Some painful truths.... And the movie and television industry - TopicsExpress



          

Some painful truths.... And the movie and television industry continues to hold these types of marginal manifestations as iconic and exemplary !! Its as if someone didnt want AfroAmericans to succeed... The worse they speak, the less they earn. The less they know, the more rejected they will be. The more clownish they look, the less accepted they shall be. And spare us of the female roles: demeaning and humiliating, Black woman-hating to the hilt !!! A formula passed on as ethnic or grassroots to nurture behavior for self-exclusion. The same has been done to many Hispanics. Ah, you can be bilingual -which in the inner city meant a-lingual, not knowing English and not knowing Spanish. Making excuses as if Latinos were unable to master English as well as their native tongue. These are painful truths. Encourage odd and way-off-the-mainstream attitudes and action, and you dont even get to be in the game !!
