Paul Mooney x Richard Pryor | The Only Black Guys Who Made the Scene in Hollywood

I have yet to read 'Black Is The New White'. However, July 6th a soft-cover of BITNW will have my name on it. Post-reading you can expect my red-cents-two-cents.

I have respected Paul Mooney's genius since I first met him in the mid-90's at the Laugh Factory. Know when you laugh at much of Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, In Living Color and the Chappelle's Show you have Mooney to thank.

I, recently, discovered the following two NPR interviews - now it's your turn to listen...


Paul Mooney joins Neal Conan to discuss his friendship with the late comedian Richard Pryor, and also his life and work. Mooney believes that stand-up is the only place in the entertainment industry where a black man can speak honestly, and shares his battles with Hollywood to illustrate his point.

O'Jays l Put Your Hands Together (Video)

Fulsome has not shut down... Simply, I am a father of a three-plus-week son/sun an thus bee-beaver-busy, ya dig?

My wife is a fan of music, not as exaggerated as me, nevertheless, moments ago while cooking red potatoes , pan-fried, hash browns (I'm a former head-chef too, word...) she asked me to play The O'Jays. In between filling the request I performed a deft internet search and found the latter embedded vid. Watching this video reminds me of the 13 months I worked as an consultant for EPA through CSC wherein I found salvage in Soul Train-lines. Whenever the work-week required 50+ hours I played Soul Train d-lines that I had/have saved on my portable external hard drive, to keep my spirits up. Who knew Soul Train-line watching was homoestatic?

More apt to the point, my cousin, Master Melquan who introduced Nas to The Large Professor which is how Nas landed on Live At The Barbeque and thus Illmatic was born, who DJ'd on Sunny Day In Harlem taped every Soul Train-line from the late 80's to early 90's - waiting until the last ten minutes of ST to record on VHS the ST-line. As a teens we watched hours of nonstop ST-lines while laughing for hours - therein this was where I developed my appreciation for the beauty of ST and its line.

...I'm still here ticking with time. "And yeah", (as the expression goes) put your hands together for my familial addition. 'Til next time...

Below find excerpts from an article entitled: Michelle Obama Comes Under Attack? by Pearl JR.
Many of us are noticing that there is really and truly an attack on the value, worth, and importance of Black women in the lives of prominent men. It has gotten so bold that Angelina Jolie is playing a Black woman, 70 percent of Black women are living without spouses, the vast majority of our children are growing up in a single mother household, sixty percent of Black men who earn over $100,000 annually are married to non-Black women, and now a group of White people have created, produced, and distributed a music video that insults Presidential hopeful's Black wife, Michelle Obama; who is now the newest Black women to come under attack to soon be unmated.
Yesterday, while watching Fox News, there was a story about a group of college White students who are posing as Barack Obama supporters that produced a music video called "I Got a Crush on Obama" featuring a sexy White chick lip singing because she was recruited from Craigslist to act in a music video.
Apparently, the Jewish looking female vocalist just wasn't sexy enough to persuade a response from the public or to get Barack Obama's attention they had to use a dummy to pull off this mind-twisting insult.
This video hails Mr. Obama as some type of sex symbol Mandingo that is swooning White women and White people with his sexiness and not his intellect nor his integrity. Forget that Mr. Obama is running for the most powerful job in the world, the Presidency of the United States of America, and put aside that he has a Law Degree from Harvard University and was the only Black President of the prestigious Harvard Law Review, plus voted in as the ONLY Black Senator in the United States Senate among many other notable accomplishments has now been reduced down to being the object of White women's sexual desire.
The scantily dressed White woman with the name of "Obama" on her butt must be to let Barack-ster recognize that she and the producers are aware that Black men like asses, or just in case, he's a tits man, her blouse is tight, especially around the breast area. Furthermore, there is zero mention of Michelle Obama nor his two Black daughters as if they don't even exists, or soon won't, because he is now on White women's radar.
Lastly, check out this comment that I received from YouTube, "if Obama is a true black man he would dump his colored girl wife and shack up with a blonde lady."
