I heard of the book and Sapphire, but I only glanced at it. I saw the movie a few weeks ago. I noticed that the darker-skinned women were either the "victims" or the "evil" ones while the light skinned ladies were the "rescuers".
Aside from that, I thought the actress playing Precious was adorable, and did her part very well. I wouldn't want to watch it again, some parts were so intense, broke my heart.
See! That's why I said I needed to see it again. You're absolutely right. Dang! I don't really trip of light skin vs dark skin but I realize those issues still exist in the world.
I loved Gabby Sidibe - she is awesome! I felt the beauty of her spirit immediately.
Thank you for the compliment! I love my hair too! :o)
Locked since December 2005, my Sisterlock Adventure is taking another new course - that of Sisterlock Practitioner. Visit me at http://youloclovely.com/ for details.
Otherwise, I'm still enjoying my journey and loving my locs. I have never felt more empowered or confident as I have since getting Sisterlocks. They have truly changed the haircare rules, how I think, eat, exercise and care for myself as a whole person - mind, body and spirit. Welcome to my world!
