It got so heated I ran in the house grabbed the camera and started rolling film (I'm debating on wether or not to keep it on me at all times, cause people get all riled up whenever I try and open dialogue about the subject matter). I live in a upper-middle class community with what appears to be none of the stigmas that are associated with the urban and inner cities, with the exception of one. THE ATTITUDES! While the names and faces may have been changed the perceptions are rampant, I had 3 women basically try and beat me into a UFC style submission over just one issue (the percentage of black men engaged in homosexual or bisexual behaviors) Thank god i didn't bring up interracial dating. Looks Like I got my work cut out for me, cause while my perception is that I'm going to have to fight an uphill battle establishing the premise that some of the facts laid before us are not representative of what is real, the perceptions, well watch this little clip and you'll get a feel of what's festering in black suburbia.

OBTW...I need to mention that you, my family at 2old2play are probably the only people who are getting the insite behind the processes, premises, the positioning (alot of the pre-film hype should play right into the fears and perceptions that permiate) and the finale postulates for progress. I'm puposely painting the picture this way to expose' the fallacies and reveal the truths behind what is really happening. your opnions are generally balanced and slightly removed from the innate biases in my community, so any feedback and input is genuinely appreciated!
