Wesley Snipes is out of Shawshank

Not only that, his then association with Louis Farrakan and The Nation Of Islam.

 

oh damn

 

oooppps

 

Louis Farrakan was always bad news to me.

 

My late older brother and my sister admired Farrakan. When I was a correctional officer, all I heard was Farrakan's name even more than Malcolm X. The muslim inmates ask me, "You down with Farrakan?" My reply is,"He has a right to exist." He knows the entire history of black people. And like most intellectuals, especially those with an agenda, he uses his intellect like a dagger across someone's throat. He gives some hope. But he give me nausea.

 

Farakhan's rhetoric served its time and purpose

he was a militant black figure when blacks were treated like shit and had people just doing whatever they wanted to them. I wrote before that i grew up in a very racist area of philly in the 80s, and my only salvation was people like him who made me feel like I wasn't powerless and that I had backup in my struggles against daily racism.

however...the times have changed and as people start to come together, having him continue to behave like he has only hurts the union

i can see how if you had the privilege of not experiencing what I and others have, that you would despise farakhan without end.

 

Nice!

 

im just saying

with the marches and rallies and speeches the guy gave, the pain was mitigated and some strength to keep pushing grew

i never really hated white people though..but it was good to know that there were people out there struggling like me who were tired of the games and who had the balls to speak up and change shit

 

I always thought Wesley Snipes was hot. Glad to see him out and about again. :smt023

 

One thing I like what he did was turn out innocent looking Ming Na Wen in "one night stand" the director cast a ww as his lead, but he suggested to give an Asian woman a go mentioning Wen... (he got bamboo fever bad) ming was just out of Joy Luck Club fame and look as innocent as you can get...then they did that hot sex scene when snipes bent her over and shoved her panties in her mouth! ha maybe he wanted to rehearse that scene a lot. lol

 

Ah, I do recall Snipes' Yellow Fever and, it's pretty amusing. Yet, he's not an embarrassment with respect to his sexual preferences unlike some people who tend to portray the Asian lust preferences as a huge diet of their sexual fantasies and stereotypes. There's a documentary about it too. I just need to find it again.

Anyway, here is the sex scene between Na Wen and Snipes: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/8391797/ming_na_wen_hot_sex_scene/

And yet, she's actually Macanese, but born to Cantonese parents.

 

yeah agreed with that MS. Just prior to that scene she walked in in super hot pants and stradled him as he was lyin on the sofa....damn she looked hot

wonder if its hard (pun intended) to not get a boner doing scenes like that...hmm maybe he suggested "they practice" in the trailer before the shoot hahaha

 

One Night Stand was not an erotic thriller like, say, Basic Instinct, but it is a movie I would be happy to have in my collection. The two driving forces in this film were Mike Figgis' direction and the cast(especially, Robert Downey, Jr. who played Wesley' s friend dying from AIDS. Wesley and Robert worked together before in the film U.S Marshals with Tommy Lee Jones). The scene with the family dog noticing Nastassia Kinski's scent was interesting. And the sex scene between Wesley and Ming Na was funny as well as hot.

 

Wesley Snipes was in bed with Lolita Davidovitch in Boiling Point. He was living with an Asian woman.

 

Yeah but there's a difference between "self-defense" and plain out lunacy.Just because a few misguided white people acted stupid doesn't give me the right to start treating every white person I see like shit.

 

racial tensions in the 70s and 80s were boiling over in multiple cities

It was quite more than just a few

after looking at some recent stuff he's done he may actually ve losing his shit

But if you grew up in a racially charged area as a black man, he was the guy u wanted next to u....second to Malcolm x of course

 

I had experienced the racism. I didn't believe that all white people were evil and I did not need him to pick me up. I was empowered by the hope that we, as human beings, can live, love, share, learn and prosper together. I am still empowered by that hope. It isn't socialism, communism, or whatever pejorative people call it these days. It is called ascention. Moving beyond jealousy, suspicion, anger, discrimination and hate.

 

Those are the key phrases. You have to keep in mind a lot of youngins now have no clue about a lot of that. Plus Farrakhan always had that negative stigma to him just due to being a member of the Nation of Islam even before he got on the over the top bullshit. The negatives of the Nation of Islam & the Black Panthers have been blown & played up by certain parties that the positives aspects those two groups had have been rendered null and void to the point they are now seen as nothing but a black version of the KKK or Neo-Nazis by individuals across all racial lines.

 

by no means am i saying that it's OK to hate all white people

i wouldn't be here if I felt that way

but yes, I was surrounded by daily racism and more times than not, it felt (correction...I know) as if my health was in danger because of it. To know that this was happening in multiple cities all across the country was even crazier. To know that racists were in power and were letting shit happen was even more crazy. Turning my cheek, letting bygones be bygones, singing Kum-Ba-ya or letting Jesus take the wheel or any ole other shit wasn't always the option.
