A little Jazz anyone? Did she do the song justice or should a classic never be altered? ~ Sincerely, Me

You Hit Like A Girl   ~ The Dilemma of The Urban Black Female                 I’ll never forget a situation in Spike Lee’s movie “Malcolm X”, which turned out to be the most memorable analysis in the entire movie for me.   Malcolm X, played by Denzel Washington, was dating an educated, sweet and shy Black girl named Laura.   Although she gave him the okay to seduce her, he declined because he felt that she was too good for him and he didn’t want to tarnish her.   Good guy, right? Not quite. Instead he dumps (or saves) her and gets with an experienced and lustful White woman named Sophia.   To make a long story short, Laura ends up becoming a prostitute. Why, you ask?   Because she wanted to be desired as Malcolm X had desired Sophia.   It didn’t matter that he didn’t want to ruin her. What ultimately mattered was that he wanted the other more sexual woman. And thus she became her, or something close to it.   This brings us to the dilemma of the urban Black female.      

  So I decided to check out Wyandotte, MI....maybe one day I'll make it to Detroit. (maybe not! lol) What I learned about this place is, when in Wyandotte "Don't Stop" and be a tourist...people will look at you funny!!!     ~Sincerely,  Me
