Octavia Spencer Couldn't Wait On Black People, Wins "Mammy" Award

Summary: Octavia Spencer wins a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in "The Help",  Idris Elba wins Best Actor in a Mini-Series for "Luther" and Morgan Freeman's honored. Hollywood loves to honor Black people in three's. lol

First let me say, I'm proud of Idris Elba, I watched a few episodes of "Luther" and he did a great job playing the leading role. He proved that he can carry a series being the star. He also demonstrates in the UK drama his ability to turn his native UK accent on and off, which is astounding and deserves an award in itself.

Unfortunately I can't say I am proud of Octavia Spencer's win aside from it adding to her list of accomplishments as an actress. I believe the ENERGY of her win is like a modern-day Hattie McDaniel.

Octavia Spencer wins the Golden Globe for best supporting actress in the movie "The Help". Despite her extensive career in acting, this is the first award she has won on any scale. The only way to lighten that fact would be to acknowledge that her role in "The Help" was her first extensive role to date.

My criticisms have nothing to do with Octavia Spencer as a person. I'm sure she is a wonderful person with a kind heart and soul. Despite this I can only wonder how it feels to find acknowledgement from Hollywood only after playing a "Mammy" whose life's made better by White people.

I try so hard not to be sensitive about these things. Unlike many other Black people I refuse to look at everything as a racial implication, but the ENERGY of this achievement can't help but be felt. Not only did she win the Golden Globe for best supporting actress, she has won awards for her role in the "The Help" through smaller scale award associations too.

Again this article is about ENERGY and as I pointed out Octavia Spencer's win has the ENERGY of Hattie McDaniel.

Listen to Hattie McDaniel display a her sense of uneasiness in being honored as a "Mammy" maid in "Gone with the Wind".

Black People Want "Super Negros"

Here is a video I just completed. I will not write a long article about it because it is self-explanatory. Just to let you know, sometimes the truth comes out harsh, but I love y'all and I know with concentration and expecting more of each other we can better this race.

For those who view my site I will be revealing my alter ego "Culture Assassin" soon. She is here to slay negative ENERGIES and help bring spirituality and love to the race.
