Bamboozled

 So I just recently went back and watched Bamboozled again.  Spike Lee seems like the only director that continues to push the envelope.  This movie came out in 2000 but it still rings true today.  People always ask me something about a Tyler Perry movie like I've seen his movies before.  It's the assumption that I like stupidity and not creativity.   Should I critique something that I have never seen all the way through?  Well there is a reason why I never seen it all the way through.  It seems like I'm always talking about him, but go back and watch Bamboozled.  The situation is so prevalent today.  You have the short, fat, bald guy wearing loud, tight fitting clothes and mispronouncing words and acting stupid.  That's the same thing we were doing eighty years ago.  The most powerful man in the world is Black so something doesn't add up here.  Every show or movie doesn't have to be The Cosby show.  I understand that drama sells but his work is so stereotypical it's ridiculous.  It feels like I'm on a one man crusade to see better images of us in the media.  Lupe Fiasco went on The O'Reilly Factor and couldn't get a word in.  Denzel Washington can't buy an Oscar.  My cousin should be replacing Katie Couric.  Every little bit helps right?  Until then, I'll keep voicing my opinion and people will keep disagreeing with me.  I don't care.  My thoughts, my blog.  Simple.
