Thank you - The website is updated!!

I'm surprised you believe the rumors and figures about Star Wars, Troy, since this involves MEDIA hype and manipulation. LOL Black folks are not that into sci-fi movies, are they? This genre is more the bailiwick of comic book geeks and Trekies. Horror movies, of course, do appeal to Blacks who like to yell at the screen when silly white characters decide to go see what the noise is in the basement of a haunted mansion. Time and time again I hear Blacks say in regard to any movie that they'll wait for it to be available on Net-Flix or Cable. Black women love all the prime time soap operas starring strong black women on network TV or BET or Oprah's OWN channel and Fox's EMPIRE, naturally. Working class black men, however, are into JORDANS. Many of them have been camped out for a couple of days waiting to be among the first to purchase the new EXPENSIVE Jordan shoe coming out in conjunction with a Michael Jordan memorabilia store opening in Chicago.This, for a greedy billionaire who, to my knowledge, gives back very little to the black community that is so loyal to him, and this along with how vindictive and class less he has turned out to be is why I am no longer a fan of MJ. Maybe the anti-white vibe to the latest Star Wars" movie can be attributed to producer George Lucas being "whipped". Do you know that this billionaire is married to Chicago entrepreneur Melody Hobson who is black?? Lucas is currently trying to finalize plans for a Star Wars museum to be erected on Chicago's lake front, a venture rumored to have been influenced by his love affair with the city where he met his future wife. He seems totally besotted with this sista who is very together and whose impressive resume includes being a contributing financial consultant on CBS This Morning. Chicagoland and this includes my home town, abounds with privately-owned Barbeque joints and Soul food places, not to mention all the fast food franchises some of which are owned by Blacks and all of which provide employment exclusively for Blacks and Hispanics.

HI TROY, THANKS FOR THE LOVE! I WILL EMAIL ALL INFO & THANKS AGAIN IN ADVANCE FOR ALL. THIS INTERVIEW WAS DONE IN 2013 AT THE MAIN BROOKLYN PUBLIC LIBRARY ON EASTERN PARWAY, & WAS AIRED ON CABLE TELEVISION. OWNERSHIP HAS ALWAYS BEEN IMPORTANT TO ME, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS I CREATED GHETTOHEAT JUNE 4, 2003. WE AS PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER TO REALLY MAKE THINGS HAPPEN IN A MAJOR WAY: WITHOUTOUTSIDE HELP & RESOURCES OF "OTHERS", AS WE ARE VERY STRONG, YET UNFORTUNATELY AT TIMES, TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT BY ALLOWING OTHERS TOHAND US MONEY, & IN RETURN, TAKING OVER WHAT WE'VE CREATED, & CHANGING WHAT WE'VE CREATED. A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF SUCH, IN MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION, WAS THE SELLING OF B.E.T.: BUT DON'T QUOTE ME ON THAT! :0) IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO CREATE A PUBLISHING HOUSE WHERE NOT ONLY WRITERS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME AUTHORS WITH FREE CREATIVE RANGE, PRODUCING QUALITY WORKS THAT'S NOT WATERED DOWN TO MAINSTREAM STANDARDS, AS AT GHETTOHEAT, I DON'T CROSSOVER TO MAINSTREAM, I LET MAINSTREAM CROSS OVER TO GHETTOHEAT, I ALSO OFFER EVERYONE HERE, 5O PERCENT SHARE OF ROYALTIES (FULL RETAIL PRICE AT $15), & LET THEM KEEP THE COPYRIGHT--I IN RETURN HAVE PUBLISHING EXCLUSIVITY OF ALL WORKS HERE. SO IT'S A PARTNERSHIP HERE AT GHETTOHEAT, OPPOSE TO TAKING ADVANTAGE OF TALENT & TAKING ALL OF THE PROFITS. I FEEL THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS BE FAIR, & OFFERING 5O PERCENT OF ROYALTIES IS BEYOND FAIR: CONSIDERING WHAT OTHER COMPANIES OFFER--SOME GIVING AS LITTLE AS 1O PERCENT OF WHOLESALE (SIX CENTS PER BOOK)...BUT TO EACH HIS OWN.... I'M ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY OWN OPERATIONS AT GHETTOHEAT, REASON WHY I'M ALWAYS FACED FORWARD WITH TUNNEL VISION. I'M NOW WORKING ON OTHER PROJECTS & PRODUCING PRODUCTS THAT WILL BROADEN THE RANGE & SCOPE HERE AT GHETTOHEAT, I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED, TROY ON ALL NEW DEVELOPMENTS! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS GREAT OUTLET AT AALBC, & I LOOK FORWARD TO COLLABORATING WITH YOU IN THE NEAR FUTURE! BE BLESSED!
