Just watched Sinners

Can anyone enlighten me on why they picked on Irish immigrants? Did blues get coopted by Irish historically?

I don’t get it

      Ryan Coogler also made black panther, with killmonger, a sympathetic villain who was cool while being evil. Same principal imo

          Fictional evil characters are extremely popular in media.

          Jack O’Connell is a talented, conventionally attractive man and his character was powerful, charismatic, and compelling.

          He was supernaturally evil and that evil wasn’t tied to him being Irish. He was depicted as more sympathetic than the KKK who sought to kill out of hate instead of a supernatural compulsion.

          Did you read what I wrote? Kilmonger was cool and had a sympathetic backstory. Nevertheless, he also killed people. Definitely not mutually exclusive
