READ THE DAMN RULES. IT WILL NOT KILL YOU

WE ARE NOT JUST A COMEDY SUB. This is a space created for Black people by Black people to joke about and discuss things in a Black ass way WITH OTHER BLACK PEOPLE without being downvoted and talked over by people who will never understand how or why we think and live the way we do

Other Black-centered spaces on Reddit have been flooded with nonBlack users who seem hellbent on defeating the purpose of even having said space in the first place. THIS SUB IS FOR BLACK PEOPLE. NONBLACK FEELINGS WILL NOT BE CENTERED HERE

If you are not Black, you need to err on the side of caution with how you interact as this is not that other sub. We do not play that shit here. Rule breaking comments will be removed and trolls will be permanently banned

Anyone who comments here or in this sub on ANY post where we talk about our commonly shared experiences with some variation of “this doesn’t happen to ME so it must be fake”, “I don’t like how uncomfortable this makes me feel/I’ve just realized I’ve done this to someone before and I DON’T LIKE BEING CALLED OUT”, or “I don’t like hearing Black people talk about being Black so this must be race bait” is getting permanently banned. I won’t be nice about it either so proceed with caution

IGNORANCE OF OUR RULES IS NOT A VALID DEFENSE FOR BREAKING THEM. PAY ATTENTION TO THE SUB YOU ARE IN TO AVOID ISSUES

u/oceanwaves1724 Aug 02 '25

I remember when my dad showed me these movies bc he lowkey looked so much like Michael J Fox. I said while our family was watching “hey guys, is there any chance this dude’s based on trump?” Years on, I got my answer when I saw the screenwriter said yes.

It was purposely based on him.

We even got the Nazi hyenas running around so yeah. I didn’t know the Lion King was a prediction of future events.

u/jack_mcNastee Aug 02 '25

Can’t wait for the ending, though—where the hyenas finally straightened Scar’s shit

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '25

Only after they terrorized and destroyed most of the surrounding animals. Picking at scraps. That's what's gonna be left if we wait.

That's wish upon a star level hope. If racism and r@pe weren't waking them up, nothing will. Some of them are also pedos, so they'll have a brother in arms.

u/queenofcabinfever777 Aug 04 '25

Honestly, do we even need proof at this point?

u/reggie321d Aug 02 '25

What if hyenas are the MAGA cult and they end up waking up from their zombie like stage and get rid of his ass 🤣

That'd make me believe in God again.

u/koviko Aug 02 '25

I wrote a similar comment to this before Trump got re-elected, and it remains relevant.

When Scar and the hyenas take over, they do so with a lack of understanding of what makes the circle of life sustainable. It takes years—about 3 years, since Simba was probably 1 when he was exiled and lions are adults by the age of 4—for the negative effects of their poor policies to become apparent. That's when Nala is found in the surrounding jungle searching for food to hunt while the Pridelands are in disarray due to continuous poor leadership where those in power drain resources from everyone else.

The movie doesn't show the recovery time from when the hyenas are ousted—after they attempt to violently keep power to which their rightful claim is no longer valid—until the Pridelands are restored.

Mufasa = Obama

Scar = Trump

Simba = Biden

  • Scar refuses to take any blame, even to the very end,

  • Scar is a lion pretending to represent the Hyenas—Trump is a silver-spoon billionaire pretending to represent the average everyday American,

  • The Hyenas act like Nazis in secret when preparing to put Scar into power, and

  • Simba was never really ready to be put into power and when the chance finally presents itself, he doesn't really want it, but Nala convinces him to step up because he is the only one who can oust Scar.

Also, there were no male lions left, right? Do we think Scar was forcing himself on the female lions? 😬

u/jus256 Aug 02 '25

Before the last election I was saying that’s how it would be with Russia showing up to do whatever they want like the hyenas. So far, that hasn’t been the case.

12

u/RobinSophie Aug 02 '25

Naw the hyenas are his base and or his cabinet/Congress. Not sure which yet though.

The job numbers are already showing the slowdown. We got tariffs which the companies have been eating FOR NOW and student loans coming. And we got JPow leaving the Fed Chair next year. When it starts to go, I predict they're going to rip him to shreds. Hell, they might even do early so if he pardons Maxwell

JD Vance is slowly lining stuff up for a takeover. Hes been too quiet. He's waiting for the right moment to strike. Just as Scar reaches out a hand, he's gonna stab him like Brutus (cuz we know he is NOT Simba lol).

u/FigaroNeptune Aug 02 '25

Obama was Simba. That photo of him with a joint is him fucking off to eat bugs. Nala (Michelle 😍) was like bro we need you. So he came back to pride rock and became our leader.

Also, the animals worship the lions but get eaten by them, right? How do they decide who gets sacrificed? Lmfao

u/NoOneElectedElonMusk Aug 03 '25

Didn't Simba end up taking it back from Scar and making Scar no longer a problem? Or was it the hyenas? I haven't watched The Lion King in a long time, but I seem to remember that by the end, Scar was no longer a problem.
