Mansa Musa biopic in the works...

[Mortal1]

This movie could be dope if done right Black Panther having a big box office numbers could really help this film get made with an all black cast.

 

[Mortal1]

No movie on The Moors though? That's what I really want to see, because that's a movie that will really make cacs mad.

we need both

the issue is the movies are about entertainment and not education.

It's only a matter of time before #nikkasAintshyt twitter starts the smeer campaign.

and be happy that a mansa musa film flops

the issue is the movies are about entertainment and not education.

A picture on Mali would be pretty educational for a lot Black people in the USA, Brazil and in the Caribbean. A lot of Black people and White people for that matter simply don't know how or why slaves ended up in the Americas and who a large number of those enslave people were.

There needs to be a miniseries called "Mali", which tells the history of the people of that land. Black people in the Americas would be absolutely floored by the achievements of the Malinke/Mandinaka/Mandingo people.

@steadyrighteous @MartyMcFly Didn't we recently just joke about this in the Emmys thread?

Don't remember. About him and white women?

 

[Colicat]

and many of you overestimate it

the issue is the movies are about entertainment and not education.

No one is saying to use entertainment as a cure all. When you saturate media with salient messages, images, and ideas about Black supremacy you subversively infect the mindset of the masses with the exact same thought. To deny the efficacy of the media is akin to denying climate change.

I came in the thread all














until I saw Michael B Jordan

hell no, get another black actor. He doesn't have the charisma nor regalness to play a shwagged out king

 

[010101]

Lanks or book titles for the people

Basically all of the music that you listen to in America. Country, Blues, Rock and Roll, Rap, etc.

Also HBCU's most likely have their basis in the Mandinka/Mandingo emphasis on education. The earliest HBCU's were built out of churches, which is similar to Mali tradition of building their universities out of Mosques.

You can start with these basic Wikipedia entries and then move from there:

Edit: Btw, this thread on the Root regarding the Kingdoms of Ghana, Mali and Songhai is outstanding.

Edit again:

I recently finished reading a book called "Servants of Allah" that gives an outstanding depiction of the Mandingo people and other African Muslims (Fulani, Hausa, Yoruba, etc.) that were captured in the slave trade. Black people have been totally brainwashed as to who our ancestors were.
