I saw it in a packed theater and there were some groans and teeth sucking on a few parts although there was huge applause in other parts.

I would wouldn't consider it garbage at all.

I learned some things and I was like "yeah right" on some things. The SOLUTIONS part in the last fifteen minutes is where most people applauded.

Definitely worth the time and money.

they do stretch some topics but for the most part the knowledge is solid. and most of all it's presented in an entertaining fashion.

It's not the best film but certainly not garbage. It may not be that informative for people who are enlightened on these topics. But to those who need a little enlightenment this can be helpful.

initially inspiring.

scholarship is lacking and problematic.

it definitely can inspire someone who is passive about "the cause" and get them pointing in the right direction.

but it is severely lacking in what it presents as sources and documentation, and how they arrive to conclusions.

it could've been done much better, but parts were done well, and I am not going to knock people for trying.

this post blew UP.

Nothing wrong with being woke. The first time I heard it was 'Master Teacher' (Sa-Ra, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Bilal and Erykah Badu depending on which version you hear)

the chorus goes:

"What if there were no NIGGAS...only MASTER TEACHERS?"

(( I stay WOKE))

there's nothing wrong with 'waking up' from whatever slumber. My personal thing is: find your life path and stay on it. Live a purpose-filled existence and be happy. contribute something positive to your people, your culture, the human race.


But if you gon watch HC and come at me with all these so-called facts that you only pulled from THAT source, and you aint read no Koran , Torah or ANYTHING ELSE....you gotta get the fuck outta here.

who made that nigga THE source of all blackness.

As a Black history documentary, funded by
the Black dollar and doesn't cater or bend
to white supremacist fragility, its success
is nothing short of amazing. I applaud Tariq
and all the sisters and brothers involved
in making that the number 1 documentary in
the world.

That said, lol @ a so-called pro-Black and
conscious person making this post.

Unpossible (c)

I understand everybody isn't gonna like
everything, but for that to be such an
inspiration to people globally, and you
not have one positive word to say about
and claim to be pro-Black is worth calling
bullshit.

The series isn't without its flaws, but the
pros far outweigh the cons, and it's definitely
an accomplishment worth celebrating.

I couldn't really get into the series myself because I had already begun reading about a lot of this stuff prior to viewing Hidden Colors. But I'd imagine that this would be eye-opening to someone really young who has no clue about Black/African history.

That being said....the whole 'have you heard of this? we did that' approach got tired really quick for me. I feel that the documentary should've been structured a little different.

---------------------------------------


---------------------------------------

We tend to assume that everyone is reading
as much as we are, or has the time to do so
and then get on this "more conscious than thou"
high-horse. People don't have to be young or
unusually uninformed to learn something from
the series. It's packed with information...
especially numbers 2 and 4.

The only reason reading up on Black History became a personal pastime for me was because my Mom forced to read a bunch of pamphlets on great Blacks when I was 7.

She caught me rocking one of those Confederate Ranger hats at a museum and flipped out. TBH....I did look like a husky non-woke Pharrell with that hat. I had to read about Black History and watch an Oprah special on racism......at age 7.

After that, I just kept reading about black people. A couple professors put me on to Frantz Fanon and some other writers.

Without that, I would be like a lot of other people....just not aware at all. I applaud Tariq Nasheed and the rest for putting the series out. Of course that's only the start.

I feel that. I do hate how folks go harder
at Black folks trying to do something positive
than they go at the school curriculum brainwashing
our children with false history daily tho.
I mean if we wanna talk about bending (and omitting)
history, they run that game. Like Saul Williams said,
before a pendulum rests, it has to swing in the
opposite direction first, so I'm actually not too
mad if Hidden Colors did put some sauce on it.

Word. That's what matters most imo. They
found a way to reach folks I never thought
would gain any level of consciousness.
Honestly I'm impressed with the whole thing.

he promised he could teach you to get money out of people with just your mind and your words, and then he showed you how it's done.

very rare someone provides a real demonstration of what they're selling.

And that's exactly what his books are... dating
and relationship advice, not "pimping books".

He also made a subpar horror film. Does that
somehow discredit him too? Totally separate
ventures.

You use "pro-black" as an insult.
Everything you're saying in here is the
direct result of that.

He's paid for innocently slain Black men's
funerals, but he doesn't publicize that.
He helps people in the community start
businesses, but of course you don't know
about any of this, because you just want to
think of him as some sleazebag who writes
so-called "pimp books" in your words.

I've seen portions of one his previous Hidden Color documentaries. There was so many instances of half-truths, full lies, and specious statements made that it is shameful.

Nasheed is a huckster, homophobic, and misogynist. He calls black women "bedwenches," yet wants to claim he cares so much about black people. If you take out women and LGBTQA black people, what you have left is heterosexual, cis black men, which is the only group he cares for.

All he did was trade one hustle for another. Why people give him money for anything he says or produces is beyond me.

>Nasheed is a huckster, homophobic, and misogynist.


Let's be more honest. He calls guys "moist" if
he doesn't consider them manly men. He's made it
clear many times that he loves his gay brothers
and sisters. The "misogynist" tag comes from the
fact that he often questions the origins of feminism
and its affect and allegiance to Black women in
particular.



>He calls black women "bedwenches,"

Correction: He refers to women who take on a white
supremacist ideology as a result of sleeping with
white men, as bedwenches.


Overall, he's grown up a lot over the years.
Something our friend rjcc should be able to understand,
considering his antics on the boards over the years.

>but he is an admitted ex pimp...so him being misogynistic is

They're going on about lies and half-truths, but
not telling the straight-forward truth.
Either he's a misogynist he's not.
I know that he's admired and studied the pimp
game. He doesn't hide that, but I'd love it
if you could show me where he's ever said he
used to actually be a pimp.
His concern is teaching men how to be leaders...
particular young Black men.
