- The Other Video got blocked so I kept only the scenes that best demonstrates how the show talks about black people's experience particularly in the United States.
I have many more video ideas and TH-cam content planed. My channel is not monetized yet. Here's my amazon Wishlist if you're able to contribute towards the equipment I need to make higher quality content.

THE BEAUTY OF TRUTH!!!!❤🎉😊 Peace & Blessings for Sharing!!❤
I love the monologues from Anansi so raw and real
The old ways will always be our true salvation
That's not good enough.
Not enough. It hasn't helped them yet
@@Buttergirla I didn't imply "the old ways" help people. It didn't help my ancestors not become slaves. The old ways didn't protect Emmett Till from being lynched. The old ways are not preventing sex trafficking of children all over the world from continuing to happen. If the old ways is just root working or believing in God, that shit is certainly useless.

Islam and Christianity hasn’t done much better if anything at all. I don’t put ALL my faith into anything external as religion as I acknowledge that most of the inner work needs to be done by me. In my opinion, the old ways still can be of value if only as connection to our ancestors and to point you in the right direction. I draw sustenance from them as well as it helps complete me as that part was a missing part of me. That’s just me
@@Daron7181 you're saying a lot of stuff with no tangible evidence of what you're saying. If Christianity or whooping your disobedient children or eating chitterlings or practicing voodoo and Yoruba/orisha magic is some form of connection to my ancestors,... y'all can keep all of that mess.
I revere and admire my ancestors for their strength and perseverance and their ability to survive the unsurvivable. But I don't need a lot of what they had, and that's the honest truth. Those people did what they could with utterly unlivable terrible circumstances.
We are not on the plantation anymore. We are a good ways away from that time period and them plantations.
They chose to believe in God to give them a source of comfort while they lived within physical enslavement. Us keeping God in our lives when he couldn't somehow liberate our ancestors, is us staying in mental slavery.
We already have a lot of our ancestors in us, through genetic memory. But not all of the old ways are things to be held on to and regarded in the future. Black people would benefit more from having an atheist mind state while maintaining the community and comradery that the black church promotes. We don't gotta get together and sing songs to a god that doesn't exist, but we should take care of each other and and stabilize our communities so that our descendants can prosper.
Religion makes black people expect God to do what we all should be doing for ourselves and each other. An invisible imaginary savior that you were given through literal slavery, that imaginary creature is supposed to fix everything and save you. That breeds laziness and narcissism and insanity/delusion in our community. We need to grow up, which means moving away from some of the traditions that are not profitable for us as a whole and individually.
Why you thinks this show ain't on the air no more cuz the brotha was taking over ahah
this show spoke too much truth, touched to many buttons, referenced too many _actually though provoking things_
4:50, that accent change was surprising
A god should provide more than comfort.
I know two of these people are Anasazi and Anubus, who is the female supposed to be?
A sex goddess named Bilquis. Probably a Yoruba or orisha God, she definitely of African origin. She one of the more obscure gods in real life compared to the popular ones like Odin and Anansi and Jesus
@@RacCkhnshe’s in the Bible dawg
@RanMaru144 the bible has her as the queen of Sheba visiting Solomon to discuss how wise he is, not a goddess from Africa.
For generations our ancestors have prayed with no relief to the god they gave us. This should tell Black people something 🤔
*maybe the "spirit" you feel in church when we are praising has more to do with US... and NOT their God.
I have been saying that all my life but I got look like I am crazy so yeah
Could this be someone with the same opinion as me 😊
What was the name of this song
Let me research those 2 beautiful sistas! 😋
I see no progress
I mean this god be spitting facts
It was such a smart decision to tune this series to the black experience by casting the protagonist as a brother.
Now they have a canceled series in their hands. Seems like 13% of the population doesn’t do 52% of the watching
"13% of the population" has supported everyone else and have watched shows without a single character being Black since the beginningof television. Others could have let go of their selfish, self-centred ways and done the same. 🤷🏿♀️
According to Neil Gaiman Shadow was always Black
@@jeanine3239have they though? I've seen many a Black people saying The Lord of the Rings is a show only White people enjoy. I bet less than 1% of the fandom of the movies is black.
Oh. Half-black, half Norwegian, I see here in the fandom site. Ok, I'll give it a second try.
Jesus is king!!!
For who?
Yall dont let a damned tv deter you away from your creator 🙄its just a show
The same creator that did nothing while our ancestors were lynched and raped and beaten and whipped and tortured and abused and forced to financially stimulate the economy of this country in perpetuity. Our ancestors were fine in Africa, if God is real and wanted to help black people he could have given us his word and knowledge while we were in Africa, but instead our ancestors were forced to believe in a slave religion during slavery. Christianity is still a tool used today to keep people stupid and passive and indoctrinated, while the most vile and evil among us horde all the wealth and information and resources and land and true medicines and scientific access. We are not going to see God do for us what he didn't do for our ancestors. Jesus isn't coming back to save us from a matrix of circumstances his goofy ass father created just for his own self satisfaction. God created evil, and his plan is to let it persist and torment the world until he feels like judging everyone and fixing everything and sending sinners to hell? Christianity is stupid, it makes regular people believe that a moral God will make your life a nightmare because there's no other way you can really know how good he is. He has to screw you over first for you to deserve his love and a spot in heaven.
Black people would be smart to abandon the idea that God is some loving kindhearted helpful creator. It's all a delusion, we are on our own. If there is a God, it's not a moral protector, it's a lazy heartless maniac that doesn't have the mental acuity to be responsible for an entire universe.
Ur creator haven’t led u to salvation
Just a show... a mixture between historical facts and fictional names of the newer deities, because a lot of the divine bloodlines have been lost due to the combination of unrecorded data of enslaved people, mixing of the bloodlines, mass graveyard filling, etc...
All the Egyptian gods are ( African) gods. And When I hear mother nature, I always think of a big fat Nigerian woman In the colorful traditional Nigerian dress, and turban. Is mother nature an African god or a spirit?
