Snoop says fukk ROOTS, calls for boycott of show

[yardman]

That's not their job it's ours. We've already seen time and time again what happens when you leave your narrative in the hands of your oppressor. Not one cog, not one nut in this system is designed to uplift you. White supremacy is like trash talk it's made to get in your mind.

Why do we always have to discuss Racism and Prejudice in full when talking about Black People and Positivity?



Why must we ignore all of the Good in favor in minute "negative" instances?

That's literally insanity

u know snoop bout to go off when he got his scarf on.

 

[Rollo Goodlove]

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.

So gather some black entertainers and make a flim you wanna see. I tired of folks expecting cacs to portray us as heroes, warriors, and or royalty. Shyt y'all ain't see them horrible ass Egyptian based movies

If it's not a slavery film or a civil rights film (with sympathetic whites in major roles) it's not being made in Hollywood. They've made it clear those are the only stories they're gonna tell. Obviously that shyt sells and I understand supply/demand but my god...that's all?

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

that's reason enough to boycott

Truth man "We need to find some new classics." Alex Haley plagiarized Roots and made up the "autobiography" of Malcolm X. Plenty of legit stories out there to tell written by credible black historians and authors.

Didn't watch the first one and won't watch this one....

 

[Edub]

Ain't nobody watching that shyt except for reminiscent crackas...I'm wit the boycott

 

[Rarebird77]

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

Look I get Underground is probably good, but was it necessary to have another slave show or movie?

How many are out this year alone. . It's like the only time we're creative is when we're talking about how we were once slaves.

The shyt is propaganda.
