Now, Snoop Dogg has yet another blunt opinion to express. Taking to Instagram, Snoop Dogg took part in a video where shared the following opinion regarding the modern rejuvenation of the Roots series:

“No disrespect, but I can’t watch no motherfucking more black movies where niggas get dogged down… I don’t understand America, they just wanna keep showing the abuse that we took hundreds and hundreds of years ago, but guess what? We’re taking the same abuse. Think about that part. When are y’all gonna make a motherfucking series about the success that black folks (are) having?”

He also called for individuals to, “create our own shit based on today, how we live and how we inspire people today.” You can check out the full clip below.
