Why are we still playing maids and butlers?
Because it’s a way for Hollywood and the Demons in charge to tell us what’s in store for us if we don’t wake the h____ up. Permanent servitude.

Well young lady,you seem very observant.lol But you’re correct though. That’s exactly where they want to keep our mindset. We are not destined to be the servants of other people. That is not the destiny of black people.

who said: ” I suspect many know what’s going on but choose to stay asleep. It’s easier that way there is no social responsibility to do anything…”
That’s what I think, I don’t think as many black people are clueless as they pretend.
They see what’s going on around them, they see the unemployment rising, they’ve even experienced a lot of racism on the job themselves.
They see black people being hurt and murdered by white police who always go free.
They know what “gentrification” means — forcing black people out of our homes and neighborhoods so whites can take over
They see things aren’t getting better for black people, but in fact, are getting worse,
and that’s why i think so many embraced a ‘black president’ because we could stay LONGER in denial and avoid doing the work ourselves.
Like that saying goes: “It’s hard to wake someone up who is pretending to be asleep.”
unfortunately, we are nearing a time when we won’t be able to “sleep through it” and will be forced awake with our eyes WIDE open and staring…

You’re right Pam. The time will come when they will have to WAKE up! We shouldn’t have to wait until that time. We should be getting knowledge now and getting prepared for what’s coming.

Thought provoking post, thank you for sharing. One would think that with all the wealth that a lot of these Hollywood Blacks have like an Oprah or Tyler that they would just finance the films that show us in a more positive light. All these black actors dying to work and we have great stories to tell, but all you here time and again is not having the financial backing…smdh! When Spike Lee has to do a Kick Starter campaign you know things are exactly where white hollywood wants it to be.
There has to be a better solution, and I know the reasons behind all of this is political. I would love to see what would happen if Oprah and Tyler teamed up to bring us the story of say Adam Clayton Powell!
Peace and Love.

You’re absolutely correct! It’s definitely political. They have to keep our people thinking like servants. That’s why I tell people they don’t spend millions on films just to entertain the public. A lot of it is mind control propaganda. Our people have to be aware of this foolishness in the film industry.

Yes we do have to survive. But we have to make better choices though. These actors didn’t have to accept these roles. They knew it would portray our people as buffoon servants. Where is their pride? Where is their self respect? It can’t always be just about money. There shouldn’t be a price tag on self respect.

@ Sondis,
I hear what you’re saying BUT I have to add again, that our behavior as black females is a MIRROR of our experiences and our programming
the same way black males’ behavior is a MIRROR of their experiences and programming
If we are expected — as black females — to view the black male with empathy and compassion because he is victimized by white supremacy
the black male MUST return the same empathy and insight he gives himself and other black males
Otherwise, the whole thing falls apart
Black males are no more forthcoming about their “trangressions” with white females (AND how they are being used and abused and conned and robbed by white females)
than black females are about being used and abused and conned by white males.
In addition, some black males, once they discover that a black female has had sex with a white male, see her as permanently damaged and defiled. This may be part of the reason many black females are NOT forthcoming about their sexual past with white males, or become defensive when black males bring it up.
There is one more factor that must be considered — if we are going to be JUST in our criticism of each other
The number of available black males VS the number of available black females
By available, I mean a black male who is:
1. self-supporting
2. single
3. heterosexual
4. not incarcerated
5. interested in dating/marrying a black female
6. interested in a committed relationship
Once you go down this list (and no, this isn’t a put down of black males, I’m just keeping it real), the number of available mates for the black female population is significantly reduced.
The reality is — there are simply MORE black females between the ages of 23 and up in the U.S. population than black males. Point blank period. That means a significant number of black females — if they restrict their dating to black males — are going to be alone OR sharing another black (or white) female’s black man.
Given that situation, it is to be expected that some black females are going to consider “other options” meaning, dating outside their ethnic group.
This is not something I’m happy about — given the DIRE need for black unity — but I understand it because black females are HUMAN BEINGS who crave love, sex, attention, companionship, babies, marriage — like any other woman on the planet.
Black males may have difficulty finding “Ms Right” but there is NO shortage of available “Ms Right Now” black females to select from. Black females have an entirely different (and more difficult) situation.
The mainstream media feeds on this imbalance (created by racism/white supremacy) by constantly portraying black males partnering up with white and non-black females, while promoting the idea of sex with white males as a BETTER alternative for black females.
It should be no surprise that there is a TON of confusion being orchestrated by the white supremacy system
Once we really understand that white supremacy is the real problem, we have to stop blaming each other for the conditions we did not create

@ sondis,
who said, “I just wished you had added “Scandal” to the list as there are so many black women that stand by this degrading TV show with its white supremacist, overtones.”
—-
It would be difficult for me to do a post on Scandal because I can’t stand the idea of watching it.
I realize I should but after stumbling across these “white man’s whores” scenes dropped unexpectedly into so many movies, I have had my fill of them.
I have heard similar comments from other black males about how (some) black females will defend that program (Scandal).
I think black males AND black females are very quick to point out the sexual misconduct of the opposite sex but VERY RELUCTANT to admit to our own. I wouldn’t call this ‘black feminism” because “feminism” — in my opinion — is the battle for white supremacy SPOILS between the white female and white male.
Black females have NEVER been a serious contender in that war, and are only being USED by the white feminist movement to promote their own form of white female white supremacy.
For the same reason, I don’t call black males “sexists” but I refer to them as “attempted sexists” because it’s hard to be a REAL SEXIST when you don’t have any power. What can a black male deprive a black female of on a collective scale — IF white people choose to give it to her?
Don’t mean to get too far off track but all of this was predictable,
with so many black females being DEPRIVED of images of black females as sexually desirable females in mainstream TV and movies, and with so much imagery of black males engaging in relationships with white females, it’s not surprising that (some, not all) have decided what is good for the goose is good for the gander
There is also that SECRET THRILL of being found “attractive” by the most powerful and privileged man in a white supremacy system — the white male —
I guess this could be compared to the same SECRET THRILL many black males experience when they are considered desirable by the female with the highest status in the white supremacy system — the white female.
When you think about it, our ABNORMAL attraction to white people is actually pretty “normal” considering ALL OF US — male and female — have been programmed from the cradle to the grave to worship whiteness.
the bottom line — BOTH the black male AND the black female need to “come clean”, so to speak, about our own double standards when it comes to sexual intercourse with white people.
Once we understand WHY we feel the way we do, and we start to AFFIRM and VALIDATE each other, we won’t need OR desire white validation from white people, and will be on the road to HEALING the damage caused by 500+ years of slavery and white oppression.
This was the reason we wrote the 2nd and 3rd books, “Black Love is a Revolutionary Act,” and “The Interracial Con Game.”
As tempting as it might be to keep throwing stones at each other over this issue, the REAL work that needs to be done begins in our OWN MIRRORS.

we must be careful not to fall into the trap of bashing each other
yes, we all have issues with the opposite (and same sex). We’ve all been hurt and disappointed AND we have hurt and disappointed other people (did we forget about that?)
We also have issues with OURSELVES — and how much work is being done on that front? Probably very little, which is why we often turn our condemning eyes on someone else, to keep from doing our OWN WORK.
we also MUST develop some empathy. The black male will NEVER recover his manhood unless he understands what it is — and it is NOT bashing the black female until she is an unrecognizable heap
The black male cannot degrade the place he came from — the black female — and expect to be WHOLE and SELF-RESPECTING. It just won’t happen. By respecting and empathizing with the black female, he will regain his self-respect and a path back to his manhood — that is my belief
the black female will NEVER recover her lost womanhood until she understands what it is — and it is NOT taking advantage of black males who are trying to do right by us
the black female cannot despise the man who made her — the black male — and still love and respect herself. I don’t see how that’s possible. That doesn’t mean we have to “love” every black person but we must learn to have empathy for each other
male for female
female for male
male for male
female for female
or we will become so PREDATORY towards each other (and this is already happening) that will be our SOLE response to the greater oppression that is COMING
we cannot fight each other and fight our enemies at the same time and expect to survive or prosper
white people won’t have to lift a finger to do us in
we will gladly do it ourselves

we cannot expect Hollywood — the land of white supremacy — to forfeit a game on the white chessboard. They are waging war on us. There is no recess or taking a break during a war.
It sure looks like Obama with his back to the camera, wearing the white gloves. I suspect this could be a backhanded, disrespectful way of calling him their ‘servant’ aka “The Butler”
they love making fools of us

Funny you mentioned that, I was looking at some youtube videos of girl groups in the 60s, at how well-shaped and attractive those black females were.
It seems so WEAK (minded) to me to have to find an overweight black female JUST to make a white female look good
what does that say about the true confidence of white people who run the movies and TV business in their own white “superiority?”
it says one hell of a lot.

Pam have you realized in all Tyler Perry movies he wrote when he demonize the black male and victimize the black females, all the black males character who was demonize was dark skin and the black males who rescue the black females at the end was a lighter complexion. I believe they pushing the lie that dark skin black male are the most violence but we know who the real violence one is mmmm.

Yeah Tyler has a pattern of doing that. Although I’m not sure he does it in every film. I did notice it in Precious though. In Precious,Mariah Carey,Lenny Kravitz and Paula Patton all played positive good-natured characters. They also all happen to be biracial. I don’t think that was by accident.

Yes, I noticed it in his first TV sitcom, “The House of Payne,” that the dark skinned people were uneducated, loud, “ignorant,” and overweight, while the lighter-skinned people acted more intelligent.
I remember when that sitcom first came on, it was a flop. Just as an experiment, I decided to watch an episode with the sound turned off for about three minutes (which is all I could take), and all I saw were black people stomping around, mouths hanging wide open, acting like fools, in the worst minstrel show imitation since the early 1900s.
After the sitcom flopped, the network started running it five times a week, three times a day, and I realized they were going to keep it on the air until black people gave in and started watching it because THAT was the anti-black programming they wanted in our brain computers.
And now, Tyler Perry has two or three sitcoms — ALL of them the worst kind of BUFFOONERY and stereotyping of black people imaginable. And some of us have begun to think acting like a fool is NORMAL behavior for black people.
Think about the name: The House of Payne
The House of Pain? Does being black mean we should be ‘in pain?’
Kind of like “Good Times” TV show with a poor black family who had few “good times.”
check out the lyrics to the theme song of Good Times:
*Good Times Theme Song Lyrics
Mmmmmm
Just lookin’ out of the window.
Watchin’ the asphalt grow.
Thinkin’ how it all looks hand-me-down.
Good Times, yeah, yeah Good Times
Keepin’ your head above water
Makin’ a wave when you can
Temporary lay offs. – Good Times.
Easy credit rip offs. – Good Times.
Scratchin’ and surviving. – Good Times.
Hangin in a chow line – Good Times.
Ain’t we lucky we got ‘em – Good Times.
Guess who wrote the lyrics? Alan and Marilyn Bergman.
The white supremacists love to make us look foolish almost as much as they love brain-trashing us.

As a kid the lyrics on Good Times went right over my head. Now as an adult when I hear it….it’s like WTF??? Like you said it’s nothing but brain-trashing!

I had the same reaction once I REALLY listened to the words and had a better understanding of how “entertainment” is used to degrade and confuse black people.
To GLORIFY the racism and poverty of black people in an “uplifting” song is pure, unadulterated white supremacy. And it really made sense once I found out that two white people wrote the lyrics to the ‘Good Times’ theme song. I was not surprised at all.
The Good Times theme song is similar to the song, Amazing Grace, which was REALLY a JUSTIFICATION for the enslavement of black people

“Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found; was blind, but now I see.”

A black scholar informed me that the song — written in the 1700s — was NOT about shaming the white people who owned slaves, it was about teaching the “wretched” slaves to submit to their enslavement.
Centuries later, all kinds of different interpretations were given as to the meaning of those words,
but when you think about it, the song was written by a white male slave-owner who owned slaves at the time he wrote it, so I doubt he was calling himself and other white slave-owners “wretched” (come on now)
and that song is sung all over the world in black churches by black people who are STILL practicing the same SLAVE RELIGIONS that the white slave-owners taught them — YET we wonder why we are still enslaved?
Sadly, we have not made the CONNECTION between a fraudulent SLAVE RELIGION with the face of a blond-haired, blue-eyed Jesus (which means God must be white, too) — and our CONTINUED ENSLAVEMENT, our collective low self-esteem, and our LOYALTY to white people even while we endure racism.
I believe this “worship” and “obedience” to white people is DIRECTLY tied to our SLAVE RELIGION and the subconscious belief that GOD IS A WHITE MAN.
I am not talking against any particular religion, I’m talking against PRACTICING the same SLAVE RELIGIONS in the same manner we were taught during slavery. There has to be something wrong about that.
That is the DANGER of not understanding white supremacy AND allowing white people (who often used black pawns to put a black face on it) to INTERPRET our history for us. Why in the world would we do that? Because we do NOT understand white supremacy OR how it works.

ms pam u did a great job on the radio show I enjoyed it, shoot I almost called in rofl. also with this movie, in the trailer they had like u said the gospel kind of music playing and I heard them mention mlk in there too, I was thinking they always play gospel music talk about jesus or mlk to get us to feel peaceful and compliant. The whole movie is to send the message that the best thing to do is lay down and give up, and if we fight back we are the bad guys. They are so sick, its crazy the kkk had a movie birth of a nation to promote them yet the black panthers don’t. So ppl bought into thinking the kkk was some heroes while the black panthers are evil when its the other way around. fight back u go to jail, comply and u get a movie made about u and maybe even a day. Its funny because even the ppl that didn’t fight back were killed, now they want the non peaceful ones to meet the same end. Malcolm x said “has made the 20 million black people in this country a dead people. Dead economically, dead mentally, dead spiritually. Dead morally and otherwise. Integration will not bring a man back from the grave.” they probably knew this as this quote just surfaced last year. And also what do u think about Mariah carey being in the movie as a slave? what message do u think they trying to send with that,could it be them saying u mixed ppl are next or will end up like the blacks if u choose them?
Now as for the Stockholm ptsd thing, I agree, I thought ptsd was just for ppl who experienced traumatic events I looked it up and it also said family members of victims can get ptsd. That is very interesting as I would assume the slaves passed their fear and ptsd down to their children generations onward to today. As we get told stories about the horrors of slavery before we are given the sex talk. So its not far off to guess the pain is still here, the pain from our black female slave ancestors feeling the pain of being vulnerable and defeminized and forced to wear a headwrap to signify her inferiority, and u compare that to today. Black women are wearing weave and putting in relaxer to cover up what society tells us, is inferior[our hair]. Our black male ancestors could not protect our female ancestors and that affects them today, sometimes the male slave would try to encourage his wife to get with massa if he made advances toward her so they would not be punished and whipped till they passed out. That shame of being unable to protect we see how black males like Russell simmons and toure make fun of our black female ancestors since they could not protect and were not allowed to protect them. That shame is passed down in the form of well she must have done something and they blame each other instead of blaming the thing that damaged them both. Instead of healing together as one they drift apart and go to those same ppl that damaged and abused them and ask them for validation, love, respect, and understanding. At some point these things must be faced and all these wounds we hide out of fear of being vulnerable and hurt and traumatized all over again must be dealt with so the next generation won’t have to feel that and can be stronger and not scared.

“the “good black” male or female sacrificing himself or herself for the good of white humanity (most Morgan Freeman and after-the-Oscar Denzel Washington movies) where the black person is surrounded by white people, does not socialize with black people, risks his or her life, and/or dies in service to white people”
You’re correct. That reminds of Denzel in Man on Fire. He sacrificed himself for a little white girl.
“the “good black” male triumphing against the odds without the support or even an appearance by a black female (The Blind Side, The Pursuit of Happiness, most Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman movies.”
Right again! Reminds me of the film Red Tails. There were no black women in the entire film when they were fighting the Nazis. Yet George Lucas was able to squeeze a romance in that film. Of course it was a black man falling in love with am Italian woman. Oh well at least he died in the end. That at least put an end to their “tragic relationship”.lol

What troubles me most is NOT what white people in power do to us, because they are WAGING A WAR against us, so they are going to do whatever they can get away with
it’s that we don’t seem to notice it.
How can a black person — especially a black female — sit through an entire 2 hour movie with black men in it, not see a single black female, and NOT have a problem with that? Or even notice it? I’m not coming down on anyone, I’m wondering are we that beaten down that we have accepted our own invisibility as black females?
I seldom go to the movies, not just because I refuse to support them financially and don’t want a black male to do it on my behalf, but another reason I don’t go is I will wind up spoiling it for the person who goes with me.
I refuse to sit in a movie with black males in it, and not see ONE BLACK FEMALE in that movie.
I refuse to sit in a movie and watch a black female uplift a white male over a black male.
I refuse to sit in a movie and watch a black male romance a white or Hispanic female when there are no black females being romanced by somebody.
H to the NO.
I refuse to sit in a movie where black females are made out to be the most disgraceful whores on the planet, like sleeping with the racist white male who just executed your black husband
so, I figure it’s better for me to keep my butt at home rather than start a fight in a movie theater (if you know what I mean)

unfortunately, I have to agree. If the Montgomery Bus Boycott happened today, I think it would fail miserably due to the high level of white mis-identification among black people
thanks to THOUSANDS OF HOURS of TV and movie watching, which is the same thing as getting a FATAL OVERDOSE of WHITE SUPREMACY AND WHITE IDOLATION.
Thanks to ‘integration” and “assimilation” and “interracial dating” many blacks see themselves and other black people through condemning white eyes and have become poisonously and dangerously self-involved, “individualistic,” and disconnected from other blacks who are all struggling within a racist system.
And that lack of empathy began during our slave experiences where black people learned to NUMB ourselves against the pain of seeing other black people raped, beaten, tortured and murdered before their eyes — their men, women, children– otherwise, they would have gone insane from the horror of it.
Actually, that experience rendered us mentally ill because we have NOT been allowed to recover from our 400+ years of slave trauma and the 100 years of horrible racist oppression following the “emancipation” that NEVER OCCURRED
I write about this in “Black Love Is A Revolutionary Act” — where I detail some of the slave trauma that we experienced, which is information that we MUST STOP avoiding if we want to heal ourselves.
If you Google the “Stockholm Syndrome” and the “Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome” and you’ll see how people react after they have been rendered helpless and dependent for only several days.
they start to identify with their oppressors
Now imagine BOTH TRAUMAS EXPERIENCED over a period of 400 HUNDRED YEARS
of course any people would be greatly damaged by that.
so you could call our “psychological condition” as blacks under the system of white supremacy
the “Stockholm Syndrome/Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome/African Psychological Holocaust”

I think the theme for this year is black people don’t fight back or u will end up dead or in prison. We see with the trayvon murder, he didn’t have the right to defend himself they made him out to be the bad guy a thug. Then with Christopher Dorner they hurried up and put a high reward out and got him. Then assasta shakur, they put her on the terrorist list, when Is killing one cop a terrorist act but going into a school or theater and shooting up a lot of ppl isn’t. And then with John mcneil the man who defended himself and had the police and everybody saying it was self defense but he still got locked up and was finally released this year.
Then in the trailer how when he was in the cotton field he told him don’t u lose ur temper with that man its his world. so we see how in the trailer he basically goes from stealing and having a temper to being a calm servant who obeys they probably won’t show why he was that way and what the cause of it was. And I also see how he said are u political mr gaines and he said no sir and he said good we have no tolerance for politics, funny because they got rid of vra which would limit some ppl from voting. Then see in the other scene he asked did u go to school and he said no sir I grew up on a cotton farm, and we see how they closing all these schools and kids dropping out, that could be their way of saying yall will end up like this. Then the part he said u hear nothing u see nothing u ONLY serve, hmm sounds like how they want us to keep quiet about racism and don’t say anything but continue to work for them and spend our money at their places, and how they closing schools, discriminating against blacks for management, and opening more prisons.
Its crazy they just attack the son and get all mad when he talks about the president and see how quick he is to defend the white president and his wife slapped him. They probably trying to say see its the n##s that fight back that are the problem the ones who put them in check need to be applauded. its funny that they couldn’t or wouldn’t fight back and chastise their son for trying to, and hurry up and defend massa and disrespect their own child.
I say whatever because they killed the peaceful black ppl and i’ll be damned if im silent and compliant while they march us into the gas chambers, if im going to be take out anyway might as well fight. No sense in kissin up to get a few more minutes.
