I feel like if Glenn Greenwald is deserving of a thread based on his twitter personality, so should Nasheed.

I agree, Jack Harlow should not have been allowed to have a bit that shows he's not gay. Messed up the whole video. His bit could have been set in solitary or something.

I think there’s some truth to what Tariq is saying even if he sometimes goes overboard with the conspiracies. Media execs would be less likely to green light a video of white dudes doing the same thing.

Nasheed is one of the most influential voices in the black community today.

Buck Breaking is a cultural phenomenon.

quote:

Buck Breaking is a movie recently released by Tariq Nasheed, a one time rapper known as K-Flex, and former pick-up artist who is now a documentary filmmaker. The movie is about the ahistorical practice of taming black men using gay sex, which Tariq posits was done systemically during colonial American times, and is continued today through LGBT culture today.

The support for historical Buck Breaking is pretty flimsy, Tariq uses one historical example, and then extrapolates that to create a mythology of butt sex for all of Europe. Basically, the argument is this: Europeans are “people of ice” and Africans are “people of sun”, and the ice people sought to subvert and dominate the sun people. This is why colonialism, slavery and things like manifest destiny came about, which is really rooted in a desire for gay sex. Yes, the film really says this.

The documentary then dives into the actual buck breaking in America, which is filled with pictures of it happening. A special note has to be said here about the illustrations, which have been circulating online. 1) They are drawn in a kind of cheap looking Tumblr/Deviant Art style 2) there are a lot of them and 3) they, uh, oddly accentuate certain “aspects” in strange ways considering this is an anti-LGBT film. Fetishistic would the right word.

After the first half which sets the historical foundation of buck breaking, the film moves to the present day with a discussion of current day gender politics, and here the film goes completely off the rails. It’s just disjointed talking heads talking about things in a schizophrenic manner. Here’s some highlights, which is honestly just scratching the surface, or this review would be 5000 words long.

— The Catholic Church has a monument of a obelisk from Egypt in St Peters square, signifying the jealousy over African phalluses. (I should mention that they believe Ancient Egypt was a Black civilization).

— Muslim civilizations were white and helped introduce gayness into Africa, which is why it appears today that there is homosexual behavior among pure African cultures.

— Things that are gay or make you gay include onions, Boy Scouts, the Catholic Church

— A really random bit about a slave owner turning someone into a human crab?

— Rap music isn’t popular in Japan, and Asians can’t dance. We are shown video footage as proof. (No, what I wrote won’t make any more sense in the context of the film. It comes and then just as quickly goes)

— Amazing quotes which frequently made me laugh hard: Here’s Judge Joe Brown: “Because we have so few men in the hood it's easy to condition them to negativity. The typical hood rat thug is a lesbian in a man's body. These lesbian hood rats are raised like girls.”

— Really odd stock footage choices, like super sci-fi footage of a scientist playing with holograms over dialogue that has nothing to do with what’s onscreen

Buck Breaking is a complex masterpiece, the last time I laughed this hard was when I discovered Neil Breen. The director has done 4 or 5 other films, if they are 1/2 as funny as this one, oh man, we are in for a treat.
