White House Goes Forward with Planned Screening of "Selma".

JUST SAY'n: "TheGrio" is reporting that the White House is hosting a special viewing of "Selma" one day after the movie "was snubbed by the Oscars after receiving only nominations for best picture and song while director Ava DuVernay and lead actor David Oyelowo were ignored in their categories." The White House says that the timing of the two events was coincidental and that a screening was previously planned to commemorate the observance of Dr. Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement over the holiday weekend. 

I say, deal with people from a position of personal strength and dignity. It is clear that the power brokers in certain sectors of society only deal with Black Americans from stereotypical vantage points and do all they can to marginalize the significance of Black achievement. Once you understand that, then there is no need to be hurt or offended when they "do what they do"...just do "what you do" and negotiate with them with the expectation of presenting yourself with honor and taking nothing less than what you're worth...JUST SAY'n!
