the true plight of the black man
Are they finally gonna show how black Africans invented slavery, enslaved other black Africans, and sold weaker black people to foreigners all over the world, and the US just happened to see this commodity and purchase some, in a completely legitimate fashion?
Are they going to show how Whites were the first and only peoples to realize the error of their ways and abolish slavey, not only that, but free the slaves and give them equal rights?
Are they going to top it off by showing how slavery still exists in the Muslim and African world today, with blacks STILL enslaving other black people?
If not I think I'll pass
>>70246082
No, they're going to show how the white devil stole every invention from black people, and how they secretly envy black people
Snoop Dogg has no plans to watch the Roots remake, and he's telling his fans to also boycott the show.
The rapper sent out his message over social media on Monday.
"I'm sick of this shit. How the f— are they going to put Roots on, on Memorial Day?" Snoop said in an Instagram video. "They going to just to keep beating that shit into our heads about how they did us, huh?"
The History channel's revival is a four-part, eight-hour series that debuts Monday.
Snoop said he has no interest in new shows and movies — specifically mentioning 12 Years a Slave — that "keep showing the abuse we took hundreds and hundreds of years ago."
"I ain't watching that shit, and I advise you motherf-—ers as real n— like myself; f— them television shows," Snoop said. "Let's create our own shit based on today, how we live and how we inspire people today. Black is what's real. F— that old shit."
The original series, based on Alex Haley's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, debuted on ABC in 1977.

I'm paraphrasing, but that's the gist.

Are you watching the show right now? they literally just talked about how the koros were a tribe that had been enslaving other africans and how the other characters were concerned because they'd been escalating their trade recently.

Or tell me a channel it is on so I can dig one up myself
>>70247677
cause that's what we learned in school from a liberal indoctrination
>>70247677
Because that's the only time it affected the US. They acknowledge slavery throughout the word and throughout history, but they only care about the time it affected their country.
>>70247751
try history channel or A&E
>>70245593
I dont think anyone cares.
>>70247677
I don't think anyone is saying slavery didn't exist elsewhere
Slaves in America hits closer to home and it has a large impact on our history and on life today with the specter of racism still lingering

US slavery is relevant to the US, dumbass.
>>70247798
Except the fact that blacks literally sold their own people into slavery lol
>>70246082
If you mean is it going to show black slavers, yes. Just like the original mini-series it shows Kunta get captured by a rival tribe and sold to whites.
There's already a clip out that confirms this.
>>70247831
You must feel real guilty, huh?
WE WUZ GAMBIA
>>70247831
that doesn't change anything the poster said. Whites still bought the slaves.
>>70247928
Why would he?
niggers
>>70247996
It was economical then, as it was for the umayyads and ottomans.
>>70247996
Selling out your own people is worse than buying them. Not to mention 95% of slaves were actually treated very well by their owners. They were rewarded for hard work, had excellent living conditions and were fed better than a lot of the lower class white folk who worked much harder than slaves.
>>70248152
Nice facts pulled out of your ass.
>>70248152
oh wow
>>70248152
This is a falsehood. While most slave owners were small-scale farmers who worked right alongside the slaves and treated them as a valuable commodity, most slaves were employed by large plantations with atrocious living conditions. Generally, the deeper South you went, the worse it was to be a slave.

>>70248070
>>70248152
neither of these dismiss the fact that the white people who made up the majority of the United States enabled a system that denigrated people into slavery, disproportionally based on race.
America is responsible for enabling an abusive, demeaning system that dehumanized African men and women for cheap labor, building the foundations for a free society by denying freedom to millions of blacks. Who enslaved or sold who is irrelevant--by utilizing this labor, America perpetuated this system.
what was that sniff for?

Actually you just lack the reading comprehension necessary to see how such a basic metaphor applies to the context, so let me spell it out for you.

>>70249231
Because you say so?
Should no criminals see justice just because their crimes are meaningless in the context of history?
>>70248794
Not very different at all.
There would have been more indentured servants and that might have prevented great minds from inventing things.
Slavery enabled some rich fucks to get richer, but it didn't build the country.
>>70248278
Wrong. The way blacks behave today is similar to how they behaved before they were put in slavery.
In slavery blacks were taught to be civilized. They were educated, lived in actual homes and worked hard. The owners, especially the man became a father like figure to his slaves and turned them from common savages to respectable men and woman. Its why you saw the birth of jazz and black men in suits and ties.
Sincd the end of slavery and segregation we are starting to see blacks return to their pre slavery behavior. Behavior comproable to some of the lower class apes. Its kind of a travesty.
>>70249299
They remade Ben Hur too. This is the year of remakes.

As a nation that prides itself on the freedom yet has a history of slavery that stretches back to it's foundational years, and has repeatedly used its public schools to present a sanitized narrative of slavery in this country, it absolutely deserves special mention, w/r/t to the truth.

>>70249040

If it wasn't for the African slave trade, the majority of blacks that live in America would be back in Africa.
For that, blacks should be thankful.
After all, whites could have sent your black asses back...
Shitposting aside, how was the original Roots? I've never seen it, parents enjoyed it though. Is it some sort of generational epic going over the lives a specific family from Africa, through slavery to the modern day or something?

You've got to remember that people were fucking dumb as rocks back then, as can be attested to by the ridiculous medical, scientific, religious, and astronomical beliefs.
People back then really did believe that primitive fucks, like black Africans, were absolutely inferior to cultures that developed the civilizations found in Europe, and in other civilized societies.

If you really think that this is some new wave activism and not empirical reasoning then you're out of fucking gear and kilter.

African immigrants to the US are better educated and generally wealthier than US born blacks. Statistically it would be better to be an African immigrant than a it would be to be a descendant of slaves.

When your nation idealizes itself for it's freedom while utilizing slavery, a practice that runs anathema to freedom, and further tries to present a sanitized image of it's slavery through it's education system, then slavery absolutely deserves to be complained about. Otherwise people will not see the absurdity inherent to this country's foundation and history.
One thing I loved about the first roots was that you KNEW everything would end horribly.
Every time something seemed like it would turn out good, you just sat on the edge of your seat knowing and waiting for it to turn to shit.
Its horribly, terribly brilliant.

>When your nation idealizes itself for it's freedom while utilizing slavery, a practice that runs anathema to freedom, and further tries to present a sanitized image of it's slavery through it's education system, then slavery absolutely deserves to be complained about.
Not an argument. Blacks were property at the time. You don't give freedom to property, cuck.
>>70250556
This is why the north should've just genocided the south after the war.

>rejection of a wildly profitable and beneficial institution literally because of "muh feels"

you're an idiot. The only people who I see getting pissy over "muh feels" are the historical revisionist s who will justify the suffering faced by millions of subjugated blacks, simply because they can't stand the fact that their country isn't as innocent as they want it to be.

Oh good they want more white people to die.
Thanks for reminding them so that another Ferguson or Baltimore happens.

>Not an argument. Blacks were property at the time. You don't give freedom to property, cuck.
Not an argument.
Blacks weren't property. They were human beings, regardless of how their captors labelled them.
>>70250743
And Islam is a religion of peace. Yet the middle east managed to murder and enslave more blacks than Europeans.

They literally were. They were livestock.

The population of black africans that immigrate to the united states is not going to be representative of the population of black africans.
see: brain drain
We're working quickly to make the united states just as shitty as the rest of the world to end this harrowing epidemic.
>>70250826
Nice reading comp, you retard.
I'm arguing that morally they should have never enslaved blacks it in the first place.
>>70250169
>thinking white imperialism works
Ok kid, off your computer.
Time for bed, you've got school tomorrow.
>>70250922
Not an argument. America still enslaved millions of blacks.
>>70250947
cool story, bro

That's where you're wrong faggot.
You honestly think that all people of a certain ethnic group think alike?
>>70250183
right because all of those were white inventions?

Asia?
>>70251010
>Not an argument. America still enslaved millions of blacks.
And they still don't deserve special mention for it.
>>70250960
I'm saying that this statement is fatuous
>Statistically it would be better to be an African immigrant than a it would be to be a descendant of slaves.
as
>The population of black africans that immigrate to the united states is not going to be representative of the population of black africans.
In other words, you're not actually conveying anything meaningful by comparing those statistics. You might as well say, "when we compare a most successful population to the general population, the successful people are successful"
You're disguising a truism.
>>70250956

Ok, lol.
>>70251010
>cool story, bro
I'm sorry that facts disagree with your feelings too.
>>70247677
It was gone for 700 years from Europe at this point, so many progressive Europeans at the time were disgusted by Americans. It's an old narrative.
>>70251030
Neither does the image you posted.
>dude niggers lmao
Oh hey, Chicken George isnt darker than his mom somehow in this one .>>70250879
Engagement and drama is key to good writing.
You see the happy face, and see the sliver of hope.
And then see that hope crushed before your eyes.
Emotional crush

No they didn't. They picked cotton and performed basic agricultural labor.
The chinese built america.

And
>>70249478
>As a nation that prides itself on the freedom yet has a history of slavery that stretches back to it's foundational years, and has repeatedly used its public schools to present a sanitized narrative of slavery in this country, it absolutely deserves special mention, w/r/t to the truth.
Your point has already been presented and adequately refuted multiple times, while these counter points have not been answered in any substantial fashion. Don't waste my time.
>>70251305
>refuted
Your opinion and bias does not refute anything
>>70251177
not sure if bait, but
>Human capital flight, sometimes called brain drain, refers to the emigration of highly skilled or well-educated individuals for better pay or conditions, causing their places of origin to lose those skills and expertise, i.e., the local "brains". Research is mixed as to whether there are net benefits, a "brain gain", or net costs, a "brain drain", to human capital flight for the sending country.
>>70251299
That's why I asked.
What's with the white people here getting so butthurt about slave movies?
Did YOU own a slave?
Did YOU regularly whip slaves?
No? Then it isn't about you. Stop getting so butthurt.
"Hurr muh kill whitey. This show promotes the idea white people r evil hurr"
Stop taking everything so personally
>>70251331
And likewise the opinion and bias that America's use of slavery deserves no special mention does not stand as fact. It just stands as a weaker argument.
>>70251427
Truth stands on it's own. If anything, Americans should be lauded when it comes to the history of slavery, since they are ones of the few that fought and abolished slavery of their own accord. Unlike everyone else but Britian pretty much.
Blacks and the Middle East is still struggling with it, lol.
>>70248794
Bringing hordes of Africans into this country was the worst mistake we've ever made as a country. We have a huge and permanent under/leech class because of that shit.
>>70251525
>since they are ones of the few that fought and abolished slavery of their own accord
Truth does stand on it's own. And those American's who fought to end slavery, those who fought the South, and those blacks and whites who debated slavery at the government level, are often remembered and lauded for doing just that--abolishing slavery. Likewise, those Americans who defended slavery are vilified for defending slavery in order to make profits, like this guy >>70250661
Sadly, it doesn't remove the fact that America as a country utilized that practice, though enough Americans rose up to stop it. Those Americans should be remembered and praised for pushing America in that direction, but America itself shouldn't be praised, as it had to be pushed in the first place.
>>70251381
They can't help it, they're straight while males, and as we all know, THEY'RE THE MOST PERSECUTED GROUP IN THE ENTIRE WORLD WAAAAAGHHH

Europe pls
bugerland would have to have a couple dozen more genocides or start a few world wars before they ever even come close to matching your bodycount and crimes against humanity
>>70251560
The real problem was letting the highlanders and northern english in.
If it weren't for all of their shit, freed slaves might have learned patrician WASP values instead of giving birth to the chav-like dindus that we have today.
>>70251712
>America itself shouldn't be praised, as it had to be pushed in the first place.
Yea, but Americans. Too bad Muslims and Blacks couldn't do it on their own, eh?
Are white people the only people capable of morals and empathy? It really makes you wonder
>>70249868
>Africa is only fucked up because of white imperialism.
This is what libcucks actually believe
>>70251712
>Those Americans should be remembered and praised for pushing America in that direction, but America itself shouldn't be praised
Yeah, individuals should be praised for their actions, not groups of people. The same goes for condemnation.
>>70251827
>Yea, but Americans
Some Americans. Others deserved to be vilified, of course. Certainly wouldn't take pride in it as a nation, but celebrating those who stood up to change America for the better, whites and blacks, absolutely.
>>70251827
>Are white people the only people capable of morals and empathy? It really makes you wonder
Maybe if you met an actual non-white person you'd realize how silly that question is.
