The second movie is just heads and shoulders above the first one. WOW. The first one had some crazy sounding theories and just flat out historical inaccuracies. This one just felt far more accurate and it was. I was flipping through wiki tabs while I was listening. The key thing here was the emphasis on melanin. Rather than just saying everyone whose skin is dark is African, they make the distinction that there are people with and without melanin inside their bodies and there are undeniable links between African cultures and Asian cultures, and in Asia especially there are people who do appear straight up BLACK, complete with Afro hair. The native American part seems very iffy to me as I am in Canada right now and I've seen many native americans, but the thing is I'm not too sure on how many of them are full blooded or not. Many of them have european last names.
Some of the realest shyt was spoken by none other than KRS. That part where he started talking about the millions of klan members
. It shows you that deep down most white people in America specifically have not changed. They didn't all just wake up one day and decide to not be racist and to not try and hold back blackmen. There is this myth that whites try to perpetrate that their societies are not inherently racist and that racism is simply just a case of "a few bad apples" and not the fabric of the whole damn society. They are living in a denial that comes also from denying black people proper representation in the media and teaching proper history, but that's where the last part comes in on how to build the community and you absolutely cannot argue with that shyt unless you are an uncle tom of the highest order. Black people can use their wealth to achieve fantastic things.
2 obstacles really can't be ignored too:
1.Racial triangulation--that is other POC being used as vanguards of white supremacy and getting in the way of black people
2.Lateral Racism--That is, self hatred and that crab in the barrel mentality where black people won't trust some shyt that is coming from one of their own as quickly as they'd trust it coming from white people. Because we all know the same people who treated you like shyt for hundreds of years and still look down on you only have your best interests in mind right
