Comin' To The Stage, The New Hit Play............
Mama Done Gone And Spent The Rent Money On Some New Twenty's For The Hyundai and Weed!
I was on my way to work this morning and heard the latest installment in infamously ghetto ass stage plays; Baby Mama Drama.
Why in the hell would someone want to make a play out of some shit like that? If anything we should be ashamed that there are so many "baby mama's" and so few families. What in the hell is going on with the black playwrights? Lorraine Hansberry wouldn't be writing no shit called "A Raisin Hell 'Cause The Rent's Due And Grandpa Done Spent The Money On Moonshine" or August Wilson writing "Fences: 'Da Best Way To Jump Over One When Running From Da Po'Po'" Why I ask? Why?
What happened to Black folks writing about something that was uplifting, entertaining, and not a damn embarrassment to our race? It's bad enough we don't have enough Blacks on stage as it is, so we should be trying to get some street credibility, to get these good 'ol boys on broadway to stand up and take notice. Now I don't mean that Blacks should start writing plays that will appeal to the whitewashed folks(you know plays that involves coonin' and stuff), just something that we can truly be proud of. Everytime I hear the radio personality announce yet another gospel stage play, my damn head starts hurting because it's going to be something that makes absolutely no sense - whatsoever.
Now for those who may say: "You probably haven't even seen one of those plays. So, why are you passing judgement?" Well, you're right. I have not have the funds nor the inclination to even want to waste funds to see some of the idiotic bullshit that comes across the stage at the Atlanta Civic Center (that's where they always perform, it must be a rule that all ghetto stage plays have to perform there or something). Hmmph! I need to write a stage play that bashes ghetto stage plays.
Man am I sleepy! Oh, I'm sorry I ran ashore from my sea of logical thinking. Shit has been hard for me lately. Job dissatisfaction is at an all time high and my feet have been incredibly swollen. Damn, being chunky. My poor feet can't continue to hold all of this excess fat.
Somebody give me some energy so I can exercise.

Ha! Chitlin Circuits! Now I must confess, I do want to Madea Goes To Jail. I don't know why, but I just do. You're right, Tyler Perry does make some funny plays. However, some of these gospel stage plays, make me want to go run and hide in a corner from embarrassment.
