Movies and TV

1. The Creole Creole case - Wikipedia
This was a successful slave revolt. Every time they have a slave revolt movie, it doesn't end well. This one did. A ship The Creole, heading from Richmond, Virginia to New Orleans in 1841 had a mutiny and they went to free Bahamas where they got their freedom. Shockingly a handful of slaves refused to leave the ship and stayed to go back to slavery.

2. The Maroons of Jamaica Jamaican Maroons - Wikipedia
They escaped slavery and went into the dense Jamaican hills and the British couldn't get them out. They lived as freemen.

3. Moor conquest of Spain Moors - Wikipedia
I would like to see this on the scale in production quality the same as Vikings, Game of Thrones, etc .

4. The Mau Mau rebellion Mau Mau rebellion - Wikipedia
This was a brutal rebellion by Kenyans to end colonialism from the British. There were all kinds of torture and stuff, about 8 years from 1952 to 1960 with Kenya getting independence in 1963. As a sidenote, its amazing how much Kenyans kiss British ass now considering how they were brutalized by the British during the rebellion. Kenyan women are some of the biggest bed wenches I've ever seen when I visited Nairobi. Surprised me. The men are bed bucks as well in a beach city called Mombasa when fat, old British women and German women come there to get young Kenyan men and boys. Anyway, I'd like to see the rebellion in a mini series or something. The Kenyans got it in.

5. Any number of battles won by black soldiers in the Civil War.

The Moorish conquest would be awesome but also their origin story. I would love to see that. Also one on the Mali Empire and how it gave rise to Mansa Musa.

How about a movie about Sgt. William Carney? The dude was the first African American to get a Medal of Honor. He was born into slavery but became very patriotic for the country in spite of that. He nearly lost his life and refused to let the American flag touch the ground. If ever there was a military hero worth having his story told, I think it would be William. I think it would be a good one for any black men or women who have served or are currently serving in the military. I only know about him because my uncle is into war stories like this.

It needs to be told, before the Jewish Holocaust, Africa was the place to practice ...
