You can see the film for free at the folllowing link, doesn't allow embeds. https://www.pbs.org/pov/films/howtohaveanamericanbaby/ MY THOUGHTS AS I WATCHED please tell me someone else watched this, maternity hotel industry in the usa, the 14th amendment is the key legally, but this is a messy thing. Some of these women from china are rich, they simply want their child to be a usa citizen potentially for the college thing. 4.6 billlion dollars from the chinese to the usa economy A chinese said the usa is god's country. A woman said where she is from in Yunnan, China, people starve to death. The funny thing is starvation isn't foreign to the usa, but people outside the usa don't seem to know that. I love how a man from china was shocked when his wife said she wanted a child born in the usa. and i concur to him , china is not somalia, china is not haiti, china is wealtheir than germany. To be blunt, black people in the usa always talk about how you have to figure it out. And the woman who suggested it to her husband, the baby died. The maternity hotel put her in isolation. I want to say Dr. Mo is making a killing. He has a public hustle. 3500 a baby. And he gets 20 broads a month at least. And the traffikers in china 40,000 usa dollars. from someone in china to make this happen. I will love to know how many rich countries populaces are doing this? If you have 40,000 usa in china, and you can afford to give that you are not poor. You crazy though. A chinese woman wanted a checkup for her baby and it is like a penthouse in vegas, but the woman said it right, suddenly you have a ton of chinese women having babies so the price goes up. the hospital wanted 170,000 but lowered it to 10,996.50 for total .They claim the guy selling meth right now is a bad guy. A woman that was a "boss lady" had a husband who divorced her so she had to sell the house she did maternity hotels in the usa. He is leaving her and the child they have together. The woman that lost the baby, she is a mistress. She came from a poor villlage. The guy is older. MY THOUGHTS AFTER WATCHING Most people in the usa or outside of it are financially poor. But for the wealthy who live outside the wealthy white european fold[USA= Western Europe], an imbalanced relationship with the countries they are from exists with the usa. The problem isn't wealth outside the usa, for the wealthy outside the usa, it is the safety net of descendants. I think of Mrs . Parkington. [free to view] https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2371&type=status And I realize through this film, a culture is growing or a heritage has been made, that the wealthy outside the usa have of wanting protection for their next generations. A billionaire in china today, can't guarantee a financial safety net to their forebears of the same quality as in the usa. To rephrase, paris hiltons and the like are less possible in china. Members of the black dos community in the usa who always talk about bootstraps to other black people shall love china then? right?

Why is she angry?

thank you @aMhayes Can you state which philosophical ways? no answer is wrong

cool @ModestoGarr hope t be a better poster in 2024

@ProfD yes, non black owned media in the usa pushes a negative + false storyline. But black media tends to push a false storyline, not negative in intention but a lie.

@ProfD Well, just for the record my point wasn't directed toward you but in media in the usa, black + non black.

I know one thing, every single angry black person in the usa was not and is not mentally ill.

The video below gives various examples , but please tell me yours. I ask cause i have my schedule for 2024 nearly complete outside two projects. One I am nearly there, but the other is still uncertain in my mind. The following video's arena of discussion addresses some of my brainstorming for something else. So... What fictional story will you like to see told through a different philosophical lens ?

Mace Windu and Qui-Gon Jinn didn’t always see eye-to-eye. But they respected each other and were friends; now, Windu will honor the memory of his fallen Jedi brother with a special mission. StarWars.com is excited to reveal Star Wars: The Glass Abyss < https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/735099/star-wars-mace-windu-the-glass-abyss-by-steven-barnes/ >, a new novel coming August 6, 2024, from Random House Worlds. Set after the death of Qui-Gon at the hands of Darth Maul, a saddened Mace Windu finds himself thrust into an adventure upon receiving a posthumous message from Jinn. The book is a return to Star Wars for author Steven Barnes, writer of the Star Wars Legends classic The Cestus Deception, as well as over 30 sci-fi novels and various TV series. “I was thrilled to be asked to write The Glass Abyss, with an opportunity to explore Mace Windu,” Barnes tells StarWars.com. “I was busy with television work…but how could I pass THIS up? A chance to wield the purple lightsaber? Hah! So, with the support of a great team, I crafted a story of mystery, adventure, betrayal, and romance on a new planet, Metagos, a seething criminal cess-pool that was once a thriving and beautiful world, a place where a single supreme warrior, willing to risk all, can make the ultimate difference. At all times I remembered there is only one goal in writing such a book: to be true to the mythos, and thrill the fans. To give them the fun, suspense, and heart-stopping action they've come to expect from one of our greatest mythologies, and create more of an inner world for one of the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy. I can't wait to share The Glass Abyss with the fans. Heck…I can't wait to read it myself.” Check out the cover and official description below! Jedi Master Mace Windu travels to a dangerous, remote planet on a mission that challenges even his deadly prowess—all to fulfill Qui-Gon’s last request. The Jedi are reeling from Qui-Gon Jinn’s sudden death at the hands of a Sith. Jedi Master Mace Windu’s feelings about Qui-Gon have always been complicated, and have not been made any simpler in death. While they often disagreed, Mace valued Qui-Gon's unique perspective, and their shared dedication to the Force made them allies. Without Qui-Gon and his unorthodox views, Mace feels out of balance. While considering his fallen friend’s legacy, Mace is surprised to receive a final message from Qui-Gon, marked to be delivered to Mace on the event of Qui-Gon’s death. The message contains a last request: a plea to help the Outer Rim planet of Metagos. Many years ago, a violent solar flare transformed the surface of the desert planet into a landscape of irradiated glass—as beautiful as it is dangerous. Now most of the surviving inhabitants live underground, where rival clans fight to control the planet’s limited resources. As a young Jedi, Qui-Gon protected the Sa’ad farming clan from the planet’s less scrupulous factions. The Sa’ad practice the art of dream-weaving, retaining their waking minds upon sleep in order to communicate and coexist with the wild creatures around them. Qui-Gon vowed to return if they ever required his aid, but now it falls to Mace to fulfill that promise. The Sa’ad’s leader, KinShan Nightbird, has begged for the Jedi’s help in freeing Megatos from the crime lords who threaten to eradicate her people’s way of life. Intent on fulfilling Qui-Gon’s final wishes, Mace travels to Metagos and infiltrates the enemies of the Sa’ad. But as the Jedi Master investigates the intricate web of adversaries and allies, Mace finds himself pushed to the boundaries of the Jedi code, challenging his beliefs and his relationship to the Force itself. Star Wars: The Glass Abyss arrives August 6, 2024, and is available for pre-order now. < https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/735099/star-wars-mace-windu-the-glass-abyss-by-steven-barnes/ > URL The Glass Abyss https://www.starwars.com/news/the-glass-abyss

The same year in which a white female director earned huge acclaim for her film barbie, Nia Dacosta a black female director has helmed The Marvels, a film that has become in media , not reality, the tombstone of superhero films. thoughts? I want to say one thing...the CEO of disney made an excellent financial note, not every film from marvel is going to break a billion, it shouldn't really, that is the history of movie making. On the other hand, while I agree with a reviewer [who used a different tone than the following] that films involving non white male christians in the superhero film world or multiracial casts has put off white male christian audiences, in the superhero realm which in disney owned marvel studios era was only two films: The eternals + The marvels, I argue is part of a larger problem. The problem isn't multiracial movies itself. Black panther 1 and 2 did great with a mostly non white cast. Marvel's two attempts at making films that truly had a multiphenotypical range of characters have both flopped. So I argue the issue isn't a mostly white or mostly black film from marvel studios, but an interracial film is currently problematic. Now I do wonder about the xmen , how that will work.

Will you display your definition of historical fiction @aMhayes ? I ask because one thing I have learned looking at what I call, the black film industry in the usa, is mosttimes, what black people do in an industry or artistic sector doesn't match what white people do but doesn't make it invalidated. To the example I suggest. Black people made so many home movies in the usa. And black churches were the traditional viewing place for black theater- shuffle along/black films- like oscar micheaux in most black communities, not theaters. so the black film industry with black churches as its traditional gathering place of viewing is structurally different than the white film industry. Same to black stage, where the black church is the primary viewing spot historically, so... To that end, are black people in the usa, writing historical fiction like whites? no. First black people do have an oral base, as zora neale hurston's works prove, because of our enslavement, black history/culture was emitted through oral means mostly till the end of reconstruction where the black community in the usa, went on a literary route, albeit with one flaw, being a discarding of our oral heritage and how to bridge it in the world of allowed literacy. So, I know in this very group @Milton does historical fiction, in the zone of biographical fiction So I think you are far from alone Amhayes, but the way in which many black artist compose historical fiction i think differs from ala morte d'arthur sort of arrangement.

I knew this, but good share

@Stefan I saw an opportunity for a photographer o be showcased and maybe even lead to a little gold, so I shared it in a black community online that should have those interested in participating or at least sharing Whenever I see an opportunity for black artists, i share it somewhere in aalbc.

MY THOUGHTS 0:10 Jill scott's character in this film is well known, I have only seen two tyler perry films. One is with a black woman who is with a wife beater, and the other is with a black woman who is using a black man's marriage as a cover for her mistresshood to a white man . But it seems he likes to have an abused black woman by a black man. reminds me of "for colored girls" 3:30 I don't think Zenobia shared why the relationship between jill scott's character and said character's husband bother's her so much. It is clearly negative but she wanted to say more i think 4:15 Nike, you found the relationship with the michael j white character side wife funny? 10:00 Zenobia, I don't exist in the circles where tyler perry films ar ebeing talked about alot, thanks for mentioning. 12:05 why have the tyler perry films become more debated now in the espace circles, in either of your opinions? 13:11 why did you show his image, the character that jill scott's character romances with? is he a hero or something?:) 14:49 do both movies explain why the guy who married jill scott 's character marry her in the first place? I don't comprehend based on what you guys said, why he married her, did she have the body of tyra banks or sade or kerry washington when they married? 21:17 red tomato:) rotten tomato:) Nike your hilarious, Zenobia, was the second film spinned off unrealistic? 23:36 Is the formulaic way of Perry why his alex cross failed so much? 28:10 all artist display their rearing or the reaction to their rearing in their work. it is inevitable. 30:32 Tyler Perry like SPike LEe like Robert Townsend, like the Wayans, like others before , all comprehend the industry and all have influenced it, But each have their own perspective based on their tribe in the village so to speak. the problem isn't that the black experience in the usa is complex, all black people or white people know this. but the black experience in media rarely reflects how complex it is. So black people who don't share another's experience call their ersion a falsehood or leser view, when it is merely a view from a different part of the black community. 33:35 yes in europe theater was a place for only male thespians, in japanese kubuki as well, 35:57 tyler perry comprehended that many of the older black thespians have followings in the black community or the white community of a certain age and supporting them provides a certain audience, especially of financially affluent blacks 37:37 great job covering all three films. Enjoy the Winter season! THE NEW COLOR PURPLE Usually when people talk about films they go into a what do they think . I will ask more blunt questions. After viewing the trailer for the new color purple, and after seeing the review of why did i get married from movies that move we... 1) Discarding who produced the film, Would you finance the 2023 color purple film as it is? 2) Discarding who produced the film, would you finance why did I get married/why did i get married 2? Both of my answers to said questions is no. If I owned a studio and I had to give money to make the 2023 color purple or tyler perry's why did i get married produced, I would say no to both. Now comprehend, I gamble the 2023 color purple film will like its predecessor make a ton of money. The original color purple film had a budget of fifteen million and make ninety eight million so black film goers loved the film and I expect them to love the musical with its cast. As for Why did I get married, the first movie i did not find the budget but it made fifty five million. While why did i get married too had a budget of twenty million and made sixty million. Now knowing the financial history, I ask if you owned a movie studio and were needed for the films 1) Discarding the financial profitability of the color purple films plus assuming you knew the profitability, Would you finance the 2023 color purple film as it is? 2) Discarding the financial profitability of the why did i get marrieds plus assuming you knew the profitability, would you finance why did I get married/why did i get married 2? Both of my answers to said questions is no. If I owned a studio and even if I knew these movies will be financially profitable and was needed to get these movies made, I still will not produce them. why this line of thinking? In discussing the preacher's wife I realized something is lacking in discourse in the arts. The owner. Too often people talk about liking a film in the mindset of the customer controls. but the customer doesn't control. The owner controls. No film studio produces all sorts of films, stories. That isn't wrong, that merely shows acceptable bias based on ownership taste. So in the same context, I feel for now the question is not whether I like a film but whether I will put money to a film if I was needed for it to be made. Answering that question reveals the truth about the customer more than the customer question which is foolhardy cause customers have varying tastes and if enough customers like a movie/theater production/book or some art, it will be financially a success, regardless to those that don't like it. MY REASONS... in a nutshell My top five movies answer explains my reasoning well but I will be explicit. The color purple is not the kind of story I want to see based on the time period. The why did I get married's black marital situations I don't want to finance.
