I agree with you at some point…however, this story needs to be heard. What seems to be left out here is that this was actually based on a true story. This is not something made up it was somebody’s life. So this was not a movie made to bring down black people but was something that was actaully lived by someone and needs to be hard. The point is no matter what your circumstances, you can find the strentgh to carry through. And that’s all well and good that your daughter is going to be a doctor, but does not change the opsitcals that she may go through in her life. I am a very successfulk person, least to say…I encounterd mostly all the problems that prcious did in her life…and for you to say that it does not need to be heard is ridiculous. And this goes beyond your special education kids, these are everyday people that we may see just walkking down the street, at the bus stop, at the grocery store, your next door neighbor, white, black, orange…it doesn’t matter. That is the problem is that people think this happens to only one type of people, and that is not true. It you had a look at me and my great career, you wouldn’t imagine these things. So I just think you need to be a little more considerate and get the understanding that this is not about your career choice, or college you go to, but its about life…period.

Read the book years ago when it came out & it just broke my heart. Precious just could never catch a break. I was a caseworker when I first came out of college & unfortunately, Bella, like you said, there are far too many of our young girls & young women who are all to similar to Precious.

And I can’t wait to see Mo’Nique. Cause I know she put her foot in it. Anyone see “Shadowboxer” w/ Cuba Gooding? I knew from that flick that she has DEPTH, for real, not just all jokes.

@SuperStarr – YO…for real, get back on your meds…LOL…

Alrighty then, have a good day everyone!
