    @highlight #highlight The movie would have been a smash Hit if Stephanie if the original cast it didn't need all that star power that's where the black mind in entertainment loses its grip all it needed was talent and just to put it out there if Stephanie Mills was in that movie which I think they're going to do it again somebody's been rumbling and I think somebody's going to buy the rights but if she did it it would have been a hit Diana Ross did it and because the industry was against Donald Ross against her and the lady sings the blues and all that stuff they just wanted to crush her acting career by panning the movie and that's exactly what it done she's never been on the screen again she was ridiculed she looked horrible in the movie she look like an old crackhead in that movie it was the worst thing that she did for her career and then she continued to cover other people's songs and squashed their careers like Martha Wash after all what she went through with black box she came out with her carry-on album and Diana Ross 3 months later review released her version and squashed him out to watch recording Korea Diana Ross is a nemesis she has bread out of the black community he is no longer black if you look at her offspring when she had her family on stage for her celebration they're all white her and Grace Jones they have been written out of the black lexicon don't mention her in any favorable words she's done nothing for the black community she is the reason why we have Oprah and Oprah is a nemesis to all black people everywhere all over the world she's a lesbian she goes to Africa he does lesbians I mean just really now you are sexy red we need more Stephanie Mills and less people like you
