 The Shaping of Black America by Lerone Bennett. Everyone of every race should read this book. Racism as we know it today would not exist. Apparently, slavery was not the intention of the original founding settlers, as evident by my own ancestors. Blacks and whites lived and worked side-by-side, with each being self sufficient. Birth and marriage records for blacks were allowed, and blacks were equal paid citizens. Both Irish and Africans came to America as indentured servants, receiving income for their services. Then, some "genius" decided more labor was needed to build up their dream of America, and free labor was best, which became America's long-standing nightmare. There is a reason why blacks were chosen as the "free" labor, but read the book and find out! There's even interesting government documents copied in the book. | |||
| The Heart of a Woman by Maya Angelou. What can I say about Maya that hasn't already been said. But this is a wonderful autobiography. And the people she has met and befriended in her lifetime, one can only dream about. | Ain't I A Woman edited by Illona Linthwaite. This book was a gift and has become a permanent part of my heart. It demonstrates the beauty and power of women on so many levels. | Angel of Darkness by Dennis McDougal. Now this is a classic example of "unless you live 24/7 with a person, you really don't know anything about them." Randy Kraft was a model employee while committing horrific murders along California freeways, even on business trips. (Thank goodness Wall of Shame Inductee California Judge Joseph Garcia wasn't the presiding judge or else Randy Kraft would be a free man now!) | |
| Racial Matters by Kenneth O'Reilly. Several years ago, I bought this at an interesting used book store in Santa Barbara near UCSB. It sat on my shelf for 4 years, but when I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. Reading this book gives a great deal of insight about our government, the FBI, and why certain attitudes of intolerance exist today. The most unforgettable incident was a SHERIFF'S OFFICER knocking down and kicking a visible 6-7 months pregnant woman, with a 1 year old in her arm, a 3-yr old being held by the hand and a third child standing by. She was visiting her husband who was jailed for participating in civil rights activities. She suffered a stillbirth. Her name was Marion King, wife of Slater King. The sad part is this incident is only one of hundreds of heinous incidents involving all levels of government during the same 1950s/1960s civil rights movement. No doubt the officer went on to retire from law enforcement, probably receiving a memorable outgoing party, and paid for by his local government. The south needs to correct a lot of wrongs! Like Carolyn Bryant wanting to live out her remaining days in peace and quiet. Carolyn Bryant is the wife of Roy Bryant, the degenerate who killed Emmett Till. Peace was never given to Emmett. She's very lucky I am not near her! I'd be a Jehovah's Witness from hell, on her door night and day, and I'm not even a Jehovah's Witness!! She'd never have a moment of peace. | |||
Pretty much everything except that "I'll cut your heart out and feed it to your mother" crap. But favorites and what I play regularly:

Lackawanna Blues - since it's premiere night on HBO (2005), I have loved this movie! there are a lot of Nanny Rachel's who kept communities together when things could have fallen apart. talk about an outstanding cast with not one bad performance. Undercover Brother - OK, if you didn't laff once in this one, something is wrong! "I didn't see her in none of my secret agent classes...I'm still payin' off the loans...I sleep on a pissy mattress...I borrow money for my weed". Sooo many funny parts. And finally, a movie that insults everybody! Independence Day - no, NOT the Will Smith one, which was entertaining, but the one with Diane Wiest, Kathleen Quinlan and David Keith. The Color Purple - "Out of Africa" won over this one?! Huh? Now I know why I don't watch the Oscars. Imitation of Life - an educational and very heartbreaking story of love and family. El Cantante - wow! forget the dumb reviews. see this movie. excellent AND Oscar worthy performance by Jennifer Lopez. and buy the soundtrack as well. both movie and soundtrack are worth every penny. Buck & The Preacher - an all-time favorite. The Forbidden Kingdom - this has become an instant favorite. To see Jet Li and Jackie Chan together was incredible. The fight scenes plus cinematography were also incredible. American History X - I can never tire of watching this movie (well I cover my eyes for one violent part). Even the cinematography was perfect (black and white when hard and cold, color when relating to others). If you don't see or understand this movie, especially if you're a 6th or more generation U.S. citizen, you're probably part of the problem, or too busy fighting it. Edward Norton and Avery Brooks deserved Oscars for their roles. The Ten Commandments - gotta check out the gold shoes one of the male servants was wearing during the first born plague. LOL But...ummm...what happened to the sign where Moses places his hand on his chest and it turns white? Oh my bad...edited for Hollywood, a brown man married to an Ethiopian woman coming to say "let my people go" probably wouldn't have done well in theaters. Oh wait..."Prince of Egypt". Casino - out of control, out of control. All of the acting was outstanding. Platoon - I still don't know the purpose of the war, but no purpose will justify the amount of lives lost and how they were lost. Jackie Brown - "Is it this aisle, Louissssss?" And dang, Pam Grier still looks great! Jungle Fever - From the opening picture (Yusef Hawkins) to the soundtrack to the last credit on the screen, I love this movie! Favorite parts: when the sistahs were sitting around talking ("the war counsel") and when Flipper brought his new girl to dinner with Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee. "but you knew she was coming." LOL but Ossie wasn't playing. Even Queen Latifah was serious! and all that talent in one movie (Halle Berry, Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Robbins, Michael Imperioli, John Turturro, Tim Robbins, Frank Vincent, Tyra Ferrell, Annabella Sciorra, Anthony Quinn, and more... yet, once again, overlooked by the Oscar voting panel! oh well! Love Stinks - French Stewart, Bridgette Wilson, Tyra Banks, Bill Bellamy. OMG! Fun-nee. So many favorite parts, including, "you two should be wearing ski masks and holding a gun" and "can't I just kill her and get off, this is L.A.?". What's Love Got To Do With It - "You tryin' to help Ike?!" Training Day - DANG! Malcolm X - Sorry, this wasn't on the list before, but for those who know me, THIS IS a given! The Players Club - with Bernie Mac, Ice Cube, John Amos, Jamie Foxx, Lisa Raye, Monica Calhoun, Alex Thomas, Charlie Murphy (my crush since Jungle Fever), Faizon Love (my other crush since Friday), Terrance Howard, Anthony Johnson, Adele Givens and my favorite - "Ronnie" played by Chrystale Wilson. but Dollar Bill! O.M.G. Jason's Lyric - "they don't have none of that on the menu..anybody else that can serve this fool, I'm on my break!" Set It Off - there wasn't a dry eye in the theater at the end. Heat - that shootout after the last robbery was intense, and Robert DeNiro AND Al Pacino in the same movie. Baby Boy - "want some breakfast?" Two Snaps Up, John Singleton! The Long Kiss Goodnight - "it'll be just a minute." (ok, people, it's entertainment, mindless entertainment! tired of hearing movies are supposed to be the answer to all ideals and beliefs!) Disappearing Acts - an excellent and realistic love story. Never Been Kissed - too funny and loved the ending. So I Married An Axe Murderer - I don't care how bad of a mood you're in, you will laugh! You also can't say you're a Mike Myers fan if you haven't seen this one. I saw it opening weekend and everyone was walking out the theater still laughing from so many funny parts. "He'll be kryin himself to sleep tonite on his huge pilla" The Associate - with Whoopi Goldberg and Diane Weist. Smart, inspiring and very funny. Fun With Dick & Jane (2005) - with Jim Carrey and Téa Leoni. Hilarious! Legally Blonde - "I go here." "You go where?" Sleeping with the Enemy - "It never started." ooooh, cold, but understandable, along with the ending! A Bronx Tale - driving backwards? wow, that's power. Diary Of A Mad Black Woman - man, I need me a Madea in my life! and always good to see Cicely Tyson. The Departed - wow! although I predicted the very end. but didn't predict all the racism, but that's Boston, somebody's gotta hate somebody. |
