“What About Our Daughters” blogger is sadly nuts

I once in a while poked in on “What About Our Daughters” blog to read their POV on things. Recently the blogger or bloggers for that site have gone a bit nuts with requesting a boycott on the George Lucas flick on the Tusakgee Airmen “Redtails” because of it’s lack of black women in the movie. If you don’t believe me see the ranting and blogs for yourself. Check this link as well as this link.

When I called out the foolishness (on the blog’s Facebook page) on the boycott as well as “Pariah” is an option to also support the blogger for the site got downright nuts. She told me off because apparently (since I don’t regularly read the blog) she had posted on “Pariah” in the past and in a nutshell also stated:

You are such a passive aggressive coward. I’m going to see the 4:50 show of Pariah TODAY. It just got to the art house theater in town thank you very much and I already posted about it during its opening week. AND Pariah,Middle of Nowhere AND Joyfui Noise are all mentioned in Monday’s post so you can just go play in traffic. If you don’t like my editorial schedule, then go start your own blog. Do people really think guilt-based whiney handwringing work on me? No, they just annoy me because they mean you’re lazy and think I’m stupid.

This item right here this heifer posted on January 20 Facebook page KILLED ME SERIOUSLY:

If one more incredibly dumb Black woman rationalizes Black women being cut from this film because it was about the men, you’ll be banned. This page isn’t for you. You’re not welcome and on top of that, you’re incredibly dishonest. Watch the video. You weren’t in the movie because the actors and the directors think Black women are backwards and White women represent progress. THEY SAID IT!

So I wrote a colorful letter explaining the insanity of their boycott, how it is unfortunate that different points of view aren’t respected by you, sorry that I have a life and don’t find it a need to be on your blog ad naseum to know what the hell you talk about. Also I stated please be prepared moving forward since you blocked me from your Facebook page to be put on BLAST for your stank behavior! Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) I didn’t get to tell this bitch I already have a blog (going on year 3 February 14th I might add) that I do and that she would be the PROUD recipient of my latest rant!

So yes I am NOW putting “What About Our Daughters” a site which I had previous had on blogroll (and THANKFULLY DELETED) ON BLAST FOR THEIR DISRESPECT OF ME!! I AM THROUGH SUPPORTING FOOLISH INSANE ANGRY BLACK WOMEN BLOGGER(S) like ones on “What About Our Daughters”! Which is sad because some of the things I saw on their site I agreed with for the most part currently and in the past. But to go ape shit crazy over a movie with lack of black women in it seems waaay out there to me. But alas the blogger on this page seems to also take up personal disdain with black women & black men who are involved with folks outside their race as well. Too bad I couldn’t have addressed with angry black woman were you this PO’d on the movie “Glory” that had very few if any black women in that cast and that was also based on historical perspective albeit with some dramatization? I MEAN REALLY!!

But again the blogger for this site will be blasted any chance I can get to do it on their insanely disrespect and lack of ability to dialog with differing opinions in an adult manner! Some nerve to call your blog “What About Our Daughters” and yet showcase to younger women childish behavior towards other black women you disagree with! In my opinion acting EXACTLY LIKE THE ANGRY BLACK BITCH STEREOTYPE you detest soo much on your blog that you are “Unapologetic, Uncompromising, and Unbowed in Defense of Black Women and Girls” on. I make NO APOLOGIES & HOLD NOTHING BACK FOR CALLING THE BLOGGER of “What About Our Daughters” an Angry Black Bitch (with too many countless personal issues vented about on the blog and over analyzing on in my view) lacking the ability to dialog with differing POVs in an adult manner!! Perhaps the blogger for this page needs to seek some counseling sessions for her personal issues she seems to be going thru that she is manifesting her hatred on by lashing out at strangers online towards! I can honestly recommend this expert for the blogger to consult with.

Really Sunshine GET SOME COUNSELING!!


How I feel about the movie “The Help”

Shout out to Professor Melissa Harris Perry on the August 10, 2011 segment The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell summing up to the T my thoughts on this flick. I have no desire to see this movie! I keep wondering is there a middle ground to work with for images of positive regular black women to be shown on screen that falls somewhere between historical aspect of the black women on “The Help” and current tv images of black women on Basketball Wives, Real Housewives ATL and Single Ladies! That’s all I ask!!

I truly respect the history it portrays of black women being maids and taking care of the white families in the south during the era where that was the main job for them. But it isn’t a history that is painted as happy go luck either during Jim Crow era especially! I truly get sick and tired of pandering movies like this that are those “feel good flicks” with happy ending and it’s mixed with a historical timeframe in which it wasn’t really all to the good the lives of black women back then. But I digress. Please listen to what Professor Harris-Perry says!

I am also soo glad to read posts such as Armond White’s review and this one from Jack & Jill Politics that support my views as well!! Included with one of the posts is a letter from the Association of Black Woman Historians!


Time for President Obama to Channel Samuel L. Jackson

In theory it would be kick ass if Obama did channel Samuel L. Jackson as Jules in “Pulp Fiction”. But in reality that’s just not him sad to say!! Wouldn’t it be funny if it showed Obama and them watching that intro scene with Jules and Vincent shooting up that dude in that early Pulp Fiction scene and Fox news going apeshit over it. LOL

I believe Michael was “The Scarecrow” even after “The Wiz”

MJ as Scarecrow in The Wiz

I was watching for the first time in ages (as an adult) The Wiz with a new found respect and appreciation for MJ as well as a bonafide fan of this movie since I was a child.  He was incredibly talented and I am still in awe of this movie even 25 yrs later since my parents introduced me and my sister to it.  It is sad to NOW know that the lone living lead principal of this movie is Diana Ross!!   Yet the profound thing that hit me the MOST of this flick was the very very last line he said

“Success, fame & fortune they’re all illusions.  All there is that is real is the friendship that two can share”

When I heard that line I was blown away.  I was thinking as I recall his life and demons and issues and some people that surrounded him who I feel meant no good will to him, where the hell were people to offer him “real friendship” with no strings attached in the midst of the illusions of success, fame and fortune he had built up over 30 yrs after The Wiz.  I believe some true genuine friends that weren’t “yes people” such as Deepak and (his son) Gotham Chopra were ones who offered that type of strictly legit friendship to him based on my readings of their respective articles on Huffpost.

I wonder looking at The Scarecrow if MJ often still felt a lot like that character.   Not really sure about things and himself and very impressionable around people who meant him no real deal good (outside of his familiar world of doing his great music and showcasing KICK ASS performances).   I wouldn’t  be surprised if some of the personality traits of The Scarecrow were things the casting folks saw in MJ as a teen going into young adulthood (dealing with a lot of issues with his appearance, dealing with people and shyness) when putting him in the movie.   It is too bad even older in life in my view he still had those issues of insecurity, self doubt, seeking approval in a circle of  manipulators & users like The Scarecrow!! Miss U

The classic song from this movie I have always loved!!
