How yucky was that for Salomon Northup, it's pretty eye opening about our ickie history here in the U.S.

I was disappointed in the Oscar-winning "20 Feet From Stardom" for a similar reason - yet 150 years later.

Each section featured a different AMAZINGLY BRILLIANT Black woman singer, each of them presenting their own merits in their performance. They also spoke about how badly they were treated. Yet the editors ended each section with with a different white guy saying "yes, she was quite good." AS IF THE SINGER WASN'T GOOD UNTIL HE SAID SO, even though we just saw that she was!

Last night did give Darlene Love a big audience - I was happy for her.
