Snoop says fukk ROOTS, calls for boycott of show

[SHO-NUFF]

Don't appreciate him including Underground on his list; first off, that show is by "US" , and secondly, the show shows black achievement in REAL amerikkkan history, in spite of the dirt they were doing..... I also like the fact that they include a lot of previously un-discussed details that show just how raw and evil slavemasters were

They even show that a lot of those "white saviors" were just as knee-deep in profiting off our labor, as those they we all agree were wrong
It's a lot of unpopular truth on that show, so I support that

The other 2 projects I can see boycotting though

 

[Kingshango]

There's a Roots TV show?

 

[DJDONTNOBODYPAYME]

So Haters really gonna act like Cordozzar ain't got his Youth Football League?

Can't watch movies of Black people taking abuse but doesn't mind making music about Black people taking abuse at the hands of other Black people.

get Snoop the fukk outta here.

Shut the fukk up.

Ol' "what about black on black crime?" ass nikka.

 

[Matt504]

Shut the fukk up.

Ol' "what about black on black crime?" ass nikka.

the point is that Snoop is a fukking hypocrite, the secondary point is that you're a fukking idiot.

No, the point is you're a fukktard disingenuous virgin troll who needs to shut the fukk up.

 

[King Poetic]

i agree with Snoop....

But u still have the Oprah types in the black community still dwelling on slavery and those mammie days in the south

how about the unknown blacks nobody know about

like Alexander Mils - invented the elevator
John Love invented the pencil sharpener
William Purvis invented the fountain pen,
Lee Burridge invented the Type Writing Machine

and other inventions 90% of blacks don't even know we created

all blacks know is MLK, rosa parks, harriet tubman and other slaves

 

[You Win Perfect]

Shut the fukk up.

Ol' "what about black on black crime?" ass nikka.

nothin but cacs n agents on this site smh

 

[Drones]

but who would watch?

...we would.

The cacs behind Hollywood have been saying this (black films don't make money!) for decades to justify only putting out movies with white leads and mostly-white casts. The success of the Hidden Colors documentary series (every screening sold out and it's currently the number six overall DVD on Amazon, with 0 major studio backing) has proven that yes, there is indeed a thirst for positive black stories that don't involve white saviors.

Red Tails flopped four years ago and was poorly promoted regardless; using it to justify an alleged lack of a market for movies with positive portrayals of black people is a weak excuse given that we have seen the demand for our stories firsthand.

Just look at the response black audiences gave to Black Panther in Civil War; Twitter is full of young blacks who changed their name to T'challa simply because they got to see a black character kicking ass, not getting saved by white characters and not just throwing in one-liners from the background.

Just wondering because I know you've mentioned you're Dominican, do you consider yourself black?

yeah, I'm the agent for pointing out the irony in Snoop being upset about Black people being depicted as slaves when he's built an entire career on peddling destructive music to Black people.

 

[shopthatwrecks]

the first ROOTS was an epic national movement.

the world had never seen anything like it before...

james avery said that other black celebs would come on the set BEGGING producers for just a small role in it

now they've just made some shyt for the history channel

was a movement built on a lie..

 

[Dr. Sebi Jr.]

like Alexander Mils - invented the elevator

Well, he invented an elevator, not the elevator. Actually, it was just a door. Close enough. Blackman invented the elevator. Hotep.

John Love invented the pencil sharpener

Well, he invented a pencil sharpener, not the pencil sharpener. Close enough, Black Power.

William Purvis invented the fountain pen,

Well, he invented a fountain pen, not the fountain pen. Close enough, Praise Jah.

Lee Burridge invented the Type Writing Machine

Well, he invented some improvements to type writers, but he didn't invent typewriters. Close enough, Edomite slavery soon.




Don't research the "Did you know a Black man invented...!!!" stuff from your social media timelines and find out it's almost never true.

 

[@OffHalsted]

Hitting nikkas wit that dose of bullshyt

 

[yjmonn]

Real shyt, I don't give a fukk about this Roots shyt and I'm sick of all the slave nostalgia
