Why not a movie about TODAY? Today there are thousands of Blacks slaves all over Africa and the Middle East, and the slave-owners are Blacks and Arabs. That is NOW. That is happening TODAY. Why go back 200 years when you can document it happening right now.
At this very minute there are Blacks all over the world being bought and sold, beaten and raped, every day of every week of every month of every year. And all we are supposed to worry about is what happened in America?
There were Black slaves when the Bible was written, 5000 years before America even existed. But, when you are pushing a political agenda instead of having a real debate about a global human rights issue, then facts and reality become meaningless.
Many of the educated Black people I know are not falling for this BLM crap, or for their racist ROOTS movie. They see it for exactly what it is, blatant incitement against innocent White people, and pushing the BLM "victim" agenda. Many Black people, like Snoop, are fed up with this nonsense. They know that it will only lead to more violence, and that it will wind up hurting Black people more than any other race in America.
It is impossible for any wound to heal, when groups like BLM, and their supporters (such as Obama) insist on constantly ripping the scab off at every opportunity.
