Earlier in the year, there was a great backlash against the Academy Awards over the lack of diversity within its four acting categories. Not a single person of color was nominated for their acting performance, leading some, Snoop Dogg among them, to protest the ceremony. The underlying issue was that the stories Hollywood allows black filmmakers and screen writers to tell are often narrow in their subject matter, something that Snoop again touched on in a recent Instagram video.

In the clip, which was posted Monday (May 30), Snoop shares his irritation that a Roots remake was aired over Memorial Day Weekend and calls for a boycott of slavery-specific black stories, asking instead for positive black stories that document the accomplishments and achievements that have followed.

"No disrespect but I can’t watch no more motherfuckin' black movies where niggas getting dogged out," he says in the above post. "12 Years a Slave, Roots, Underground, I can’t watch none of that shit. I’m sick of this shit. How the fuck they gonna put Roots on on Memorial Day? They gon' just keep beating that shit into our heads of how they did us, huh? I don’t understand America. They want to just keep showing the abuse that we took hundreds of years ago. But guess what, we taking the same abuse, think about that part. When y’all gonna make a motherfuckin' series about the success that black folks is having? The only success we have is Roots and 12 Years a Slave and shit like that, huh? Fuck y’all. I ain’t watching that shit and I advise you motherfuckers that’s real niggas like myself, [say] 'fuck them television shows.' Let’s create our own shit based on today, how we living and how we inspire people today. Black is what’s real. Fuck that old shit."

12 Years a Slave won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2013, while the award show this past year failed to nominate any of the actors in Straight Outta Compton. Similarly, Ryan Coogler, who directed Creed, was not nominated, though Sylvester Stallone, who starred in the film, was. Coogler's next directorial project will be the Black Panther stand alone film.
