Precious Jewel

John Lewis was courageous and charismatic civil rights leader. No one person has endured quite as much. However, it is his work as a legislator that has made a long lasting significant impact. This is not to diminish the physical attacks that he suffered. The courage he showed as a freedom rider is the same courage it took to stand up to republicans and anyone who wanted to deny justice and basic human rights. He was a champion of justice for all. His legacy will forever be remembered. Barbara Lee also has an interesting documentary and it documents some of her work with the black panther party.

Absolutely amazing. I don’t think I have seen raw emotion this good since watching “The Notebook”. I cried, I laughed, I was hopeful and I felt their pain. The acting was top tier. Can we just shout out Zoe Saldana for being able to play a 20 something while in her 40’s? The time progresses over at least a decade in the show and she doesn’t skip a beat. She absolutely looked amazing and the actor who played Lino is 16 years younger than her.

This movie was hilarious. I loved Lauren London in it. It really is one for the culture. The people leaving negative reviews are uptight and uncomfortable with discussing race relations. It is one of the most authentic depictions of African American dialogue regarding interracial dating that I have seen. Also, I loved Julia’s character. Her tone deaf comments are everything. If I had a nickel for every time I came across a white woman who acted like this I would be rich. As someone who has dated white men I can honestly say that this happens. You just want to be seen as a person, not an exotic accessory. Anyway, watch it. You’ll love it. It’s not for the faint of heart or those who are overly sensitive.

So good. I honestly was rooting for Sweat. I don’t believe he killed the police officer. I think it was a case of wrong place, wrong time. He honestly would have made it to Canada if he had just left Matt behind sooner. Poor guy. Excellent show.
