  2. True, what I think of Jordan can not possibly matter to him in how he perceives himself. However, if Jordan has any interest in appealing to the great masses of Black people on a more than superficial manner, then my opinion does matter. But again, I'm sure this was not a goal of the film. Appealing to Black people on a profound level has never been a goal of Hollywood. Indeed, as you probably know Key and Peele appeal more to white folks more than they do to Black folks. for these very reasons. This is of course the primary reason for they terrific success. Of course, profit, as you implied is the measure of success and this makes it necessary for films to appeal to white folks. Appealing to Black folks is nice but certainly not necessary or a driving factor.
  3. You are a sagacious and intersting mix of the Sun and Moon. You are holistic and balance or are adept at using both sides. So you can see people clearly. Except no one sees their own face. You stated that we were all Alpha Males. I was the first to acknowledge this fact. Because I am an intellectual alpha. I am sustain by ideas,. We are sentenced by our convictions. - Del Strachen. Cynique as i get older i choose my engagements. And I am okay with walking away. Which is why i am very far from where i started. On more than one level. Cynique you have summed up the group brilliantly and concisely.
  4. I sometimes think of Troy as being a voice in the wilderness, worthy of being heard. I often think of Delano as being his own best friend. I usually think of Pioneer as the creator of his own world. I find Mel to be an original thinker, CDBurns a calculated optimist, and Xeon a discriminating black man. I don't know what I am. Coo-coo, I guess.
  5. I actually did not make the Punta Gorda Book Festival, but I did make the Southwest Florida Reading Festival. I'm probably gonna chill for a while. The next book Festival I'm definitely planning to attend is the Sacramento Black Book Festival in June. when I plan to speak about the corporatization of the World Wide Web and how that has adversely impacted the Black book ecosystem. Hopefully, the talk will be more interesting than it sounds :-)
