Are You Going To See The Sex In The City Movie?
I'm not. I never understood the appeal of the show beyond it's celebration and catering to the lives of white women. I didn't watch the series and from what I understood, they never had a regular women of color appear in the cast, even though the show was shot in NYC. I guess they were using Woody Allen's version of NYC, because he never has people of color in his movies either. I know they had black men on the show and handled it in the same taboo way every other show has.
Now, there is all this buzz about "groups" of women going to see the movie. Women of color should stay at home. I'm not supporting "their" little flick. I can't name a white woman I know that saw Waiting To Exhale and I still run into white women who have NEVER seen The Color Purple. I'm tired of their lives being celebrated and ours being ignored. Girlfriends ran eight years and never got the celebrated fanfare of the white women on Sex in the City or on Friends.
