I've seen Roots and other slave movies that were made back in the day but I haven't watched the recent ones.
-
I saw the original that's all I need to see. I did watch it last night, I thought was ok. I was wondering when the Aliens of the Illuminati will show up.

If, you're tired of slave movies then you should be tired of gangster, ? , drugs and hoe movies as well.
i agree. but this fits into the lifestyle idea some people want to live.
i bet more people got and watch scarface in their crib then redtails
Red Tails was a horrible movie. Great cinematics but writing was poor and acting wasn't that great. Traditional Lucas Film.
But I'm ready to see the Nat Turner movie.
Redtails was a horrible movie. It felt more like a Disney sunday night movie than a historical film. And they just had to throw a white ? and some jungle fever ? in there to. ? had nothing to do with the Tuskegee Airmen but anything to make white people feel comfortable. -
Anyone going to see Free State of Jones?

So if we want want our stories told, what's wrong with pooling our money to hire a capable and qualified filmmaker to see the vision through? That way the people control the narrative and not the narrative controlling the people.
Oh wait, you all didn't really think that these studio would go deep into their pockets empower us and build US up did you? -
Hell Nah, Snoop needs to put the blunt down.I love slave movies because without them white people will rewrite history and act like it wasn't that bad.

Cool but slave movies are great. White people keep forgetting why we are in ghettos and why we have a self destructive element. I want white people to see it took a nation of millions to hold us back. -

You said it best folk,
They already trying to rewrite the history books and take out the word slave
We need to keep our slave movies to show the next generation of black kids.
Also showing them something positive is good too.
On the side note in regards to movies/docs
Hidden Colors 4 is in the 10 slot on Amazon for all movies that has come out.
The power of the black dollar.

I'm cool on the slaves narratives, unless somebody does with Spielberg did with Schindler's List and and Saving Private Ryan and show slavery in all of it's barbarity and sexual depravity. 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 ? 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. -
Hell Nah, Snoop needs to put the blunt down.Getting rid of slave movies is like telling.......
-White people to forget 9/11
-Jewish people to forget the Holocaust
-Native Americans to forget when Christopher Columbus hit Plymouth Rock
-Japanese people to forget Hiroshima & Nagasaki
Snoop talking out the side of his ass on this one. -

Bp is a super hero in a made up town lmaooo -
I really think Snoop was saying that we don't need a 2 slavery movies/tv shows a year situation like what's happening right now. I totally agree with that. People only make slave ? because it's the easier path to getting awards. Let's be real. Just like how in the tv news business, stations cover the pain of people and get Emmy awards off that ? . More stories need to be told, the stories that have not been told yet.. Give me the slave movie and a movie about some ? like Black Walstreet or something.

5 pages of yall debatin about what the ? snoop dogg thinks!!?
really!!?
SNOOP. DOGG?! -
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. ? 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 ? ? was heart breaking how they made that man assimilate

He made a point, but I do wish they would make more movies (a lot more) about us being kings/queens instead of focusing on us being slaves and always taking a beating..... -

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 ? as Bill O'Reilly, he attacks Snoop because that will get him more views than if he praised Tariq Nasheed.the dukester wrote: »Getting rid of slave movies is like telling.......
