Why can't niggers make their own shit instead of trying to remind us for crimes we didn't commit ?

>Why can't niggers make their own shit instead of trying to remind us for crimes we didn't commit ? Why do degenerate gamblers blame their cards and alcoholics the bottle? Because it's easier than admitting that they themselves are inherently flawed.

They used white actors from the brady bunch and the waltons and had them constantly looking at the camera to say how they felt bad about slavery in the original

I like thinking about slavery It makes me feel powerful
There is no reason for them not to still be slaves, at least they would be productive instead of menaces to society.
I wish it was legal to kill niggers.

Lincoln Campbell
Yeah. Levar Burton was talking about it on Morning Edition. It was so white people in the 70s would tune in. He said that was part of why he wanted to remake it, so he could take all of the guilt stuff out and just tell the story.

did any of you faggots actually watch the show? it was well executed and is already way better than the original. Acting is great, shot beautifully actually, can't wait to see the rest.
calling something bad for the sake of being racist isn't fun nor cool to do, it's just very immature and you probably have a low IQ.
Christian Nguyen
not as low as a niggers tho :^)

Damn kid I think you might be wrong.
Josiah Walker
>"if you don't like what I do you're obviously dumb" You can fuck right off with that superiority bullshit. You know why people are tired of this white guilt, evil slavery crap? Because its been played out too many god damn times. The only reason it was remade and re-released now is because it is exploiting the current upswing in racial tensions.
At its very core, it is a product. A product is supposed to make money. People find it annoying and in poor taste because it's another drop in the bucket of annoying products designed to guilt-trip people for shit they had no involvement in. It tries to push the actions of slave-owners and their mistreatment of blacks onto all white people. Which is incredibly illogical considering white people were the fucking ones that gave blacks their freedom in the first place. Not to mention it is trying to push that blame onto white people 200 fucking years after the end of slavery.
It is simply exploitative drivel which only seeks to further the divide between whites and blacks.
Isaac Sanchez

Unless he removed the blatant historical revisionism he failed.
Now did they show King Ghezo selling slaves to Jews or not?
Jonathan Bailey
You see, I don't understand this mentality. Who the fuck is telling you to be guilty? Did you own a slave? No? Then you didn't do anything and this show isn't about you. It might be about your great great great great grandparents but it isn't about you. Stop blaming your "white guilt" on the media. Stop having "white guilt". Nobody is blaming you for anything you egotistical fuck. The world doesn't revolve around you. Anyone who doesn't understand this is retarded
NOBODY IS TELLING YOU TO BE GUILTY. IT'S JUST BEING ACKNOWLEDGED THAT SLAVERY (BELIEVE IT OR NOT) WAS A THING NOT TOO LONG AGO.
Elijah Hill
we wuz niggas and shit
Juan Price
>You see, I don't understand this mentality. Who the fuck is telling you to be guilty? liberals
Angel Morales
Don't mind the false-flagging shills, they just need to make sure any objection to the white guilt agenda is associated with insane racist extremism.
Sup Forums is like 60-70% full of this shit nowadays.
See pic related. You'd be amazed at how much this goes on. Professional victims need an oppressor to point to, and if one doesn't exist they will create one.
Elijah Cox
My grandparents were German immigrants, we never owned slaves in my family, we have nothing to feel guilty about
Brayden Robinson
WOW. So much wrong in one post.
Ayden Miller
They did, actually. The guy who captures Kunta is a black guy with a grudge against his family. But, you know, historical revisionism and all that.
Austin Ortiz
Yeah, just the whole suburb/GI Bill/drug war thing.
Austin Allen
Are you just trolling or are you incredibly naive? How can you lack any awareness of the agenda that is being pushed by the American media you fucking moron?

1) It's been more than 100 years, how long until it's no longer "not too long"?
2) There are more slaves in Africa today than there ever were in the United States.

Clearly you did not read my entire post.
Leo Foster
> IT'S JUST BEING ACKNOWLEDGED THAT SLAVERY (BELIEVE IT OR NOT) WAS A THING NOT TOO LONG AGO. Yea, but I'm not Muslim or West African. So I have nothing to feel bad about when it comes to slavery.

>Who the fuck is telling you to be guilty? Did you own a slave? No? Then you didn't do anything and this show isn't about you. It might be about your great great great great grandparents but it isn't about you. Are they slaves? Have they been saves? No, then it isn't about them either so what are they crying about?
Ryan Lopez
But why would someone like me, who never owned slaves, who comes from a family that wasn't even in the fucking US until the 1940s, need to feel like this has to speak to me on some shamey white person level? Why is that expected of me? Me and mine literally had NOTHING TO FUCKING DO with slavery. SO why are BLM and BLM cucks always trying to shovel this shit down my throat every other decade? I really don't care and never will. Also it's bad enough when that one loser you know bitches and moans for years about how his life isn't fair, and here we have an entire bunch of losers crying for fucking centuries about shit that happened centuries ago. We get it: you're too stupid to rise above it. Not my fucking problem.
Zachary Ward

Matthew Price
How can you call it a conspiracy theory when it is right before your eyes? Read up on it fuckwit
>2) There are more slaves in Africa today than there ever were in the United States. yeah but they're illegal and you don't have entire governments crying about how slavery is an integral part of their culture and any attempts to curtail slavery is an affront to African pride
I really don't get this point at all. People have a problem with slavery in the US because it was so entrenched and normal to consider all niggers property, the scale was a secondary problem. You might as well say "well there's more murders in Mexico today than Aztec sacrifices in 1500 so clearly ripping the hearts of people out to satisfy Tezcatlipoca's infinite blood-thirst wasn't that bad and we should stop depicting ritual human sacrifice as a negative in media"

This is why these threads are always so shit. Sup Forumstards come in, see that it's a show about niggers, and instantly make up their minds about what it is and what agenda it's promoting without actually having watched any of it. The "Dear White People" threads were the worst because a huge part of the movie attacks the whole idea of being an uppity nigger blaming everything on whitey, but Sup Forums just looked at the title and and the poster and concluded it was just concentrated white guilt
