By During :the recent conversation taking place over the popular teledrama “Scandal” one of my regular reader/commenters -Hollenhund – alerted me to the fact that apparently, there was a fierce discussion taking place over at the blog Hooking Up Smart
about a rash of Black American Men heading off to Brazil for the
express purpose of availing themselves of the local ladies, as an
alternative to what’s on offer back home. Using the link Hollenhund
provided, I hopped over to HUS, read what was being said, and then
checked out the YouTube link provided, which leads you to an under one
hour-long documentary called “Frustrated: Black American Men In Brazil.”
I had intended to take up the matter but forgot all about it in the the
crush of my daily activities – until I saw the following link in my
Twitter feed by one Ms. Demetria Lucas, the self-proclaimed “Belle in
Brooklyn.” Ms. Lucas has saw it fit to weigh in on the whole “Frustrated” kerfuffle at The Root,
and it was her dipping her toe into these controversial waters, that
reignited my interested in the matter – largely because of the twisted
and disingenuous manner in which she chose to cover the issue. Grab
coffee, this is gonna be good.
First, let’s begin with the fact that Ms. Lucas gets off on the wrong foot, by suggesting that the film “Frustrated” just dropped out of the sky – assisted by World Star Hip Hop – made by a bunch of Brotha Losers crying into their beer and wanting to throw the American Sistahood under the proverbial bus.
