that and I never said that. You're just trying your best not to understand my point.
That's it for me.
