Good idea. Too bad any counterpoint to the Jewish political narrative will be completely blackballed. The only way to do it is through something like youtube...and they're banning "hate speech" on it. And guess which group of people get to determine what "hate speech" is?
Jewish supremacy and their contempt for non Jews is reaching a boiling point again.

>>70331952
Because I already saw the original show. I don't need to see some shitty remake coasting off name recognition and White Guilt
Why are the critics reviews and the audience reviews always so polarized?

Well all those channels are associated with crappy shows (A&E, Lifetime, New History channel) so no one would watch it in the first place

Critics and the Average Joe look for different things in movies and shows. Critics see a perfect show because it checks all their boxes while the audience sees a mediocre unnecessary remake

We're not stupid enough to think that positive reviews actually drive views, right?
Because that's not how it works.
Usually, positive reviews tilt the balance for someone "on the fence" about it. Rarely, overwhelming positive reviews where they weren't expected make something into a bit of a "curiosity piece".
Roots is something that you're either going to already have wanted to watch... or you won't. And it's also something that any reasonable human being will know is absolutely critic-bait.
Positive reviews aren't going to really help it. Positive reviews are just expected.
BvS probably got more views from its overwhelmingly negative reviews than Roots will ever get from its overwhelmingly positive reviews.
i don't want to.
>>70331952
>more Jewish propaganda intended to further divide us

>>70336477
>We're not stupid enough to think that positive reviews actually drive views, right?
The correlation between good reviews and a product selling is undeniable. Check the highest grossing movies and you'll see most of them are loved by the critics.
>>70336767
I can only think of based Armond.
Nobody else has the balls and wants the scrutiny of disliking a WE WUZ KANGZ show
>>70336767
fun fact, people in most professions like to set themselves apart from their competition. Sure some risks aren't worth taking, but if a reviewer genuinely didn't like a film they wouldn't be afraid to lose their job over giving it a negative review when others liked it. If anything, controversy sells so why not slap on the clickbait headline onto a story that's critical but still addresses the positives?
Oh wait right, the everpresent Jewish conspiracy is bribing literally everyone on the planet to do their bidding, I keep forgetting
>>70336713
Where did you even get that out of what the anon says? This is about white guilt not causing actual violence. All it takes is for a white girl to feel white guilt, she fucks a nigger and bam you got another single mother caring for a mongrel by herself. gtfo or get woke
>>70336810
For tv/films, it's a one-way correlation.

But most of the well-reviewed movies are not the most commercially successful.

There is differentiating from the herd, and then there is sticking your neck out so far your head is chopped. There are prevailing social mores that are very risky to violate.

>>70337016
It was
>white girl to feel WHITE guilt
not
>women fuck niggers out of guilt
Nice job misquoting to prove your point. White guilt is not the same as simply feeling sorry for someone, it's the implification that someone was somehow wronged and it's up to you to make up for it for some reason. Which wouldn't be the case for some 4chaner.

The show is not meant to make you feel good, silly anon. It's goal is to make you angry and hate whitey even more.
None of the black people I know are watching it because theyre actually intelligent enought to realize its obvious pandering to militant black people by the media when they stand to gain the most money off of roots
>doesn't show rival African tribe capturing slaves to sell to Arab slave markets and transported on Jewish owned slave ships
>doesn't show a thousand years of brutal Islamic slavery that would geld their slaves
>Emphasizes American slavery despite the other versions of slavery being far more brutal and going on for far longer
The only logical conclusion is that the film makers hate whites or are trying to extract resources from whites by making them feel guilty. There is no historical or intellectual honesty to be had here.
This is pure Jewish hatred. Made by Jews, promoted by Jews, and sold by Jews.

Being Christian garnered favor with their masters.
Imagine you have a slave who believes in um'bukuku the goat god and he likes to dance around in the mud to appease him, and rejects your God, Jehovah.
Then you have old Samuel who's a decent Christian negro, reads the scripture and goes to church. Maybe he even helped build a church for you.
Who are you going to give favor to? Who's gonna get whipped and who's gonna get the good slave quarters or even be allowed into the house? Even be freed in his old age?
It would only be logical to convert.
>>70340715
>Even be freed in his old age?
Being freed in old age would actually have been a terrible punishment, not a reward. As long as you remained a slave your master legally had to give you food and shelter, how the fuck would some freeman who was too old to work support himself?

I'd rather read the book now. Watching the show I'm getting different stuff than the first series.
Like Kunta Kinte wants to go to Timbuktu to study at a university. That was NEVER mentioned in the 77 series.
I feel like this series is just cutting down on scenes just to shove as much in as possible.
>>70340979
Even being a young freeman wasn't necessarily better than being a slave, nobody would have hired you when there were perfectly good slave and/or white men to use instead, not to mention as a slave you were protected by your master from getting abused or lynched by white men like the KKK, you were basically escaping slavery only to become a Chinese migrant worker, not exactly a massive improvement
>>70340979
That's why many chose to remain slaves and rejected freedom. Or, they were legally freed but stayed on their master's plantation and continued to work for him. Because life there was usually better than trying to make it on their own, unless they had a particularly cruel master in which case they risked running away.
>>70341152
Not to mention a lot of slaves ran away around the time of the Civil war because abolitionists often killed slaves as well as plantation owners when they raided plantations
>>70341090
>implying a university in Timbuktu would have accepted a non-muslim student
AYO HOL UP
>Why haven't you watched Roots yet?
But I did, when it aired in 1977, because that's the one that matters. This newfangled fucked up bullshit cannot compare with the original on any level at all.
Though they might share the same name for the mini-series, that's where any potential equality ends.
