BIG
"THANK YOU". In my not so humble opinion,
Doug McHenry(Director) is one of the
best and brightest to use
his immense God-Given talents in Hollywood.
As with many
things I feel I've seen/learned over this Lifetime--where
creating
images for Native Black Americans is concerned--"I" feel
Mr.
McHenry's talents were not met with opportunity anywhere near
equal to his talents.
Good news is--'means of "doing" is not as
dependent
on the gatekeepers/"controllers" in movie/television
business...moving
forward. Result: hopefully more empowering stuff that
doesn't
have behind the scenes "money-controller-gatekeeper CHOOSERS"
putting THEIR spin, control, demeaning little pieces of bullshit cliches
in what gets "greenlighted"--and presented. We've had generations of
subtle to overt demeaning crap put on
Black characters/stories, etc.(put
into the heads, minds, psyches,
self-images of all who pass through).
Still happening--but the
means to do WITHOUT "THEIR" spin is growing.
What happened
to Powell, Malcolm, Ali, Dr. King--is still very much in
play--but more
"nuanced". It's the Young, Future Generations I'm
concerned about. PORTRAYALS MATTER. Hope for the Future? More Young
are talking
to each other--straight up. Concerns? Means of "control"
because of technology(and money games) are giving greater power to
indoctrinate(cabal-owned mass media, press, money-in-politics, etc.).
CONTROL OVER WHAT IS SAID, THOUGHT, PORTRAYED, SHARED--
IS INCREASINGLY
MONITORED AND DICTATED by
self-appointed overseers. It's a race. Do we
maintain our
basic human natures and freedoms to think, explore and
express--
or do we become "uber-controlled" servants to...
We have no
Adam Clayton Powells in politics or power
today(that I can think of...)
yet.
Let's go new/future generations...DO BETTER.
