Sister Please!: Lauren London - Ignorance Personified

Continuing on our theme over the past few weeks of Black women behaving badly. Sorry folks, but the hits keep coming.

This time courtesy of Lauren London.

I love guys who are street. I won’t even give soft guys a chance. Menace II Society is my shit! Caine was like my first crush. Actually, O-Dog was my true dream guy. I was in love with him, from that opening scene where he pops the convenience-store worker. He had me from that gunshot [laughs]. He was ’hood, and I loved that. Sandra Rose

And miles to go before I sleep. Miles to go...So shooting someone in the head is attractive? You know that Caine dies at the end of the movie right? Ignorance Personified. So what is being produced to combat the likes of Lauren London? If Menace II Society is what she wants her mate to model himself after, which movies offer the other alternative?

So of course because demonizing Black women and blaming us for all that is wrong in the world is par for the course, somehow Ms. London's Ignorance has been imputed on all of us and we have been blamed for being witches and enchantresses who force Black men to break the law and commit murder. Who knew Black women had such power? I mean if we had mind control, surely we'd use it for something far more important.

As ticked off as I am at Lauren London spreading her ignorance with the masses, I do not accept the idiotic argument that Black women who love thugs drive men to engage in crime and violence as has been suggested by critics of Lauren London (Sgt. Willie Pete). Don't try to paint all Black women with the same brush because black men would be the first to howl at the moon if we tried to say that they were all like the characters in Menace II Society. All Black people, men and women ought to be rising up against the entertainment industrial complex. This tiny group of people in LA and New York get to dictate the narrow range of Black humanity that gets displayed to the world and the slice they choose to show got scrapped from the bottom of the barrel.

Ignorance knows no gender and Lauren London's is being used as a strawwoman to unlease a flurry of Black woman hatred over at Satan's Playground, YouTube:

What happens if a black man like myself
1. Have a job
2. Have 3 college degrees and working towards a PH.D
3. Have no kids
4. Have a nice car
5. have his own place
5. have a vision for his future
answer 0% chance in attracting a black woman! conqueror2001

I would not be surprise if the figures show 80% of black women single in the nxt 10 years. The African American female mentality is f#@ked up, ever from since Slavery, black women do not value the greatness of good EDUCATED black men, if they did, why is the black community so fucked up? Yet they are the Rock the foundation. So if they dating thugs and call educated black men losers, so what the f#@k is she? a princes a Queen right? Type in @ss shakin on youtube, tell me how many Queens you see. NYTHUG11226

That's why i don't even f#@k with black women anymore. Damn near every black female I come in contact with has that same damn mindset. I know all you are going to hate but this man is speaking the truth. Get a white girl like Tiger Woods or 75% of the n#@gas in the NFL.iramaj

Yep. YouTube is still the Devil.

Essential Presence's Video on Dunbar Village Makes the News

WAOD Guest Contributor, Symphony from Essential Presence was on the local news in West Palm Beach, Florida. They featured her YouTube video on the evening news. She's been on top of this Dunbar Village story in an up close and personal way. GO over to Essential Presence and check her out. See the YouTube Clip that started it all.

HAS YouTube Pulled Your Bynum or Weeks Clips?? FIGHT BACK!

FIGHT 'EM on it. Contact the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Juanita Bynum and her husband are public figures. Video related to sermons they may have preached or even portions of other preachers commenting on the Bynum incident in a public place ( IE THE PULPIT THIS PAST SUNDAY) Probably fall within the realm of what is called "fair use."

If YouTube pulled your clip, you can respond and try to have it put back up. TBN, Eddie Long, Juanita and Tommy "The Hit Man" Weeks may control their churches, but on the internet nobody can muzzle a story. You should have known the "church folk" would be trying to keep stuff under the wraps. Give it up already! What is done in the dark will surely come to light.

Whether you are quoting someone on your blog, inserting clips of CNN into your own video news report, or using a song sample in a musical parody, your free speech often depends on incorporating and referencing other people's creations as part of your own. The courts call this "fair use", and strong legal precedents exist to protect the limited use of copyrighted material in your work when you do so for expressive purposes.

Unfortunately, copyright owners often object to these uses, and may look for ways to take them offline via the legal system. A copyright cease-and-desist letter to your webhost or ISP may be all it takes to make your online speech disappear from the Internet — even when the legal claims are transparently bogus. Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Do these church folk really want to start a "holy war" with bloggers? Trying to hide your dirt, just makes it worse. I actually was going to stop posting about Juanita Bynum today, but this campaign to erase YouTube clips is noteworthy and affects us all. Somebody had better start saving these clips to hard drives before they are all gone. There is definitely an organized campaign at work to hide video. SMH?
