Blacktators
There is no doubt that we Black folks don’t get much shine in mainstream society. Sadly, we are rarely named to leadership positions, despite the fact that we are often qualified or over-qualified. It unfair and it sucks.
Band of Kings -Selma, the Movie
I would like to see the movie, Selma, again — five years from now. I would guess – no, let me say that I pray, that I can appreciate it more then. Don’t get me wrong, Selma is an outstanding movie; I just wasn’t able to appreciate it the way it deserves to be appreciated. It’s like going to a 5 star restaurant when you are already full. Last week, I couldn’t see the movie cleanly: without the heaviness of all that has been occurring with race relations on my shoulders, the fog of fear in my eyes, and weight of weariness in my heart.
