It is not meant to breed any feelings of hate or contempt, but simply to help us realize that we must free ourselves as a people from any entity that seeks our demise. I think it is important to realize that the aim of this documentary is to inspire Afrikan/Black people globally to aspire for a unified understanding of who we are as black/Afrikan people and what we need to do to regain our glory as a great people and indeed as an important part of this family that is humanity. And that in looking at other nations throughout the world we should realize that it is important that we decide on a history that is valid for us and educate our children with that history, educate them about our greatness and immense contribution to the world, that we start organizing ourselves in such a way as to keep our wealth within our communities, that we build media houses/systems that will enable us to communicate information to our people and construct ways to protect ourselves from any further oppression that might be lurking.
This trilogy covers a lot more, but most importantly offers solutions to black/Afrikan people to realise that things like group dynamics in business and organizing of our communities is vital. The fact that most if not all Afrikan countries that where colonised by white/European countries and also blacks/Afrikans in the diaspora, are still under race-based oppression be it economically via instruments of western government, media, private corporations (to name a few) and of course through the falsification of historical facts about Afrika(ns) be it about spiritualty/religion or important parts of world history that prove that Afrikans have indeed been major players in the civilization of mankind and world travel/presence long before Europeans.
And for that to be done it has to be identified, understood for what it truly is and addressed accordingly.
HIDDEN COLORS 3 TRAILEE SKIN
What i have found recently is that some people tend to be uncomfortable when they read or hear about the term “white supremacy”, fact is that the current state of institutionalized and in some cases subtle white supremacy (at the expense of dark skin peoples) that black/Afrikan people (whether in Afrika or the diaspora) have to deal with on a daily basis can only be truly felt by black/Afrikan people – thus i don’t expect any other person to empathize or understand its seriousness and the need for black/Afrikan people to be free of it. This docie-trilogy touches on Afrikan antiquity, the presence of Afrika in the world, aspects of the Afrikan holocaust and the current position of blacks/Afrikans in the contemporary world and their struggle against racist oppression especially white supremacy. Sadly for me, Hidden Colours 4 just didn't flow together very well.A brilliant and must see especially for all black/Afrikan people on this planet in my opinion. Racism and white supremacy will probably ALWAYS be a thing. He's well informed, articulate and passionate about exposing White Supremacy which is still an evil force in contemporary society. I frequently watch Tariq Nasheed on YouTube and unlike my sisters, I like him a lot. I often found myself saying 'eh?' The way the segments jumped around from past to present without any coherent link or sometimes context, was confusing. It was way too long and would have benefited from a narrator and tighter editing. Not the CONTENT itself, I'm referring to the way it was structured and how the segments were edited together. Actually it was one of the worst I've ever seen. I love African history so this should have worked for me. Documentaries by black scholars are my favourite thing and I've watched many. As an African woman who was born and raised in Edinburgh, but now live in London, I'm enthusiastic about acquiring more and more knowledge about ANYTHING black, especially POSITIVE information. There was lots of stimulating and interesting discoveries but the talking heads and melodramatic music with the underlying (black people are good and white people are bad) subtext got annoying after a while. Unfortunately, the format didn't work for me. I really wanted to enjoy this documentary as it was highly recommended.
