My brother you are wrong. If both producers are receiving donations to complete a project, how is that apples to oranges. You know that is a false equivalence. You brought up contributing personal funds, I did not. Neither I nor you know if Mr. Nasheed does or not. This is the basis for your argument, you believe Mr. Nasheed should contribute his own funds. I do not believe a person needs to contribute their own funds. You have not said anything of substance to validate why a person " must" contribute his or her personal funds. Your disagreement with Mr. Nasheed's methods is personal and not rooted in logic or and legal precedent.

The Sunscreen Gap: Why Black People Still Need SPF
Do Black people need sunscreen? Plug this question into Google and you get over 70 million results that all emphasize a resounding yes. We debunk how the myth that Black people don’t need sunscreen came to be and solutions that are in the works.
Whatever dude.
On some real stuff, we can not begin to share the false and harmful narrative that melanated people need to avoid absorbing the nurturing rays of the sun. It is therapeutic for us. There are proven health benefits. Many melanated people have had their DNA tainted by interbreeding with the Caucasoid. However, this should not deter the hue-man from remaining connecting to his primary energy source.
You’re not making any sense.
No we were created equal by the annunaki for the sole purpose of mining gold because them aliens were to gotdamn lazy to mine it themselves
I stopped reading after you mentioned BLM. They should be a subject in the Documentary.
I asked @Charlemagne this same question a few days ago. Radio Silence. To be honest, I am not attacking him nor do I blame him for not wanting to engage in this part of our history. As I was dropping my boys off at school on my way to work, I had them repeat 20 times that "Black history is American history." Black folk have to internalize this!!! We can not selectively choose to omit parts of our history, American history, just because it is painful. If we do not educate ourselves and more importantly our future generations regarding atrocities that transpired against us, then soon kidnapped Africans who were living as free people as well as the kidnapped black native Americans who were incorrectly reassigned as African will all be reduced to being called immigrants, thus absolving white people of their crimes and guilt.
I had another response lined up. but then i read @Tito_Jackson 's latest response when he makes specific mention of "Buck Breaking" as a tough conversation. I realized that we may be referencing 2 different, but related ideas. if we are talking specifically about "Buck Breaking", no. That is not necessarily a subject that gets talked about ad nauseam, here, or anywhere else.
Correct. I did bring up Spike Lee's contributing personal funds. When you were asked how Spike Lee financed his films, you disingenuously cherrypicked Malcolm X and mentioned ONLY his accepting donations- as if it paid for the entirety of that film.
...Hence your being one of those I was talking about who doesn't read.
Agreed.
Who in here has told you or anyone else not to see this film? You can only discourage yourself.
SmhOne ADOS cat once told me that Tariq is a BLACK LEADER. I had no comment.
I'm not certain i discouraged anyone. I just expressed a couple of opinions.
Well done. It's the truth.I made this infographic a while back. It was inspired by a similar one I saw, but I thought it was poorly done.
Right. We need to have many eyes. We were burdened with having a genuine fascist in office who literally declared war on the protestors. Imagine the difference in response by the presidential administration, if we would have had a sensible Head of State.
It's no such thing as eumelanted logic.
That's because it's false.
Nowhere in that statement did I say anything about additional funds or other methods of financing. It is akin to me saying "Hey @respiration received a business grant to open his tech shop." This statement does not make any additional assumptions. You could have paid for most of the items, bought all of the computers, and only needed the grant for monitors or the property lease. Conversely, you could have used the grant to finance the entire project. None of that matters. The point is, you received a grant to finance the project.
This point I do acknowledge. I mistakenly mistook someone else's words as being your words.
I was on the run wit my 2 young buls - teaching them the game. How to get this schmoney. How to fuck these bitches, mayne. I had been movin weight for this Haitian cat they called Goat. Short for Manigault. Old head haitian. Made his bones slashin necks in the eighties in Miami. Cocaine cowboy type nigga. They kilt that nigga. So, i had to bounce. One night on some young head shit, one of the young buls shot the other and I was just tired of running and said fuck it. I just let them arrest me, right there in the fancy restaurant. White man, cia type nigga came to me and said. "listen. i can get you out of this, but you're gonna have to do something for me. we need you to join this message board. you know. join. share some videos. make some comments. do that shit for 15 or 16 years. then, one day, when a leader rises up and makes a documentary about buck breaking, we want you to insert some logic and perspective into the conversation. Talk about the credibility of the participants and how you are leery and wary of them." I was like. "ok!". That's how they got me.
it paid for the entirety of that film.Tell the truth brother, please do not change or augment my position to fit your narrative. My quote:

Again, your mistake is that you are making an assumption or creating a false conclusion. This is a text book example of a Straw Man Fallacy. I never inferred as you stated:
LOL What kind of comparison is that? Donald Trump and Spike Lee both have arms and legs and breathe air. That doesn't make them the same person. I feel like you're playing games. I've specifically pointed out ad nauseam the differences between how those two men went about paying for those film projects. Again, Mr. Met asked you about how Spike finances his films (plural) and you not only gave an incomplete answer that didn't entail the collective of movies he made, but you also didn't post the rest of the story of the financing of the singular movie you cherrypicked.
I never conceded that. All we know is what information was put out there. Tariq many times spoke of how his films are paid for. I've never heard him say anything about coming out of his own pocket. Spike has publicly spoken of how "Malcolm X" was paid for, including how he paid into the project.
I appreciate that, brother. No harm, no foul.
Thank you for the clarification. We agree on how we regard TN. In my case, I also strongly dislike how he misinforms and tells outright lies in his podcasts and on social media and how it all too often echoes the same discredit and divide and conquer talking points and strategies of the white right wing establishment. I hear you on what you are saying about not discarding the message due to the flaws of the messenger. I just feel like it's more nuanced than that, bro. If I see the person who is disseminating the information is shaky and often times disingenuous, I'm going to seek out other sources of information on the same topic that come from scholarly and/or journalistically sound places and from honest actors.
