The new roots has actually been really good and if he wants better television then he needs to put his money where his mouth is and do it himself
I watched the first episode it was really good how they showed Kunta and his efforts to not become a slave. shit is tragic how the white man had many pitfalls for us to keep us enslaved. I couldnt take no more of it after he got his foot chopped off and then fast forwarded it in the future and next thing I hear is Kunta calling the white man Massa shit was heart breaking how they made that man assimilate

If they care so much about our history then why have they been silent about Hidden Colors? At the end of the day Roland Martin is just as big of a attention whore as Bill O'Reilly, he attacks Snoop because that will get him more views than if he praised Tariq Nasheed.

The difference is those people aren't relying on films to tell their story, to them it's just another tool to explain it. We need to ask why do we still need these movies, because it's starting to feel like the younger generation isn't being taught their history at home. Snoop didn't say we should forget our history, he's just saying our history is more than just being slaves and that needs to be shown. Where are the films about our Kings & Queens?

I want them to show the racist, white supremacist slavers for brutal, sadistic, and sexual perverse individuals that they were.
Show them in all of their murderous brutality when they killed us with impunity. Show them engaging in their twisted sexual fetishes that not only involved them raping women, but men and children also. Show the slavery breeding farms that existed during antebellum slavery.
With all of that being said, on July 18th, 2018 there is a movie coming out that's going to show black people in position light and in positions of power, and as the kings and queens we so desire. It's
So all of y'all that's complaining about all of these slave narratives that are coming out, I fully expect y'all to support Black Panther wholeheartedly and see it multiple times.
So the folks that's not rocking with slaves flicks are supposed to automatically rock with black super hero flicks?
I don't get the logic
Those want to see black people in power. There just needs to be a balance of both

Man Roland is doing exactly what he said he wasn't going to do. He's doing these videos because he knows they will go viral which in turn brings eyeballs to his show. That's cool and all but I think it's funny. There's no reason why Roland even needed to do that shit... Roots is done, it's on tv, and it's successful. At the end of the day Snoop dropped his opinion and he has the right to do that. I guess Bill O'Reilly or Joe Scarborough were quiet on that day.. Roland stay calling them out.

This is a link from 2013 where Roland is saying he wants to see more dynamics when it comes to AA films, so basically what Snoop was saying.
