Born to the Wrong the Generation: Reason # 99

Once upon a time, I defended you Tyler, I promise I did. To this day, I still appreciate you for providing jobs to blacks in the entertainment industry on and off the camera. Nonetheless, you my good sir, have exhausted your redundant plots, and I'm mad at reputable Black actresses for allowing you to minimize their talents for the sake of being another bitter black woman.
Don't get me wrong, Diary of A Mad Black Woman was one hell of an introduction to mainstream America. Madea's Family Reunion explored the depth of issues within the black family, but also showcased the significance the black family and the importance of unity. I'll even give Why Did I Get Married credit, for at least portraying black people as MARRIED.
Nonetheless every film following the above mentioned have been mediocre at best, in regards to plot, and representation of the black community. If anything, I appreciate your latest contribution simply for the fact that it aids in the composition of my list that surmises that I was more than likely, born to the wrong generation.

Born to the Wrong the Generation: Reason # 100

You ever try to engage in conversations with some of your peers about certain things only to get the stank eye o_O? That's how I feel most of the time when I try to discuss anything significantly relevant to certain peers. This phenomena is reversed whenever some of my friends try to hip me to some of their interests as well. I have since concluded I was born to the wrong generation, and this video is the beginning of the countdown that brought me to my thesis :

My President is Black... I mean Racist

At least according to Glen Beck he is. Or he has a deep seeded hostile feeling towards white folks. I promise, Dr. Gates was like the straw that broke the camels back as it relates the Post Racialized society we live in! It's almost too good to be true. Is too much discussion on race, a good or bad thing?

Big Ben Vs. Black Athletes

Is there a racial component to the lack of coverage in the Ben Rothelsberger case? The 2 time Super Bowl champ is being accused of Sexual Assault however, the coverage has been minimal to non existent. Some believe this is because this is a civil case, others of course are crying racism... where do you stand?

What do you call a Black Man with a Ph D. ?? -Malcolm X

Malcolm X answered this controversial question he proposed decades ago with a word that still evokes anger, and fear and resentment within America. "A N*****" he simply responded. In 2009, the discussion of whether or not that rings true has arisen due to the apprehension of Henry Louis Gates Ph D. a Harvard Scholar, who was arrested for "breaking" into his own house. Upon initially discovering this story I chuckled, appalled at how someone who is renowned due to his infinite knowledge of the black struggle in America and an advocate for activism was apprehend because he had a jammed door. Then my amusement slowly morphed into discontent, and pure frustration.

We are less than a week removed from the Supreme Court Hearings featuring Judge Sonia Sotomayor who is bound to make history by becoming the first Latina on the High Court. However, her confirmation hearings were plagued by questions pertaining to her race, ultimately inquiring about her ability to make decision unbiasedly. I thought this was supposed to be America's shining year for race relations ?? I mean our President is Black... wait he's mixed... No he's African American... no wait, we're all just Americans ... right? Or that's what we'd like to think. It seems that we have broken our arm by attempting to pat ourselves on the back, and this event is proof of such.

Less than 19 hours away from Black in America 2: Solutions, the world cannot continue to ignore the bias and internal bigotry that enlies within the heart of this country.

The funny assumption about race tends to be that if you discuss it, the result will perpetuate more division. However, time and time again that has been proven wrong. I mean look, we've been ignoring race for a while now and look at how great we're doing! Until this country can openly discuss the ills that plague people of all colors that have resulted from historical injustices, we will continue to be exactly what Dr. Gates was; locked up, and humiliated.

Happy Belated Birthday to the NAACP

Without it, organizations like UBSA would not be in existence.
