Tuesday, October 20th, 2009While I was searching for something of interest in entertainment news, I happened upon an old item in the Huffington Post. Now I don’t normally read that blog, as I tend to disagree with the views there – massively. But I had seen an interesting press release from N.O.W. (while following up a different post) [...]
Where are the women of color?
Monday, October 19th, 2009As much as I deplore the secondary status that is generally imparted on actors and actresses of color, I do have to admit that there has been huge progress over the years. It’s not that I accept the roughly 7% immersion of people of color in Hollywood, just that it far exceeds the perhaps 1% [...]
Samuel L. Jackson – producer again
Monday, October 19th, 2009Of the many thing that I think Samuel L Jackson has done right, I’m not sure his next 2 upcoming projects will fall into that category.

How far have we really come?
Friday, October 16th, 2009The year is 2009. Yet there are still people who act as if the year were 1959. For all the hype of a post-racial America, for all those that continue to deny that any racism exists, they need only look to Louisianna. Justice of the Peace Keith Bardwell of Tangipahoa Parish, recently refused to grant [...]
France and Australia have more in common than you think
Friday, October 16th, 2009Wait, France and Australia? They are on opposite sides of the world. Literally. They don’t have a share history. The people in Australia like beer, France has wine. Australia is mostly a big desert known for Mad Max and Mel Gibson. France has the Eiffel Tower, cheese, and hasn’t won a war (or really mattered) [...]
