I don't mean it in a bad way though but I have to keep it real. What sells to black people? HipHop which is full of violence, drugs and hurting other blacks. What else sells? Black women's pain.
If I wanted to be rich tomorrow all I have to do is write a book about how some black man did a black woman wrong and how the black woman overcame her evil black man (who she still decided to pick to spread her legs for anyway.) Talk about how much of a beautiful, infallible Nubian Goddess she is. Talk about how the nikka raped her, gave her AIDS because he was on the down low, never had a job, got her pregnant 5 times, went to prison for 2 years, got out of prison, went to an IV league school, AIDS left his body miraculously and then he married a blonde haired, blue eyed white girl.
At the end of the book the black woman gets revenge on the man by somehow acquiring all of his money, leaving the evil black man and his evil white snow cave bytch poor and destitute. The the final scene is the black woman beating the shyt out of the blonde haired, blue eyed white girl.
Then I will be on Tyra and Oprah doing interviews about how poignant and powerful my book is. Then Hollywood will pay me billions of dollars to make a movie out of my book. The shyt will fly off the shelves in book stores everywhere. The movie will sell out everywhere.
You know what's the saddest/funniest/scariest thing about that hypothetical anecdote that I just jokingly wrote?
That pretty much it could really happen.
Black people love buying into dysfunction.
