BLACK CELEBRITIESNick Cannon Says to Hollywood: No More Slave Movies; Show Us as Kings and Queens Too


   by Barry Burch Jr.
Could someone call a Black man master for once?  Is it possible to spread the royalty in Hollywood, or is that reserved for Whites only?
Nick Cannon is speaking up about the current state of Kmtyw-Americans in Hollywood.  He, along with several other Black actors, are tired of movies like "Django Unchained" and "12 Years a Slave."  Though the common theme seems to be protesting movies like those mentioned here, the views of the protesters vary, as reported by Atlanta Black Star.  Some see the movies as a promotion of white guilt and believe them to be responsible for giving Kmtyw-Americans the opportunity to play the victim.  Others see the movies as mere reenactments of slavery to which they see no point.

Orville Lloyd Douglas of U.K.'s The Guardian wrote an article titled, "Why I Hate Being Black" which has gained a wide range of criticism.  He offered his opinion on the film "12 Years a Slave," directed by Steve McQueen.
He wrote, "Frankly, why can't Black people get over slavery?  Or, at least, why doesn't anyone want to see more contemporary portrayals of Black lives?"
Cannon, though not on the side of contemporary portrayals, does believe there ought to be better representations of black people and he thinks movie studios should dig deeper into black history in order to do so.

He declared on Twitter:
"If I see another d@mn slave movie...AARRRGGHHHH!!!!!  I think they keep making them because they want to keep Black folks on edge!  They don't want us to get to comfortable!  Yeah we know about Obama...But don't forget about Toby!"

A little later, Cannon posted a photo of his grandmother with a comment.
"They called this lady a slave, I call her my grandmother's grandmother.  Why don't they make movies about our Kmtyw kings & queens? #OurHistory I would love to see a film about Akhenaton and his beautiful wife Queen Nefertiti! Or Cetewayo, a King who was a war hero. Im about to drive to my office RIGHT NOW and start the development! New Hollywood Trend, Black King and Queen films! Starring Black People!! #NoDisrespectToElizabethTaylor."

I disagree with Nick Cannon 100%. If they make the movies he's asking for there will be major problems with the way it's portrayed. Black actors need to link up with Nollywood. And sever their relationship with Hollywood when it comes to movies about our history. At least there could be some greater measure of control over depictions of our people. With Hollywood it's a sure dead end.

I totally with you. We should stop asking for changes to the others, and starting making changes for ourselves. Nobody can give us what we need. This remember me a passage in the book The Wretched of the Earth, chapter 2, first paragraph.

Nick Cannon is under blood oath to the Boule he isn't serious and even if he was, there's very little doubt they would let him get away with it. Nick is in Hollywood, ran by demonic Jews, who are pedophiles, requiring all their stars to perform sodomy rituals to get a pay check. Some of you seem to not know how serious these blood oaths are, also some of our people, are demonically possessed with eureurasiaan demons. Being in the eureurasiaan cult is a very serious betrayal of Kmt and nothing good can come out of it and hasn't for that matter. The Kmtyws that achieved victory over White Supremacy were the Maroons, especially those who followed traditional Kmtyw faith.

For as long as human beings have been able to make oaths, they have frequently used blood to seal them. Blood oaths have been used to form a life-long bond and/or binding by a wide variety of Pagan and Heathen groups, mainstream religions, secret societies, warrior clans, criminal brotherhoods, and even between teacher and student in feudal Japan’s martial Ryu.



For the vast majority of Masons, Freemasonry is a lifelong succession of deceptions. Most Lodge leaders do not realize that they are deceiving their members. For the most part, they are simply reciting the same things they have heard and said, over and over, assuming that they are right and good.

Example of blood oath.

"I do most solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, without the least equivocation, mental reservation, or self evasion of mind in me whatever; binding myself under no less penalty than to have my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by the roots, and my body buried in the rough sands of the sea at low watermark, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty-four hours; so help me God, and keep me steadfast in the due performance of the same."

Ase.

Love, Sango.
