I have no catchy title for this one. Too pissed.

Thank you, Father Attucks!

So, I just posted this on my Facebook (FB is the reason I haven't been posting here lately. Hehe!)

Ok. So I just for the first time heard Chris Rock's whole "Black's vs. Niggas" and.....wow! How he thought that whole display of coonery wouldn't put him in the latter category is beyond me. All that does is invite outsiders to disrespect the members of his group, who don't have his fame and money. 

You know, we talk a lot about rappers and how they sell out all people of black American descent, but what about comedians like him and that evil Chepelle? (I hate him BTW) Why can't these fools rely on their own talent and stop wit the race gimmicks? Why do they not give a crap about how that effects the rest of us and future generations? And why do so many dull-minded "blacks" back up coonery? I don't get it.

Add to that his really dumb Tweet about the 4th of July. I had mentioned to someone earlier that Crispus Attucks was an African/Native American biracial man who gave his life for the Revolution and I'm sure he was thinking about future generations of US. So why not call it Crispus Attucks Day, if you want to relate it to our unique history. Geesh.

Then something else came up. I was looking up an article and came across someone who had posted about his and a few other controversies over the holiday and something said there shocked me. I really like this gorgeous French actress named Julie Delpy. She made this awesome film about Countess Erzebet Bathory. If you have Netflix give it a watch. It's called "The Countess". She wrote and directed it and I was psyched to see that she was staring in another Indie all her own called 2 Days in New York and I was totally revved up to see it....until I saw who her love interest was-Chris Rock. Now bare in mind, this was BEFORE the Twitter incident. I didn't want to see any movie with him because I loathe his whole "Good Hair" clown show. Then this incident happened and now I read something very, very depressing from the author of this article:

"Rock has yet to respond to the social media "backlash," instead moving on by promoting the upcoming iTunes release of 2 Days In New York—Julie Delpy's neurotic indie romance that Middle America is totally not going to watch now."

That honestly saddens me. Think about it, many people probably don't know who Julie is, and the idea that her work could be tainted in anyway by Rock's actions just sickens me.I hope that doesn't happen. I really do.

What sickens me even more is why don't more black people in general understand that by not checking these types of people that, what this person predicts will happen to Julie, will happen to the rest of us? Why? Why do they support on principle any  person just because they are black? Isn't that racism? Why not vet them to see if they are truly in the best interests of the people or just using their identity to sell out everyone else for personal gain. Take the blinders off and realize that supporting so-called members of your group who do not reflect your values is not in your best interest.

Happy Belated Fourth!
