Le sigh!

I really could give a rats fat a$$ about the Award shows, the honors, the validations, the boycott, the pettiness, or any of these conversations and debates but social media and news outlets have taken precedence over my timeline and my virtual space, as intended. 

In response to Stacy Dash. I "get" what she's attempting to advocate and coming from her, given her background, it makes sense that she feels that way but just as radio stations, clothing stores, universities, etc. are geared toward demographics...so are televisions stations that's why we have BET (Black entertainment television), MTV (music) WE (women), Lifetime (desperate housewives), LOGO (homosexuals), Telemundo (Hispanic)...I could go on and on but I won't. These stations and brands are geared to respond and entertain those stereotypical demographics. Whether it does the job accurately or not is up to ratings and sales. It's ridiculous and misguided what she's saying about getting rid of them. It negates the purpose.

In response to Aunt Viv: She spoke nothing but the bitter truth. As petty as it may have seemed our world is solely about self many times. So much so when a true hero, a humanitarian, and good Sumeritan act out such as Jamie Foxx or the countless other people in the world that do it...not to discredit or devalue our Veterans that stand on a Wall and fight for the freedoms and liberties that we, and I say that loosely, because it's I can't even comprehend every day it's amazing to us (me) it's just not seen. People usually don't take to an issue until it's in the backyard or knocking on their front door. So in with Janet Hubert: this has BEEN an issue. Race. It's an issue. It's always been that way. So, now you're finally mad after the multiple years it's been an issue that you want other to jeopardize their careers? 

Stand up! Stand up for something. Have an opinion. Everyone has one. Speak your mind. Have conviction. But ultimately MAKE CHANGE!!
