Diddy speaks on Hancock
The only reason that blacks were oppressed was because we were tricked into believing that we were inferior. Everything that you've seen in entertainment from the inception of the motion picture was carefully put in place to serve as support to the idea that we are inferior. Children were raised not wanting to play with black dolls because they thought that the black doll was ugly. What was displayed to them in America as beautiful wasn't black. Then came independent thinkers like Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, Chanel Iman, and Ajuma Nasanyana. These women knew in their minds that they were beautiful and they can achieve extraordinary things. No matter how many times Ms. Campbell makes the news for her outlandish behavior I still love her. I love all of my people and I believe that we can do anything that we want. You say no we wont but I say that if we get over feuding with each other over foolishness and realize what has been going on in America since our grand parents paid pennies for candy then yes Jay-Z, yes Will Smith, yes Sean Combs, yes Denzel Washington, yes Sidney Poitier, yes Dr. Cornell West, yes SoHo B, yes Coolness P, yes Brooklyn Circus, yes Vinnies Styles, Yes Cheese Wagon, yes Brooklyn, yes Obama.
Yes we can!
Black is beautiful. I love you all.
