Solomon because he feels that it simply encourages sentimentality, and emotions are nothing to be afraid of.

more or less, were to enlighten and mollify White people’s curiosity concerning Black culture. The argument presented by Cripps creates an opportunity for speculation on how to categorize a well-known group of films about Black people that in most cases included the participation of White filmmakers.
