We have an African American Bitch made president . Yet most of the movies, and shows made about blk ppl since, is some sterotypical bs or slave shit.
And its the same type of slave movie.
Nothing empowering. No revolts, nothing.
Our kids dont need to see a muthafucka getting his ass whipped for two hours, then watching his wife and daughter get raped for another 30 minutes, while the fumble mouth nigga do nothing.
Them lil niggas need to see stuff that empowers their minds. Ppl making changes and moves in society.
I remember watching the vanguard black panther flick, and having a discussion with my little bro, and how exciting he sounded, and proud he looked... I want ya to remember that. The feeling u get when u see blks do empowering shit, vs. When u see blks assed out...
And u can see why slave projects get green lit ALL the time.

People have a problem with Roots, really? Do you have a problem with the way women are portrayed in Hip-Hop around the world? How about how Hip-Hop reintroduces slave politicts such as the color caste system in regard to women? How about the way Black men are projected in Hip-Hop and this current drug culture thats mass promoted in Hip-Hop? But y'all got a problem with Roots?
Go to any college campus white males and females are reciting "nigga" more than their favorite rapper, but roots is the problem.
Oh ok.

On the low, some of the parts I saw, I didnt watch close to all of it, made me wanna go even harder in things. Like it had a weird effect of being real inspiring. But it wasnt something I sat there and watched. More like flipped back and fourth some and watched scenes that I chose to watch. But what I saw made me wanna go harder and I was not excited about watching it I just happened to see some of it. But whatever. It came on, I saw some of it and it had an effect. Some of it was Powerful sht and kinda awesome actually. It didnt have deflating effect. Quite the opposite. And I have no bias I wasnt really feeling it going in. Like I said I only saw certain parts though at the same time.

You Goddamned negros are something else.
You have no problem with these rappers constantly telling our kids that selling drugs/being a thug is cool, but then you have a problem with this. Smh.

No, you muthafuckin sambos/saltines have lost it....or never fuckin got it. Or have just outright refused to acknowledge it.
You keep using some form of "black-on-black violence/degradation" into justifying supporting bullshit, from All Lives Matter horseshit, to shaming people for not liking the new Roots. FOH. Roots didn't need rebooting. Neither does most of the programming that's out now. It's lazy, it's uninnovative, and it shows clearly that black actors and actresses won't be thought of mostly than people who have to always "overcome some form of human injustice" to get ahead in the cinema world.
Like I said, fuck new Roots. I'd rather watch Game of Thrones or the NBA Finals before this re-hashed shit.

It's because they lack accountability. Something is always the fault of others. There is always someone pulling the stings of blacks like puppets dictiating their behavior.
I have worked on various college campuses since 2007, and can honestly tell you this generation of Black people have no Black consciousness. They don't care about Blackness, Africa or anything. Discussing the history of Black people to them, and who we are as a people is like talking to a brick wall. They don't wanna hear any of it at all. They identify more with a multicultural approach. Where they group everyone in their struggle. Which I'm not surprised by, as most people who have been oppressed seek to identify with everyone. While "everyone" continue to identify with their own.
I believe the Obama presidency really blinded the minds of many Black people, which caused them to really believe we now live in a post racial society; all because a mixed race man became the president of the United States. Look at the statistics of interracial couplings, it increased greatly during the Obama presidency. Now that Obama is almost out of office, observe the current consciousness of Blackness thats projecting.
Truthfully, cases of Black men being killed by police never stop. Police terrorizing Black people in their neighborhoods ect... It never stopped. What stop was Black people and their focus to be interested in Blackness.
With a generation of young Black people who have their history so removed from their identity, who view Europe more as home, than Africa projects a need for shows like Roots to exist.

Its not about just black history. Roots is also a visual of white history too. Ppl get to see where white folks get their entitlement from. I watched the show and it was dope. A lot of things that happened then are hapenning now. Its not just about slavery, its about black unity, black love & how powerful we could be if we knew our african heritage. Id rather watch roots then listen too or watch any of the modern day coon shit y'all niggaz feed into
