James Earl Jones was beating that thing down in Claudine

You guys are the only two guys that point out Claudine. She was nominated for an Academy Award in that movie and that movie was way ahead of its time, because single motherhood is as rampant as ever in the African American community.

RIP



was just about to post this - the IR hypocrisy of today’s BW toward us is comical

but lets not derail - Ms Carroll was a beautiful & talented sister

again, may she RIP

You already derailed.

1 black woman married to a white man makes no hypocrisy. Given that time there are many black men were getting with white womenin droves in entertainment or sleeping with them increasingly so. I am sure her black male peers were more interested with the white version of Ms Carroll given the interracial explosion of black men hooking up with white Women since the 70s.
