An AmenRa Films Production. This clip shows the turning point in the plot of the Wesley Snipes' production of the classic film "Disappearing Acts" which also starred Sanaa Lathan.Ocotber 29, 2007:I have allowed a sufficient amount of time to transpire, all the while, waiting for someone to make a serious comment on the relationships between African descendants in America.There were none that truly caught my interest, except for one, and unfortunately, it further disturbs the already fragile relationships amongst a group of people. Although individuals, African descendants in America have had their families crudely and brutally separated (fathers from mothers, children from parents, siblings from siblings,) in just about every combination you can imagine.Set aside the surname of the people, and surely African descendants in America, not ony share genetic coding/lineage from within all of North America, but family throughout Central and South America, as well. With an understanding of the slave trading routes will make this quite evident.Now about this scene, for which I had hoped someone would critique:Snipes' character had a beer along with his European American (or "white") co-workers, however, he was fired as an excuse because of a slight slip off a ladder. NO heavy injury, and small accidents are common on construction sites.With the litte money he had, he purchased tickets for Lathans' character. There is something to be grateful, regardless of the price you pay for the gift. It is the thought that should make the impact.However, money, finances, usually involving materialism, seems to be a destructive force in the lives of romantic relationships among the African (in America) community.Since the 1970s, the workplace has transformed to, using the term, hit "two birds with one stone" by hiring a "Black" woman (Race/Gender) to avoid accusations of racial or gender-based discrimination. This phenomena has had grave repercussions mostly for African "Black" males, and to some extent European "white" females in America. The majority of women on state-financed assistance or "welfare" are "white" European American women.For "Black" women to not have recognized this shift, and furthering it by suggesting in much of the national dialogue in magazines, television shows, and interpersonal conversations, with that "Black men ain't shit" philosophy (*NOT all think this way) because of the high unemployment rate amongst "Black" males is a form of mental genocide. Public Enemy coined it as "she watch channel zero."Only a socially and politically unconscious woman, of any racial or ethnic background, would spend $100 for a pair of tickets, and thereby raising the total cost of the show to about $150.Not only did she waste her own hard earned money, but she wasted his money. The total cost combined in currency is valued at about $150, which is now $0 - and so is their relationship.She never "for once" thought of his gesture, at a time when they both needed the money the most, especially since he was newly unemployed.The financial waste in dollars is a small price in comparison to the collateral damage that occurs every single day, somewhere, and at any time in America.His gift to her was an extension is common of praise between lovers, but her rejection was cruel and offensive, and for no other reason than arrogance and vanity. Domestic abuse, verbal or physical, usually has some of the evils of money involved, and yet, only a few seem to get the "big picture.""Black" women and men seriously need to get their act together in this new millenium we've all been introduced to 7 years ago, or pay dire consequences the hells of the American holocaust of enslavement has never presented.If only African women and men in America would pay less attention to this:www.essence.comAnd more attention to this:http://www.palenquedesanbasilio.com/f...Then, maybe - maybe, change and reconciliation is possible. If that is not enough, then maybe taking a stroll through this may help:www.niggermania.com
