Oprah teams up with Tyler Perry for new OWN series
High off her interview last week with superstar Beyonce Knowles, Oprah Winfrey is determined to keep the momentum rolling. Earlier this week, the talk show maven released a teaser in what may be a collaboration with actor and producer Tyler Perry.
According to the short clip, Oprah is going to release two new Tyler Perry series. Both of which are currently filming in Atlanta. The shows will air on May 28 and 29, 2013.
Will you be watching? –ruthie hawkins
Only N Amerikkka
In the land of fried chicken pulp
and forty ounces of a big gulp
commuter junkies on the subway floor
texting and chatting it’s hard to ignore
with class divisions and social inequality
should they call this a democracy?
changing the rules THEY make to uphold
serve THEIR own interest and hollow goals
watch what you say think before you speak
or the next thing you know, you’ve been hoodwinked
what do ya mean when you say he’s uppity?
it just shows your cultural stupidity
in desperate need of redemption and abolition
when will it cease from relations of exploitation?
our people suffer everyday from lack and oppression
while Amerikkka continues it’s world domination
people of color could not have known
when they signed their name to that sub-prime loan
now they are victioms of predatory lenders
more or less the first offenders
where you have racial and ethnic disparities
there you’ll find all the irregularities
statistical proof of racial discrimination
it began in the days of the slave plantation
they create institutions for high incarcerations
take our children from schools equaling low graduations
while we seek opportunity in our community
the kaos continues with our lack of unity
feelings of deep despair running through the air
homeless dying in the streets does anyone care?
the plague of violence in our neighborhoods
candles burn on the corner where that child once stood
the systemactic factors of don’t ask don’t tell
some say that’s a hard sell
while the big disease with the little name
wreak havoc, misery, suffering and pain
