In rattling thin that I share my personal thoughts and opinions that I find in the plot of things, where they rattling sound in? They have worth,  they are trusty but they are after every meet my opinions.  But every once in a while, something or someone comes along and I feel a sense of domain as a not so secretly conceive that I am not the exclusive one upbringing the question, âWhy?â
Having fresh attended The NAACP Image Awards, struck by the notion that in the continuum o of award ceremonies,  these move to have an industry gift of the âugly stepchildâ. Iâm confused, and to be quite honestâ¦Â Iâm also a taste conflicted.Â

The discourse begs, is Hollywood color-blind? A slippery slope, with a story of, âOh no, he didnât meet go there.â Well I went there, I was there and I was overwhelmed by the star noesis in the room. But what I was struck most by was the humility, the sense of comradery and a feeling, no journalistic proof, but a opinion that I was not the exclusive one asking the question, âWhy?â
