Wow!! to my brothers and sisters that are interested in the dynamics of relationships, you have to see "The Diary Of A Tired Black Man" by Tim Alexander. This is a documentary that gives us a reflection of ourselves.. It answered so many questions for me and confirmed many things. Speaking from a black woman's point of view I notice on a daily basis how angry black women are and how they push their angry attitude toward you for no reason- like they go to bed angry and wake up angry and to be honest with you I am sick of it so I can't imagine how men feel. This movie has given me some insight on why there is anger toward men and women, but I still don't excuse it. I have witnessed just anger toward people period from my sisters.... I urge you to watch this film. Kudos to Tim Alexander for exposing the truth. Once you see it please let me know what you thought. I will be an advocate for this film forever. As people some of our attitudes have become a huge issue and how we relate to others. And sometimes the bitterness and hate from my sisters is just too much. I pray this movie will allow women to search deep within themeselves, stop blaming others,do the work and begin the healing journey for themselves. When you have bitterness and hate there is no room for peace.....and in all honesty nobody wants to be around people that are consitently bitter or angry no matter what race you are.
Thank you so much for your support!

"Diary of a Tired Black Man"
I have been advocating this movie for a while. I'm still trying to organize a group viewing as i have the DVD. I couldn't begin to express my elation when seeing a movie that for ONCE showed the other side of the coin. So many movies out there demonize men, Many Black men< as monsters, abusers, rapist and all other such thing. As a black man that was taught and raised to know how a man carries himself by both parents, I found myself getting frustrated with these type films. When I would call them half truth films it seemed like I was speaking a foreign language to some. It's so good to see the truth brought to light.
ReplyDeleteThanks for writing this review! I am also a black woman who is excited about this film. Recently, the general black relationship discussion has devolved into a one-sided pity party with women as the victims. This film made it clear to me that the "angry black woman" syndrome is abusive misdirected anger, not "strength." I am thankful that this film has given the men a visible platform to speak.
