45 Years Ago Today.

August 28th, 1965 can be called one of the peaks of the Civil Rights movement. The March on Washington culminated with perhaps the most famous speech in American history- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's "I Have A Dream Speech". 45 years later on the same day, Barack Obama accepted the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. Who knows? If Obama gets elected, that speech and his speech on race might be as well regarded as Dr. King's speech.

September 15th, 1963, 45 years ago today, can possibly be considered one of the saddest days in the Civil Rights movement and American history. The 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing struck a chord with the American public. This crime still haunts a lot of people, including Secretary of State Condeleeza Rice. She was school mates with Denise McNair. Spike Lee's wonderful documentary, 4 Little Girls, should be required viewing in all schools.

Historical events like this put things in perspective for me. This event happened in my parents lifetime. This type of sanction hatred is what has scarred many baby boomer-black & white. The racial sensitivity concerning Barack's campaign is because these wounds are still healing.

I Love Blondes

I just picked her up yesterday. She's a blond, with a nice curvy build. Her voice is a full body sultry song. It can be sweet and sharp. I love to feel her up and down and make her scream. She is a sexy beast.

John Ridley Makes It Plain/Palin..

My dear friend, an esteemed television critic, raconteur and IBP (Intelligent Brown Person) sent me this link from John Ridley's blog, Visible Man. He breaks down the language code that is being used in the Presidential campaign. If you smell some race baiting, your nose ain't lyin'. Here is the other codebreaker list Mr. Ridley references from the website That Minority Thing.

My fascination Don Draper and Mad Men

I am fascinated with Don Draper, the main protagonist on Mad Men. He is played by Jon Hamm.

There are things that eat at you, late at night, when you can't sleep and the spouse/partner and kids are sleep. You worry about something terrible and haunting that creeps up your spine because of some secret you have. When you are younger, you can bury it and hold the beast down. But the older you get, the more weight on you carry psychologically on the outside of your being. The inner demon gets harder and harder to control and cracks begin to appear. Don Draper is the walking epitome of this feeling.

Last night's show really illustrate this in such a chilling way. This show is so subtle, it is truly disturbing. In the opening, the flash scenes in the "previously on Mad Man" are scenes from all the earlier shows that leave clues for airing show. (This is a unique technique I think. It is what keeps you looked in because every hint dropped can pop up in any part of the story arc.) If you have not been following the show, go get caught up. The cold part, for my taste was near the end of the show when Don is face to face with the comic (Jimmy) his advertising firm works with. Don is also sleeping with the Jimmy's wife. As the comic dresses him down in the most efficient and startling way, Don is dumbstruck. Speechless. Then Jimmy switches on his slimy showbiz smile as Don's wife Betty comes over.

Jimmy has already pull this act with Betty.
The leering smile Jimmy gives them as they leave is Joker like. Just chilling to the bone.

The other great things about the show is how the decorum of yesterday is so different from today. The sexism, the fact there are only brown people in subservient roles (one of the young account guys is the bohemian living in Hoboken and dates a black girl.), the smoking (yuck!) and the booze in the offices (my dream..). This last episode even touched on the environmental differences between today and the past. The Don and Betty, along with their 2 kids are having a picnic in the park and they decide to leave. Betty just dumps the waste from the blanket and Don chucks the beer can he finished in the trees.

This show is delicious.

Thank God for the DVR...

Tonight is one of those TV nights that feeds my addiction.

"Hello, I'm The HNIC1971 and I'm and information addict...."

Tonight I have the The Bears at the Colts, the debut of True Blood and the return of Entourage. Of course I have Mad Men on AMC.

Saturday Night Fights

It's Saturday night and TNT is playing Saving Private Ryan. The fight scene with the German and Private Stanley Mellish (Adam Goldberg) is one of the most intense fight scenes ever. Actually, this movie has the most realistic battle scenes ever caught on film. The D-Day opening scene is awesome. Here is the part of the opening scene:
