  1. Lol.... You'd be blessed if you could walk out without some crazy redneck pulling heat on you and accusing you of being one of Obama's "government goons" coming to spy on them, lol. They don't trust Black people as much as Black people trust them. But even if you managed to get the pictures and get out alive, they probably wouldn't sell because White people don't like seeing the inferior unsophisticated side of themselves. When was the last time you saw a White man with no teeth on television? When was the last time you saw a White woman with no make-up on on television? Unlike many of our people, they don't like "keeping it real"....lol. No. Actually your feelings of frustration are linked to what his taking pictures of Black people and displaying them in a White bookstore actually means on a subconscious level. It's almost as if he's a White man who went on a Safari in Africa taking picture of animals and putting them on display to the more "civilized" Remember when Bill O'Reilley went to Sylvia's a few years back and claimed to be surprised at how nice was??? Al Sharpton took him to task on it like....'da hell did you EXPECT to experience in a soul food restaurant? I know how you feel because White suburbanites often do the same thing to Detroit. They go through the city snapping pictures of Black people and run down buildings and display the photos at high-end events discussing them and they are often praised for having the "bravery" to do it. If you notice, most of the photos in these various "urban experience" books are done in Black and White, and this is for an important reason. It's to make Black people look like......history. As if innercity Black people are an endangered species who can't speak for themselves and their images must be captured before....the inevitable happens. The arrogance of it can really get to you. Well..... Atleast Arsenio Hall is back on tv, lol.
