Saying you were done was enough for me to believe that you were leaving. Your reply shows that you are not done. O.K. good.

Now, all of this posting about not explainging yourself and not caring what people think of you is really unnecessary. If you really don't want to explain yourself, don't. If you don't care what people think of you, then let people think what they will. It's just that simple.

I'm sure you will feel the need to post to this reply since I quoted you. So post away.

I don't know any of you. Frankly don't care how you feel about me. This is a chat room. Get over yourself. Continue to due what you do to feel good about yourself. To each his own.

To all you GCs talking bout junior member nonchalant. With the statements that I make and my confidence. I'm here today to set the record straight. I don't have to kiss @$$. I don't have to perpetrate. So to all GC users that wanna talk about me. Making all that noise with accusations about thee. I won't stoop to your level and I will not call you names. Cuz it aint that serious and I don't play petty games. Be easy.

As I said, you will not prevail here so ------>

"Hold my mule!!! Hoooold my mule!!! I feeeel like praising, praising Him...yeaaaah....."

You're right. Don't really have to prove myself to anyone. I just felt the need to let that be known. Therefore, anyone else that feels that way can refer to the post. In my own words to co-sign with what you said, it really aint that serious.

lol@DSTChaos, hold my mule!!! I actually had to get an alignment on my car Saturday morning. Hmmm............?!?!

8:00 pm screening - Full

BLACK SORORITY PROJECT, THE EXODUS
Derek & Jamar Productions presents the first installment in a new two-part documentary series, The Black Sorority Project. "The Exodus" chronicles the life and times of twenty-two women at Howard University, who as students, changed the course of American history forever. By defying the barriers of race and sex, they courageously joined the Women's Suffrage March and formed a new sorority, Delta Sigma Theta, that grew to become one of the nation's most formidable women's organizations. The timeless voice of Tamara Tunie (Law & Order: SVU, As The World Turns) transports you back in time on a photographic journey into the world of these Howard co-eds in the infancy of their burgeoning group, in the year 1913.

Black Sorority Project, The Exodus leaves no stone unturned: light skin versus dark skin, the myth of black unity and the triumph of women's achievement against the odds. With cutting edge special effects, blistering commentary and a stellar cast of actors and scholars, Black Sorority Project is an innovation in modern-day storytelling and an untold chapter in women's history.

This should be interesting.

Sorors, I am sure that many of you have heard this by now, but for those who haven't. The official word from our National President is that the national board has taken no action to endorse this movie. She also requests that sorors do not participate in anyway that will imply endorsement or support by Delta, including forwarding the link about the Project.

Sistergreeks and Sisterfriends, I thought you should be aware of our stance on this, too.

This is only an observational point. Nothing more, nothing less.

The site in question is now indicating that it is planning to show open screenings during the Delta National Convention in Philadelphia next month. It appears that if Delta won't come to the filmmakers, the filmmakers will come to Delta. Go figure...

In any event, this will most likely be the ultimate litmus test as to whether or not this Executive "gag order" holds out by the membership.

Nevertheless, I hope all the Deltas who attends the convention have a great time and if any of you happen to see the movie, lemme know if it was any good, 'cause I am a little curious about it myself.

Carry on...

ladygreek · #86 06-14-2006, 12:05 PM

^^^^Yes, I saw that they are doing a screening on July 27. Our convention doesn't start until the 29th so most folx are getting in the 28th. But you are right they are promoting it as if it is part of our convention.

Did anyone see they have the question "Are you a member of DST?" Why? So they can show Nationals how many people attended the movie? Whatever...

And I also see they put a disclamer on there. If they would have consulted Nationals on this they wouldn't have to do that. Also, I want to know where they got their info from. ISOS?

For the sorors: A copy of Dr. Rice's letter is in the Members Only section of the national website.

I just want to see so I can make my own comment based on what I saw with my OWN eyes. I think that is the only way I can make a legit arguement.

ladygreek · #89 06-15-2006, 12:30 PM

A legit arguement about what? The issue is not whether the movie is accurate or not (which I doubt it will be,) but the fact it was made without our permission. And they will be making money off of us.

And from what I have been told, this is just their first step. They plan to do this with the other NPHC orgs as well. So if this flops maybe the others won't have to go through this.

Legally, a filmmaker doesn't need permission of the entity in question to make a movie portraying them.

Example in point.

The 1997 movie Titanic won 11 Oscars and amassed millions of dollars in box office receipts. IIRC, director James Cameron didn't ask the Cunard Shipping Lines (successor of the White Star Line) for permission to portray the ship and the disaster (although this was the 8th theatrical protrayal of the disaster--and in one of the movies Titanic's Fourth Officer Joseph Boxhall served as technical advisor in "A Night to Remember" in 1967--but I digress). Nonetheless, the movie was filmed, screened, and the rest is history.

Point is, I don't think these filmmakers are trying to capitalize off Delta any more than James Cameron was trying to capitalize off the White Star/Cunard Line. Granted, it would have been nice and would have served as a bonus if they did get Delta's NEB's blessing, but if not, so what? You cannot legally reserve the right (copyright/trademark/patent) to a historical event, which is essentially all this is and all this comes down to.

Just a thought.
