MOCK FEMINISM

the reading was really interesting and i enjoyed it, usually when black write plays or movies, they tend to want a black person directing it, however this time the director was a Caucasian and i wondered why she would want a white male to direct a movie about what goes on in the ideal life of a black woman. in my perception, i figured that i guess, she thought that he would have done a better job, but this goes back to stereotypes, how they say that black women are aggressive, loud and obnoxiously annoying, and white women are quite and respectful, so to see that in the film, a black man has a white wife, but there is a black woman who wont leave them, who wont accept the fact that its over is so stereotypical. i personally thought that the way they portrayed the ideal black woman was just not right, not to forget the fact that cigarettes were a huge part of their lives and alcohol.
we all have our own perceptions of how we perceive things and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but what makes the difference is, if what you think is really the truth or is that the way you choose to think.
