Official Godfather Of Harlem Season 2 Thread

[SNYC]

They're trying to draw the parallel between Bumpy & Chin. Both about money, family & loyalty...and dealing with the b.s. that comes with it

Crazy thing is, the mob respects the way Bumpy handles business, but he's Black. Meanwhile they don't respect the way Chin earned his spot, but since he's Italian.. he's ok


Was kinda worried for Teddy's mother.


The writers pulled that Intersectionality stuff from social media. The word 'Intersectionality' was brought to the forefront in the late 80s by a Black woman named Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw.

...but i still understand where they were going with the white feminist/civil rights movement



The look on Betty's face when Malcolm walked in was hilarious. She wanted to see his reaction to Elise


Here's something for yall.


Malcolm, MLK & James Baldwin appeared in this 1963 PBS interview/doc 'The Negro and the American Promise' produced by Henry Morgenthau III

Yes, he's the brother of Robert Morgenthau




Leaders of the Civil Rights Movement | Explore Black History | PBS

After watching the segment a viewer wrote that he was shocked "that such a blatant display of racial prejudice could be aired."

You know the type of person who made that comment in '63

just watched the new episode and

this shyt is some

Same with Gigante, Vincent doing a great a job because I legit hate his ass. He gets my blood pressure up.

vincent d'onfrio, nigel thatch and forest whitaker are all killing it as usual.

Man, this was the BEST episode of the entire show so far!

GOH just gets better and better.

I gotta agree with that. this episode was phenomenal. hopefully it wins an emmy.

Some people in a couple of whatsapp groups thanked me for putting them on to this show, because so many still hadn't heard of it.

What I like about GOH apart from the gems lowkey being dropped, is the fact that unlike that other show featuring Italian mobsters, the black characters aren't written like buffoons, are strong, intelligent and stand up for themselves and don't just sit there and take every L handed to them like punching bags looking all stuck on stupid. Of course the racism in GOH is heavier, but black folks aren't being mocked under the guise of simply telling a story.

Every character is written well whether you love or hate them. Suffice to say this is my fav American show of recent years.

After watching that documentary about the NOI and Malcolm X, I learned the NOI was nothing about Islam as much as it was about a man worshipping cult. NOI has nothing to do with Allah.

I've been side eyeing Louis Farrakhan's ass for a long time too when there's rumors of him having Mexican baby mommas and he supports Scientology and have members from there.

That's the danger when you have any group where you can't even criticise or disagree with the leader and have to keep your thoughts to yourself if you want to live another day.

No one can deny the good NOI has done, however that type of fanaticism holding up another human being as 'The One' (when there's no such thing) is what led not only to Malcolm's murder but also the Hanafi killings which was horrendous. Surely Allah and truth can defend itself without attack dogs willing to kill just because someone expresses something they don't like?

The show is about Bumpy Johnson how you gonna have a series based on a weak lead character? Bumoy is probably the most famous black gangster ever. "Hoodlum" is a personal classic,

Just started watching this a few weeks ago, and I'm in the middle of season one. Pure piff.

Giancarlo out here cooking in ever scene he's in. "Thank you white people.......you're fired!" might be some of the funniest shyt I've seen in a minute.

It's called, "Who Killed Malcolm X" on Netflix. It's good sh_t.

People need to read about Cointelpro. Feds always picked a certain part of our own kind and black mail if we didn't do what they wanted.

Been trying to bring awareness to people but you know how that goes- small minds think small; if only people read to educate themselves.

Reposting this here: (it’s heavy reading but it’s worth the knowledge).

Exactly I've been sick my whole life watching mafia/mob shows and black folks are looked at as dumb, slow, can be bullied and outsmarted
Malcolm x wasn't scared of no cracka and neither was bumpy


even on the tv show power/snowfall/etc. the mafia/cartels are still these old boogeyman that black folks are scared of

screw the noi, membership before malcolm x was just a little drizzle. I put the death of malcolm x solely at their feet.
