The so-called "Conscious Black Community" is a farce -- populated by brainwashed women who are financially supporting shiftless, abusive, women-haters. I see those so-called Black Hebrew Israelites yelling and making a spectacle of themselves all over NYC (they've even set-up in Times Square and I don't why the Mayor has allowed that). They spew hatred, pseudo-history and pseudo-science. They try to argue and shout-down anyone who challenges them on their views or even those who just want to ignore them and walk past them. Most of those guys don't work, they have several "wives" (non of them legally wed) who do everything for them, including giving them money. There's a lot of abuse - including child abuse and incest - that occurs and no one reports it. They live in cult-like communities and prey on those who can't think for themselves.

Not all Hebrew Isrealites are like that and we dont live in cult like communities. Everything you just said can be applied to any religion. Do some research and speak on facts not on what you say you saw a few idiots do. Your hatred for black men is sickening. Your emotions are making you look bitter. Just as bitter at the person who wrote is article is with the the film maker. From a black man to you. We love you and Im sorry that someone hurt you.

Darling, I am not bitter. I am free - a free thinker and free of some lecherous stank man sucking my money, abusing my kids, degrading me as a woman. See you can't convince me of nothing. I know all about you and your community. You all are vile and disgusting. I see you and your black militia cohorts have tried to take over this blog. Talking about the "Black Man is God" - yet the black men in your community are bums and many of them engage in sex rituals with other men. See that's what y'all on't want others to know. You're a sick bunch and any intelligent, free-thinking woman would do well to steer clear of this foolishness.

That's how you feel about Men in general. Don't try to disguise it as how you feel about bad men or Israelites. You just have a horrible view of men and probably black men in particular.

No sweet, I have a man. A great man! Who loves me and respects me and doesn't expect me to be his slave. An educated man (really educated, not mis-educated, pseudo-educated) who works and who's secure and doesn't spend his days and nights thinking-up conspiracy theories to account for his inadequacies. Like, I said, I know all about the "conscious" community. Y'all can't tell me nothing!

i heard that,sista!

I gurantee tht u dont have a good man because if you had a good man u wouldnt even bother to respond to the comments on this page who are you trying to convince..yourself probaly...smh

You don't know a thing and you are nothing more than a trolling hood rat. Stop deflecting positive movement and stop hating your self.

He is not a man. He is a probably a puppet. He touched on that weak man that does everything the woman says also.

Thank you for proving you dont know what youre talking about.

"I see you and your black militia cohorts have tried to take over this blog."

LOL it's like Tariq flashed the Batman signal in the sky, except it was a pimp cup & a whip, and his legion of doom descended upon us to try and put us black and brown women in our place, right under their collective thumb...

He was like "Go, go my brothers to MN and put these evil black fallen angels in line! They have been educated and emancipated and now they know better-they are expressing and thinking for themselves, they are dating and marrying men who do not look like us and dressing and doing their hair however they want to...yes, we have thrown them by the way side since the days that master came into our cabins and raped them right in front of us, ripped our children from their hand while we chose to look down at the ground, and yes we seldom included them in our fight for Civil Rights and they were welcomed into the Women's Rights Revolution, and perhaps we continue to mentally break them down through our support of loose women and degrading music and MAYBE we have put unrealistic standards of beauty on them due to our adherence to the white male ideal of beauty...but still, they cannot live without us! So we must join together through our comments & thumbs up to bring our evil sisters back to us...aMEN!!!"

The womens revolution? When has a white feminist stood up for black women? I gotta tell u I NEVER seen it. OH I'm sorry I seen white women fight for the rights for poor black women to get abortions. Sooo hey I guess that sisterhood.

Eleanor Roosevelt stood up for a black woman. Research that, you ignorant fool.

Is it really that bad that you have to dug up somebody who died in 1962? You're just looking for a wonder woman huh? Ok let's talk about Eleanor Roosevelt, did u know she was good friends with eugenics Mary Harriman who's brother was FDR's ambassador to The Soviet Union? Ya know it's always the same thing with these people, if your dumba$$ bother to research their hidden agenda.

Try to get your pea brain on track and tell me in 2013 what white feminist is fighting for black women rights, other than the right to lay on abortion tables?

Black feminism isn't about white women. It is about the empowerment of black women. White women's actions are irrelevant to this discussion. Black women have been a part of the female liberation movement for as long as its been around and they have always had their own agenda separate from white women. Do some reading please maybe Patricia Collins or Audrey Lorde or Evelyn Higganbotham so you can be educated on black feminism before you open your mouth.

I love how no one replied to this sensible and accurate post; instead they went on spewing ignorance and divisiveness like the uneducated fools they are.

its the only name you have after 600 years of slavery

eleanor roosevelt is a feminist and she only did that to gain the opinion of black women.

Thank You!! They are just using your Blk A**es to Futher their agenda tht doesnt involve u wake the f**k up sistas!!...smh

And she (Margaret Sanger)was outwardly racist.

...........

you are dumb , your whats wrong with todays black women and women in general , still grouping the problem.

I guess your momma, aunts (if you have any), and sisters (if you have any), are the problem. The men in your family, including yourself, are perfect. See how generalizations work?

So that's why ABC is doing specials on black women saying that your not getting married. Man your talking us bad in the black community but you women are not getting a past as well. You women are still have kids by ten different guys, living off of child support and welfare. your girls have secrets as well so that doesn't make you better then your counterparts.

Then two theirs alot of gay females walking about her ask well. your doing more sexual rituals then black dudes.

If the white feminist had their way with you girls they would have made you tie your tubes and make you A sexual women about now.

from your reply you sound hella bitter

The fact that you start your rely with "Darling", shows you are in fact bitter. Psychology 101.

Oh, and btw, FORGET YOU and the rest of your "Black Taliban" friends: Keep your rhetoric and vile, disgusting comments. You are a sick bunch!

Genesis 3:16 To the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; You will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you., And he will rule over you." 17Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life.
1 Timothy 2:11-12 Women must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise the authority of a man, but to remain quiet.

SCRIPTURE DOES NOT LIE

Really? You're gonna quote scripture? Is Christianity even an AFRICAN based religion? Who's to say that the bible wasn't created by a misogynist? Smh..black people and their religion, man..I'm telling you.

I don't understand how anything that you just referenced has anything to do with Michelle Alexander, Dr. Claude Anderson, Runoko Rashidi, KRS-1, Tony Browder, Professor James Small and others.

Hebrew Israelites? This is about as bad as the new Rush Limbaugh rant, where he declares Jamie Foxx and Samuel Jackson as "activist who are trying to convince the Black community that they are still slaves." One thing has nothing to do with the other.

I'll admit, I had no clue who Tariq Nasheed was prior to seeing Hidden Colors 1 & 2 but regardless of what his shortcoming were, it didn't negate from most of the information presented in both films. I later found out what Mr. Nasheed was all about and although I'm not "bout that life" it doesn't take away from the films information and I don't think that it is fair for the writer and some of the folk that have posted to categorize all that appear in the film as the same. None of the participants in these films can or should be compared to corner Hebrew Israelites.

Runoko Rashidi, whom I know personally has been to over 100 countries and has lectured in at least 80 of them. Are you really going to compare someone of this stature to a non-working, corner dwelling, Hebrew Israelite? Michelle Alexander a "mis-guided" scholar. The same "woman" who is responsible for publishing one of the most comprehensive and intellectual looks at the prison industrial complex in the United States?

smh...

Thank you brother !!! Well said ....

I'm late, your my hero sir.

Forget about this subjective "article". What has the "writer" done to advance Black People?

The author of the article seems like she is one of those that can't think for herself.

By your definition, they are no different than the tea party.

i agree.

Hateful assumptive and generalized comment.

Thank you for pointing this out because I was seriously considering watching this one and the first one as well but I refuse to support anyone like Tariq!

"in there lies the problem with black people....we refuse to think for ourselves. "

How ironic.You truly believe by supporting this man you are "thinking for yourself"?

"some women tend to toss shade at the brotha because he's very frank and doesn't pander or sugarcoat. "

You mean being a misogynist, as the author stated.

So yo u let one person negative review stop you from watching something you wanted to see? What about the tons of positive reviews the films have gotten? Free your mind and think for yourself.

@SMH & @facebook-1221328556...thank you both for your concerns but I know exactly who this man is, I did not feel the need to go into detail as to why I will not support his work, but I will not PERIOD...feel & think what you want and I will do the same

You know some Objective Thinkers? Tell them to come read this article then...

yeah come read this article so they can be as dumb founded as you
