Chicago-Midwest

YOU ARE BEING ERASED!

FROM:Bougie Black Girl

Biracial Danish actress, Jaqueline Fleming stars as Harriet Tubman in the new movie Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. No offense to Ms. Fleming but she in no way resembles Mother Tubman. There are millions of Black actresses out there. Why choose this one? I believe Hollywood seems much more comfortable with women who like her than Black women who look like Mother Tubman.

The most powerful thing we must do is control our image. And since money is power the first step is to stop supporting entities that want to rewrite our history. The second step is call them out when they do it. And finally the most important step is to create, cultivate and support our own Hollywood. I for one will no longer support our annihilation. Next thing you know the Madame CJ Walker story will be about a White woman from Delta, Louisiana!

    The difference between you and I is the difference between a picture and a painting, between eating out and dining out. You are "propelled" into action. Enoch: compells people into action.

    It is sad and pathetic that you have to ask but nonetheless go here to see them all:

    • If you are unable and unwilling to declare that here, why should I go there?
      For more talk?
      I am open to be swayed be you.
      To be moved and inspired by your argument here and now that I may be propelled in to ACTION.

        The operative word in my reply to you was "go here to see them all"  The operative is "see"  not "more talk"  Can you "see" the difference between "see" and "talk."

  • What's the "image" that we must "control"?
