Hey I had to come check out your blog! I attended a wealth management/empowerment conference. The one thing that stuck out was how everyone was told to have multiple income streams and to start a side business - preferably something internet based that requires no start up costs. I've been unemployed for 2 years now and am in the process of leaving CA because it's getting even worse. Your law degree is still a good thing regardless of whether you use it. You can do paralegal work, work as an assistant (I know but...), move into marketing. Basically...you have many many options and shouldn't feel too discouraged. Your education is NEVER an impediment. You could also do consulting work for bloggers or even apply for a UK or EU residency to work there as a highly-skilled worker. You could take a TOEFL course and go abroad teaching English as a second language. You could also consult with foreign companies about the US laws related to your field of expertise. If I can come up with that off the top of my head I know you can find something. Actually, I think that's the key: you have to CREATE something that is unique to your skill set. On a side note: those other commentors at various blogs don't always agree or use any discretion or nuance in how they respond to people. Sometimes it's best to just ignore them because they're not really interested in having a dialog but of telling you what to do, what to write and derailing discourse.

Thanks for mentioning me. I really enjoyed the Losangelista post as well. Womanist Musings told me she just saw the MOCKUMENTARY and will be writing a post. She wants her money back!

Since you want to promote Rock as some expert on black women let's dispel a few of his LIES okay?

He is still being sued for copyright violation by Regina Kimbell, producer of My Nappy Roots. The hearing is scheduled next week.

No black male has any authority to discuss ANY "issues" surrounding black women without taking full responsibility for the part they play in it.

Rock is an inadequate male who takes pleasure in knocking down black women. I have not forgotten his "comedic" act where he insulted Michelle Obama. Or where he discusses his poor relationships with women.

He needs therapy not a movie!

Why isn't his WIFE involved in this project if he was so concerned about his daughters? There's a bit more going on than hairdos for them to be that distressed and insecure. He can tell them they're beautiful all day but it's his actions that matter most.

Why is Rock being given the benefit of the doubt that he and he alone is doing something that's soooo great? It's my understanding he spent all of 2 minutes on unprocessed hair. Which only shows how much research he did NOT do.

Aside from Kimbell there are many other filmmakers who have discussed this very same issue with more respect and nuance and a thorough historical lesson than Rock.

We must never forget Rock did this movie for his personal profit and throughout this piece makes fun of black women. I also find it rather strange that so many black women have taken it upon themselves to tell others why they need to pay to be insulted - and that they're not really being insulted because it's Rock. As if hearing a man's opinion about other women has more value. Why are so many still eating this up?
