The Emperor Jones was a short play by Eugene O’Neil (1888-1953), who for generations was, and may still be, our greatest playwright.
For the movie version, the story was expanded, with a long opening segment by DuBose Heyward (1885-1940), the co-author (with his wife, Dorothy) of the play Porgy, which became the Brothers Gershwin musical, Porgy & Bess. The picture was directed by Dudley Murphy (1897-1968), a third White man.
The story is a picaresque chronicling the adventures and misadventures of a brilliant, ruthless black man named Rufus Jones.
Born into poverty in the South, Jones has no intention of remaining poor. His first big break comes when he gets hired to be a Pullman porter on the sleeping car train. The next thing you know, though married, he’s bedding black floozies, advising the President, and killing an erstwhile friend in self-defense. He gets convicted of murder for the first killing, and is sent to a brutal prison, where he serves on the chain gang. Now he kills yet again, but also with justification—a brutal, racist, White foreman.
Jones doesn’t give the authorities the chance to screw him over yet again. He flees the country, ending up in a primitive, black island country that resembles Haiti in its superstitions, poverty, and corruption. Well, Rufus Jones never fails to identify the main chance, and he quickly takes over the island nation… for a time.
This 88-year-old picture is much more honest about race than anything you’ll see today by black supremacists. At one point, it was censored, and then uncensored. I haven’t had a chance to see which version this is.

A "conspiratorial" take on the current shortage crisis: https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracyNOPOL/comments/pxdx7b/engineered_shortagesglobalist_rationing_scheme/
Really not a lot of detail in this article but posted it because there's not much out there. I thought the internet would be buzzing with theories as to why this shortage is happening but could find surprisingly little online. We know Covid is being used to advance the globalist agenda but are the shortages an unexpected side effect or part of the plan?
" he kills yet again, but also with justification"
All blacks are sorely mistreated and when killing only in self defense and with justification. All the time with all of them. This here country badly mistreats blacks. That is why all the Haitians want to come here.
100 YEARS AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED WITH BLACKS
"The Emperor Jones is a 1920 play by American dramatist Eugene O'Neill that tells the tale of Brutus Jones, a resourceful, self-assured African American and a former Pullman porter, who kills another black man in a dice game(1920 or 2021?) is jailed, and later escapes..." (GRA:if taking place today--to Chicago,Baltimore,Houston,Philly,St.Louis,Detroit,Flint etc.)
Resourceful?Or sociopathically devoid of any grasp of right or wrong?
I haven't watched it--and may not--or I might.But blacks killing each other over minor disagreements has not decreased in the 100 years since this was written,I find it irritating that O'Neill would take pen to paper,about blacks,in this manner at all.The reason,I assume,is because most authors/writers are liberal/commie?
Of course blacks today--and media--would say O'Neill was stereotyping black behavior(reflex murder) by noting its widespread occurrence.
It's safe to say,black behavior has not advanced in 100 years--and due to population growth and increasing power in government- is probably getting worse.

First comment:A lot of skinny negresses dancing in the first scene.Nowadays--out of 30 black bee-atches,maybe 2 or 3 would be that skinny--the rest would all be Stacy Abrams types.

Second comment(black church service):"Eeeeverybody let's all pray...now let's go gamble,rape and murder.AMEN!"
--GRA
Third comment:The club scene(two negresses fighting)could be any ghetto yard in America on a weekend--just add knives today.
--GRA
There weren't any White cops around to take the blame for the dice murder? O'Neill had no idea how things would change--and yet stay the same.

Brutus was happy as hell in prison--singin' up a storm.

"Who dat?"LOL.

I haven't seen so many blacks since the commercial for "Bob ♡Abishola", "The Neighborhood","Family Feud","Wonder Years",the Academy Awards or today's Chicago/Detroit football game.The last two years,I've boycotted all NFL games except Chi/Det.But I see the Bears have a nig QB,Fields,with about 95% blacks on the team,therefore,I've lost interest in Chicago too.

"Filthy swine--lock him up and put him on the first boat out"--what we should be doing today with the illegals pouring into our country.

"Wonder what's keeping that black ape."
"You're one of those niggers that tells his betters what for."
I'm guessing uncensored.
--GRA
"Us niggers understand each other."
GRA: As much as they can be understood--and not even then.

So why didn't the bullets kill him?He's a magic negro?

Blanks-- only in the movies.Is Brutus Jones the Larry Elder of his day?No,Larry Elder didn't fool the masses in California.

Robeson a quite remarkable human being. Scholar, athlete, singer, "activist". Was he fond of the whitey ladies? Some must have been fond of him.
(Encyclopedia.com)"Paul’s affair with (White actress,Peggy)Ashcroft did not last, but it was soon supplanted by a much more serious affair with another white woman. Essie began to think about divorce. By the end of 1934, when Paul was invited to Russia to discuss the possibility of a movie, an uneasy peace had been restored, but the relationship was permanently flawed."
GRA:Aren't they all,involving black men--especially "activists" like Robeson.

"I guess I overplayed my hand."

Turned into one of the strangest movies of all time.The last 13 minutes,a combination of "Apocalypse Now" and "A Christmas Carol".
Willard in the jungle seeing ghosts.
Unique--I'll give it that,but any type of importance "The Emperor Jones" is given--from what I've read via many reviews and analysis--comes mainly from those same liberally inclined White scribes,who today, would support blm and disown their own White race.
