A Message To The Messengers

Since we have gotten rid of our cable, we have been using Netflix ALOT more. I have watched some bad movies over the past few days, but there is one that stands out, it's called, "American Violets". This is one of those movies (being black and all), that never shocks me. However, it is another reminder that RACE is still a huge issue in our country and it probably always will be.

What irritates me is that I didn't know anything about this movie (truth be told, I'm not a huge movie buff), but this story needs to be discussed and told. This is one of those movies that probably didn't gross much, so I'm certain that it went away quietly.

I beg all of my "liberal" friends, black, white, yellow, red, and brown to watch this movie. I know, we voted for Obama and all. I ask, how often do you watch movies with a predominately black cast?

This is not a discussion about how people of color, usually from lower socio-economic backgrounds need to address OUR problems. We are not always innocent and we need to stop being victims.
