Source: NBC / Getty Despite the 2021 Golden Globe Awards being under intense scrutiny due to the significant lack of Black members in the Hollywood Press Association, the show still managed to be Black as hell thanks to this one moment in particular. The 2021 Golden Globe Awards were lit due to all the Black AF moments during the socially distanced awards show.

Peep The Trailer To Shaka King’s ‘Judas And The Black Messiah’
Source: Warner Bros. / Warner Bros. Outside of a few references in rap songs from artists who are familiar with Black history, the legend of Fred Hampton and the Black Panther Party (not the Wakandan one) is something that goes unrecognized by too many heads not only in the culture, but in society in general. That might could change real soon with the release of Shaka King’s Judas And The Black Messiah. Starring Daniel Kaluuya as the Back Panther Party’s chairman and inspirational leader, Fred Hampton, Judas And The Black Messiah tells the story of the positive change that Hampton was attempting to make in the Black community and the fear it struck in the hearts of authorities who knew a unified coalition of Black, Brown, and White people could be problematic to their oppressive ways.
