Farrakhan breaks down The Color Purple Movie

- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- In his amazing lecture in 1986 Farrakhan used the movie color purple to show the unseen in our everyday life. I hope this will encourage you to want to watch the lecture which i will post in its entirety at a later date.

The media banned Farrakhan from all tv and print for a reason: Every word he speaks is enlightenment.
Well the fact he's also a racist. And probably had a hand in Malcolm X's death. But it doesn't mean he can't speak truth every now and then.
I never understood why Danny Glover would agree to this role.
@@treasurethetime2463 , money and fame is a helluva drug. Look how Harrison Ford sold out his fans and masculine image to be stomped into the ground in Star Wars The Force Awakens and Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny.
Enlightenment from one source, one God Almighty. Any other enlightenment is fake. Lol
He’s a racist plain and simple
"Your rise is the fall of their world"!! That's such a powerful statement.
So profound and a raw truth 😊
Powerful.
That statement has been true all along. You see how hard they try and have always tried to diminish black people.
Not only that, we represent their "genetic annihilation".
The color black or brown, is a very dominate trait. No whyt woman can make a melinated baby only by a melinated man.
It's supposed to mean instead is the rise and fall on the Word. God is the Word and he doesn't lie. 😂Lol🎉
I am not a Muslim but found this to be very enlightening. The man just preached a sermon about The Color Purple. This is deep.
Teach Hard Bro. Minister.2024
The fact that he was saying everything about degraded styles with music ALMOST 40 YEARS AGO is mind blowing.
i know huh
Exactly and he’s right with everything he pointed out
@jonathan03ist Is the book worth a read? How much different is it than the original movie in your opinion?
@jonathan03ist The book read like a one of poems. What I saw in the movie kind of represented the book. The movie was meant to do something different and tug at everybody Black!
The fact that this was the 80’s and he was already in his 50’s is mind blowing.
Not…. Late thirties early forties💪🏾
@@tracywells7808 what do you mean? The Color Purple came out in 85. He was born in 1933. I think I’m misunderstanding your comment.
@@omalichanwa1877 my bad your right 💪🏾 early fifties my mistake
So handsome
Damn he nailed it. People really need to be mindful of what they consume and what they meditate/ruminate on.
agree
The way the media makes Farrakan look... it makes you not listen to his truth. That is "their" goal.
@@BLOXKAFELLARECORDS AGREE
This movie was not some corrupt narrative by a white man. It was based on a novel by a black woman.
Agree I’m 2024 why was this remade I wish the collective ignored this traumatic movie it’s not educational
It’s amazing how prescient his words were! It’s now 2024 and his words from decades earlier were spot-on.
2024 HERE FACTS 11 yrs ago STILL FACTS IJS
He is blame shifting to make black men feel better instead of diving deeper. Slavery and jim row caused black families to fracture. Now we can actually build better lives TOGETHER . Stop black female oppression. Stop telling us to stay in our places because white America already got that covered. Ask why Keke got beat because she was trying to pull a brother up. Why our men not having this discussion?
😂😂😂
This clip is over 30 years old.
@@bjwitdashitztv81305 what facts?
Based on the media's portrayal of this man I was expecting to not like what he had to say. I was wrong his speech was/is amazing!
That’s why you should never judge a book by its cover and experience life and people and places for yourself.
Learn to do your own research and learn think for yourself.
Media is so full of it.Everybody has the right to speak for us except us!! Ridiculous.
That’s because the media is run be a certain group of people who the honourable Minister is not afraid to speak the truth about. And rather than debate him on his critique, they choose to demonise him.
All of his speeches are amazing which is why there is vested intrest to paint him as a hater.
I never did like the Color Purple so was really not interested when it emerged again most recently. There are a lot of hidden subliminal messages within the script. You always have to look for the subliminal messages.
Agreed 💯 %
Facts 💯💯💯
That's why I didn't like the movie The Help either.
Color Purple vexed My Spirit 😢
I used to wonder why, in the '80s, they always wanted White directors to tell Black stories (Spielberg - The Color Purple, Norman Jewison - A Soldier's Story, etc.). I assumed it due to studios wanting bigger name directors being more reliable or competent, etc. Now I think the reasons go much deeper.
I remember bending down so no one would see I was tearing up when Celie was reunited with her children; and after all this time, that scene still made my eyes water.
I cried all through the movie. Don’t feel bad
I remember watching Rosewood in 6th grade and to this day, the scene where the dude violates the woman in the shop is burned into my mind. I told my mom that I saw that movie and she came to the school and let’s just say that she wasn’t very happy
There are a few scenes from that particular movie that haunt me to this day. Smh, it's not good.
@@nimatullahking3595 Agreed.
Are you black?
Unlike the the color purple rosewood was reality..
I've never watched that movie or Roots. I've seen a few images, and it's honestly too painful to watch
Farrakhan was way more wise than we ever gave him credit for. His consciousness is and was more evolved than the common man, He was trying to raise us all up!!!
Farrakhan makes sense even change the way I eat .
he raised you up not me. my father did that!
@@bmefilms6879 my words were he tried to raise us all up. There was a series of people, a unit responsible for my elevated consciousness, not Farakan.
this is a man, aging, dying like us. Everything man has elevated in you is temporary. Search for the true God and let his wisdom awaken in you a motivation for sacred service that has everlasting rewards.@@df2324

I’m 59 years old and my dad was Muslim he use to go to the mosque on 125 st Harlem new York my father knew Elijah Mohammed and Louis Farrakhan and Malcolm X we had a photo of my father and Elijah Louis and Malcolm together. My father also met and marched with Dr. Martin Luther king jr. I’m from Harlem New York and I heard the stories of our history Ive seen a lot. I’ve been listening to this man speak for a very long time. Farrakhan has always spoken the truth.
Everything after @19:30 I totally agree with. Farrakhan has been warning our people for decades, I'm a Christian, so we have some differences, but I agree with much of what he teaches and dread the day we no longer have his voice. Our people are slow to listen and slow to learn. When he's gone, another light will be out and we'll be plunged into more darkness.
I agree and I too am a Christian but your comment was spot on! Completely!
This is so True. Not many will stand with a voice .
That is a very negative way of thinking God will ALWAYS send us the light when we need it. We need to not limit God and trust that there indeed is order amongst the chaos
@@carnellclark744those that stand with a voice have a calling on their life and God will always lead them to speak the truth
The Lord knows what he is doing let’s not limit
When is our society going to learn the people that are silenced are the people who make the most sense.
It is important to know how emotions are a bridge to keeping us living fragmented.
What I saw are people who live in trauma bonds.
And how those trauma bonds are the groundwork for the United States.
What he said is facts. The small hats do not want your rise. They control your image, but we take such degrading roles for money. They will never put you in roles where you look good.
Exactly! Just like the Oscars won by us folks are always for negative roles!
This all goes deeper. The Matrix & Get Out are real! IYKYK

They NEVER stopped gaslighting us.
My mother gave me the book 1st to read then I went to see the movie. The book was way better and my mother explained to me this is what she came from vs what she became today! She lives a way better life and raised us all to do the same!
That’s exactly what I got from the movie, what your mother said. I saw what most of our grandmothers were dealing with back then my granny was 13 married to a 28 year old man. In my opinion the movie was about a woman who suffered abuse in almost every way since she was a preteen and her overcoming it all and reuniting with the sister she tried to protect from it. Men don’t like that movie because it exposed just how horrible some of them really were back then.
@@jaislays83 So true my mother was 13 married to a 25 year old WW2 veteran!
he cheated on her so many times that he ran up on some hookers in New Orleans and didn't want to pay them so they got him killed! Found his body on the train tracks! That's what my oldest Sister told me!
You know, I was about to turn this off but after 6 minutes he finally got to the point and now I can see it!
Me too😅 somehow HE has a way to rope u in with his storytelling. ALWAYS on point with his message
This was a master class!
Incest, rape and abuse continue in the Black community because victims are bullied into silence. The Color Purple is an important movie about an aspect of the Black experience that we hide to our detriment.
Ok so more movies need to be made about black men being raped and abused by black women.
I swear this stuff really be happening
What’s the cause and solution?
More movies need to be made about black women abusing men.
@@visualvision2488 nobody said it wasn't. It's interesting that black women are glad a movie like this is made. While white men abuse black women more, there is no movie like that.
Beautiful thing about Minister Farrakhan is although he’s Muslim he’s able to go beyond religion to speak truth to power. You may not agree with everything he says but he’s able to at least cause you to take a moment and think
I don't see where it matters if he is Muslim or Christian concerning his view on the Color Purple. He is not talking about religion, he is stating facts. I don't see where it has to be brought out what he is. It is accepting the TRUTH.
@@12131910 … you literally just said what I said but in a different way. Lol I’m highlighting for the ppl who get hung up on the fact that he is Muslim, as if it invalidates him. Thanks though
I love to hear Farrakhan speak. A GREAT MAN TO LISTEN TO
THATS what people are missing.. it’s not about religion.. it’s about injustice and negative expose and what it does to the emotional and physical psyche of the targeted audience….
That, he does. I totally disagree with him about some things, but this one was spot on and something I knew intrinsically when I saw the first movie. I haven't seen the 2nd, because I don't care to revisit how angry it made me feel.

Yawn,
🥱🥱🥱😴😴😴
Black 😂men all throughout history since the beginning of time have always been weak the the only time a black man is strong it's because of the black woman. And even then he's doing everything he can to destroy himself and her. Black women throughout history have died trying to lift these s called men up to no avail. No such thing as a good strong black man unless he's broken the back of a black woman trying to lift him up and trying to keep him lifted up. Not even in our entire history. The black male has always been weak cowardly when it comes to other men especially any man that's not in his ethnic group and meanwhile taking out all his frustrations and impudence on the Black Woman.
Exactly on point!!! Nothing points it out more than child custody cases and child support… breaking up the black family and putting barriers upon them… preventing them from rising so that the enemy won’t fall.
Understanding Willie Lynch and racism
Minister Farrakhan isn't for everyone.
At times isn't for me
But there's always wisdom and truth in words
I will never forget that statement from Farrakhan, "...then we are able not to see things, but to see INTO things." How powerful and true it is, even to this day what the "New" Color Purple is displaying. Subliminal messages to keep us from becoming a unified people.
We are not unified by choice. Our young men and boys are still not nurtured, in large part, by the black community
.. and sadly, their fathers who are horrible role models.
If we blame others we can't heal.
Well, he wouldn't be a liar just because he is not a Christian now, would he? Think.
@@stars-are-us LOL You do realize you just blamed Black men for not "nurturing" our boys, which is the Black woman's job, right? And we're not divided by choice, we are divided by design. It's like you didn't listen to the clip, or didn't understand it? Stop playing the role the slave master gave you. Think for yourself and stop repeating lies about YOUR man. Worry about YOU being unified with a Black man. That's the only way we rise, one family at a time.

@@juniorjames7076 Racism exists and movie making requires lots of money. I am sure Alice Walker lived well out of the rights to her book. Is Keke Palmer gaslighting us when she showed her man choking and throwing her around like a rag doll. That was a color purple moment, duh. Yeah, when I was young, I was beat until I blacked out. He could have been any color.
Why can't domestic violence be called out in the black community without being called racist? Why can't black men have that discussions amongst themselves about why many men still beat on women? My ex fiancé's dad beat his mom down often and my ex came at me with a belt and told his boys to bail him out of jail for busting my lip. I pulled out my gun and said, never and bye. He told all of our family and friends I pulled a gun on him. I never removed it from the holster and it has a safety trigger key. and barrel lock and would have not discharged... he didn't know that and he didn't know where the keys are hidden. No man is worth going to jail over. Highlight this please.
I am not a 304, I am a 30 yr retired navy doctor who was trying to live a peaceful life my black male companion but he refuse to acknowledge his trauma or heal.
Domestic violence of all races should be highlighted. Black women are most likely to be killed by black men but media focuses on their lovely, high valued white women more.
YOU BETTER PREACH MY BROTHER 🙌🏾✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 I SAID THAT SAME THING
I remember this when the movie came out! Thanks for posting this.
I grew up with a father who dislikes his family. I grew up in an environment of men who abused their families. It's hard to not identify with the movie then😢
Men want us to serve them even after they abuse us.
I don’t believe it, u just been brainwashed by bitter women & you’re unable to separate yourself from your mother, grandmother & aunts 🤷🏾♂️
Human beings can be selfish... true@@stars-are-us
Whom has done this to you
What I don’t like is how they want to dismiss that part. He said 60% of the audience were victims of incest. Yet he wants to address what the white man focus is. The message should have been that the black man should seek to do better, black women are responding not creating. Sorry you had to go through that
As a child, this was my mother's favorite movie growing up in the late 80's/early 90's. The mother who divorced and degraded my father, abused me and my siblings, birth children by three different men, lived on welfare, contracted HIV and now lives sickly, bitter, and full of hate. So you see, the minister' s message of influence is all so very true. It is my reality. Thank you Minister Farrakhan
i am so sorry to hear about your experience and I hope you are well. I can't help but wonder about your mother's experience growing up and what types of abuse she experienced. It seems that abuse gets handed down to the next generation. I hope you can find it in your heart to have peace with your mom if you already haven't. Power and Blessings to you young man. Peace.

I was invited to go see it. Felt like everyone around was memorized except me. As if the film had hidden agendas but couldn't be sure or not. I thought it was in my mind.
They all have hidden agendas. Always have. You can research the origns of Hollywood. They created illusion all the way around. Promoted lifestyles and values and bigotry and discrimination that they wanted society to accept as truth.
People seem mesmerized during Mr. Farrakhan's speech, as well. Everybody has an agenda, don't they?

Not quite. Her man is as weak as Harpo was in the movie. I don't know him personally, but from what little I saw, he stays in the background and lets her run the show.
So no one received the message of FORGIVENESS from this film…
Although mister was a very broken and abused Celie she was able to forgive him although he has mistreated her and abused her. She wasn’t going to be in a relationship with him anymore but she ultimately forgave him.. and the same message was displayed with shug her father was upset at her for abandoning her gospel roots and he refused to acknowledge her…. But he was able to forgive her although she hurt him by not singing gospel anyone…. What I understood was ( maybe god is trying to tell you something).. forgiveness 💜💜 be blessed.

Call it like it is. Oprah has taken every opportunity in her movies to down grade the Black man. Even when you look at how she treated Black men in her early shows to get women of color and white women to watch her.
It's selfish thinking. Yall say this as if the stories of bw don't matter. Or we should just be silent. Unfortunately for the bw, many of our hardships were at the hands of bm. We should be able to discuss that...
Plus the book was written by a bw...

Everything he says is absolutely true I was born in the 60s so I know exactly what he's saying
I was 14 and I knew that white society created this dynamic.
In the book Celie get together at the end. Spielberg took that out.
He also took out the good Blk man who loved his wife, served God, and raised Celie's sister and children in Africa.
Good for you.

The issue with this movie is there are too many BM who don’t acknowledge the pain and suffering BW go through at the hands of BM. Mister is real. For some he was the father, uncle or brother. Celie was embodied of those who experienced incest and/or SA. Sophia was one who by a willingness to fight didn’t end up experiencing what Celie did. Nettie was the one who was being groomed to be abuse but like Sophia ultimately fought back but her fight came at a great cost. Shug was the one who took her own path and was shunned because of it.That shunning played a part in the poor decisions that she made. At the heart of all these sorrows were men who believed they had the right to behave the way they did. Please spare me the whataboutism. BM aren’t abused to same level by BW. Yes it happens but that isn’t the subject of this movie or post.
Exactly.
🎯
I'm apologize but I think you truly missed what he was saying and also the reason for this book and movie.
Yes Danny Glover character was not the best man possible. But there were no strong black men in the movie also what gives the woman the right not to forgive? In essence you have the lesbian, the sister who truly has no rights in his house the woman who couldn't control her mouth and thought she was a man and all of them are brainwashed into thinking they could do without a man. This is the society we live in now which is also the cause of feminine men
@@andrejamison2723 no I didn’t miss what he was saying at all. I remember the controversy when the original movie was released. Many BM were denying that these type of BM existed or if BW encountered this type of the behavior it was somehow their fault. The experiences of these BW were being dismissed out of hand. In this speech the Minister does acknowledge that BW were subjected to these behaviors. In fact he quoted a statistic that indicates nearly 60% of BW had experienced sexual inappropriate behavior from a male member of their family. Could one argue that there was an imbalance, it is possible. This was a story being told through the eyes of BW and their experiences with the BM in their sphere. Oh and as Celie pointed out the white folks would have never got Sophia if Harpo hadn’t wanted to rule over her. She was a woman of strong opinions. A woman having opinions isn’t disrespectful but it is to a man who is weak and Harpo was, just like Mister. Only weak men have to prove their authority by being abusive or violent.

What the minister failed to memtion is the Black Christian minister who adopted Whoopi's sister who along with his wife took her along throughout his travels across Africa. He was the only positive black male role model in the entire movie. And yet his character is never mentioned when the film is being critiqued. I wonder if Farrakhan didn't mention him because he was teaching Christianity and not Islam??
Yes. A good percentage of the preachers back in the past were honorable.
But for years, gradually the pastors, like their parishioners. Ever since the movie The Color Purple, as well as the disgusting music, plays and television shows, that have stealthy, very slowly been introducing lifestyles, languages and clothing and have been gradually saturated their viewers
Subconscious Mind with garbage and unspeakable acts of things that nature and God himself, were never meant for humans to participate in.
Has lead pastors of all faiths over these past years to themselves accept and promote the very kind of behaviors that the Bible’s they hold in their very own hands ( CONDEMN! )
Right now, this very day pastors are producing Podcast PRAISING The new
The Color Purple. That why no one is talking about that PASTOR. Because for years the pastors have evolved. And the pastors like the one in the original The Color Purple are hard to find. So no one today can relate to those old time pastors.
Thank God for minister Farrakhan!!!🙏🏽Bismillallah!
Wow I love this!
It's so obvious too, but it's like most don't want out of the trap. They want to stay in the box.
The newest weapon is rap, but we don't wanna hear that yet. Imagine he's taking about rap and tell me I'm wrong.
I encourage anyone who wants to hear a more effective orator on this topic and black African studies, please look up lectures from John Henrik Clarke
John Henry Clarke is no longer available and anything that he talks about is what have us fighting now, and if you don’t know his teachings came from Elijah Muhammad you need to know he was once a follower of this man, there is nothing to learn from him other than some old literature about Africa
@bernardcole4911 There are literally dozens of John Henrik clarke lectures available on this platform #1. # 2, what has clarke ever stated that has us fighting? # 3, I never said anything about Elijah muhammad, I commented on a farrakhan video. But since you went there, brothers like Clarke has educated black people that Islam in Africa to this day is a political means of enslaving Africans. Show me a video where farrakhan teaches the nation that they are changing their white slave masters names to Arabic slave masters names
I will admit that as a young boy after seeing this movie I hated Danny Glover for a long time, but I also didn't understand why Celli allowed him to treat her so bad but be so good him.
A terrible movie, but exactly what be want. There's an enemy within.
I met a woman from afar who said to me, "I love Nelson Mandela" me: "Twenty Seven Years..."
Her: And he still forgave those fuckers." Her: "I hated Winnie. She was such a bad person."..... Me (inadequately): "look at what they took from her."........Just before the above video ended, the minister mentioned 'the destruction of their children's minds and ours. Elders have spoken to the notion, idea, fact that the TAST (African Holocaust) did not only traumatize the victims but also the perceived Victor's as well.
Yet, Paulo Freire reminds us that 'in returning the power to the people challenges the previously oppressed to either become the oppressors or to restore the humanity of both'........words are easy......sounds and images are easier.....
I wanted to hear the speech, but the editing is awful. It disrupts the flow. Leave out the video examples.
Enemy? It was alice walkers story- a _black woman_ , it may not be the story that people want to hear but it was the one she felt compelled to tell. I never saw it as an attack on black men but as an attack on white supremacy, on slavery and the way it has divided and destroyed and dehumanised black man and women.
What else does poverty, discrimination and abuse do to a person but turn them into a shadow of themselves ? The men in the stories were themselves victims who victimized others. To me it is a loud condemnation of slavery and the misery it perpetuates
BINGO!!!
That's exactly how I saw it!!
You missed the whole point it was a propaganda to say even under oppression black man was still evil which isnt true
You walked through the details of the film however many BW don't see it that way. All they see is BW seeking revenge, and trama bonding then the movie goes off. No different than Atlanta house wives or Basketball wives. Steven Spielberg directed the film, that alone speaks volumes. (Google) Why did Steve Spielberg direct "The Color Purple"? Please read his explanation..
Of course you don't see it for the propaganda that it is because women think in the moment
I stopped watching these oppressive movies 2 decades ago. We need to stop letting Hollywood profit off our pain.
that movie is Spiritually draining for you to like that movie say alot about you.
I thgt I was the only one that thought this. 😂 Movies like this they can keep. ...12 years a slave....all of em
The remake of The Colour Purple is a musical and the song and dancie iis amazing. The black cast are brilliant. The story is about a girl whom has never known love only abuse from her stepfather and husband. The only person who love her was sister who was driven away by her husband who treated her like a slave. Its a beautiful story.
The movie is powerful. The problem I had with it is that it is not balanced in its portrayal of black men. My father worked his knuckles to the bone. Many black fathers sent themselves to the grave to provide for their families: wives, sons, and daughters.
All the while, the white man tore him down, humiliated, castigated, and demoralized him. Deprived him of the means to get even much less get ahead. Rich white media allowed these films, yes.
The black man is and was scoundrel-ized in society, and a movie that showed all the black women as saviors and victims and all the black men as villains furthered this cause. Black men in this country have always and still do fight an uphill battle.
One of the most debilitating situations is that our black women disrespect and abhor the black man. So excuse me if I agree that The Color Purple, while exposing the evils of slavery, had a nefarious effect... degrading the black man.
Black men wear degraded because they allowed themselves to be degraded. Teaching the children always look down with a white man came along treating the white woman like she was a damn Queen instead of the queen who rightfully was a queen the black women
I understood your point completely. HOWEVER, if the crimes were not committed there would not have been a movie. There is a reason that these films resonate with so many not just BW but Women in general
@mysexpressions9604 I do understand that. But when you shine a light on one thing for good, you shouldn't turn around and do harm at the same time. And big harm was done to paint all black men as hateful and incorrigible.
@@MichaelBuieFilms it wasn’t ALL black men.
1. The preacher stayed out of the nonsense but was still beloved by his ratchet daughter.
2. Main Character’s real Daddy died leaving a legacy for her, a complete 360 from literally every other Male in the show.
3. The missionary took in Nettie and the abandoned/sold children.
I saw a lot of good examples of men 🤷🏽♀️ even mister in the end tried to become a good person without asking anything more of her.
Both our perspectives are valid though.
Not everything is balanced in real life. This is a portrayal of what has happened in the past to some families.
Purple means royalty in fremason . It's very clear. Only fkr eyes to see and ears to hear
And that my friend is why I reduced/almost halted watching movies because there is so much demonic things going on behind the scenes! God help us! 🙏
The scene when she was giving Mr a shave and she nicked him and he propped that back hand. Me and some classmates had to lay our heads on the desk so the teacher wouldn’t see us laughing
This message is still relevant today and that Musical Color Purple😮
This man is Amazing 👏
I was raised around men of Honor and I was never molested or touched by any of them! I had an uncle who was a WWI veteran and another uncle who was in WWII, and my father was a WWII veteran. My grandmother and grandfather who was married for over 50 years raised me in a Christian family household! And I was very fortunate to grow up like this. I don’t know how a man can have sex with his own offspring!!!! It’s sickening to even think about!! Louis Farrakhan is right on point, this picture depicts everything that is totally immoral! Dirty and Low!!
You have been very blessed to be a part of the 40%. I was blown away when he stated 60% of black Americans suffer from incest experiences.
We’re our own worst enemies.
Stop lying.. ....
TRUE
We who
White supremacy has you brainwashed.
@@missspencer7744 exactly. I can’t stand these ‘We is da worst peoples ever’ self hating ‘the white man’s ice is colder’ type Black folks. The types who will take the actions of the worst in Black society and make them the face of our culture but wouldn’t dare use the worst folks in other races to represent their entire groups.
Minisitry and Mr.Orwell warned us
The ending just got me... all facts. Wowa. When you realize you're still enslaved but you think you're free. Only the devil and those who work for him can pull that off.
I always wondered why Celie's children couldn't speak English when their parents and Nettie spoke it. That part didn't make any sense. They should have been bi-lingual.
I wondered the same thing
He will not fall. He has risen.
There’s nothing to break down it’s a fictional story a STORY !!!
Good fiction has facts and those truths can be distorted.
You believe in Adam and Eve I bet
