This is reply to:

The Controversy over PRECIOUS by Carl Dix and Annie Day

posted by Redwinter

First of all thank you for the excellent article. I heard two sides of this story. Something odd sticks out to me though. Carl Dix and Annie Day of this article points out something unnerving.

They say:


"Lots of people think the solution to all this is "strong male role models and father figures." And many have pointed to Precious in that "light" as well—that it's harmful because, whether it depicts reality or not, these are characters that shouldn't be highlighted."


Come, come now...

strong male role models...

Martin Luther King's: "support of abortion" put his life in danger, and almost cost him his life. see, "Martin Luther King's support of Plan Parenthood: a synopsis"

But the practice of "Non-violence" and "the philosphy of revolution" helped forge a discipline in African people who were convinced that "courage" came at "the end of a rope" or the "barrel of gun".

In a time when Black taxes dollars reserved you a "seat in the back in the bus", and second class civils rights under the Constitution; not in the Constitution.

I must remind myself, at one time, I also was ensared by "The Negro Project". You couldn't keep...

I immediately see...~ 60 years old, in the future, sagging there pants.

oligarchy... is one of my favorite words. Makes me think about who are the "True minority" of people.

We have to learn how to be a "friend" and have friends before we learn how to be "brother's and sisters".

I was in the Cox cable, today. This old, blind sistah roared on the staff for taking too long.

I never thought about it, until today. But they had 3 out 10 stations open. And the one dude was in and out, in and out of the back like every customer.

She said, "Ex'cuse mee...Why is...
