Why 7AM Matters -

I see so much c00ning on vine and it's really discouraging. Saw a video called "how ratchet people eat vs how white people eat" made by a black dude. So now "ratchet" is being used interchangeably with "black" shyt like this goes viral and it just makes you wonder if blacks can even be helped. It's like their goal is to relegate themselves to a caricature.

But yeah BlackTruthForver seems to have a dislike against Asia, even continuing to sprout nonsense about Asians colonizing Africa. To be honest you can't take that serious. Or even him saying black needs their own media; due to him already being brainwashed by a media he claims to dislike.

who controls the media? I think we need something of our own as oppose to BET (Bullshyt Entertainment Television). I mean count on you hands how many positive black shows that are out there, right now. I dont think they are too many.

We need our own independent Hollywood. Something like what Tyler Perry did minus the overbearing jiving, c00ning and stereotyping.

And BET isn't our own; its owned by non blacks. Also the only positive black show with a strong non stereotypical black character that I could think of has to be Luther starring Idris Elba. But that show is over with...

You clowns listen to the mainstream a lot, why don't you people go flog/slap jayz, lil wayne and others for not promoting black group economics in their tracks...

They are reaching the masses and have more influence than people on thecoli.

Yep forgot about that buy out with BET. but i agree, getting damn tired of our afro-americans brothers and sisters, playing c00ns and thugs, pimps......when you realllllllllllllllllly think about it, its like blaxploitation all over again in 2014

But you listen diligently to jayz, snoop and the rest of them clowns too, so we are all guilty by association.

Enough of the preaching, go flog/slap them. Teach them a lesson, enough of your talking man, it's just pointless SMH.

But really... I think its because black people have not expanded out to any genres beyond Comedy and Drama. You hardly see any works of any other genre being done by black people. When was the last time you saw a black version of the movie 300? The black version of 300 could have been the Ancient Nubians resisting the Romans. Yet we've never seen a movie like that.

Stereotypical black comedy/drama has been our norm...

You asking for too much, the black community aint got time for no black 300, sincity, terminator or avatar GTFOH man.

People on here dissing spike lee and the rest all the time but want them to make spectacular shyt SMH.

A lot of black people didn't even give "after earth" a chance, they went along with the white critics.

This discussion is really stupid.

Then leave!!! Your posts are already getting annoying. -__-

As for the 300 thing. I didn't say blacks HAD to make a movie like but that we haven't SEEN a movie like that due to black movies mostly being limited to Comedy/Drama which is mostly filled with jiving and stereotypes. And who the heck mentioned Spike Lee?

Lets practice black group economics, that's the answer. You happy now.

What the hell does group economics have to do with what I just posted?

That's what the black community needs right??????????

You have no power over black hollywood, so what are you going to do about the media??????

Answer = NOTHING.

All you do is complain on a message board when we all know that's not going to do anything.

Everyone keeps making the same talking points but none of these militants are illustrating how to change Black mentality

you got a point here and I would like to see more discussion about it

Not everyone is up on this shyt tho so people need to keep making these videos

But the post you replied to wasn't addressing that. I only said black people need a Black Hollywood to COUNTER misleading images of us. And who the hell said I have power of a Black Hollywood? Stop making strawmans and deflating this topic. This is a forum where we discuss "ideas". Who said I was going to do something about the media? Did I say I was?
