Blacks should stop wallowing in their historical victimhood and start celebrating the enormous victory of the civil rights era. We’ve all come a long way, baby.

Roots: the remake

Supporting translaves (i.e. born free, but self-identifying as slaves) in their quest for social justice (i.e. state slavery as opposed to long-gone private chattel slavery in America).

Who ever said: “Slaves dream not of freedom, but of becoming masters” was on to something. Unfortunately.

Watta world.

Don't know and care even less.

Didn't watch the first one and won't waste my time with this edition.

Do you agree with his point that it’s still going on today?

I tend to agree with Snoop more often than not. He is a good dad and he is a smart guy.

Now, I don’t doubt that living in Compton in the 80’s and 90’s was tough. But my guess is that his experience in America is not mine.

I presume he watches “Empire” on Fox, then.

I tried.

It’s Dallas.

But instead of oil and white folks acting like spoiled idiots, it’s music and black folks acting like spoiled idiots.

If you are referring to the Arabic-Muslim practice of castrating African male slaves to serve as eunuch guards to the slave women harems...I agree.

Alan West has said that he wants to be a 21st century Harriet Tubman to lead the African Americans off the Democrat plantation. What Snoop Dog sees as "still going on today" may be the same dependancy and thought enslavement of the progressive left government policies and media that Congressman West sees. Many links to Alan West quotes, here is one

Hey, Snoop. If slavery had not happened, where would you be now?

Working for the Chinese, digging blood diamonds, 2 miles underground?
