The movie Acrimony – A Spirit of Bitterness & Rage

The ReadyWriter

I saw Tyler Perry’s movie Acrimony and was blown away by the full plot of the movie. The psychological thriller just opened in theatres yesterday (Friday March 30), and has already grossed $7.6 million, including $1 million from Thursday night previews.

The movies plot is: Melinda Gayle, a faithful wife (Taraji P. Henson), is tired of standing by her lazy husband (Lyriq Bent) and gives up on him and files for divorce just before he strikes the business deal of a lifetime. One he had waited ten years before succeeding. His new found money and success changes everything for Melinda as her now ex-husband had moved on. She becomes enraged when she finds out that he is engaged to another woman, Melinda loses control of her life and all hell breaks loose.

I don’t want to reveal any spoilers but Taraji P. goes crazy in the end.

The critics are harsh but I absolutely loved this film. Sad part about Melinda’s bitterness and rage is that, because of her husband’s past transgressions, she refused to trust and believe him at time he needed her too the most.

Al Sharpton Embraces Stephon Clark’s Brother & Slams White House for calling shooting a ‘local matter’

SACRAMENTO, CA – MARCH 29: Rev. Al Sharpton (L) is hugged by Stevante Clark during the funeral services for police shooting victim Stephon Clark

The Reverend Al Sharpton is not impressed with the White House’s response to the police overkill of an unarmed black man in Sacramento, California. 22-year-old Stephon Clark was shot 20 times after he was spotted hopping a fence into his grandmother’s backyard during a police foot chase.

Clark is suspected of attempting to break into a car and a home on 29th Street on March 18. Police say he fit the description of the suspect who wore a black hoodie. Two pursuing officers claim they mistook his cell phone for a gun.

Sharpton supported Clark’s family, including his brother Ste’vante Clark, at Clark’s funeral on Thursday.

The reverend condemned the White House for calling the police shooting a “local matter” rather than a federal rights violation.

“They have been killing black men all across the country,” said Sharpton. “We are going to start standing up. It’s time to stop this madness. We will make Donald Trump and the whole world deal with police misconduct. Stephon Clark has woke up the nation.” If the killing of Amadou Diallo didn’t wake this country up 19 years ago, it never will.

If Former President Barack Obama Had A “Stormy Daniels”

The ReadyWriter

All hell would have broken loose!!!

The hypocrisy of the republicans is unbelievable, when there is so much scandal and unethical tactics surrounding their representation in the white house.

If there has been one single, unbroken theme spanning President Donald Trump’s 14 months in office, it’s been his inability to stay quiet, even when silence would seem to serve him best. And on the “Stormy Daniels” interview currently flooding media headlines, the president ain’t saying a word.

Unlike Melania, Michelle Obama would never have another woman in the headlines for having spanked her husband a.k.a. the father of her children in a sordid affair and lived to tell it. The fact of the matter is, as far as Trump’s behavior goes, he’s a hot orange mess! The drama surrounding his presidency speaks volumes about his behavior, mentality and inability to lead a country.

The “March For Our Lives” Will it Change Anything?” Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Marla Eveillard, 14, cries as she hugs friends before the start of a vigil at the Parkland Baptist Church, for the victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, which happened yesterday, in Parkland, Fla., Thursday, Feb. 15, 2018. Nikolas Cruz, who had been expelled form the school, opened fire there.

The shooting that took place at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida wasn’t it’s first in history and will not be the last. As long as the purchase of firearms are so freely obtained in this country, history is deemed to keep repeating itself. But is it the firearm that is so freely obtained the issue? Or the action which drives the person using the firearm? Which of these scenarios is the issue of discussion this country should be addressing?

School shootings, church shootings or public shootings seems to be the norm nowadays with personal gripes linked to mental illness being spilled into society.

There are civil demonstrations expressing outrage and pleas to lawmakers that fall on deaf ears? So how do we expect change? How does the strategy to change laws become the conversation for action?

Join Host Tracy L. Bell at 6:30 p.m. EST tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via Blog Talk Radio for the discussion The “March For Our Lives” Will it Change Anything?”
