Who’s Watching American Maroon?
I watched 20 minutes when it came out the quality is amazing, Flex did his thing. There needs to be more sources it was too much “people say”, “someone says”, “people think” going on but I liked everything else.

It looks really really really good. I like it more than Buck Breaking.
Can't really have a historical documentary with a lot ofthat in it.
Will check it out eventually.
I agree and it was acceptable in the beginning because Hidden Colors was so new but you have to evolve. With a subject this controversial you have to come with the receipts and they didn't really do that. Tariq should have also went deep into each speaker's credentials so that we know understand why they are qualified to speak on the subjects. If you don't watch Sa Neter you won't know who anyone is and why they are speaking on the subjects.
I watched it and a lot of it was rehash if you’ve ever watched Sa Neter or anyone in that space. Some quick notes:
Pros:
I would like to see Tariq’s format evolve, it’s been the same since Hidden Colors 1 and it should grow to become more scholarly and definitive.
Pros:
- Professionally produced and looked great on a large TV.
- Great transitions and music.
- Backdrops/scenes behind the speakers were great.
- Costume design was great.
- The scenes between the speakers were poorly acted. There’s a scene in the beginning where a dude is hitting a tree with an axe that looks really cheesy. You can tell he doesn’t want to hit the tree and it looks strange.
- The movie kind of destroys the “we are not African” argument you hear from FBA proponents. Every time it talks about the original inhabitants it talks about them coming from Africa.
- Multiple speakers in the program referred to the Black people that were here previously by different names. I feel that it makes it easy to cast doubt on the information. If those people were here what did they call themselves? We heard every name from every European power but how they self identified.
- Not enough sources and no credentials on the speakers. If you don’t know who red and blue pill is you won’t know why their opinion should matter.
I would like to see Tariq’s format evolve, it’s been the same since Hidden Colors 1 and it should grow to become more scholarly and definitive.
Looking forward to checking it out! Thanks so much for the reviews guys
What did you think?4 friends from North Carolina drove right into the middle of gang War between different factions of the Gulf cartel in Matomoros, Mexico. For 4 days they were tortured with two of them ultimately being murdered by the gang. Reports are saying that this was a case of mistaken identity by the gang members. According to reports,the cartel believed the 4 tourists were rival drug dealers. Black Americans need to stay out of Latin America. They have no rules of engagement and bad tempers. Go on vacation to a Black American cultural mecca & circulate Black dollars.
A cartel's mistake may explain kidnappings in Mexico
A theory that the kidnapping of four Americans was a case of mistaken identity gains strength.www.bbc.com

I'm skipping this then. If you're not bringing anything new to the game ,then your brand will die. Tariq is great at galvanizing his base which is FBA. Let's be real here,FBA is similar to Beyonce's Beyhive or Rihanna's Navy. Tariq said something about doing a Hip-Hop history documentary next, I'm concerned the information will come from conjecture & not facts. On a side note, the Hidden History Museum is really a club for Black Americans. I donated to the museum when Tariq said everyone would get their names on the wall. What wall was he talking about because there's no room for that at the Hidden History Museum? I really feel like I got played for $100 bucks. For reference I donated to every Hidden color after 2. The charisma has warn off for me. I wish him luck though. It's like investing in a company but never seeing a return other than speaking.

I'm going to be in a cartoon as a hater. I never said I didn't like Tariq, I've been listening to him since Ustream & Mac Lessons. Tariq's target audience are young people. I'm not young & I see thee play. He's doing great work & Black business. I can never be canceled because the internet is not real.

I need
It definitely seems as if his audience is young people. I don't see too many old Black folks bringing his name up.
What got me about the whole thing is Kaba Kamene and James Small are saying that the American Maroons came from Africa through out the entire thing. It kind of went against everything he’s been saying online and on Twitter.

Of course they are. There wasn’t a source in this shit to be found. Just 3 hours of people talking.
