Can A Brother Get A Break??!!











Man...can a brother get a damn break??!! I guess not. In the past weeks Black men are getting killed...accused..and forgotten. Bonnie Sweeten, a Philadelphia woman, said that 2 Black men had kidnapped her and her 9 year old daughter and put her in the back of a Cadillac. When in fact she had went to Disney World and her and her daughter were staying in an expensive hotel. Ok she was fleeing Philadelphia planning never to return...cool...you wanna leave your old life behind...ok, fine...but why stay on the East Coast (1), why stay in the country if it was that serious (2) and why say 2 Black men kidnapped you?? (3). When was the last time you heard a Black man kidnapping someone (that wasn't drug related). Amy Smart...kidnapped by some white dude...in fact all kids...kidnapped by some white dude. So how come white women like to say some black man did something crazy to them. I have my theories, but that's for another session.

This racist 88 year old James W. von Brunn comes into the U.S. Holocaust Museum and starts shooting and kills guard Stephen Tyrone Johns....a black man. Damn shame that it happened...damn shame a person got killed...damn shame this man was still on the streets. He had a past of illegal and racist behavior. He has written many publications aimed toward the defamation of Jews, African Americans and other races. He spent over 16 years in prison total for attempted kidnapping, 2nd burglary, assault and weapons charges. He stormed into a Federal building in 1981 brandishing weapons...so why was he let free sadly to do the same thing in 2009 and take a man's life.

On a completely lighter note Eddie Murphy is getting the cold shoulder in Hollywood these days. His new movie Imagine That came out with really no advertising ( I only saw a commercial for it once), no help from the Late Night Shows (I don't think) and no general buzz at all. Is it the he left Scary Spice pregnant and alone?? Or is it no general interest in him anymore. Family movies tend to do well...prob not in the midst of Summer Blockbusters, but on average do pretty good. So why would Paramount waste money shooting a movie that they weren't going to push. It's really beyond me.
