most positive thing this year.....or past year...hmmmmm, denzel....yeah...if that influences 1 potential crypt-banga or baggy du-rag wearing wife-beater rocking "thug" to grab an 8mm camera and go after his dream (success or crash an buirn failure) the image gave options...though it was rigged...and he still deserved it...training day made me hate him...and thats what acting is about...i lost focus on denzel and believed the character existed....good job.

worst thing for african americans this year would be the disappointment called hip hop...what might have been good was ok...and what is concidered good was terrible...and what was terrible stayed there.....pure shock value...and the baseline hip hoppers forced to adjust their groove to sell albums..or call this one their last.....sadly this music has the hugest influence on our children,and us too...and worst of all rae rae the crypt banga with the baggy du-rag.......gyalee...i used to believe that music has no influence on our behavior, untill i realized a certain song made me sad....i wonder what the rest did...oh well back to lurking....

Shame, love after it rains,
You see my pain is real,
Watch my world dissolve,
