What’s the point of these movies/TV that paint us as victims :snoop:

[Creflo ½ Dollar]

So you down with prison and police abolishment?

I’m down with reducing our prison system and scaling back how and why people get sent to prison. We need prisons we got some demons in this world.

If u fix that it “helps” fix the police issues. Police won’t have the authority to ruin your life over and send u u up the road on frivolous petty shyt.

You need police tho but the number 1 factor that is going to help us is by infiltrating the police force. That will atleast alleviate some of the racial biases.


Yea it’s good show for awareness but at the end of the day it’s just some sad shyt painting us as victims once again, that makes it even worse when one of the main voices that fanned the flames is president right now. That just add insult to injury.

Facts. I spent hours on that mf one day smh

Black Americans have carried the full weight of White Western Supremacy... since at least the 1500s. Our story should be told.

Idc if RW talking points like to throw out the word "victim" , like we should be ashamed ..... We ARE victims of their BS.

They just want us to shut up about our lives to make them feel comfortable.

I can be a victim of WS and also be a hard work8ng woman making my and my families life better.

We need this documentary just like we need Key and Peele type stuff.

I'll continue to support Black story tellers and historians.

All of them are black stories but everyone behind the scenes is white with some "woke" negro in the forefront to make you guys believe that it's a black production. Check the credits

The James Weldon Johnson (composer of Lift Every Voice And Sing) Generation sought to
encourage Negro achievement, uplift and respect.

Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
let our rejoicing rise,
high as the list'ning skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea
sing a song full of faith that the dark past has tought us,
sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
let us march on till victory is won.

Unfortunately, Generation Woke (raised on Sprint, Verizon, Apple, Google and Disney Studios) is the opposite and seeks to promote and market perpetual black defeat in today's media.

The goal is to elicit mass sympathy, like those late night ASPCA abused pet commercials.

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

yet when black people do just that out comes the "we so busy playing and white folk preparing for war"

and there is content and work out there meant to inspire and uplift

but a lot of ya'll wouldn't know where to look...

Lol some people just need to understand that we have markets and you can pick and choose what to watch and etc and there isn't no Black Person Hive Mind and motherfukkers ain't here to serve you.

We have a plurality you know.

If we have Black reality shows the same people complain.

If we have fantastical Black Buppie shows, the same people complain

If we got Black struggle shows, the same people complain.

If we got historical Black shows, the same people complain.

If we got Black romantic sitcoms, the same people complain.

If we got Black political shows, the same people complain.

Some of y'all just want a Black reality that never existed for the majority on screen to make y'all feel good.

The shyt is mass entertainment made by hundreds maybe thousands of people to sell subscriptions or ads or win awards.

The shyt ain't made for you to feel good about being Black, that's not the priority. Get that shyt from somewhere else if you need that.

 

[TRUEST]

It’s easy for the children coming of age to view blacks as a supreme race. We dominate sports, music, everything we get full access to. We have the best bodies. Women of all races see us as the most masculine race.

Those movies/tv shows are attempts of fragile races to pacify their restless minds which is collectively infected with fear of the black man.

It is in their best interest to portray blacks in a helpless light

Ok where is the white victim shows??? The Japanese was in a concentration camp and discriminated against i dnt see a lot of movies about that...what about the Mexican victim movies and shows...they the second largest demographic in the US and there isn’t a shytload of mainstream movies and shows about them being victimized.

We the number 1 victim in Hollywood. LGBT in faaaar and distant second place with the Jews behind them.

Ain’t nobody saying that movies need to help us feel better about being black...where the receipts on that statement clown...u just talking.

TV is one of the most effective ways of programming. It’s a reason white people always bring up Chicago when talking about black on black crime when Chicago ain’t even the worse city. Because that’s all they hear about on TV but go head and discredit the affect of TV on the psych.

I think our stories should be told, but too often they try to roll in some white saviors or some "let's hug the racists" bullshyt.

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

I see these kinda threads and lately it makes me feel like I'm becoming a bully and shouldn't say what I'm really thinking.




For what it's worth though, there's a Ken Burns documentary on The Central Park 5 with actual testimonies and footage. It's a clip of one of them being interrogated and they gave him a Coke (sugar rush) but he was already so nervous his hand was just shaking and could barely drink it. I'll never forget that. Haven't seen this new series, but It's definitely suggest the doc over it.

Say whats on your mind. nikkas act like differing opinions are a death sentence.

How you bully people on the coli..these nikkas just soft.


When it come to stuff like this a doc is typically more fact based and has less stuff inserted in the storyline for dramatic effect. Docs are biased too but you get a fuller picture from real testimonies and footage. Not saying this series is not factbased just talking in general.

I was just disgusted buy the mainstream portrayal of our victimizations. shyt dnt sit right with me nomore.

The same people who begging the people who caused their problems to fix their problems. Then got the nerve and say that’s the only solution. The pink man ain’t got no compassion never has and never will. They waiting on a miracle . Talking about tangibles or no voting lol ok. Better get used to not voting. Cacs ain’t playing fair anyway when it comes to voting.


It wouldn’t expect anything less than snitching from the # coalition.
