Snoop’s comment came up a few hours prior to the series’ two-hour finale.

Earlier this week, Snoop dished out his problem with movies and television shows like “Roots” focusing on historic black injustice.

T.I. recently defended the message behind his “Roots” series.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, T.I. said that works like Roots help embody the idea of historical justice. “The quest for truth should be a lifelong journey,” T.I. said. “From the time you’re born to the time you die, you’re supposed to be seeking knowledge and truth. This is a piece of it. This is a huge, huge chapter, so I think it’s incredibly important.” (Rolling Stone)

  1. Roots was remade and released just before the election to dupe people into voting Democrat.  Maintaining racial disharmony has been the Democrats’ objective since the Kennedy and King assassinations.  Divide and conquer.  Obama and Hillary’s exploitation of Trayvon Martin, Hollywood propaganda, and Trump’s over-the-top racial comments are all designed to maintain and increase the power of the few over the many.  Bill Cosby’s persecution  is because of his desire to expose this manufactured racial divide.  Keep them thinking like victims and we’ll own them and the White House forever.  Trump and Clinton are both part of the same system, and this election is the most ridiculous dog and pony show in US History.  It’s sad that Snoop has been pressured into recanting, as Cosby will be.  I’m so happy to have terminal cancer.  I don’t envy my children.

  3. Maybe instead of reminding this generation of where they came from and where to go by showing more evil white people story’s. You should show the truth about the Atlantic slave trade and how European and African kings worked together and sold slaves. It’s all there in history to read up on. So remember your own people sold you for wealth in exchange. So blame your own people and stop feeding this white hate for blacks to the media. We’re all equal and every race has its trash.
