Django Unchained

Despite Django being out from early 2014. I only just managed to see this film and of course due to the nature of it. I felt compelled to write a bit on it.
I won't ruin the plot for those who have not yet managed to see this film by revealing too much. It's an excellent film and leaves you with a satisfied feeling that justice has been dealt.  
There are some parts I would call winch worthy but this is to be expected for a film based on or involving slavery and slaves. 
This film stars Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington, Samuel L Jackson and Leonardo Dicaprio.

Are we tired yet? nothing is changing... returning to our roots ..if we can find them

This video gives a more eloquent explanation of leaving behind inevitable tyranny and moving back to the continent. We have a few things to do  to move back we would have to adjust our selves expectations or build to accommodate our needs in a way that supports the economy and the people who live there. We have engineers here and there, architects, construction workers, planners, plumbers, electricians who can help to create these homes. We have islands that we can go to and settle in.  We must not make the mistake of going there in arrogance or superiority, but with an air of humility and gratitude that we can live there. Yes we have skills, but so do the people who already live there.  I feel like for people who have family in other nations should be looking at investing in property etc. I understand their is some challenge with this, but it can be overcome, if we understand it is for the common good. To keep us all protected and safe from a world that is aiming t

How I Got Into Reading..And Additional Posts About My Current Reading Books/Styles

I love reading, and I miss those days when I could spend my afternoons, snuggled up with a good book. I was ready to dive into a new adventure, travel internationally, and fall in love with some antihero.  I didn't get into books until I was in my early teens, before this it was playing outside, television, and the internet. It wasn't until one summer, our T.V broke, and we were in the middle of the summer holidays. I wasn't able to sink into my favourite programme.  The only books lying about were the old Mills and Boons, and once I read one, I managed to read over 150 of them. I started collecting them, and had a catalogue of books, and even knew how many times I thumbed through a book. I am the type who can re-read the same book, numerous times. I might know the plot, but then the next time I read it, I can enjoy it more, and understand the twists and turns. I may have missed earlier.  I fell in love with romance, I was too timid at 14 to read murder mysteries,

Fear for the silent victims in the long standing police brutality tale

Image
As a black female, I am remiss to mention the hidden secret side that I  can only guess many are too ashamed, frighted to bring to the light of the day. I have been blessed and fortunate to never have experienced this aspect of harassment, but as a women I  am 80% sure it exists. When i look at all the mainly black males being physically brutalised by police officers in america and sometimes in the UK, (quotes down below) there is a side of me that realises there must be silent victims who may have had to deal with a more humiliating, degrading experience with not a hero or video in sight to expose these experiences. As depressing as it is to write and think about, I  couldn't imagine this experience to be reality but I  feel that I would be remiss not to bring it to light, a black woman has sometimes been objectified by many nationalities, from slavery, through colonialism to the current day as a fascinating foreign object to be explored and exploited. i.e. you can watc
