After ending another in a long line of relationships with White women, hipster comic book artist Jay embarks on "Operation Brown Sugar" and meets an eccentric "Halfrican-Canadian" author. With race no longer an issue, Jay must finally confront his crippling fear of commitment, and he quickly learns that the only thing scarier than ending up with the wrong girl is losing the right one.
Director: Jennifer Sharp, USA

| One of the great tragidies about interracial sexing and relationships is that RECENTLY, IT HAS BEEN USED AS A TOOL OF 'GENOCIDE THROUGH INTERMARRIAGE/SEX' on Black African Americans and Blacks in other places.
This shows the lack of historical perspective of many Black people, who mistake 'sex' and 'romance' for the love of one's self (as is), one's family, one's nation and one's culture.
Believe it or not -- A PERSON'S CULTURAL/ETHNIC GROUP IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE INDIVIDUAL -- whether we accept it or not -- we are part of the Black African-American family. We are only about 14 percent of the population (approx 45,000,000 from a population of about 300,000,000). During the mid 1700's, we were about 40 percent of the US population and were reduced to about 11 percent some decades ago.
Today, every other ethnic/racial group in America is expanding in numbers AT THE EXPENSE OF BLACK PEOPLE (AND THE WAY 'DEMOCRATIC' POLITICS IS GOING, WITH FOREIGN PEOPLE, FROM A FOREIGN LANGUAGE GOING AGAINST A BLACK MAN) IS EVIDENCE OF THAT. We have helped many groups in America, fresh from the boat, yet, what have they done -- THEY HAVE TURNED THEIR BACKS ON US; From the white womens movement who began to use abortion/family planning as a strategy to lessen the Black population after emancipation and after Blacks were given the vote - to the Irish of Louisiana who attacked Blacks for work during the late 1800's, to today's Spanish-speaking foreign origin people who are engaged in 'ethnic cleansing' and racist attacks on Black people in places like Los Angeles -- to some from places like Asia whom we supported in their worse time of need, TO SOME AMERICAN INDIANS, WHO THREW BLACKS OUT OF THEIR NATIONS -- ALL THESE PEOPLE HAVE TURNED THEIR BACKS ON US.
So, suddenly, is interracial sexing and unions with these same type of people GOING TO HELP US? Is dating, sexing and having half/half children with the very people who are responsible for Black oppression in America and only use us to uplift themselves going to help us. No. After all remember 'three strikes,' remember 'welfare reform' remember 'manditory minimums,' and were these put in place by people who were 'helping Blacks,'?
We today's Black generations and those behind us must say no to this trick of interracial dating and sexing. We must organize and learn to love ourselves first before we 'PRETEND' to love other races, only for them to discover that we have no love for them and they have no love for us. Our problem is to learn to accept each other first and foremost and ORGANIZE TO EXPAND OUR POPULATION, RETAKE OUR RIGHTFUL PLACE IN AMERICA AND THRIVE AS BLACK AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
Mixing is and has been used as a tool of genocide for thousands of years, that is why Black people are absent or less in places like Northern Africa, Egypt, Northern India, the Arab nations, Southern China, Taiwan, Philipines, Australia, Indonesia (they are being brutalized in West Papua), Mexico, Argentina and Spain (where 1,000,000 Black African Moors were driven out after the Christians retook Spain).
Mixing, war and genocide distroyed these Black/Negroid people. They are no more -- BUT ALL THE OTHER RACES HAVE EXPANDED AND HAVE THRIVED, WITH NOT A TRACE OF BLACK AROUND.
In fact, when the mention of Asia-Pacific is mentiontioned, particularly concerts (Asia-Pacific Youth Festival http://www.CCTV.com.cn ), not a single Black Melanesian/South Pacific nation is included.

| BOAO FORUM FOR ASIA BEING HELD - ASIA'S 600,000,000 (SIX HUNDRED MILLION) INDO-NEGROID AND MELANESIAN-NEGROID PEOPLE NOT REPRESENTED
One of the most oppressed, neglected and overlooked group of people on earth are the massive population of about 600,000,000 Africoids who live in Asia from Arabia and Southern India all the way to Melanesia and parts of Australia.
That group of Blacks are part of the prehistoric and ancient African/Black Diaspora and as Herodotus mentioned in 'The Histories,' these 'Ethiopians' once dominated all of Asia, particularly the southern regions from Arabia all the way to S.E. Asia and Southern China.
Where are these Blacks today in the global geopolitical affairs and in the PAN-AFRICAN GLOBALIZATION and unity?
They are not represented in media, the news, arts, politics or any aspect. In fact that massive population of Blacks in Asia are kept totally and purposely invisible.
That can clearly be seen in many 'Asian' gatherings including sporting events and including media and events like the 'FORUM FOR ASIA.'
It is sad and unacceptable indeed that the original people of Asia, the Black Africoid people are not represented. Yet, recent European people and settlers in Australia, New Zealand and other parts of Asia are suddenly 'Asian.'
The solution to this problem is for PAN-AFRICANS especially African-Americans to help unite and to uplift that group of Black people who belong to the three branches of the Black Negroid (Africoid) race.
They are: Negro-Australoid
Indo-Negroid
Melanesian Negro and Negrito.
Negro-Australoids are people like Australian Aboriginals.
Indo-Negroids are the black-skinned, Negroid featured people of South Asia whose genetics is identical to Africans and whose languages are related.
Melanesian Negroids are the curly/kinky haired Black people with features similar to people from parts of southern Ethiopia and East Africa, where it is said their ancestors migrated from over 100,000 years ago -- about 85,000 years before the arrival of the 'Mongoloid' race.
The total Pan-Negro population on planet earth is about 2,000,000,000 (two billion Black people)
1,000,000,000 live in Africa
600,000,000 to 700,000,000 live in South and South-East/Pacific Asia
300,000,000 live in the Americas
That is a huge and strategic population of the world's original Black people who were the first to spread globally, trade globally, develop the first global civilizations and spread culture globally. Blacks therefore were the first to apply globalism worldwide and that is described thoroughly in the text, "Susu Economics: The History of Pan-African Trade, Commerce, Money and Wealth,"
http://www.authorhouse.com/BookStore/ItemDetail~bookid~3214.aspx
also in "Susu and Susunomics: The History of Pan-African Economic, Cultural and Racial Self-Preservation."

Finally, Black media must start to think global. Magazines like EBONY, JET AND OTHERS must include the Blacks of Asia and the South Pacific as part of the PAN-AFRICOID OR 'PAN-NEGRO' global race, BECAUSE THAT IS OUR IDENTITY.
Africans/Blacks do not measure history in terms of BC OR AD, but in terms of 'Dreamtime' and 'beginning of time,' in terms of thousands and tens of thousands of years. In fact, the AFRICAN NEW YEAR CELEBRATED IN SOME AFRICAN NATIONS is celebrated on the Spring Equanox (March), and has been celebrated for over 30,000 years.
Yet another celebration of the African New Year is also celebrated by some African cultures on September tenth and ecognizes the appearance of the star Sirius above the sun. THIS OCCURS EVERY 1500 YEARS OR SO -- AND AMAZINGLY IS STILL RECOGNIZED.
This is the type of culture that Black people have on a global scale. We must not look at our history in terms of our downfall that occurred when Blacks were attacked and pushed out of India, Southern China, SE Asia, Northern Africa, Olmec Mexico, Japan, Southern Europe, SE Asia and elsewhere by nomadic and barbarian warrior peoples. We must see our history before that period that began about 2000 BC. Our histories whether in Africa, Asia, the Americas, SE Asia, India, Europe was glorious and prosperous for thousands of years before the barbarians came out of the mountains (a current movie '10,000 YEARS' tries to make that point -- and one has to read between the lines to see it). Our ancient books written on papyrus and leather still exists today and still can be researched and consulted for the facts.
Finally, WE IN BLACK AMERICA AND AFRICA MUST UNITE UNDER THE GLOBAL PAN-AFRICAN OR PAN-NEGRO banner and organize the Black people of Africa, Americas, South Asia, SE Asia, Europe and elsewhere.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF BLACK NEGRO (THE TERM USED TO REFER TO BLACKS IN MOST NATIONS TODAY) PEOPLE IN ASIA ARE ISOLATED. It is our duty as Pan-Africans to help unite these Black people. We should not stand and look while Black people in Indonesia, West Papua, Australia, Sudan or any where else are being wiped out.
PAN-AFRICANS MUST ORGANIZE A BLACK WORLD GLOBALIZATION MOVEMENT TO UNITE BLACKS GLOBALLY.

Is power the only thing keeping our society together? Inspired by true events, this powerful, eye-opening drama shows both the tragic and triumphant effects the largest blackout in U.S. history has on one dense street in Brooklyn, New York. When the very foundation of day-to-day life is shaken for a diverse knot of characters, their actions may move you to tears‹then rouse you to action. Director: Jerry LaMothe USA

America the Beautiful (USA) – Filmmaker Darryl Roberts examines the extreme prejudice of the beauty industry against the ordinary woman. Told mainly through the journey of 12-year-old runway ingénue Gerren Taylor (currently starring in Baldwin Hills), Roberts accomplishes the extraordinary feat of conducting candid on-camera interviews with beauty industry executives and magazine editors who readily admit to selling an impossible ideal.
