Q.
For Colored Girls
Are the stories any less true, because the men in them were black ? Would you rather we go back to being just maids and butlers and waiters . The men in the movie were real with all the good and evil that comes with human flaws. It was a great movie,
A.
Q.
Headline of your article
An article protesting the fact that some movies characterize black men as violent and thuggish is not well-served by a headline suggesting that black men aggrieved by these movies should consider homicide. Milloy, did you actually write this horrible headline?
