This entire Amanda Seales situation is so interesting to me.

strictly in my head,
amanda seales speaks to those who have been hurt and fed up by hurtful misconceptions.
she has a voice and is fully using it without any apology.
in black hollywood,
where many people have been ran over and stayed quiet,
it’s always interesting to see someone speaking up because we know how its gonna go.
many black folks don’t like it when you speak up against other black folks.
here is something i’ve learned throughout the years:

Some jackals in the black community expect to hurt you,
break you down,
and you are supposed to shut up and just take it.
They will try to fuck up your reputation and you’re not supposed to do anything about it.

if you’re a victim,
you’re turned into the villain or you’re soft.
if you speak out,
then you need to die or if you’re a black vixen,
you’re amanda seales.
you’re difficult,
hard to work with,
and a bitch.
in that sense,
you’ll be wrong in whatever reaction you give.
so we have to deal with racist white folks and opps within the black community.
my small issue with amanda seales is this…

this weekend,
i went far down the oj simpson rabbit hole than i should have.
i was a kid when all this shit went down so i wasn’t interested.
my mother,
grandmother,
and aunt were all locked TF in during the trial.

I remember my aunt having a tabloid that showed the entire crime scene and the dead bodies.

so i watched a few things about the murders of nicole brown simpson and ron goldman,
along with researching all kinds of “who did it?“ and “what was the motive?“.
it creeped me TF out but i was so fascinated.
i learned one thing about oj simpson that reminds me of some of these black males today…

when trash reality tv first dropped in the mid 00s,
fighting was the main draw on shows like bad girls club.
it was fascinating to see “real life people” doing this on tv.
when trash reality tv gave randoms storylines with lhhatl in 2011,
we tuned in because “such and such” had beef and by reunion time,
we just knew that they were gonna get “tah” boxing.
we have seen fighting over and over and over and over and…
you get the idea.
so when natalie nunn and joseline decided to act like feral animals on “something”…

When she danced with this hummingbird,
I nearly puked.

i forgot this jlo musical,
“this is me… now“,
came out today on amazon prime.

i had night terrors after what what i was gonna see.
so my thoughts…

after i first saw “mr and mrs smith” ,
i said to myself:

“I want to meet someone to have the kind of chemistry Brad and Angelina had.”

the chemistry and sexual tension dripped through the screen.
it was the looks they gave each other and the energy between them…

like the wolves i met shortly after that i had the same chemistry with,
it wasn’t enough to keep brad and angelina together either.
when i heard they were remaking it into a show,
my ears were already perked.

“Donald Glover and Maya Erskine – who I done never heard of.”

hmm.
it was an interesting casting choice for a movie that had two of the sexiest stars.
i just saw the teaser trailer for the show and…

so i’m invested in this show.
fellow travelers on showtime is my latest tv obsession.
when its not uploaded on time,
i legit want to speak to a manager.
foxhole…

This show is sooooooooooo good.

listen…
