Slavery was bad, I get it, I don’t need to be reminded yet again.
Wow. Never thought I would take note of, or agree with anything said by Snoop Doggy Dogg..... But there you have it..............
Well, no, you aren't.
Why don’t y'all go and make a {deleted} series about the success that black folks is having?
Good question. Why aren't there more good movies about successful black people? Thomas Sowell, for example, has had a very interesting life, and he's a smart-mouthed curmudgeon who would make a great lead character.
He was so funny when he pretended to be in aerial combat with the Red Baron.
How about a 1 hour special documenting how black men have raped and murdered white women.
How about that? Let’s contrast the slave trade against Black men raping and murdering white women.
Hell, let’s let that film run.
I guess he’s ashamed that blacks were enslaved by whites. Or he’s ashamed at how ridiculous the current generation’s complaints look compared to what their ancestors suffered.
Me neither, Snoop. After 40 years you guys should have your own shit going on. Congratulations Mr. Dog. Black Americans will go down in world history as the single lowest return on invested social capital in human history. Good job.
TOTALLY agree with him.
Next, a series documenting a homosexual branch of Alex Haley’s African relatives:
Froots.
Like my husband says, thousands died in the Civil War fighting to free the slaves.
What happened to Snoop Lion? Did it go the way of Pdiddy?
I like the Snoop Dog. Hollywood tries to make money off of white guilt. There are plenty of talented Americans around. They have tales to tell. I wish they would.
I watched the first 30 minutes of the remake. It sucked. At least the original was entertaining.
I would love to see a series of shows about blacks who have had a real impact on American life, and that would include adding some names that I don’t agree with politically.
I think it would give a lot of young black men and women some real role models to look up to and give them a feeling of connection to American History.
A short weekly series about a different figure each episode.
- Crispus Attucks
- Sojourner Truth
- Frederick Douglass
- Harriet Tubman
- Booker T. Washington
- George Washington Carver
- W.E.B. DuBois
- Langston Hughes
- Thurgood Marshall
- Jackie Robinson
- Malcolm X
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
- Thomas Sowell
- Walter Williams
- Clarence Thomas
- Oprah Winfrey
- The Tuskegee Airmen
That would be a good start and if it were to be done as biography instead of having a political slant, it would be a very interesting series and maybe start conversations about how integrated blacks are in our history.
I get where he’s coming from. Hollywood is stuck in the paradigm portraying black people as long suffering powerless victims. Snoop for better or worse in terms of the content of what he’s talking about is a person who had taken the freedom and opportunity that he enjoys here in America, and done something with it. He’s not sitting there wallowing in the pain that was suffered centuries ago by people he’s never met, and is encouraging other blacks to avoid the same.
Slaves wanted to work for themselves, marry, have children, raise them to be strong people. They all dreamed of it. Few got to do it.
Today, young African Americans are not paired up and put together for hopes of breeding slave stock. Today, young African Americans could freely hold back from unprotected sex and work hard to reach a point where they could afford to raise their children to be strong people.
“Snoop Dogg concluded that he would not watch Roots, and advised his fans to avoid it”
I’ll take his advice.
A new kind of snowflake?
Good grief, man! That story is 100% FREAKING FICTION!!
The victims were 100% illiterate; for many generations!
I watched the first ‘Roots’ in the ‘70s. It was supposed to be a true story and I teared up when Kunte Kinte was stolen from his family. I read that the remake removed all the ‘good White people’. Knowing what I know now about the ‘history’ of Roots, I would never watch it. Sadly, the majority of Blacks in this country are so completely indoctrinated by Obama’s hatred for Whites, they will never be happy about anything. It didn’t have to be this way.
I wonder if he feels the same way about “Django, Unchained”.
