Thursday, July 8th, 2010Just as the nation was welcoming a new President and the “hope for change”, in Oakland, Oscar Grant got more of the same. It was New Years Day 2009, literally just minutes into the new year, when a BART officer – Johannes Mehserle – stood over the prone body of Grant and shot him in [...]
Shock and awe – Airbender and Prince of Persia whitewashed
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010The most amazing thing about the soon to be released major films The Last Airbender and Prince of Persia is not the way the films have been adapted to motion pictures from their source materials (an animated cartoon and a video game respectively). It’s not the scope of the films or the lavish use of [...]
J.C. – Comedy Central shows its arse
Friday, May 7th, 2010Viacom is a major television cable network. They own B.E.T., VH1, MTV, Comedy Central and various other television properties. In each of the cable channels 3 things are common: African Americans are regularly mocked, Christians are mocked, Muslims are avoided. Sumner Redstone is the real power behind the scenes at the network. He is the [...]
Michael Vass discusses Hollywood & the Race Lift By Darren at The Movie Blog
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010Today the Movie Blog cited on of my posts (Tropic Thunder draws questions of racism) in a discussion of The Last Airbender and moreso the issue of race in movies. It’s a topic I have long discussed. Now I will start off thanking Movie Blog for citing my work. It’s always pleasant to see my [...]
VH1 and Viacom are turning a new leaf – unlikely
Tuesday, April 6th, 2010I admit that I am surprised with the latest news coming out of Viacom’s VH1. My shock is that the former music video channel has suddenly realized that African Americans might just be more than whimsical minstrels. This is a massive departure from Viacom’s steady and degrading fare of television programing. Viacom is the owner [...]
Kevin Broadus and Binghamton University – food for thought
Friday, April 2nd, 2010“…he (Kevin Broadus) expresses the importance of availability of opportunity for young people, including those with sports abilities. Coach does not believe that we should assume, for whatever reason that a young person, won’t be able benefit from education access, while allowing a person with athletic talents to reach for his or her own personal dream. Some dream to become leaders in academia. Others wish to become accomplished sports figures. As so clearly demonstrated in the recent hit movie about Michael Oher, “The Blind Side”; had some of the coaches, schools, and public taken the position they have regarding rigid “standards” that have been espoused in this case, that gifted young man would have been a casualty of society rather than the person he is with the accomplishments he has achieved.”
Crackers by Chris Rock
Thursday, April 1st, 2010It’s taken 6 years for this music video to get out. If the title doesn’t give you a clue why it’s taken so long to get out, everything from 27 seconds on will. Oh it’s a parody of Outkast’s Hey Ya music video alright. And it’s dripping with sarcasm. I couldn’t stop laughing the first [...]
