Rosewood loss cause nobody wants yall to go through that trauma.
Kausion
Yeah i knew the type of group G.A's were based off of the name alone and from what little you had thats dope.We need more people in the world like that today
Kausion
I did think that when you mentioned Malcolm and this refreshed my memory with that discussion i were listening to on YT live.One is a member of NOI i forgot what other dude is a part of but he mentioned the 5 percenters and that the dude got kicked out.
Gary Best
Guardian Angles is a non profit volunteer group different from the National Guard. The GAs made citizens arrest on the subways and the streets they also started educational programs for schools and business.
Gary Best
They have members who are NOI and a lot of people get them confused with being a NOI group. The leader was once apart of The NOI but like I said he was kicked out for what he was preaching and thatās when he started The five percenters.
Kausion
Cool! (bc of different time zones)Wish yall uploads would drop at night on my sideš(4-5 hours away) cant please us all, & cant have it our way all the time though right lol off topic but im one day ahead of yall and also there is a place here which is the first place in the world to see the sun(depending on time of year)as its also said to be Kiribati,Japan,Russia lol definitely watching TBS tonight thanks for the heads up!
Kausion
Yeah thats part of the reason i like the movie also lol i actually forgot about it until thinking hard on past movies.Use to watch that one often back in 95 around the same time id see Mississippi Burning aswell
Kausion
I aint where yall aint so dont thinknive heard of em except maybe 5 percenters unless im thinking of 1 percenters š¤ but i may have heard the name during a live discussion on Youtube?.They arent a similar organization or affiliated with the NOI are they,assume not.I may or may not heard about the G.As and have seen some stuff online regarding the recent attacks in NY subways and is it the national guard doing passenger checks? People were blaming Biden for opening the borders
Jae Amanda
Yea we have its dropping in a few. A little hint⦠we loved it and also have a short part at the end where we read about the controversy
Kausion
Idk if yall have watched The Blind Side already but aside from the BS regarding the movie and the fact its another "white savior" lol i previously mentioned in comments Sandra Bullock winning an oscar for her role.I myself like how well she played her role in TBS shes quite funny in her comedy roles too
Gary Best
Another thing that movie has a lot of well known actors and actresses donāt know why I never heard of it before
Gary Best
You already bro yea I wonder the same thing too I feel the closest thing to the black panthers we have now are 5 percenters/God body idk where you from but in NY they are an African American nationalist group, the leader Clearance 13X who was an understudy of Malcolm X. He started the group after getting kicked out the temple for preaching that the Black Man is God they are still around but not as big as they was in the 80s-90s. Another group are the Guardian Angels they are a group that protected the NY subways another group you donāt hear much about anymore but recently resurfaced after all the killings and madness thatās been going on the subways in the past few months, both groups spread out worldwide. But honestly nobody is willing to die for this shit and itās hard to unite black ppl now in days everybody want to do they own thing.
Kausion
Agree we need strong black leaders in this world for the youth and for the people but not only black, in all indigenous cultures.Seems we dont have any revolutionary type leaders nowadays or very few atleast not in the mainstream,not like it use to be.Wondering if its all part of their plan to keep we the people down and to prevent from rising up,they fear a global revolution imo and always have.Judas & The Black Messiah sl& Panther seem to be identical for obvious reasons or atleast similar.Thank you for checking that out bro š¤š¤š lol
Kausion
Yes "Glory" forgot about that one 𤦠cant speak for Gary so well have to wait for his response lol
Jeffery Lewis
Anything with Daniel Kaluuya has my vote. Even though I missed the poll š
Jae Amanda
Ya wouldnāt add Glory to that list?
Gary Best
Just got finished watching Panther it was good it was also interesting learning about how they started and the things they went thru I always respected they movement and what they stood for š„š„
Kausion
Yall its basically the same story as "Panther"(1995) lol BlacKkKlansman is also a Spike Lee joint,producer Jordan Peele all em are good movies.We should have done all of these BH related movies throughout the month lol "Panther" is a low budget film but suggested it for its actors,actresses story and the fact it seems to be a lesser known or forgotten film
Kausion
Feel you on the "tv movie" part lol thanks for checking it out
Kangdarius
I watched this today since u brought it up and I nvr seen it. It was ok. Story was kinda all over the place and the budget definitely showed. A lot of good black actors in it but it felt like a tv movie. Which Iām kinda used to with Mario van peeples and his pops. Think it shouldāve been shorter as well. Would love for someone to remake it.
Lyniss Barnes
Yessss I love late night post š„° give me some time to get a snack and chill
Kausion
Again,these polls dont do some of us any favors.Almost all polls ends badly for me personally š movies id like to see or see sooner rather than later never or rarely get chosen which is why i gave up on suggestion polls
Kausion
Yeah man agree šÆ my exact thoughts too i also thought "Malcolm X" were like the only BH movie that were done from what i recall.Should have did a majority of these in the poll aswell as a few others(Mississippi Burning,Rosa Parks,BlacKkKlansman,One Night In Miami)etc and left thee unrelated for later.One of if not my top pick for BHM would have been Panther.All of these & more would have been great for BHM but you right,still a possibility of checkin em out in future
Jae Amanda
Reaction dropping within the next hour family! Late night vibe ššæ
Jae Amanda
Now you got me interested we mess with Jordan peele films ode and his spin on the twilight zone
RG
Yall sleeping on Judas. Itās a really entertaining movie about how the black panther was infiltrated. But with an almost Jordan Peele vibe
Lique Rhone
They way the great debaters donāt have 100+ votes is insane to me
Gary Best
I think we should have got more movies like the ones thatās on this poll thru out the month because if you look back we only got 1 and that was Malcolm X, the rest were just mainly all black cast and weāll get those kind of movies regardless just becuz of the group we have in the channel, but that doesnāt mean we wonāt get the movies we wanted to see in the future.
Kausion
This why i hate polls a lot of em vote for particular movies over others id personally prefer to watch.TGD were my top 3 along with Rosewood.Atleast HF's made it and its positive BH rather than negative.Think another BH movie should have taken the spot of DTRT & had checked that out another time.There are many great BH movies that we should really have done an entire month of em,other(unrelated movies) can wait lol Theyll probably check out TGD anyways though
Kausion
That would make sense if speaking to them directly which, we sometimes are not,we are conversing and discussing the movie with other members here who've seen the movie.Its an A&B conversation, if i were speaking to them directly i would @ them or specifically say their names but again,i hear what you saying,have edited that comment in case they were to read it
Quenna Monroe
The FACT is that it is a FICTIONAL story based on several real life events. The moviesā location, the characters & the plot were all made up. We can flip & twist ANY black movie into being black history with your logic.
GG
Yeah I get where you coming from, the movies you mentioned that you consider Black history show serious sacrifices our elders made during crazier times in this country
Kausion
š i do understand why people dislike it,it can be annoying but "Things are gonna heat up" š¤£š¤¦
Pdawg662
@Kasion š¤£š¤£š¤£ Somebody on here got mad at me cause midway through the wire season 3 I said things are finna heat upš„š„
Kausion
Taking shots i see lol quotes are not an entire movie and can also give insight as to what the movie is about or how good a movie might be but i do see your point.Its similar to telling first time viewers whats happening next during a movie whilst watching like šš¤¦š¤š
Kausion
Yes true,im not saying hood movies cant be considered BH im saying if you consider DTRT as BH than youd have to add all thee others such as BNTH,M2S etc but you right DTRT depicts racial tensions in the hood where as BNTH & Menace dont but would still class DTRT as more "Hood" than BH if getting specific especially when there are many others that could have tajen its place such as "Rosewood" "Amistad" "Panther" etc
Jackie
GG
Yeahā¦Boyz in the Hood gave more voice to Black communities in Cali, talked about gentrification at a time where it wasnāt popular, was one of the first films to showcase the dangers of gang life in the 90s and is also preserved at the library of congressā¦.Menace to society followed suit (Charles S Dutton character!) and helped launch the careers of many Black actors/actresses that we see⦠All hood movies donāt have a message thatās being taught to the Black community BUT we canāt deny those that do Why canāt movies located in the hood be Black History movies? These movies literally gave voices to the voiceless and Black history movies shouldnāt be limited to movies based on events that happened before 1960. The āhood moviesā are still a part of our history and what was going on at the time. And I wouldnāt put do the right thing at the same level as boyz in the hood and menace to societyā¦the two latter movies mainly showcased gang life, not mainly racism.
Kausion
In that case "Menace To Society" "Boyz N Tha Hood" etc are BH movies.This is why i said DTRT imo is more a hood movie than actual BH such as "Malcolm X" "Hidden Figures" "Rosewood" "Mississippi Burning" etc are
Kausion
"Blood Diamond" could also be a part of BHM ,good movie
GG
Sighā¦itās your opinion to not like it, but itās a fact that itās Black history. Thatās all.
Kausion
Thank you! Haha havent seen anyone suggest it so had hoped BHM would be the perfect time for them to check it out.Use to watch it often back in 95
Quenna Monroe
Youāre saying Iām entitled to my opinion but youāre still trying to force yours on me š I still think itās the LEAST historical of the choices listed. It didnāt win anyway. If they do watch it, Iāll skip it like Iāve done others in the past but I hope yāall enjoy it.
GG
Nah definitely you are entitled to your opinion, period. The thing is, we have to be careful with the misinformation of saying movies like this one arenāt Black History. Not only for other races to see but for oursevles to understand as well. It factually and objectively is a black history film (based on the facts listed above).
Quenna Monroe
Iām not arguing. I commented MY OPINION just like everybody else. I donāt know why Iām having to defend/debate how I feel.
Gary Best
You right but these are facts and we not here to argue especially amongst ourselves as black people we should be uplifting and teaching each other āš¾š¤
Zora Green
I wish the great debators got more votes! Not many people react and itās a great film with a great cast
Reggie Riobe
THE blind side shouldnāt be watched anyway⦠they took the story to a wrong direction. The real life Character Michael oah.. denied a lot of things that happened in that movie
Quenna Monroe
Yāall are entitled to your opinions & Iām entitled to mine.
Gary Best
It was also inspired by the 1986 Howard Beach incident
Lyniss Barnes
Same exactly ā¤ļø plus they acted they butt off in this movie
Nikki
We donāt lose watching any of these films for the last day of Black history month.
Nikki
And how we impacted the culture around us. The film is important to film making in general. Itās studied in art schools. Itās inspired a wide range of films, not just from Black American film makers.
Nikki
It wasnāt the first but itās renown for pushing modern Black cinema & telling our stories in a way much different than had been done before. Stylistically the cinematography is also important to film making in general, not just Black movies. Making it a historical maker in film.
Nikki
Agreed
Gary Best
I think when we think about Black History we only think about major events but we got to remember Black History is everything Black.
ĆïäĆĆølƮƧ
Panther not only was that movie but the soundtrack holy fuck we used to play that all day!!
Quenna Monroe
Iām sure all of those things are true for movies BEFORE Do The Right Thing. It wasnāt the FIRST. Itās not Black history. We can agree to disagree āŗļø
Nikki
Iāve been nominating a Soldierās Story every time. But I think most patrons are young and simply donāt know the movie.
Nikki
Do the Right Thing itself - as a movie - IS Black history. It was inducted into the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress. Itās a cultural significant landmark film that paved the way in modern Black cinema. Remember they had to fight to get it in the movie theaters.
Smitty Benzo
Do the right thing by voting for "Do The Right Thing".
Gary Best
Just because February is over donāt mean we have to stop celebrating BH so imma check it out for sure
Kangdarius
I voted hidden figures. Just think the month should end on a happier note. Plus that history is dope. Iām just glad the white woman movie aināt getting watched in this month lol
B.Laster
That was definitely my vote
Quenna Monroe
Google calls it fictional but based on real events but I get what youāre saying too
GG
With all due respect, the movie is not fictionš (if you look up the real story, itāll show you, but I donāt wanna say it and spoil it) I get what you saying thošŖšæ
Quenna Monroe
Thatās your opinion & I respect it. I didnāt think it was that good. Itās ok but I like other Spike Lee movies better. I just think there are lots of important BLACK HISTORY stories that actually happened that should be told before a fictional one. A wall in a pizzeria is not at the top of the list, IMO.
Kausion
šthis what im saying i hate polls majority of the time the picks i personally would like to see dont get votes š¤ lol not š©ing on DTRT either bro just wouldnt be my top choice @tm,any other time definitely lol if you aint seen "Panther"(1995)check out the trailer on Youtube lmk what you think.
Kausion
"Mississippi Burning" is definitely BH would have been good to watch in memory of Gene Hackman who literally just passed away
Kausion
This why i hate polls, two of the top choices "TGD's" "Rosewood" arent even a top 3 based off of current votes š lol
Gary Best
We knew Hidden Figures was going to do numbers š but I forgot I seen Judahs and the Black Messiah and that movie is š„š„ and itās doin bad on the poll
GG
But it is based on true things that happened when the movie came out and thatās happening til this day! Ion know, I think a movie doesnāt have to be based on an exact sequence of events in order to be Black history āšæ all movies on the poll are good tho
Kausion
#1 personal choice "Panther"(1995) From the poll definitely "The Great Debaters" "Rosewood" "Hidden Figures" "Judahs & The Black Messiah" DTRT is cool but imo is more a hood movie than black history.Assuming the majority of the picks for Hidden Figures were from the women? š¤£
Star
Hidden figures!!
Quenna Monroe
All of these are based on true stories EXCEPT Do The Right Thing. Itās literally NOT Black History š©š
GG
Do the right thing would be a great ending to Bhm but the ppl want what they want igš
M Salam
I hope Do the Right Thing wins. Super classic film.
Donte Sanders
A Soldiers Story react would have been dope for Black History month, but overall BingeTies represented the culture for Black History month.
InsurgeTech
Nice poll! I picked them ALL!
k rusch
What happened to ray from months ago, thatās one of the best movies out! It was second or third on the polls?? lol
AIRS
LOL bruh
Reggie Riobe
Not gonna hold you.. I voted for both.. rooting that they both do well and they both get watched šŖš¾
AIRS
Yo, Amistad would have been FIRE! It's a must watch for them at some point (hope they read this)
Joe Crammond
would love to see you reacting to Wednesday Series 1 and Series 2 when it comes out later this year
AIRS
Voted for Rosewood because of that. It's powerful and should be watched
AIRS
Thanks for adding a deadline!
Leroy786
Yahl gotta watch django againšš
Gary Best
Yea thatās understandable I do the same
Mr. B
Thanks for doing this poll.
Reggie Riobe
Do the right thing is going to winā¦. But Rosewood 1997.. is a strong movie but a very tough watch⦠A true unfortunate story taken place in the south
Cayden
Anytime! I don't always vote on polls if there's movies I'm not familiar with or like.
Gary Best

Cayden
Gotcha! šš¾
Gary Best
Vote Do the Right Thing
Cayden
I haven't seen any of these, but I wouldn't mind voting for someone else lol.
Rodman
Yall HAVE to do Amistad (1997) Omg that movie is soooo ground breaking and will really hit you emotionally like youāve never been hit before and based on REAL events šÆšÆšÆAnother great film with Morgan Freeman starring in it to close out Black History Month
Ebon'e Nicole
š¤š¾ for great debaters
james moore
Do the right thing!
Jae Amanda
