The Motion Picture Industry: A Perspective

By now you've read my maniacal rants about Hollywood and the motion picture industry especially when it comes to the colossal damage it has done to the image of African-Americans. I contend that Hollywood is no more than a propaganda machine that the elite of the world use in there war against everyday jack and jill.

No we are not the only race of people that have been shamefully maligned and denigrated. The Russians during the so-called "cold war," The Italians and La Cosa Nostra, and most recently Arabs and "radical Islam." Have all felt the wrath of the power elite in their attempts to shape America's perspective and make a hefty profit while doing it. That my friends is the beauty of it all. How brilliant that a vehicle like motion pictures can completely make young black men in urban centers throughout America look like undeserving of life savages, in a movie like "Menace to Society." Yet have the film rake in millions of dollars while doing it. Genius or maniacal?

I heard it once said that most geniuses are maniacs. But hate it or love it you have to respect the hustle. Because at the end of the day it's all a matter of perspective.
