It was recently reported that Patrissa Cullors, a founding woman of Black Lives Matter, was signed by Warner Brothers to a multiyear deal across all of its programming platforms that “encompasses scripted and unscripted series, longform series, animated and kids programming, as well as digital content.”
In a statement released by Cullors after the signing, she mentioned that a reason for celebration is that “Black voices, especially Black voices who have been historically marginalized, are important and integral to today’s storytelling.”
Historically, yes. Contemporarily, no. (This begs the question: Why are most examples of oppression from the past?)
Log onto any Hulu account and a unique feed called Black Stories will populate one of the scrolls. A similar feature appears in Amazon’s Prime Video feed, with a scroll for Black Voices presenting a bevy of black-produced, black-directed, and black-acted shows and films. Netflix also cut right to the chase; they had an entire genre created for Black Lives Matter. If black voices are absent or underrepresented in the media, it is hard to tell by looking at every major media presence.
Cullors’ signing is reminiscent of a similar deal between Disney and former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. In early July, the former signed a deal with the latter in which he “will see his projects distributed across all Disney platforms which include ESPN, Hulu, The Undefeated, Pixar, and The Walt Disney Co.” Like Cullors, Kaepernick expressed that he was excited to “elevate Black and Brown directors, creators, storytellers, and producers, and to inspire the youth with compelling and authentic perspectives.” Apparently, he had not yet seen the scroll feeds on his Netflix account at the time of making that statement.

The blow gun??
I kept the back picture covered, while I extolled the greatness of Dr. Williams. Upon completion, I showed the class his picture. I was amused by the reaction of the black students...they appeared a bit flummoxed.
Dr. Williams sent me that book, and several pocket Constitutions, after I sent him a letter thanking him for appearing as a guest host on Rush Limbaugh. We were driving to El Paso for Thanksgiving, so my son had no choice but to listen. He really got into it, as Dr. Williams talked about the discipline he received from his mother. She'd walk him to school if he misbehaved. My son learned a lot from him during those 3 hours.
If after reading a piece I think of another related question that wasn't directly implied by the piece or wasn't obvious, that question wasn't begged. I've raised it.
The brothers Warner are rolling in their graves.

"If it bleeds; it leads" is their underlying mission statement.
They just HAVE to show 'bad things being done' to the world.
It's too bad that SO many of those things are done by black folks; that it colors the concept we honkies have of them.
They can run all the propaganda they wish with the 'regularly scheduled programs'; but that is not enough to wipe out the 'news'.
We have come to realize that if a description of race of any suspect is omitted; one can fairly well assume that it is; well; you know...
The vast majority of it is crap.
WTH does the skin color of the people producing the crap, starring in the crap, writing the crap have to do with it?!
Crap is crap.
