RANT: You know when The Color Purple was released when I was in - TopicsExpress



          

RANT: You know when The Color Purple was released when I was in college we were subjected to this thing that people wanted to say that BECAUSE of the popularity of the film that ALL Black Men would be labeled as abusers. There were actual forums held on this on campus. Okay, I dig open communication and discussion. Look at US now. Men and Women quoting from The Color Purple like we were Alice Walker, Steven Spielberg or a member of the cast. NOW because of the popularity of the excellent script writing and direction and character analysis of Scandal and Being Mary Jane, I am suddenly hearing people say (Not you, Aisha NolaDarling Raison. Your Essay was Powerful and NOT saying this in the least), that by watching these TV Shows/Film/Art that WE are somehow promoting Side Chick status among our Black Female selves and loved ones. GET REAL!!! If you tore apart EVERY single character of literature and film that are Black the characters would not be decidedly human. Auuughhhh!!! Us!!! I love Back People! Dont believe the hype!!!
