Thread: Good Hair Backlash Precious EXCITEMENT??

No, I am not blinded by my own issues. It does not matter if you are agree with me or not. You are a grown up and are making decisions with your wallet. If your point was about Oprah apologizing to Mr. Frey, it wasn't worth addressing from my standpoint because I have addressed that in another thread on this same subject. Pay your money, buy the ticket and enjoy!

I'll bet you, at the end of the day, the reason Monique was so resistant to promoting this film is exactly what this reviewer and others have written.  Clearly she has some shame for being a part of such a debacle. Hmmmm....you know, I thought about this too. You never know. Perhaps when all the hype has subsided, we will hear her real motivation for not wanting to promote the film.

Because the ones griping probably a) didn't know that there is a book and b) never bothered to read it.  

put up what? shit like this? and who is on the sideline? What other billionaires of color out there NOT FINANCING THIS BULLSHIT. Between tyler, Oprah bob johnson Russell Simmons WHERE ARE THE BILLLIONAIRES OF COLOR putting out images that dont put us down as a people?  

All I said to you is your opionion is dumb if you got issues with that so fcking bad, your opionion suck and Im pointing it out.

I was speaking specifically about myself. The fact that Daniels (as a black man) feeds into, rather than challenges, the prejudices that exist in our society leads to be especially harsh on him. And Daniels seems particularly cruel toward BW. I still remember that seen from Monster's Ball when Halle's character was laughing about how fat her son was the day after he died.

that's my point the oprah/frey thing is irrelevant. what i was stating now is that i clearly said that i DID NOT WANT 2 SEE THE MOVIE and i have no plans to see it. but u'r so stuck on your nonsense u didn't see that. and your repeated encouragement 4 me 2 c the movie looks dumb on your part. but whatever, i see i'm wasting my time with someone who doesn't want 2 engage in conversation. u just wanna get on a...

b/c they didn't read the book and don't want to. They think yt folks didn't know about this book although it had a major publisher and was a best seller

I don't trust Hollywood to treat Black issues in a way that is anything but ultimately offensive, so I tend to stay away from these movies, especially when they're preachy. That goes for Negroes in Hollywood - system structure determines system behavior and they're just cogs in the wheel - willing to stoop to anything to try to keep a gig. I had no particular plans to see either of these movies. At least you can trust the Tyler...

This reviewer could not have put it better! This line: with a year’s worth of Oprah shows tossed into the mix for good measure. is just classic!  I think most thinking people saw this for what it is without even HAVING to see this "film".  All's you really have to do is take Lee Daniels body of work thus far, and there you have it. Not even lost on White reviewers is the obvious racist thought process clearly on display...
