(Mostly) Pure, Unfiltered Insanity
tfitzhunna29 September 2021
Although there was some legitimate information on horrifying historical practices in the documentary it's worthless. The few factual elements are dispersed throughout an ocean of lies, conspiracy theorism, metaphysical mumbo-jumbo and overt bigotry. For the record:
-The "feminization of men" (aka gender roles being loosened) is not at all exclusive to black men
-White men are not all secretly gay
-Treating gay and trans people better is not a conspiracy to emasculate black men
-Feminism is not a conspiracy to emasculate black men
-Black people's hair does not contain spiritual African energy
-Pedophilia is not being normalized and has nothing to do with homosexuality
-White men are capable of enjoying sex with women, know how to have *consensual* sex. Sex with women is not a "necessary evil" to continue the white race, it's actually pretty chill.
In conclusion I highly recommend this movie if you want a laugh. Tariq and his stooges make the exact same arguments as neo-Nazis except with a few words switched around and somehow it makes even less sense. If you want an informative documentary on the issues facing the black community this ain't it.

Fetish Derived, Substance Deprived
electronmove21 March 2022
While fetish material can give quite the inspiration for cult classic material such as 1975's 'Mandingo' or even impressively executed masterworks such as Dracula, the director here tries to shamelessly and blatantly pawn off his fetish as a historical fact, but becomes a historical farce with zero evidence to show for any of it.
Tariq sure was busy

Tariq sure was busy in May creating all those accounts to give this "documentary" a 10. Haha, all of them, literally all of them, IMDB member since May.
Other than that wth is this thing? A bunch of insecure guys trying to pose? Trying to make themselves look important? Or something? I don't know but it is wonderful comedy though!
If you're looking for a funny movie, give this a try. If you're looking for factual information, stay very far away from this.

Fake news

There's a lot to unpack with these memes in particular. The "gay white slaveowners" is interesting. It actually doesn't make zero sense. Existing proudly as gay in antebellum America? Unheard of & unrealistic. Man on man sex was illegal during antebellum America. Even the most powerful men during those times couldn't exist being found to have had sex with other men. So if sexual abuse against men by men was going down, it was happening in secret & not out in the open. So where exactly would anyone be gathering this information from without any documents supporting this? During antebellum America those men simply would not have identified as gay. The concept would have had no meaning to them in the same way it does today.
It's very similar to how men in prison are victims of other men. Simply because it's not as black & white as men being gay is. I'm sure there are gay men in prison. But there are also men in prison who prey on others who are more vulnerable & men they can have control over. It's the dynamics here that are in place. With how rape is about control & power. It's not about the stereotypical homophobic strong booty warrior" taking a man's "manhood".
It's men who are victims of other men.
The main thing that strikes me about these memes is the emphasis on gayness. The creators of these memes are more focused on the slaveowners being gay than the awful things they've done to enslaved people. These memes have been constructed & disseminated with homophobic thinking & intentions. It also doesn't help that the myths further harmful stereotypes about gay people. It treats gay people as predatory & sexually violent beings.
So with that being said... This entire "buck breaking" narrative has been fictionalized. The sexual exploitation of enslaved women & men was very much a real thing. The ritualized practice of public humiliation & violence was very much a real thing. It was a means of dehumanization & asserting control. There was never a shortage of trauma during slavery. Therefore, there's no reason to fabricate history for one's own agenda. It does more harm than good when we spread misinformation to further an agenda that is deep-rooted in anti-LGBTQ ideologies.

Uhhh

Wow, this was awful. Should have known that by looking at all the 10s from a week old IMDB accounts. Tariq's been working overtime making all those accounts. Don't waste your time and money with this propaganda. Just awful.

Amazing film. They no joke said Japanese people can't dance and that the Turks brought being gay to Africa. The whole thing is basically a /pol/ schizopost. Can't make this up. 10/10 best terrible movie. Deserves an oscar.
Black Man's Fairy Tale
ninewestcampuswatch18 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This is honestly the worst movie/doc I've ever seen in my entire life. The cinematography looks like it was done by a child having a seizure, with constant jumpcuts to deviant art fetish anime. There was no structure, and the whole thing looks like a third graders Imovie project. I cannot stress how hard this was to watch.
I also found the movies focus on the heterosexual black male to be rather peculiar. The movie discusses blackness and homosexuality as a whole but ultimately concludes that black males are at "the bottom of the totem pole." I'm still not really sure why, as there was constant contradictions and baseless thories.
This movie also suffered from a lack of any evidence or credentials. Apparently any random person off the street can qualify as a "historian." And apparently being an "activist" is a good enough credential for me to trust you. There wasn't even consistency among the random jumble of incoherent speakers. For example, some would argue that white people are inherently homosexual and that only white people exhibit homosexuality. Later, others claim that whites are the source of homophobia. This is clearly just a white hate film that is so poorly done it is best viewed as a comedy sketch, I got a few good laughs out of it, and I'm sure Tariq loves to have the movie rental money. Clearly just a cash grab that pissed pretty much everyone off, which is what he was going for. Pretty weak bait and ultimately so poorly done i could never be convinced this was legitimate. 90% of the speakers need to find a personality outside of fringe race theories and fake phds.

If this was a parody movie would be 10/10
FKintheCoffee16 June 2021
What do I even rate this, it's highly entertaining and funniest movie I've seen in a long time, but it fails at everything it sets out to try and I've never seen such a crazy and not based in any reality doc than this.
A pack of lies
victor-cypert24 August 2021
Being gay is not an agenda; it is a fact in nature. The events depicted here never happened.
Yes, slaves were sexually abused by their illegitimate owners. However, the practice of "Buck Breaking" is so absurd in its legal ramifications that it's clear it never happened.
Tariq is just a bigot.

Couldn't tell if this was real or not

Grown Men Playing Victim
lanejohn-9486925 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I really thought this entire film was a parody/joke. This film is literally grown black men playing victim and blaming everybody expect for themselves. No accountability whatsoever. Sissy cry babies who use what happened 400 years ago as an excuse to sit, cry, and do nothing today. Very sad, shameful, embarrassing, and tragic. This "film" did nothing but expose male weakness, and male acting excessively feminine in the black community.
Why is it not available?

Not very informative!
Riggyjiggy29 August 2023
I have about a dozen bucks need breaking, but this movie didn't teach me anything about the process so im just as lost on where to start as ever.
Tareek Mashead goes on at length about the history of the sport but does very little unbiased instructional work, leaving me wondering who broke him and did such a bad job that he can barely pass on the knowledge to anybody else.
If anything, waffling on about how this relates to the modern world does more to confuse the viewer than it does to educate on how this sort of thing should be done, it's not like I'm trying to open a massage parlor or something.

I always feel like I learn something from this Director's documentaries. What's up with that Bird Island situation though?
Not sure why but, before being allowed to post this, I did get the following error: "Sorry, your review is too short. It needs to contain at least 150 characters."

Pressing Documentary

Warning: Spoilers
I'm not sure if Tariq Nasheed's "Buckbreaking" documentary was completely factual-being that they used a picture of Rasputin's phallus to present image evidence of black men being castrated. But the talking points were spot on and well needed in this day and time. I liked the notable figures he used to present the talking cases too. Especially Judge Joe Brown. I think all of you should watch it.
Easily the best movie of the year
mrbrown-5901627 December 2021
I dont expect anyone whos not black American to like this movie. But to those of us tired of seeing our image run through the ground in Hollywood, this movie is a breath of fresh air. This movie is the truth. Watch it with your black children at least a dozen times. Let them know these images of black people portrayed through mainstream media is propaganda purposed to lower their self esteem. This film will illustrate to young black minds why black people are portrayed in such a negative light.
Top Tier . A Must See!

Great starting point to begin your research into the present agenda.
blackboylogic17 June 2021
This movie serves as an outline for the agenda being executed on Foundational Black Americans. It breaks down the psychological and sexual motivations behind every force against the black family and the perpetuation and thiving of Black people. It explains the history of buck breaking on the plantation and the manifestation and practice as it exists today in the form of workplace discrimination, social media and political intimidation, zoning/redlining, heterosexual shaming, and even indoctrination as early as pre-school.
This is a must-see for everyone to understand today's socio-political landscape.
