The Original Kings of Comedy

2000Spike Lee

4.1/5

February 26 and 27, 2000, the Original Kings of Comedy play Charlotte, NC. The themes are Blacks and Whites, men and women, old-school and hip-hop. Steve Harvey emcees, celebrates '70s music and lyrics of love, and pokes at folks in the front row. D.L. Hughley mines racial differences and talks about his marriage. Cedric the Entertainer riffs on a Black president and on being grown up. Bernie Mac, who says he expresses what's in the back of our minds, closes with reflections on being 42 (new aspects to his sex life and his attitude toward children). Spike Lee's camera takes us backstage and off-stage with the Kings and into the crowd where everyone's laughing.

Celebration of colour:Love for melanated royalty

I always have and always will feel and had a kindred love for brothers and sisters of a richer hue,from the never ending harlem renaissance to the works of Schhomburg and Jones to the kids out in Decatur and the suited up FOI selling bean pies for brother Farrakhan.from griots to presidents and ghettos to high rise apartments this is not my experiences just my observations not my place to understand and sympathize but to empathise with a class/group/culture/tradition/and history most fluid and highly regarded by myself and others. Not my life to live but I love who I love and I am a part of this story and an objective observer as well as a student and lover.

Best Movies about Race in America

A comprehensive list of the best movies that capture one or more facets of the complicated history of race relations in America. No one film can say it all, but these narratives help untangle the complicated web of emotions that have yet again bubbled to the surface with the police brutality towards George Floyd and countless others.
