'Black-ish' confronts police brutality in new episode
Police brutality isnât standard sitcom fare.
Nor is it treated as such in Wednesdayâs episode of ABC comedy Black-ish (9:30 p.m. ET/PT), which centers on an affluent African-American family living in a mostly white neighborhood.
The episode, titled âHope,â doesnât chase headlines so much as it explores how parents often struggle to talk to their kids about lifeâs thornier issues â in this case, a fictional news story about an unarmed black teenager selling DVDs who is tased dozens of times by a cop.
The episode was inspired by a real-life predicament that creator Kenya Barris faced in late 2014, watching the news with his family when riots broke out in Ferguson, Mo., after police officer Darren Wilson was not indicted for the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
âMy second-youngest son looked up and said, âWhy are all these people so mad?â â Barris says. âI wanted to say something super inflammatory and my wife felt like she understood where I was coming from. But at the same time, she was like, âHow can you tell our kids that? They still have to live in this world and havenât had your experiences.â â
âMy family is still living in Compton and in Watts,â he continued. âAnd him seeing how they live and juxtaposed to how heâs living his lifestyle and what he sees going on with young black men around this country and thatâs not his experience.â
I think ABC has latched on to a winning formula with Black-ish and itâs other sitcoms where diversity can be made the focal point of the comedy. Black-ish, Fresh Off the Boat, The Goldbergs and Modern Family are all family oriented sitcoms of people with diverse ethnicities and lifestyles. They provide the viewer with some insights into how people of various backgrounds live, in a lighthearted and amusing way. I think itâs great way to make white people be in black peopleâs shoes. When people watch movies or sitcoms, they empathize with heroes and understand better their feelings.
These men refused to clap for Jenny Beavan, who won an Oscar for costume design in Mad Max: Fury Road because she was rocking a leather jacket instead of a dress to the Oscars. But look at her confident walk!Â
What a bunch of stuck up pricks
For real though. đđđ

What are some of your favorite films directed by Black Women?

Why Black Women Film Directors? (via New Model Minority.com)
NY Times article on Black Film in the early 1990âs titled âTheyâve Gotta Have Usâ by Karen Grigsby Bates
Note: There will be a few blog posts on Pariah and Black womenâs directors over the next few weeks as I move like a squirrel with a flashlight trying to finish this paper. I cannot have boss bear calling me trifling.
The trouble with being erased for so long is that you come to think of your erasure as being natural. ~ Lorraine O'Grady in âThe Cave, Lorraine O'Grady on Black Women Film Directorsâ
Last week my homie James asked me why it was significant that Cooper and Rees fundraised to make Pariah when Black filmmakers were doing that waaay back in â91.
The early 90âs were interesting years for Black films, but these films were primarily by black men directors featuring the narratives by and large of Black men and boys. To my knowledge and correct me if I am wrong the only films that had major theatrical distribution that was directed by a Black woman were Leslie Harrisâs Just Another Girl on the IRT and Julie Dashâs Daughters of the Dust.
The fact that Harris and Dash are the only Black woman from that era that directed a feature length film with major distribution must be noted. Furthermore, the other side of the Harris- Dash coin is the quasi over-representation of Black womenâs stories in the recent economic market place.
I say quasi over-representation because we see stories being produce that feature Black womenâs bodies but they are not the directors.
Chris Rock, Tyler Perry, Lee Daniels, Bill Duke and Tim Story are 5 black men who have released films in the last 3 years that feature stories about Black women. Which begs the question, where are the Black women directors, directing features with major distribution?
Then there is the Black Woman Canât Get a Man industrial complex where âThe Washington Postâ, âCNNâ, âMSNBCâ, The Economist, scholars (Ralph Banks) and various other magazines explore possible reasons for the âlowâ marital rates for US heterosexual Black women. #jesusbeaFence. Every time I look up somebody has some something to say about the Who, Where, When, How and Why about Black womenâs dating lives. I personally think that the these stories function as a way to make us seem deviant in this current historical moment.
Have Black women directors of feature films been erased for so long that we consider their erasure natural?
Hortense Spillers says that Black women are the beached whale of the sexual universe and that we are awaiting our verb.
Honestly, when I think about the politics of listening to Black womenâs stories I am reminded of a scene in Ava Duvernayâs documentary âMy Mic Sounds Niceâ on women in rap music. In this documentary there is a moment where Stephen Hill states that in some ways the reason why there are very few Black women emcees rapping is because rap music is a male dominated genre where many of the stories are talking about women, so in other words, why would rap audience members want to hear these women speak back?

Without Zora Neale Hurston, pivotal images of African-American life would not have come to the fruition. Zoraâs passion was showcasing and celebrating black american life, but not only that, telling their stories, their livelihood and their struggles. Â
Watch a collection her her short films. It is rumored that she was one of the first black African American women film makers.
