Random media commentary

Thanks for that link. Looks very interesting. I am going to have to read it soon.

Btw you know the #1 Rule of the African American Community is Black Mothers Are Never Wrong About Anything.

Seriously I give all due props to black women (especially my mom) but there is a mythologizing about black women that I find sickening.
That mythological sense of worship and idea that they can do no wrong is a product of a matriarchal structure. You would see similar with white women and their fathers under a patriarchal structure. Some WW, however, attempted to destroy that patriarchal back in the 70s. We, unfortunately, never destroyed our matriarchal structure.

Any attempt would be called misogyny and their misguided supporters only need to see men (oddly the most demonized yet least historically responsible) upsetting a woman and it's automatically abuse. Suddenly every negative action any man has done is rolled into that particular action without any investigation into the situation because you know "believe all women"
All I say is take a page from our Asian brothers and build up silently and just date who you want. Hating us is built into the pie so no need to worry about who's eating just know they'll eventually choke on it.

Dr Thomas Curry has done some wonderful work on this topic and the demonization of black men.
I highly recommend checking out some interviews he's done on YouTube.

That's deep. And true.
 
Googled Black.com to see what you were talking about and it doesn't exist..what came up was the domain is for sale... which is pretty surprising it's available considering it's the most basic website wording that everybody could remember.

What struck me is the minimum offer the seller will not go below for the domain :eek:

Shit, we are all in the wrong business! :p

That's worthless now since we all use apps and other non .com ways to access websites
 
I don't know about WORTHLESS, smh, as if websites are not the go to.

Apps take up enormous memory and battery use. Billions use websites still.
We are on one right now.
Let me be clear since you only paid attention to half my comment. Apps AND other non .com websites make the value of something like black.com worthless.
I could easily do black.black black.phone black.tv
So yes websites are still used just don't see the exclusive need of .com

You guys are going to get my laptop a virus if I keep visiting these websites to get links. :D

I see what you mean, but you're still wrong about it being worthless. No. Com is worthless it's the default extension everybody knows, it's like Google.
Having said that, of course it's not worth $3million dollars (minimum) even if there were no other extensions.
(l even just looked up Black.Net and that's available, too.)

Probably someone in the beginning of domain extentions snapped up everything 'Black' and their asking prices were likely so outrageous, no one bit. Still a very cool website address.
 
I just skimmed through that qz.com article and even the Daily Beast article that was linked in the article. Some people don't seem to understand that the U.S. is a integrated society & man if cultural appropriation is a legit thing to be outraged about, it goes both ways. But I guess it's not PC to call cultural appropriation in a particular direction.
 
When race and disability collide: I really, really want to support Lincoln Rhymes: Hunt For The Bone Collector. But, I'm so tired of able body actors being cast in disabled roles. Apparently, inclusion and diversity doesn't extend to people with disabilities.
 
Here are two examples of TV diversity, one example of how to do it right and one example of how to do it wrong.

I've been catching up on my TV watching now that I don't work nights anymore, there is a series on CBS called All Rise about a newly appointed black female judge, the storylines are standard fare but what is unusual is the diverse casting, first of all, the show features 5 women and two men, two black characters, two Latinas, two whites, and one Asian, there is also a lesbian (she's gay but the show doesn't try to become The L Word) and an IR relationship between the black male bailiff and the Latina public defender. The cast of the show seems so natural that I didn't even notice the diversity until the third episode. The show doesn't go out of its way to point out the diversity it just exists. I also like that the black female lead isn't a drama-filled basketcase like so many other black women are portrayed as on TV.

Now, on the other hand, we have a newer show that just premiered last week call 911:Lonestar. This show is the silliest and most ham-fisted attempt at diversity I've seen in a really long time. The show stars Rob Lowe as a 9/11 firefighter who relocates to Texas, when he gets there he begins to assemble the "woke-ist" crew in the world. First, there is his gay son (who is getting over his black boyfriend dumping him), then there is the sassy female Muslim who plays by her own rules, then we have the transgender black "man" who is trying to prove something, next we have the Latino immigrant who just wants to be given a chance, a gay Latino cop (who has explicit scenes the lead's son) and finally, we have the other leads a middle-aged white woman and a mental-case white man who has a black wife (The devil's IR). The ham-fisted diversity is bad enough but the show doesn't actually care because the leads are all white people.

It goes to show that diversity can be natural on tv when people don't try to hit the audience over the head with it.

They both sound and look horrible or at the very least bland as shit. You want good diversity that tackles some racial stuff without hitting you over the head? Try "Evil" instead.
 
Mase:

@diddy I heard your #Grammy speech about how u are now for the artist and about how the artist must take back control. So I will be the first to take that initiative. Also, before we ask of other ethnicities to do us right we should do us as black people better. Especially the creators.


Your past business practices knowingly has continued purposely starved your artist and been extremely unfair to the very same artist that helped u obtain that Icon Award on the iconic Badboy label. For example, u still got my publishing from 24 years ago in which u gave me $20k. Which makes me never want to work w/ u as any artist wouldn’t after u know someone is robbing you & tarnishing your name when u don’t want to comply w/ his horrendous business model.


To add insult, u keep screaming black excellence and love but I know love isn’t free. So I offered u 2m in cash just a few days ago to sell me back my publishing(as his biggest artist alive) that always show u respect for u giving me an opportunity at 19 yrs old. Your response was if I can match what the EUROPEAN GUY OFFER him that would be the only way I can get it back. Or else I can wait until I’m 50 years old and it will revert back to me from when I was 19 years old.


You bought it for about 20K & I offered you 2m in cash. This is not black excellence at all. When our own race is enslaving us. If it's about us owning, it can't be about us owning each other. No More Hiding Behind "Love". U CHANGED? GIVE THE ARTIST BACK THEIR $$$. So they can take care of their families.


Sounds like the music industry equivalent of Tyler Perry.

Judging All Rise against a supernatural thriller like Evil isn't a fair comparison. All Rise is just one of those low stakes dramas that don't require too much thought which is perfect for just turning my brain off after work.
