The Black Culture Thread |OT16| - I'm blacker than you'll ever be

These aren't the days of the 1800s. A new modern civil war would spark the "alpha and omega" of America, to assume a revolution would ever take place without other countries taking advantage of America in its weakest moment of infighting would be foolish. It could turnout to be racists against non-racists/PoC/Non-PoC/etc. But those and any other groups would then be against American Military whom would likely be against themselves and no one would survive that outcome. America would blatantly transform into a Dystopia with the wrong people in charge. I understand they say history has a habit of repeating itself, but this is one theory I can't believe would ever happen at least in our years of life.

Morning everyone

I know. But damn it's so depressing to see our only chance to move further toward a better tomorrow slowly going out of our reach. It sucks. I know I know, midterms and all that. But I'm not full of optimism about that then I was during the election.

Here ya go:

...alright, let's restart the cycle with some black news:

Brown Sugar, a new streaming service, is touting itself as "Netflix, but blacker."

Launched by Bounce TV, Brown Sugar features such movies as Shaft, The Mack, Foxy Brown, Super Fly and I’m Gonna Git You Sucka, the Blaxploitation classics.

“These movies are entertaining and fun, but they were also empowering to the black community as they depicted African-Americans as strong leading characters and heroes for the first time,” said Blaxploitation star Pam Grier.

Even Rick Ross is getting in on the excitement, and his promo features him in a jheri curl wig that is well worth the $3.99 monthly fee.

“You can see the influence of these movies in every aspect of rap and hip-hop; in the music, the lyrics, the fashion and overall style,” says Ross. “The blaxploitation genre is where it all began.”

keep your strippers out of my American football
You know what's funny, the crazy racist conspiracy theorists talking about an armed revolution to oppose the government. And the funny thing about that is...the future is looking like it might be a possibility. And it might not be from those conspiracy theorists.

While I don't this some armed revolution will happen, I don't discount the chances of some armed conflict in the streets between these armed neo nazi groups and police at some point.

I'd be down for just 3.99 a month. Bounce TV's original content has been Tyler Perry sitcom tier which I'm personally not a fan of.

As many Black Nerds I know and as much as young black people around 20-24 have been influenced with nerd culture it sucks that the Tyler Perry format is still the main go to when trying to make a show that's for black audiences.

That said this year has been making strides with stuff like Atlanta, Luke Cage, etc.

If I told someone I was subbed to a thing called Brown Sugar, I'm pretty sure i'd get some weird looks.

Would be a nice addition, though. I'm only subbed to Netflix and that's only because Canada has the greatest movie selection of them all.

So I googled 'Teanna Trump' to check and see if she was the illegitimate daughter of our president-elect...

Now how do you delete your history again lol?

He may be decent but i won't support him in 4 years for his medical condition: laryngitis to his racist supporters.
