I got the Jackie Robinson story DVD from the Dollar store. Showed it onver the weekend to my grandchilren, they couldn’t get past the fact of it being a black and white movie. I made them look at it and then had an question and answer period to make sure they understood what he faced as the first Afircan American to enter the baseball leagues.
Check it out!!!!!

@ myfox:
Prider:
Y is bow wow is the “History of Pride” section? He isnt an establish hollyW actor. He got roles bc producers thought his music fans will support his movies.
History of Entertainment:
I agree! I was just watching “temptations” movie this morning. Memba this like : AINT NOBODY COMIN 2 C U OTIS ! hahahaha !
..but Cedric wasnt funny.
I too love love love Bernie Mac show. It was such a good relatable show. I still watch reruns on cw & fx. Of all the comics who got shows, BM’s is #1–even above Martin Lawrences.
How the hell & y the hell do u say that horrible move “salon” is an example of success? The sterotypes in that movie & that crap hair movie monique did are sooo dreadful.
