Gotta agree with this brotha, lets keep it 100, NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY, gives a damn about culture when the society when live in as a whole lack cultivation. people are not interested in the roots of tradition let a lone the importance of historical facts.Music, the glorification of destructive behavior and "lack of leadership" are entirely worthless topics of discussions.
"Culture" is overrated, over discussed and over analyzed.
Talk about Poverty/Education/Housing Discrimination/Voter rights.
but miss me with this culture stuff.
Tickets were sold out in my city so I pre-ordered the DVD.Anyone else seeing hidden colors 4 tonight?

Y'all watching Roots? I just can't sit through anymore slave movies/shows. Us being servants, getting toutured. All these slave movies are getting old. African people were the first people on earth, our history is way more than slavery. It's like they refuse to show anything else when it comes to black history. I'll watch the Nat Turner movie when it comes out but other than that I'm good. Hidden Colors series is way better than these same ol stories.

wouldn't watch it if i could...i'm not really sure why someone felt roots need to be remade, the og mini-series, while not perfect was cool; not sure it needed to be re-interpreted for today? i don't get it...
on i'm on the fence with the upcoming nat turner joint because it is actually is apart of history many are unfamiliar with (myself included!) and the initial talk about it seem positive but...honestly i'm cool on all these biopics & historical films...it's almost as if the folk in hollywood have no imagination/perspective of narratives that feature people of color unless it is happened in real life
and while i know this is an unpopular opinion to have here, the the hidden color series of films are just the opposite side of the same coin as the historic biopic hollywood films, both show how starved people of color are for content that tell our stories, both are engaged in the building of myths that flirt & play around with truths, and in my opinion both are fairly cynical in their appeals to their respective audiences...
Yeah, if you read up on African history quite a bit, much of what they're saying you'll already know. I've always watched the series more for the solutions and dialogue part than the history side of it.I got a ticket to catch it here in DC it was pretty good nothing mind blowing IMO alot of stuff they touched on I've read or heard before
I think the Nat Turner movie is going to be different for the simple fact that Nate Parker himself handled almost everything with it from directing, screenplay, and financing.
I personally want to see successful historical black people, Madam CJ Walker, GW Carver, WEB DuBois, etc. Though it ended bad, what about the Black Wall Street in Oklahoma, etc.
Hidden Colors is something I appreciate but am careful not to get too engulfed in it. It's dropping knowledge on things you may not have known, but as w/ other documentaries, the people who made it have an agenda and I don't want to get caught up in it. I take the info and do more research and things of that nature.
The mainstream doesn't want to show black people in power positions. If they can make all these gladiator type movies they can definitely make a movie about the Moors but that's not the image they want to put out. Black people as rulers.
I feel uneasy about all of this white-washing done to Ali this week.

It's been done ever since he got sick and couldn't speak
