Guess the pot hasn’t killed all of his brain cells, yet.
Somehow Snoop has said the most intelligent thing about continued enslavement of the black community that we have heard in popular culture in years. Good for him. Let’s focus on the future and opportunity for all, not rehashing centuries old problems that no living person endured nor inflicted.
There. Fixed it.
Fo shizzle!
There is a show about successful black people. It’s called Empire. I’ve never seen it but from what I understand it’s about a music company. And it has a lot of guns and drugs and gangs and violence.
I boycotted the reboot last evening, to vicariously experience the Rays losing to the Royals, with Erasmo Ramirez blowing his first hold of the season. Watching Kunta Kinte wouldn’t have been any better, I think.
Did he point out the fact that Roots is a fictional novel based on a Harry Courlander’s fictional book “The African”.
Courlander later sued Haley and was awarded ~$600K.
From Wiki: Following the success of the novel and the miniseries, Haley was accused by two authors of plagiarism of their novels. Harold Courlander successfully asserted that Roots was plagiarized from his novel The African, published in 1967. The resulting trial ended with an out-of-court settlement and Haley’s admission that some passages within Roots had been copied from Courlander’s work; he said it was unintentional. In a later interview with BBC Television, the presiding judge in Courlander’s lawsuit against Haley said, “Alex Haley perpetrated a hoax on the public.”
The book was originally described as “faction” and was sold in the non-fiction section of bookstores. Haley spent the last chapter of the book describing his research in archives and libraries to support his family’s oral tradition with written records. However, historians and genealogists have found critical errors in his research work. Most of the novel is either unsupported or contradicted by the available evidence.
I’m with him boycott-wise
Us? When was the last time you picked cotton, Snoop?
All of these redos and remakes show how utterly bankrupt hollywood is.
Did you know they’re releasing a remake of Ben Hur this Summer? All of these remakes are going to fail (see Ghostbusters). Nobody likes them. The younger generation doesn’t care and the it pisses the older generations off.
All this pushback against the Left Looney indoctrination is really starting to give me true hope.
He’s gotta point, I definitely agree with.......................
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.
bkmk
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.
