Stuart Gordon, whose films include Re-Animator, Castle Freak and Space Truckers, has the right to take creative license and make what ever kind of film he likes. But why didn't he use a black actress? Why was it okay to just put blonde, ethnically Estonian Suvari in cornrows? Why have Angelina Jolie play Marianne Pearl? There are so few black actresses in great, meaty roles (Jennifer Hudson in SATC does not count) and most of the big releases have male stars. There's a lack of parts for women in Hollywood altogether — do actresses of color have a chance if white women can just put on some corn rows (or a curly wig) and play "a particular kind of girl from a particular place" ?To read the rest of the story and the synopsis of the film in question, "Stuck," go here.
Frankly, the tolerance for older men having sex with underage girls in segments of the black community is one reason too many children are born into impoverished circumstances.Source
Because adults fail to see these older men as sexual predators, they end up blaming the minor girls for the inappropriate sexual contact.
It should be as unacceptable in the black community for older men to have sex with these physically mature but emotionally immature females as it is for older men to marry underage girls at a polygamous compound.
A few years back I started making Andy Warhol homages to Lil Kim. Not because I liked Lil Kim or her music. Not because she was some epitome of manufactured beauty. But because of what she'd become, because of what Christopher Wallace, Notorious B.I.G., created her to be, the one thing she had to sell and sold greatly.Source
Lil Kim is a commodity like so many other things in the post-Shiny Suit Era of the Hip Hop Industry. A time when female MCs were really damaged girls on the come up willing to become glammed up, exalted strippers spitting rhymes they did not write. Flaunting game that was coached and coaxed. Male producers boosting them like hot cars. Flipping them like refurbished homes. They were ample, eager, hungry enough to get down on all fours and become profane provocateurs who could provide money based on "Pussy Power."
Pussy Power is not feminism. It is not womanism. It is about your worth being reduced to your private parts. Your parts being the only thing you can sell. Tits. Ass. Vagina. Marginal face with exemplary chassis. Girls getting bodied for talents they never possessed, but paraded about as the supreme because they fulfill male fantasy. This is not the same as an attractive woman with brains who uses her charm and guile and beauty to advance like an axiomatic Goddess. A success story who glides amongst us and gains the longing stares of men and women alike. This is the aspirational woman. The dream.
The likes of Lil Kim, Trina, Remy Ma and Foxy Brown fresh from prison are not.
It's amazing that any woman, girl, child could look at this coterie of cunts and find their dreams. That they could learn their sad origin tales of sexual abuse and abandonment leading them to paths of decadence and destruction and want to cosign to a testosterone fueled world where a credit card in the crack of an ass crudely demonstrates the vulgar truths.
August centers on two brothers fighting to keep their start-up company afloat on Wall Street during August 2001, a month before the 9/11 terrorist attacks.Thanks to sky over at Sara's for the tip.
I’m still struggling with why it is such an “insult” to white and other non-black men for a BW to decide that she wants to broaden her options to include them in her dating pool. Is the message that unless a BW has always been exclusively attracted to white or non-black men, that she is “settling?”
I still see this argument quite a bit unfortunately and I find it personally insulting. There seems to be some people who really believe that “revenge” can be the only reason a BW decides to “date out” after a lifetime of dating black only. “Well, she’s just mad because she can’t get her IBM (Ideal Black Man) so now she’ll show them and get a white man.”
I’m not going to “pretend” that some BW may in fact be angry at BM and I will not judge that experience. However, I’m sure if a woman gets involved with any man that she truly has no interest in, that man will be smart enough to realize this and that woman will not have him for long. So, tell me again how this *potential* issue makes BW dating out the Antichrist?
Anyhoo, it is my feeling that BW are more open to dating out because we can just see the proverbial writing on the wall. That writing by the way, pretty much says…if you want to increase your odds of finding a QUALITY man to marry, then do NOT limit your dating pool to one “type” of man; include ALL men. Period. I don’t find that in any way “settling.”
