This looks really interesting. I've always liked existentialism in theory, but I've never actually read any texts on it.

It's nearly 1000 pages of super dense philosophy. If you can get through it, and retain what you read, you stand to learn a lot.

It's real and it's very educational. Don't be put off by the challenging subject matter

some homophobic dude made a movie about something that maybe never happened and it left him looking like a weird fetishist pretty much

Ninjj please, that is a lie spread by white supremacists. Buck breaking is a REAL thing that happened. Tariq Nasheed is NOT a weird pervert. The men in the movie do NOT look like him.

> Is this a porn movie or real?
It was a huge meme on 4chan for a while. The central thesis of the film is that black male slaves were anally raped by white male slave owners to break them ("buck breaking" ie they break the buck's spirit). I'm sure this did happen at least once (I mean statistically speaking some of the many thousands of slave owners had to be gay) but I can't imagine it was common as most men find gay sex repulsive regardless of the power dynamics.
The Sally Hemings/Thomas Jefferson thing probably was pretty common though.
