Top kek Snoop Dogg's boycott was a failure.

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

like bro, make your own history and stop bitching about the past

god damn, man

A lot white guilt out there. Lol. Keep on cuckin'

>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.

Because it was playing on like three channels at once.

Snoopy told me not to

they remade roots? what was wrong with the original series

Not much of a surprise. The miniseries is a dead format. What competition has it had?

it wasn't making the kikes money anymore

DUDE I GOT A BONE TO PICK LMAO

I GOTTA BONE TO PICK

>Why can't niggers make their own shit instead of trying to remind us for crimes we didn't commit ?
That's literally what Roots is. Have you seen the original book? It's Tolstoy length.

WHATS THE YAMS?

>I am a Kunt

I DONT WANT YOU MONKEY MOUTH MOTHERFUCKERS SITTING IN MY THRONE AGAIN

Kendrick Lamar is trash.

IM MAD

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

BUT I AINT SWEATIN

I like thinking about slavery
It makes me feel powerful

THE YAM IS THE POWER THAT BE

what? really?

youtube.com/watch?v=hRK7PVJFbS8

ITS BUT I AINT STRESSING REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

annie r u ok ?

Niggers are so fucking pathetic.

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.

who is this

He's got a bone to pick.

>multi-network

I wonder why, they literally forced it down everyones throat.

king kunta

>saying you don't like something is now calling for a boycott
No.

AND IF I GOT A BROWN NOSE FOR SOME GOLD I'D RATHER BE A BUM THAN A MOTHAFUCKIN BALLA

BITCH WHEN YOU AND I WAS WALKIN

you can smell it when im walking down the street

i really don't care about peoples racism or even mind it at this point but can you at least try not to sound like an underage kid when you're posting on Sup Forums? i don't mind sharing this board with racists, everybody has their own thoughs, but i do mind sharing it with highly opinionated autistic children

so yeah just leave

careful with that edge, son.

SOMETHINGS IN THE WATER

he got a bone to pick

LIFE AINT SHIT BUT A FAT VAGINA

Let me tell you

NO BLACK PEOPLE WATCHED THIS

Only white guilt mutha fuckas watched this trash
The same time of white guilt cacs that spam cuck porn

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.

DAY OF THE ROPE WHEN

He's just a monkey mouth motherfucker.

HES GOT A BONE TO PICK

I SHOULD PROBABLY RUN FOR MAYOR WHEN IM DONE TO BE QUITE HONEST WITH YOU FAMILY

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.

not as low as a niggers tho :^)

CRAWWWWWWLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGG

>A niggers (sic)
Not mine. Most of the country, either, desu.

Damn kid I think you might be wrong.

>"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.

>Because it was playing on like three channels at once.

THIS

I was shocked by that shit. They're boosting numbers by making people say to themselves "Eh, might as well".

They did the same thing with the MTV Awards, they're testing the waters.

SOMETHINGS IN THE WATER

Is it racist that I named my cat "Kunta Kitty"?

>not Kitty Kunta

>Cable Mini-series
>only last 3 years
>only cable, excluding ALL good mini-series

Literally up against NO COMPETITION. Hilarious they'll try to use it as a victory.

>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.

Unless he removed the blatant historical revisionism he failed.

Now did they show King Ghezo selling slaves to Jews or not?

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.

we wuz niggas and shit

>You see, I don't understand this mentality. Who the fuck is telling you to be guilty?
liberals

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.

My grandparents were German immigrants, we never owned slaves in my family, we have nothing to feel guilty about

WOW. So much wrong in one post.

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.

Yeah, just the whole suburb/GI Bill/drug war thing.

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?

Oh do explain

Am I reading it wrong or does that mans face read "I am kunta"?
>kunta
What kind of name is that and how easily could someone shoop it to say "I am a kunt" for my 8th grade level mentality

As long as you don't whip her and ask her for her name.

>not too long ago

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.

>It tries to push the actions of slave-owners and their mistreatment of blacks on to all white people

Clearly you did not read my entire post.

> 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.

You need a new tinfoil hat cuz.

>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?

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.

bump

How can you call it a conspiracy theory when it is right before your eyes? Read up on it fuckwit

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_guilt

>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"

you need a bullet

Don't open this.

how can the black man even compete

>expecting a Sup Forumstard arguing in this thread to have actually watched the show

>his name is Cunta

HA HA HA

DAE ITS SOUND LIKE LE CUNT HAHA

Why do you care, OP? You're fucking a white male. No one is thanking you for making this post, least of all black people.

time to drop my gfs sons off at the pool

Wow m8 you are one mad racist retard. No one shamed you to watched this show or some into this thread and act like a massive faggot.

...

Australian power hour starts early

>asks if you actually watched the show and discusses some of the merits of how it was produced
>gets a 2 paragraph screed about media control and race war in the US

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

DUDE I GOT A BONER PIC

So is Darnel done with your wife for the time being? Is this your night tonight?

>I got called out on being a fucking idiot, b-better call him a cuck!

Neck yourself my dude.

but mainstream media is shaming people into watching it, just as they are doing with ghostbusters

>shilled on 4 (four) channels
>best it did was beat Bonnie and Clyde aired on A and E three years ago, which I never even heard of

Smashing success lol
