Media Mogulette On a Mission and Friday Foolishness #ijustcant

Oh Dear! I didn't blog because I've been spending my traditional blog time, mornings and evenings, working out and plotting WORLD DOMINATION!

But I made myself sit down this morning before I run out the door to do a post so as not to slow down the amazing momentum in the comments section over the past three weeks. It feels like old times again. If you keep blogging long enough, your blog will be reborn over and over again. Blogging ebbs and flows, you just have to ride the wave.

Right now I am on my media mogulette mission and still recovering from Blogging While Brown, but everyday new opportunities come my way. I hope you are experiencing the same thing, if not, we need to talk about some repositioning.

Foolishness #Ijustcant Blog About

I tried to make myself write about Leicester Bryce Stovell's lawsuit proudly proclaiming that he had sex with a 15 year old girl ( Lebron James ' Mom, Gloria) when he was 29 year's old, but #ijustcant.

I tried to make myself blog about Bishop, Minister, High Preist Jamal Bryant appearing on Omarosa's "reality" television show, The Ultimate Merger where she's engaging in all kinds of raunchiness and titillation,

I wish I could do a post about #churchfolksgonewild but #ijustcant. However if you want to know more about  allegations of Jamal Bryant's foolishness, the ladies over at Lipstick Alley are all over it as usual.
oh that legendary thread on LSA about him

Being Delivered from Jamal Bryant and Empowerment Temple

Details how he got babies with women that were not his wife while he was married.

part 2 is here

Been Delivered from Jamal Bryant and Empowerment Temple

Oh and that Doctorate is not real.

I tried to make myself blog about the NAACP in Missouri involving themselves in what appears to be a completely partisan lawsuit involving an alleged brawl between two groups of Black men,

Here is a transcript. I believe this is the local President:
Back in the day, we used to call someone like that, and I want to remind you, uh, when this incident occurred, I was really struck by a front page picture of this guy, which we called, a Negro, i mean that we call him a Negro in the fact that he works for not for our people but against our people. In the old days, we call him an Uncle Tom. I just gotta say that. Here it is, the day after a young brother, a young man, I didn’t mean to call him a brother, but on the front page of the Post Dispatch, ironically, he’s sitting in a wheelchair, being kissed on the forehead, by a European. Now just imagine that as a poster child picture, not working for our people. Gateway Pundit

Yes, he's making us look like dayum fools but #Ijustcant.

Hopefully all of this positive creative energy will have evaporated somewhat so I can return to our regularly scheduled programming of calling out foolishness and chicanery. I feel like Mary J Blidge when she makes a "positive" record and her fans complain that they like sullen Mary better :) I'm in "the zone" of creativity. Don't worry, it will soon pass.

On another note, I'm on my fourth screenplay, this one will actually be read by someone else since I am entering the Shadow and Act Filmmaker Challenge. We probably won't win since the screenplay is about Black women and whimsy and they tend to like things like Machete and Inception, but its progress. I went from writing for the heck of it during Nanowrimo and Scriptfrenzy to writing competitively. If I win we'll ( by WE I mean this blog community) have our first short film before the end of the year.

Gotta go sweat! Happy Friday.

This all reminds me of the Friday Funnies.

It's also sad at the same time. :(

Gina! How great about you entering http://www.shadowandact.com/?p=26186 I look forward to your film creation. Mogulette on! I love the positive vibrations and look forward to more :-)

Sadly, I must admit I was/am one of the fools watching Ultimate Merger. I know I shouldn't and there really aren't any reasons for me to do so in the first place.

Anyway, I damn near had a heart attack when I saw "he" would be the "spiritual advisor" on the show. Um, what?

The funny part is that I live in the DMV and I know a couple of folks who swear by Bryant. One friend even wants to visit his church. I had to tell her that I will not ever visit that mess. If I want to see some foolishness, I'll just open my living room windows. At least that's free.

Omarosa has a tv show?? Oh, dear God.

July 10, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterShecodes

yep, I too live in the DMV metro area. Rev. Jamal "I do what I want and God still loves me" Bryant is so disappointing because he really is good at ministry, but again, there's no one around him that really loves him, loves the church enough to really hold him accountable.

There's no one around him to tell him in no uncertain terms that God's grace ain't that cheap . . . . :( :(

Okay I don't have cable and/or watch much tv and the probably is a good thing. I am trying to figure out why Jamal Bryant is on that show. As for the NAACP in MO I am not shocked but I am a little ashamed. I am a member of the NAACP but lately I have definitely been rethinking my decision.

I now have even less respect for Rev. Jamal Bryant. I just finished some shopping at Amazon and I come across a book written by his sister, who is a nationally known expert on trauma, "Thriving In The Wake of Trauma."

What he has done has been traumatic for many people in many different ways. I am now totally through with all boot leg negro preachers! :( :(

lol, ones upon a time, the NAACP meant something. I did not know Omarosa had a show, talk about the stereotypical angry black woman. I used to cringe when she was on that idiot show, who made her famous.

July 11, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterHodan

The NAACP, USED to mean something, but they are NOT addressing the issues thats effecting the Black community as a whole: right now, they are NEVER EVER address the OOW problem or marriage problem, so, I think they're all 'smoke and mirrors' today. they are living in the past (pre 1980) when everything was racial related when today, its family related and theyre "AWOL"

I have nothing to say about the NAACP or Rev. Bryant...but I did want to thank Gina for her work. As a frequent black male lurker I always enjoy (if not always 100% agree with) her point of view. I think her dissemination of info on writing opportunities and encouragement is great. I look forward to her future big screen success...yep I am already claiming it for her.
