And before someone gets in here on that "WHY DONT YOU DO SOMETHING BLACK REIGN"...the conversation is about Snoop. Snoop has the money and the means to do it. I'm a little guy.

I hate when we have people like him in these positions and they are so ignorant about all the shyt. Instead of getting on IG getting pissed at this shyt do something yourself. Don't give me that "He has the Snooper Bowl every year"

Why is Snoop talking about "yall.."? Calvin why dont you do the shyt yourself. Stop waiting for people to do shyt for you, If it bothers you instead of having "Snooper Vision" on Youtube invest in production companies yourself.
:manny:Agreed. That isn't to say he doesn't have plans or doesn't currently do something, but this air of "someone make shyt for us" where the buck keeps getting passed:shaq2:

Especially when it comes from folks with more money and connections than the rest of us:dahell:

Then again, there is a lot of content out there, but folks gotta support.

I just saw an interview with the producer of this version of Roots, who happens to be the son of the producer of the original one. He said one of the reasons he felt he needed to do is that his son said that the original didn't resonate with him. You're fukking white, of course it wouldn't resonate with you :martin:

He's right. We have tons of positive black stories that could be told but all we get is 'get ya ass whooped with dignity until a white savior character comes through and blesses you' tales about slavery. How dope would it be to have a historic epic about the Moors or a racially accurate depiction of Egypt?

The guy in my avi is St. Maurice, wouldn't you much rather see a mini-series about him and his army putting in work rather than watching us run around in chains and rags for the hundredth time?

that's what's confusing me...this is airing on the HISTORY channel

making a movie like the one you described would be perfect for them

why do a remake of roots!?

they turned that white trash backwater hatfield and mccoys story into an award winning mini-series...they can't do that with some of our stories!?

but who would watch?

It's not to discredit what Snoop says, but ultimately movies aren't a public service, so nobody's gonna wanna make a movie just so people can say "man I'm glad that story was brought to the light" George Lucas funded Red Tails. How'd that work out? It's gonna take a long time for those movies to get produced with any sort of consistency, especially historical ones, because the demographic is real difficult to please.

they finessed nikkas into feeling slavery is inherently a part of them claiming it like it's ours

all races have had portions of their population enslaved whether do to war or poverty

they stay pushing the image of black individuals in chains where's roots for the europeans jahahahaa

*

slavery is not synonymous with black history
quit claiming it
quit letting it be pushed upon you
