Did anyone's parents make y'all watch slave movies growing up?

My dad forced me to watch Malcolm X, and I saw Rosewood out of random curiosity.

Books are great in informing people, but there is a reason why video images are popular and why people want to adapt books into visual form.

I already know that many people, in all subjects, prefer movies to print.
All that tells me is that (1) many people are too lazy to read, (2) can't use their own imaginations to picture things, and (3) believe everything their eyes see.

I was raised on a mental diet of Roots and taped Public Enemy and 2pacolypes Now video's recorded off Yo! MTV Raps I used to be a black militant in kindergarten.

No, my mom is mixed. I did watch nikka shyt growing up though, but it wasn't because she was insecure about me not knowing black history, it was because the shyt was good

I watched roots with my parents.

I distinctively remember feeling vengeful.
