Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, we talking about the blues man. The sound that revolutionized an era in history. People tend to forget that it was the blues that inspired Jimi Hendrix him to sound like he did. Then Hendrix's music is the platform that help create rock and roll. It bugs me when folks wanna talk about how great the person is who created the Peanut Company and making billions of dollars but they never wanna give it up for the guy who invented the peanut. Without him inventing the peanut, that peanut company would have never existed. One must pay homage to those that laid the groundwork. One must not fall for gimmicky radio pop trash.(what's this blog about?....chalk it up to Gonzo Journalism).
I liked when TV shows had a concept that normal citizens could relate to. Now the idiot tube is overpopulated with brainless reality show which displays folks in utter discord for the mere amusement of the viewing audience. These new age reality stars are now making a decent living being a spokesperson for this image that they portray,...don't think for one minute that they are not acting! Its a show...All I need is some old reruns of Saved by the bell and a pack of twinkies, and I will be A Ok. we got the jazz...

Think Like A Man? (I think not!)
So here we are once again in the year of our lord 2012 and they got some nerve to put out a "black" movie called 'think like a man.' The problem that I have with this film is not with the actors or the plot but the mere fact that black films have been reduced to senseless gender role reversal complex. (I just coined that phrase!)..... the theme of this flick is "act like a lady, think like a man," OK nothing offensive about that on the surface but the subliminal message is damn cold blooded!!!
Now I wouldn't consider myself a male chauvinist or someone who has any Ill will to any woman who chooses who she wants to get down with, but I live in Atlanta and let me tell you: these girls are really into other girls and guys flirting with other guys. It's like the whole city is confused or experimenting with their sexuality. (to each their own)....I aint trying to knock ya but Its a bit overwhelming. Just image some kid downtown going to the Aquarium and he run into some 7'1 Cross dresser wearing high heels with a scrappy beard.....That kid is scarred for life!
Now back to the movie and the underlying message. The movie which is based on a book by a well known author (who I will not name) explains how a woman can get the best of both worlds by thinking like a a man. Now I don't want to get into the story but the idea is that by thinking like the opposite sex, then somehow she would have an advantage over her unsuspecting mate.
Well let me pose a question? what if the tagline was reversed? Dig this: what if it read "Act like a Man, think like a Lady." would you be offended by that? I might be.... See the problem folks is that is the problem too many men are acting like sissies and the women are getting more butch. Not exactly the world I imagined but I will go with the flow. When we examine the type of films that are considered "black" films we have to just take a quick history check:
-Big Momma House
-Tyler Perry films
-Pulp Fiction
-Too Wong Foo
Not only is it the wearing of the dress but also pertaining to also portraying some "queer" characters. when I see Wesley Snipes in Drag, Ving Rhaymes getting Violated, Will Smith as a homeless homo, not to mention Hale berry getting dog raped by Billy Bob "Hick-town", Its no wonder I don't care for what next pile of recycled rubbish that Hollywood is gonna spew out it's perverted mouth! (burn Hollywood! burn!)
Why cant we see any good movies where the black guy doesn't get killed first or at least gets to live to save the girls and ride off into the sunset. Where are our black heroes? where are the role models? (Perception is reality) As we continue to pay homage to these stereotypical films we as a people are being sucked into a web of lies, propaganda, and illicit perversions. (I ain't buying what you selling and all they selling is subliminal wolf tickets!)
.....All I need are my Dolomite flicks and Xbox 1!
