Snoop Dogg rails against 'Roots' in expletive-filled video

[AkilinaArina]

I expected as much

In one breath y'all say y'all don't wanna hear about slavery then you guys turn around and point out a film that centers around slavery. Y'all annoying.

How is this not a true story? Aside from the characters being fictional what part of the story is a lie?

Fiction=not true. Just cause it's set during a historical time period, doesn't make it a true story.

It's just as made up as Django.

Africans weren't stolen from Africa? Were they not abused? Beaten? Raped? Hung?

You thinking this sums up slavery in America is a testament to you getting your history from these movies.

How is this suffrage porn? It happeneddddddd.

Your mom gets rapped. You gone watch the video over and over again from different angles. Pass it on for her grandkids to watch, then condone the decendents of the rappist to make new movies based off of it for their own profit?

What are you saying cause I'm really tryna figure out what you are even talking about. And when you say support the correct films what exactly are you saying?

Historical movies about triumphant black folks who are not entertainers.
Movies set during historical times that tell personal stories not revolving around getting beat and rapped.

Movies that have tried to appeal to people like you, that weren't violent (red tails) y'all did not even go to see it and I bet y'all excuse is gonna be "well it was about the civil rights movement" as if that film didn't have important information in it that you were ignorant of before it.

Hollywood did not support and promote this movie like they do the slavery ones. Black folks were pretty much the only ones to go see it.

The difference between what you're saying and what I'm saying is you're saying we should stop supporting slave films so they don't get created and when they stop getting created "support the correct films" what the fukk does that even mean? If we stop supporting them they will not be made and where does that leave us? Where does that leave our stories? And whose going to make these correct films? Because people have been complaining about this for years yet haven't made the "correct" films. This movie was written by, directed by and stars black people yet you guys still have a problem with it.

This movie was not written by a black man.

Learn your history from roots brehs

And that's the point every thing we experience as black people is linked directly to that brutality and that same slavery that y'all quote unquote "don't like seeing". Our ancestors were abused from they were born to the day that they died and what do they get in return "shiiiiii man I'm tired of y'all story show me something better" like how fukking typical. These stories being told don't stop other more glamorous black stories from being made. Regardless of if those glamorous stories are being made slavery stories need to be made.

Our ancestors did much more than get beat and rapped.

Hidden Colors is about a lot more than slavery dumb ass, if you had watched any of them then you'd know that.

So the scenes where Jews are hanged and shot in the head aren't graphic? Or is that just ur opinion? And who the fukk are u to tell someone else what they should perceive as gratuitous violence? You ask me for a movie about the holocaust where there is graphic violence. Schindlers list is literally graphically violent which is one of the reasons why it's in black and white in the first place (in order to receive an R rating) then you say well it isn't "gratuitously violent". Moving the goal post for the third time, I originally asked you to name three movies centered around Jews as a people that has nothing to do with the holocaust or one of their other tragedies and you still haven't answered that question.The pianist has many scenes where's he's just walking and is stopped by nazis and the people that he is stopped with are all brutally shot in the head or beaten. But then again u have an agenda so I guess none of those scenes will be "gratuitous" to you. You're working off of opinion while I'm working off of facts.

look how people responded to the notion of schindler's list being graphic.

Schindler's List, How Graphic Is It?

Are a brain dead moron or are you just trying to be one. People are hanged in shot in westerns, doesn't make it graphic

Do you understand film? Do you know what graphic is? Schindler' list does not have gratuitous violence in it.

The most graphic shyt in the movie is skinny naked people.

The scene you are talking about where the jew gets shot in the head, they walk off five feet away before there do it.

Lmao, there are no scenes in schindler's list that compare to roots, django, or 12 years or slave.

I'm not moving the goal post, you are ignoring obvious facts BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN AGENDA

The pianist is mild too. Same level as schindler's list.

Roots isn't a documentary. It's work of a fiction with zero narrative, it serves no purpose.

Also there is no proof black people are even from Africa.

The records of the trans atlantic slave trade contradict themselves.

Nobody has ever seen a slave ship only replica's of what they are suppose to look like.

Yes they were abused and beaten, there's no point to show again and again.

People are raped and brutally beaten in savage ways to do, and if realistic violence was presented like that in any type of film it would be considered torture porn.

Just like the Passion of Christ, the point of the movie was to show christ brutally killed, he had been crucified many times in movies before, but the point of that film was the torture porn aspect of it not he actual story in the bible

Nobody asked for roots to be remade, so all this support and stop support shyt you are talking about is moronic.

You have no interest in a real conversation, go watch roots, don't try to convince me to watch it you dumb ass c00n.

Both sides make decent points. I think the issue is there's not as much balance. We don't have as many major sitcoms anymore.

I think the only blockbuster staring black folks is Central Intelligence.

I agree. It's just about balance. We and our kids need to remember what was done. The problem is that's the only stories being told about black people. In Texas the history books are trying to write out slavery all together and act like black people came and worked willingly. I want people to see just how evil people were and how that evil still impacts us and others today. We just need more things like blackish and black panther because that's not what defines us.
