This is not actually where I wanted this thread to go. I posted this from a thought I had from the Baby Boy thread.
Many there said they would NOT see the movie unless it came on TV, etc. This statement and others like it, has been posted before regarding OTHER movies, television shows, etc.
So, If "we" are all "down" to support OUR OWN, then doesn't it mean JUST THAT? Regardless of the business, venue, etc. Isn't John Singleton OUR OWN? Maya Angelou (referring to Down in the Delta)? That movie was a flop at the box office. Spike Lee and his movies? (and many countless others out there) If "we" really supported OUR OWN, then those and other "black" movies would be box office HITS!
I don't understand how one can say, yeah, I'm down, all I support is US, when that ISN'T really so.
My thing is, if you are going to profess something, be about it 110%.
Just an observation.
IMHO!
