what is to be done with fear

* my ‘dream cup’ of ayahuasca had me face my deepest fear:

being ridiculed for a free-spirited 'outsiderness' by my so-called peers,

...for having a non-materialistic value system valuing the emotional impact of the arts over personalities & not feeling the need to flaunt inherent alpha-male characteristics;

inwardly knowing though, that the ridiculers are just envious; & that giving my vibe validity rebukes their own posturing, negates its appeal & camouflages their own fears of inadequacy.

but at the time - i felt powerless, as under a supreme institutional, authoritative indifference (& a near-physically controlling force - you know how dreams do...)

& began to doubt myself, looking down at my relatively meager externals, rendering me helpless to confront them - there & then - to assert my core indifference to their opinions & acts distracting me from my own path, my journey steps.

i know - the obvious antidote is a hale & heaty 'fuck this, i’m out' & 'fuck you, too’ - but in the nicest possible way * if they persist,

because ultimately their spew is irrelevant to the real me, my focus & appending of a world view; thus beyond my soul's true milieu.

that is the blueprint for what is to be done with fear - & not a denial or deflection, but an acknowledgement that, far from a weakness of character, fear is a human feature - not a bug - a consequence of free will & the concept of freedom:

for every up, a down, every left, a corresponding right; each advance, a retreat; for every battle victory, a possible defeat; every whim, a rebuttal; each dare, a denial - or at the least - what Langston Hughes called a 'dream deferred'...

tho it did shake me upon awakening, like 'bad' dreams are wont to do.

my dream aya showed me the abyss; & clear-eyed sanity reveals that my soul’s voice needs to be bellowed into it, whether or not i decide to stick around;

& damned be the case if the void’s too vituperative to clap back an echo. * 2/23 - lebuc - what is to be done with fear

I feel like Mr Katz and Dom Irrera should’ve kissed at least once in the show. Doesn’t even need to be romantic I just feel like it should’ve happened.

Jimmy Woodard and Robert Townsend in Hollywood Shuffle (Robert Townsend, 1987) Cast: Robert Townsend, Anne-Marie Johnson, Craigus R. Johnson, Helen Martin, Starletta DuPois, David McKnight, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Lou B. Washington, Brad Sanders, John Witherspoon, Eugene Robert Glazer, Lisa Mende, Dom Irrera. Screenplay: Robert Townsend, Keenen Ivory Wayans. Cinematography: Peter Deming. Production design: Melba Katzman Farquhar. Film editing: W.O. Garrett. Music: Udi Harpaz, Patrice Rushen. Fifteen years ago, Vanity Fair ran an article about how Robert Townsend's Hollywood Shuffle hadn't aged in its then-30 years of existence. But in their essentials, neither the article nor the movie has aged since then. Granted, some of the movie's satiric targets, like the TV reviews of Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert or the search for Eddie Murphy clones, are no longer fresh, and movie and TV stereotypes are somewhat more self-consciously maintained today. Now, Townsend would probably be lampooning the Magical Negro stereotype instead of the pimps and hoods that his comedy centers on. And Hollywood Shuffle is a little more brash and raw than might win critical favor today. Still, as a wakeup call for Black artists and for white audiences, the movie still rings true and cuts deep.

"Hollywood Shuffle" (1987) is a comedy film written and directed by Robert Townsend. Keenon Ivory Wayans assisted with writing, and Carl Craig and Richard Cummings Jr. were executive and associate producers, respectively. This movie is one of the most necessary films ever made as it gives a comedic look into stereotypical roles by African-Americans in Hollywood. The cast comprises many great actors, including Robert Townsend, Keenon Ivery Wayans, Anne Marie Johnson, John Witherspoon, and Helen Martin. In addition, there were numerous supporting actors throughout the movie, and many were still very early in their careers. Whenever one critically analyzes African-Americans in Hollywood films, the portrayals, and representation of black people are historically spurious and offensive. Robert Townsend masterfully illustrates the struggles of black actors in the film industry and how many often battled with their conscience and morals. However, "Hollywood Shuffle" is a silly movie, and Townsend uses these negative stereotypes to make his point comedically. In an age where movies are seeing remakes, I think "Hollywood Shuffle" is due for an update. I highly recommend this movie for viewing. Director: Robert Townsend Writers: Robert Townsend, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Dom Irrera Starring Robert Townsend, Anne-Marie Johnson, Keenen Ivory Wayans, John Witherspoon, Helen Martin, Craigus R. Johnson, Starletta DuPois, David McKnight, Lou B. Washington, Lisa Mende, Dom Irrera, Eugene Robert Glazer, Bobby McGee, Nancy Cheryll Davis, Paul Mooney Storyline Aspiring actor and hot-dog stand employee Bobby Taylor (Robert Townsend) catch the ire of his grandmother (Helen Martin) for auditioning for a role in the regrettably titled exploitation film "Jivetime Jimmy's Revenge." When Tinseltown Studios casts Taylor in the title role, he has a series of conflicted dreams satirizing African-American stereotypes in Hollywood. He must reconcile his career goals with his desire to remain a positive role model for his little brother (Craigus R. Johnson). https://www.daarac.ngo https://www.daaracarchive.org/.../hollywood-shuffle-1987... Available on Blu-ray and streaming services.
