Mental is worst than physical if imma be honest. That’s how u get re-injured or become extremely tentative, thus ineffective. Truly hope he can overcome that hurdle.

I wish, my brotha. Will be in Vegas w/ my frat brother (& fellow Hurricane fan) to celebrate he & his wife’s 10th yr Anniversary.

Were they portrayed as whores, and jive talkers, too?

I feel like a spoiler should be placed on this joint. Lol

Will be one of my biggest regrets to never see Prince live. All of my boys got an opportunity, said it was life changing.

I know Larry Graham who was close to Prince. Musical genius doesn’t describe him per Larry. He said Prince & MJ were two guys that were so similar w/ their ears, but Prince was a COMPLETE musician.

She was & still is for her age, but unlike other beautiful non-Black actresses who were given roles that show cased their acting skills, Pam was often featured as this “jive talking” *** object, who would also kill a man. U show me a movie w/ Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, Ava Gardner, Sophia...

What?

Let’s not forget, those iconic beats…all musical instruments, not machines.

That’s exactly what I’m referring to.

Nah, definitely not…but I am happy to say, the owner of the shop has made it a point to play only Old School R&B music since that convo. He said he never thought about that until I brought it up and he noticed how his behavior would change after listening to certain lyrics. He said he wants his...

Yeah man, like I said systemic is a word that’s doesn’t truly get the attention it deserves. It’s all blood $$, & they don’t see the detriment it’s caused. Sometimes, things don’t change.

Not this generation. Probably have to go back to the 90’s. There’s been many hits, but timeless that will transcend over many generations forever?? Yeah, that’s tough.

1000% spot on, my brotha. U know y I love Denzel, Sidney Portier, Cicely Tyson ? They refused to be put in a box or type cast. I remember seeing an interview w/ Denzel where he said he lost some $$ from turning down roles, but the respect he earned not only created far greater roles, but more...

It would legitimately be my honor. My friends who are 20+ yr my senior swear up & down I lived in this world before. Lol. I just tell them I always hung around two things: 1. People who were more knowledgeable than me 2. Books

Bro, pls don’t do this me….please don’t turn me into Relly Rell X on this subject matter. Lol. Notice I said a huge part of the nail on the head & not “thee” nail. Trust me, it’s taking everything in my power not to explain systemic, stereotype casting, & its effects. From The Jim Crow Picaninny...

Exactly; Again, I’m not going to further derail this entire thread on this topic, but yeah u hit a huge part of the nail on the head.

For the sake of this board, the sake of a history lesson regarding the Pickaninnnies or the systemic reason why it was accepted by “The Black Community” during this time frame, & y only 30 yrs later it was reviled by the same community, I’m just going to say if u think so.

I totally think it does.

Oh no doubt; nail right on the head.
