My Girl, Chelsea

I love Chelsea Handler.  I literally remember the very first time I saw her.  I was walking past the t.v. late one night,  and was stopped cold by this pretty, blonde, utterly expressionless  white woman, saying the funniest, bawdy and biting things but with no apparent connection to ANYTHING.  Not her words.  Not the audience.   Not her own beauty..... but she was HILARIOUS!  I knew I had stumbled upon the launching of a star but it was like some kind of optical illusion!   The anger roiling inside her was so clear to me, it was like seeing a ghost no one else could see. "Man!" I thought as I stood there.  "This is probably the angriest white woman I've ever seen! She's so LOADED with rage!"  But I... like so many other millions... instantly connected to her.  Maybe because I suspected that she could ALWAYS see the hypocrisies of the world and had spent a lifetime trying not to.  She is, after all, a brilliant woman.

  Beauty. Boldness. Brilliance.... yeah.  I'm totally Team Chelsea.

 Since then, I think I've read EVERY one of her books, over the years, and laughed my butt off.

 Her LAST book, however,  "Life Will Be The Death Of Me", was surprisingly introspective!  Though characteristically funny and sarcastic, Chelsea very candidly takes us along through her reluctant dive into therapy and allows us to discover WITH her, her previously unexamined life.

Ya know,  Socrates said that, "an unexamined life is not worth living".  Chelsea has clearly decided to take this seriously.

  In the past,  she's taken us with her through her bedroom romps, drug trips,  and it's abundantly clear to me that only Jesus can give her the wholeness she's seeking (and I pray that for her), but COURAGE and HONESTY are definitely two things Chelsea has NEVER lacked. And THAT'S what makes me love her.

This documentary is typical, passionate,  headstrong, Chelsea (who another female comedian hilariously labeled,  "The Martin Luther King of Drunk White Blondes"-- That has got to be one of the funniest lines I've ever heard in MY LIFE! LOL... but I digress)

So anyway, In one of her interviews, years back, she recounted an injustice her Black driver experienced.   She was genuinely, visibly shaken to her CORE about how he would be subjected to that, and even more so, how she could be so oblivious to it.  She vowed to him and herself that she would fight this systemic racism, and when Donald Trump got in office, her rage went into overdrive.

 Hell hath no fury like a woman whose Black Driver is scorned.

But it's bigger than that, because CHELSEA is bigger than that. Her therapist identified her as "lacking empathy". This documentary is clearly the fruit of that.  Chelsea taking the bull by the horns to not only put herself in other's shoes, but making others, with the luxury of oblivion, do so too!  USING  her "white privilege" to strike some heroic blow at it.

You GOTTA love Chelsea! I'm gonna get Netflix just to see it!... and Dave Chappelle's "Sticks and Stones" too! Way to use your STAR POWER! :-D

From Michael, To Cosby, To Prince, Now Cuba..The Latest "Willie Horton"

Ok, gotta say something AGAIN.  Met Cuba Gooding years back, in L.A.  Nicest guy in the world.  Great conversation. Told him to WAIT THERE (in the aisle at Office Depot) while I went to get him a copy of my CD from my car.  He did! (Another reason I didn't want him to move was I had passed gas in the next aisle and I didn't want him to take one step toward it.  LOL!)

 So, anyway, I got the CD. I RAN back because I TRULY didn't want him to fall out by walking into the bomb I'd left just a few feet away.  I was RELIEVED to see him still obediently standing there.  Cheerful.  Nonplussed.  Without a single air.  When I tell you THIS OSCAR WINNING ACTOR radiated innocent, joviality, it cannot be overstressed.

He not only patiently waited for a stranger to bring him her CD, but stood there without the least bit of self consciousness.
 He wasn't trying to get people around to notice that "the great" Cuba Gooding was there... he wasn't trying to rush me off... Instead, he seemed genuinely interested in listening to it!

We talked about music ( his father being a member of the R&B group, The Main Ingredient), he wasn't trying to flirt, or pick me up in ANY way.  He didn't even seem to be humoring me so I would tell his fans how "nice" he was (many do that, you know).  No.  He just stood there, chatting it up like an "average" person in the aisle of Office Depot!   Just ACTUALLY NICE!

I saw the video of the alleged groping.  His girlfriend was sitting next to him and not only the accusing woman, but the man who came up to join her, were CLEARLY wasted.

That NYPD and the MEDIA wanted to drag this CLEAN CUT BLACK MAN with an exemplary image, across the headlines IN HANDCUFFS is just one more stroke in the AGENDA to dismantle the image of Black people in the eyes of the world.

Just like in schoolyards and prison yards everywhere... you strike down the HEAD and the rest will lose heart... The powers that be, have taken "down" Cosby... Michael Jackson... Prince... and now Cuba Gooding is the latest on their list.  Once you ruin THEIR images... those "most trusted" Blacks in the eyes of the masses... you cast ample DOUBT over the entire RACE.... and you then can begin to get their approval for Draconian laws to remove our rights.

This is how they advanced slavery.  Whites were initially against it.  The Greek Philosophers  had long praised the African as a superior civilization so whites couldn't justify enslaving such an advanced people.  So, the powers that be hired Francois Bernier to write "The Doctrine Of White Supremacy" REPAINTING Africans as savages and lower life forms.    Eventually, over the years, people, indoctrinated in this "ministry of Propaganda", forgot about what the Greek Philosophers had written, and began to approve of the slave trade.  After all, they weren't "actually" human.  They were only ignorant savages!  TODAY'S MEDIA is the new "Doctrine of White Supremacy".  DO know there is a REASON they replaced shows like The Cosby Show and A Different World with Love and Hip Hop and Desperate Housewives of Atlanta.  I just wish OUR artists and producers would stop CONTRIBUTING to the media garbage heap.  The steady of stream of "mind poison" has a very nefarious long term goal.    This is a PLAN.  DON'T FALL FOR IT!
