It explores the Korean Take-over of the Black Beauty Supply and Hair biz..

The current situation makes it hard to believe that Madame C.J. Walker once ran the whole thing.

I am not a hater, I am a motivator.

Plus I am a White guy who stumbled upon this, and felt it was so wrong I had to make a film about it.

self-funded film, made from the heart.

Can it be taken back?

As a dark-skinned, racially unambiguous black woman, Michelle shows us that real beauty doesn’t stop at a certain hue. She is an ivy-league educated lawyer whose proudest title is “mom-in-chief” to two of the most adorable little girls alive. She is the rock of the soon-to-be most powerful man on the planet. She shows us that black men like Barack can and do marry black women like her. Finally, she is proving that black women can be feminine fashion icons in their own right. My own personal affinity for the future first couple is intensified because she and Barack remind me of me and my hubby — we’re law school sweethearts.

I tire of media images of black women either being Flavour of Love rejects, sexually promiscuous baby mammas, or big bad security guards that will knock you out. I am glad we finally have a real life personification of the fictitious Claire Huxtable.

ALL HAIL QUEEN MICHELLE!

You bring up interesting observations. First Lady Michelle Obama is in a unique position to redefine our perception of that position.

I appreciate that Michelle has tentatively defined her role as ‘first mom.’ I trust that putting the children first becomes a mantra for those mothers (single and/or married) who may be encouraged to prioritize the nurturing despite working outside the home and having career aspirations.

For those women who can choose to stay home and/or work part-time, Michelle’s role as ‘first mother’ may validate their decisions to ‘mother first’ while also fulfilling other active roles in community building through volunteer efforts.

I want to say that we as black people still play into the stereotype that we’re all the same because we’re black. We were all kind of raised the same way and so on. We have to be real with ourselves and acknowledge that we’ve been raised in the hood, the country, small towns, suburbs, big cities and that that’s okay, instead of criticizing each other for it feeling that if you don’t live one way, you’re not black enough or ghetto. Look, even before we’re brought over on the boats we all came from different tribes/people who has different ways off doing things.

I know the comments in the blog that you’re referring too and I didn’t see the big deal either. If the hair is long enough cornrows pulled back into a bun is actually quite nice and professional looking. Soul food is food just like anything else. The only thing that makes it look laid back is when we put it in those huge foil pans for barbecue’s and other events and I think that’s what we seem to associate it with along with the Styrofoam. Put all that stuff in some nice stainless steal, good silver catering dishes and no one would know the difference. Do other countries discuss what food is appropriate? Why shouldn’t we be open to having others try the different foods that different areas of the country. I feel if we can go over to their countries and eat sushi (raw fish, which I’ve had a craving for some weeks), escargot (snails) and whatever we may be served, they can have some sweet potato pie and greens. They could possibly even enjoy it (but let’s be real not everyone can cook greens so we need someone who can put their foot in it). I think as long as we aren’t talking serving Mickey D’s, its perfectly fine. Although it might be funny to see dignitaries/prominent world leaders sitting around tables in tuxes and ballgowns eating a large fry and Big Mac.

Closing, I think we have many Claire Huxtables. They’re all just not lawyers
