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, “Why?”

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 “ugly stepchild”.  I’m confused, and to be quite honest…  I’m also a taste conflicted. 

The NAACP Image Awards  draw Red Carpet Royalty  and are by no effectuation a anything less than an A List circumstance still from newspapers  to online media,  there appears to be in their version to covering the likes of a metropolis Berry, Colin Powell, President Perry, Oprah Winfrey  like;  the same  people who beam the paparazzi into a frenzy at another events.

The discourse begs, is Hollywood color-blind? A slippery slope, with a story of, “Oh no,  he didn’t meet go there.” 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, “Why?”
