Pause for Concern

Went to Norma Jeans last night to have fun night out and when I looked around I noticed  it was filled with 65% women, 30% men and 5% Dominant male women (women who display traits of men). When I say the black male is vanishing, from the killings, imprisonment, drug abuse, HIV-AIDS, suicides, diabetes and heart disease you have no-idea how serious this is. For instance, I went to film at a High school for an assembly and noticed that the class of 2014 was 70% black women.  This was truly frightening because all of the young girls were dressed like a cast member of the reality show The Real House Wives of Atlanta.  The absence black male from the future graduating class of 2014 was alarming. The Black population total including blacks in prison equal only 11% in the United States and its dropping.


The film, The Best Man Holiday showed black women that there are other options. It concerns me to see a race of people dying off. I made Charm City and Raising Wolves films to show what was happening to the black males in our society. I know men would watch a gangster flick before Why Did I Get Married but the stories carried a strong message, “look at what's happening to us”.  Everyone's quick to blame whose fault it is, but in the end will it really matter when no black women has a strong black man to lay her head on his chest at night. Throughout my adult life I've heard women say hundreds of times, they would lay down everything, if they could REALLY trust a true man to guide them.  All I'm saying is; how do we get there from here?
