Akeelah and the Bee (2006)
Simply The Best Family Movie Ever !
Real Brother here.
I had nothing to do with this film other then to rail on the studios including LionsGate for years imploring them to make better Black movies and to stop thinking that Black people were stupid and couldn't accommodate a good movie.
This movie was NOT about a Spelling Bee. This movie is about how so many Black people are convinced that our Race is genetically inferior due to 450 years of Slavery, Racism, Discrimination and Oppression that causes us to reject our Race, Heritage and Culture and that rejection of who we are causes us not to fulfill our potential.
Now White Supremacists will cry foul because they feel any attempt to even explore the differences between the Races and to suggest that 450 years of White Supremacy has had an impact on society aren't gonna like it but we must bring this issue to light.
I cried all throughout the film, it was brilliant.
I know a White man made the film but so what he did an excellent job and he respected Black people enough to allow them to be who they were.
This film is significant there are Oscar worthy performances and this is uplifting to everyone who loves this Country and ALL of its people.

The Urban Demographic (2005)
This Film Was Deep Ya'll !
Real Brother here.
The Urban Demographic is a well done feature film that actually gives Hip Hop music the people who make it credit for having some sense. The story centers on this one Sista' who is trying to follow her dream, not to be a Rapper vs. a cold blooded killing and criminal like all the corny movies like that but to go from being a menial office worker (a receptionist at a Jazz Label) to a on-air personality on the radio.
Its a rags to riches story but it also focuses on the dynamic between a Sista' on the rise and her inter action with the Brother in her life who may not be on a track as fast as hers. This is a story that has never been explored in film which is what makes it interesting.
Its too bat the Producers and Distributors of the film were so short sighted that they didn't realize what they had and rushed it out on home-video instead of cutting the negative raising some promotion and marketing money and taking it to the festivals so that the film could get a theatrical release.
Its a movie that all demographics can enjoy.

Something New (2006)
Black Self-hatred And White Supremacy, Disgusting !
Real Brother here.
I'm not going to recommend that people not go and see this film. For as hate filled as it is its still a Black film. For some reason the White Supremacists in Hollywood had decided that any film that degrades and humiliates and emasculates Black men is the formula for success.
From Diary of a Mad Black Woman to Big Mamma's House to Something New, the Black male is made out to be a degenerate and effeminate buffoon and incompetent and inferior to the all mighty and Superior White male. Black women who so fervently want to believe that Black men are worthless and useless and all on the DL and headed for a life in prison or with a White woman eat this stuff up and its nothing but Self-hatred.
This White Supremacy and Black Self-hatred threatens the health well-being and survival of the Black Race and we need to stop supporting it.
Its Genocide pure and simple.
There is no Black male shortage, all there is, is a Black male who aren't White who don't play for the Lakers, who don't have a million dollars (and a PHD in Nuclear Physics) shortage.
My problem with this movie is that Self-hating dysfunctional Black women who hate themselves feel that their dark skin and nappy hair is ugly and undesirable and wish to have babies with light skin and "good hair" wish to instead of address and seek help for their hatred of self, and feelings of inadequacy but instead wish to run to White men who are more then willing to take advantage of their low Self-esteem.
In the movie the Sista' is getting attention from all kinda' Brothers good Brothers (now of course for dramatic effect they have to play the Brothers out as they always do) but of course they aren't "good enough" read "White enough".
The very fact that more emphasis is placed on a White (Supremacist) man sexing and taking advantage of a Black Self-hating Sista' then a loving Black man who values his Race, Culture and Heritage is what's really tragic about this movie. I'm serious instead of choosing gay Black men and Self-hating want a White woman Black men why not simply tell the Self-hating Sellout Sista' to check out a Real Brother ? But no that would be too much like right.
And Black people placing a worth and value on the Black Race and asserting our right to exist and not be bred out of existence vilified and dismissed as insignificant is NOT Racist.
Black people wanting to maintain the sanctity of the Black family and promote healthy relationships and NOT relationships based on stereotypes and nonsense are NOT being Racist.
The Black Race is the only Race that actually cheers and whoops it up at the prospect of destroying and breeding itself out of existence and again, its tragic.
