Review Copyright Rose Cooper, 2000 Review URL: http://www.3blackchicks.com/bamsbamboozled.html
You are about to read the most schizophrenically lengthy review I have ever written - which, ironically, marries it perfectly to the movie being reviewed: Spike Lee's controversial BAMBOOZLED. Here we go...
The Story (WARNING: **spoilers contained below**): Black TV writer Pierre DeLacroix (Damon Wayans) is charged by the White producer of the Continental Network Systems station Mr. Dunwitty (Michael Rapaport) to come up with an all-Black comedy show that will boost CNS's ratings. But when the "streetwise" Dunwitty rejects the Harvard-educated DeLacroix's plans to create "the next Cosby show", DeLa, along with his assistant, Sloane Hopkins (Jada Pinkett-Smith) decides to create a show so offensive that DeLa would be fired [and thus allowed to get out of his contract...since, after all, he has "a mortgage to pay". Don't ask how being fired will help pay that mortgage, though. Too much logic, and all].
Inspired by homeless Black street tap dancer Manray (Savion Glover) and his partner Womack (Tommy Davidson), DeLa and Sloane come up with the most heinous show imaginable: "Mantan the New Millennium Minstrel Show", in which Manray would play Mantan and Womack would play "Sleep 'n Eat"; they both would be made up in blackface ("Black actors in blacker blackface"), and called "Two Reeee-aaaal Coons". Manray and Womack, being in a state of poverty, agree to this (Womack more reluctantly so than Manray, who'll do anything "longas the hoofin's real"), but DeLa is ultimately undone when to his surprise not only does the "nigga"-spouting Dunwitty love the concept, the American TV audience eats it up. Sloane and DeLa have a hard time living with this - but not as hard a time as Sloane's brother Julius, aka Big Black Africa (Mos Def), a member of the MauMau rap group who takes Issue with the "comically" blackened minstrels, at the same time as he and his fellow malt liquor-guzzling self-righteous MauMaus use the word "nigga" as much if not more than the minstrels themselves.
The Upshot: And the schizophrenic part? BAMBOOZLED worked for me on so many levels at first, that I was so utterly disappointed when it just kept going on and on, repeating itself without saying anything New, eventually running out of juice well before it was over. Had I stopped watching it at a certain point, I might've declared it a Masterpiece. As it is, I can neither fully praise, nor fully denigrate, this movie. And the funny thing is, {SOME} Black folks will try to take me to task for that very thing ["'BAMBOOZLED' was dope!, you Oreo traitor!" ... "'BAMBOOZLED' was wack!, you Bougie traitor!". Can't win for losing.]
As a visionary tale, BAMBOOZLED knows few equals. Spike Lee nailed many of the dysfunctional Issues Black folks in America have as A People (and, of course, as the many sub-cultures within the larger, mostly-undefined Black Culture), and well as The Issue itself: what exactly does it mean to be Black in America? Is DeLa less Black than Julius because Julius is "keepin' it real"? Is Dunwitty - clearly a Caucasian - *more* Black than DeLa because Dunwitty considers himself "street"? Is the White MauMau Blacker than *all* of them? And when it gets right down to it, is there even such a thing as one single "Black Culture"?
Though Lee's targets were many, and wide (and, depending on who you ask - for instance, Hollywood's Finest Black Comedy Stars, many of whom loudly questioned Lee's "right" to do this movie - just plain off-base), I found his aim fairly accurate, for the most part. All the "nigga"-slinging, all the malt-liquor drinking, all the empty mau-mauing - even the mental separation of Us into "Blacks" and "Negroes" (or, telling it like it 'tis, "Niggers") that too many of us (me included) do...when Spike aimed, and hit, it spoke to many of the things I've long felt were cultural ills with Us here in this so-called Melting Pot. The most heinous ill being that WE so gladly supply the Cork, and willingly apply the ugly Blackface, to Ourselves.
But - and this isn't a small thing - being a Visionary is only half the battle; to have a successful movie, one must also have successful acting and directing, a tight storyline, and cohesive editing. And that is where BAMBOOZLED ultimately failed.
Granted, a Spike Lee joint doesn't always follow the typical moviemaking blueprint of your standard motion picture. To that end, the weird jumpcuts, the unnatural-feeling scenes, and the strange editing, were Lee trademarks. But this film couldn't afford Lee's quirks *and* his inability to cut out the repetition on the one hand and "grow" the story on the other *and* an in-your-face storyline, all at the same time. That, on top of the unbelievability of both Mantan's and Sleep 'n Eat's Instant Revelations with no good cause (except, of course, the "wake up!" caused by looking at your cork-blackfaced image in the mirror, which should make *anybody* say "hmmm...maybe this isn't a good idea after all"), and Damon Wayans' bizarre choice of a one-dimensional portrayal of DeLacroix, almost killed the joy of the BAMBOOZLED philosophy for me.
Great acting by Jada Pinkett-Smith, Michael Rappaport, and an interesting turn by rapper Mos Def as Big Black Africa, could not overcome Lee's lack of tight focus, the far-too-easy "instant" acceptance of the minstrel show by the audience, the completely incredulous "payoff" involving the MauMaus and Mantan (my eyes truly rolled), or Wayans' just plain bad acting - and worse, the bad decision to let him do the narrative voiceover. The "jolly nigger"-type collectibles, and the Black actors of the past who did what they had to do - and having done so, *allowed* a Spike Lee, a Damon Wayans, et al, to be where they are today - should have supplied the final narrative. Too bad they weren't really allowed to Speak.
The "Black Factor" [ObDisclaimer: We Are Not A Monolith]:
"We Are Not A Monolith". It is my daily mantra. And it applies oh so well to BAMBOOZLED. But what, exactly, does it mean?
It means that somewhere out there, there's a Harvard-educated, stick-up-the-butt, "Negro"-labelling, confused DeLa; and a status-seeking, hard-working, bougie, confused Sloane; and a tap-dancing, fast-talking, struggling-to-get-by Manray and Womack; and a malt liquor-drinking, gun-slinging, pseudo-revolutionary Julius.
And like it or not, they're ALL Black. Which, of course, lays waste to the one huge stereotype We seem to be portrayed as on the Idiot Box that Pierre set out to feed. If this, more so than the viewer's experience of the acting itself, was The Ultimate Point of BAMBOOZLED, then bad acting/directing/editing or not, BAMBOOZLED is indeed a Masterpiece. One that, when all is said and done, should be seen, no matter your color.
Bammer's Bottom Line: BAMBOOZLED, conceptually, is something that Spike Lee should be applauded for. Would that the finished product were as great as the concept behind it. It pains me to say that; after all, I drove 88 miles to The Hood just to see a movie that a lot of theater owners in predominantly White neighborhoods were apparently too chicken to show. I desperately wanted to love this movie for both its message and the talent behind it. The message came through loud and clear; but judging BAMBOOZLED on its creative merits alone, we have been Hoodwinked.
BAMBOOZLED (mixed rating): A greenlight rating for what visionary Spike Lee *tried* to Say; but... ...a cautionary yellowlight for the way director Spike Lee Said it.
Spike, I gotta go with what DeLa's mama said about him: you disappoint me.

tktest - Test Tcl/Tk applications
This package provides helpers for testing Tcl/Tk GUIs.
The mechanism for testing is the send command, so the environment and the application to be tested must allow send. All client commands take the optional argument -async, which causes it to use the asynchronous version of send.
This command initializes the tktest package to test an application.
The appName must identify the application to be tested in a way that works with send.
If the application is restarted, ::tktest::init must be called again to redo the initializatons needed in the application. After ::tktest::init has been called, all other commands will go to that application.
Locate a widget in the application.
Execute a command within the client.
Press a button. The button is identified by text and pos, which are equivalent to ::tktest::widget's -text and -pos. Any widget with an invoke command can be used.
Find coordinates for a widget. If no extra arguments are given, the center of the widget is returned as a list of x/y, relative to the widget's toplevel. Any extra arguments are called as a subcommand on the widget to ask for a coordinate or bounding box. A coordinate is returned as is. A bounding box is assumed to be relative to the widget and the center of the box is returned, relative to the widget's toplevel.
Invoke a menu. Each argument is a glob pattern describing a menu element's label. All entries but the last should be cascades.
Mouse click at a coordinate. The mouse button is selected by button which is either a number, "left" or "right". If y is not given, x may be a two element list. Coordinates are relative to current toplevel.
Generate a key event.
Generate a series of key events, one for each char in string. Currently all alphanumeric chars, space and newline are supported.
Execute a client command and wait for a focus change in the application. This is used for buttons or menus that create a dialog or other new window.
Invoke a context menu by right clicking at a coordinate, invoke the menu and dismiss the menu. The coordinate is a two element x/y list. The patterns describe the menu as in ::tktest::menu.
tktest::init MyApp # Press button labeled "Run" tktest::press Run # Select Menu entry "Exit" in menu "File" tktest::menu File Exit # Right click mouse over the listbox's second element and select # the Delete entry from the popup menu. set w [tktest::widget -class Listbox] set c [tktest::coord $w bbox 1] tktest::mouse right $c tktest::menu "Delete" tktest::key Escape # The above can also be done with this tktest::contextMenu $c "Delete" # Read the text from the first Label in the window set t [tktest::widget -class Label -pos 0 -eval "cget -text"] # Type an A at the end of the entry tktest::cmd focus [tktest::widget -class Entry] tktest::key End tktest::key A

What is Sefarad?¶
Sefarad is an environment developed to explore, analyse and visualize data. This environmet has a modular structure.
Architecture¶
Sefarad environment is divided in three main modules, each one is focused in one concrete task:
- Visualisation, the main function of this module is to represent data which were processed and draw different charts to visualize interesting data. This visualisation is structured in several dashboards, which are web pages oriented to display all the collected information . In addition, these dashboards are divided in other components (Polymer Web Components) that globally compound the dashboard itself.
- ElasticSearch [1], represents the persistence layer of the project and stores all the amount of data needed for the visualisation.
- Luigi, is used as an orchestrator to build sequences of tasks named pipelines through analytic services and elasticSearch, in order to facilitate analysis. Luigi is also used to populate elasticSearch with data.
In this figure is a detailed view of the architecture described above.
Dashboards¶
Sefarad framework has multiple predefined dashboards which are ready to be used. Due to its high flexibility, it enables to display any kind of information, either user custom data sets or others included by default in the project.
In this section we are going to explain each dashboard, detailing most user-attractive functionalities using a predefined dataset and presenting the real value of the tool, so anyone can use Sefarad framework by applying their customized data.
Due to the modular architecture offered by Sefarad framework, each dashboard has its own structure regardless, being able to interact with the components without influecing the rest. Moreover we are going to focus on explain what can be done in every dashboard through a case study without deepening inside its internal behaviour.
SPARQL DBpedia [2]¶
DBpedia is a crowd-sourced community effort to extract structured information from Wikipedia and make this information available on the Web. DBpedia allows you to ask sophisticated queries against Wikipedia, and to link the different data sets on the Web to Wikipedia data.
This dashboard provides a graphic interface to ask SPARQL queries against DBpedia.
Tourpedia [2]¶
TourPedia is the result of an European project. It is a demo of OpenNER (Open Polarity Enhanced Name Entity Recognition). It contains information about accommodations, restaurants, points of interest and attractions of different places in Europe.
TourPedia provides two main datasets: Places and Reviews. Each place contains useful information such as the name, the address and its URI to Facebook, Foursquare, GooglePlaces and Booking. Reviews contain also some useful details ready for us to exploit.
This dashboard also allows you to ask SPARQL quereies against our TourPedia database.
Financial Twitter Tracker [2]¶
Financial Twitter Tracker is an R&D project of GSI Group that contains information about people talking about brands in social media like Twitter, Facebook, and more...
This dashboard provides interactive Web Components to visualize people’s opinion polarities and also has a SPARQL editor to ask queries about these opinions using RDF specifications.
Footballmood [3]¶
Footballmood is an application developed for sentiment analysis of football in Twitter. This dashboard provides interactive Web Components to visualize people’s opinion polarities and also has a SPARQL editor to ask queries about football players against DBpedia.
Aspects [4]¶
Aspects dashboard is an analyser developed for aspects sentiment analysis of restaurant reviews. This is the result of analysis showed on a dashboard based on web components and D3.js. To view your data you can use widgets and visualize it through them.
The data used for the dashboard is the Semeval 2015 ABSA dataset (Task 12) for restaurant domain, available here
GSI Crawler [5]¶
This dashboard is useful to the analysis of comments from external aplications like Amazon and Foursquare. The user will choose the type of analysis he wants to carry out (Emotions, Sentiments or Fake Analysis) and he will also supply, for instance, a direct URL to a Amazon’s Product.
GSI Crawler functionalities relies on enqueue system. The website generates a query with relevant information, such as the url, the website, the analysis type that is going to be performed etc. This parameters trigger a Luigi pipeline, which is a sequence of tasks that follow a depedency tree each other. These tasks fetch the information from the provided link, preprocess it, run the sentiment or emotion analysis using Senpy tool [6] and finally store it in elasticSearch so it can be accessed from the client.
The website receives the path where the result has been saved, retrieving the information and making a query to elasticSearch to add a new card within the user interface containing the output data.
GSICrawler tool is directly connected with a Luigi task service, adding a new task to a remote queue everytime an analysis is requested, and retrieving the result from the elasticSearch index obtained. The queue service is detailed in Pipelines > Luigi Service section.

A new management software is installed in the office that allows access to more structured information, without having to go around to the right and left to verify the data of a case. It's a big step forward! It is a pity that it was developed again outside the company network and that it needs credentials different from those of the PC to use it. You have to set the new password to use it, how do you proceed?
When the new software asks you to create the password for your user, put the usual password you use for the PC, for gmail and for other services you use often, at least you are sure not to forget it!
When creating the new password, open your complex password management software, create a new one, and enter it being careful that it matches the one provided by the software ... you won't remember it by heart, but it will be there when you need it!
Another password? uhm ... you will use your secret technique that allows you to create long, complicated passwords, but that only you can understand / remember. Your coding is infallible, so far.
The password "unitedgo" will be great, and since it's the fourth time you've changed it, add a nice 4!
Check if your IT support manager has any recommendations on how to proceed, waiting for the application to be integrated with your local PC user, eliminating the need for another password!

DH_USRLOCAL(1) Debhelper DH_USRLOCAL(1) NAME dh_usrlocal - migrate usr/local directories to maintainer scripts SYNOPSIS dh_usrlocal [debhelperÂ options] [-n] DESCRIPTION dh_usrlocal is a debhelper program that can be used for building packages that will provide a subdirectory in /usr/local when installed. It finds subdirectories of usr/local in the package build directory, and removes them, replacing them with maintainer script snippets (unless -n is used) to create the directories at install time, and remove them when the package is removed, in a manner compliant with Debian policy. These snippets are inserted into the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of debhelper maintainer script snippets. If the directories found in the build tree have unusual owners, groups, or permissions, then those values will be preserved in the directories made by the postinst script. However, as a special exception, if a directory is owned by root.root, it will be treated as if it is owned by root.staff and is mode 2775. This is useful, since that is the group and mode policy recommends for directories in /usr/local. OPTIONS -n, --noscripts Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts. NOTES Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts. CONFORMS TO Debian policy, version 2.2 SEE ALSO debhelper(7) This program is a part of debhelper.

I have no idea where I got the idea to try Diphenhydramine from, because information on it is not as widespread as other legal drugs, and it was actually in my medicine closet. I guess I must have been very desperate to change my perception of the world one night, and so I rooted through my medicine closet and took only the meds with only one active ingredient. I managed to find a bottle of Stop and Shop Allergy medicine, and after looking it up on this, I decided to down the whole bottle (295mg). The only active ingredient was Diphenhydramine. This drug was one that did not seem to have a huge fan base, but I am always willing to try new and inventive ways of intoxicating myself.
I didnít really feel much for the first 40-50 minutes. About an hour after drinking the nasty liquid, I got the weirdest feeling in the back of my head. I really donít remember much after that; I do remember having a strange feeling in my entire body, which I can only describe as a body buzz. In school the next day I almost blacked out a few times, because I was still relatively high. This drug is the most like a roller coaster than any that I have tried to date. Sometimes, even while sitting in a chair or something, I felt like I was falling. I remember reaching for papers in English class, and feeling like I was falling out of my desk. Man oh man. There are also the effects on vision after the drug has stopped rampaging the senses. I noticed that everything looked slightly more harsh and real after this trip. There are also occasionally flashbacks, and bright flashes out of the corners of my eyes.
This is the strongest effect that I have gotten from any drug that I have ever taken. Diphenhydramine is a really scary/fun/interesting drug, that is totally lost to the general public. Also, a word to the wise, never trip in school!

lind.r_backends.design package¶
Submodules¶
lind.r_backends.design.taguchi module¶
taguchi: Utilities for using the Taguchi method of experimental design.
Developer Note: One of the reasons for including R backends in this package is to make existing DOE packages available to python users. Howerver, many of these R packages use custom R classes instead of R dataframes. Rather than translating these classes into R dataframes and then converting to pandas dataframes, I opted to print the class. Its a quick and dirty interim solution.
-
lind.r_backends.design.taguchi.
taguchi_choose
(factor_type_a: int = 0, factor_level_a: int = 0, factor_type_b: int = 0, factor_level_b: int = 0, num_interactions: int = 0) → None¶ Prints a recommended Taguchi design (orthogonal array) based on the inputes. The function taguchi_design can be used to see the recommended design.
- Parameters
factor_type_a (int) – the level of factor group a; should be >= 2
factor_level_a (int) – the number of factors in factor group a; should be >= 2
factor_type_b (int) – the level of factor group b; should be >= 2
factor_level_b (int) – the number of factors in factor group b; should be >= 2
num_interactions (int) – the number of interactions across the factor groups
- Returns
nothing is returned
- Return type
None
Examples
>>> taguchi_choose( >>> factor_type_a = 2, factor_level_a = 3, >>> factor_type_b = 0, factor_level_b = 0, >>> num_interactions = 1)
-
lind.r_backends.design.taguchi.
taguchi_design
(design: str = 'L4_2') → None¶ Prints out the details of the recommended Taguchi design.
- Parameters
design (str) – a string defining the name of the taguchi orthogonal array of interest
- Returns
nothing is returned
- Return type
None
Examples
>>> taguchi_design(design = "L4_2")

Developer Documentation¶
master
| develop
¶
Usage, endpoint info, and other user documentation¶
Extensive user documentation is available at either of the following sites:
- http://api.pma2020.org
- http://api-docs.pma2020.org
Installation¶
System dependencies¶
Clone the project¶
- Change directory to
PATH
where you want to clone:cd PATH
- Clone:
git clone https://github.com/PMA-2020/pma-api.git
Virtual environment (optional, but recommended)¶
A Python virtual environment is a way to isolate applications and their dependencies from one another in order to avoid conflicts. We recommend that you install virtualenv. The virtualenv documentation has installation steps as well as more information about the usefulness of virtual environments. Here’s a summary of the installation steps:
- Install
virtualenv
globally:python3 -m pip install virtualenv
- Change directory to where
pma-api
was cloned:cd PATH/pma-api
- Create a virtual environment called
env
:virtualenv env
IMPORTANT: If you do not create a virtual environment, makefile commands will not work. To get them to work without a virtual environment, in the makefile you would have to change PYTHON=./env/bin/python3
to PYTHON=python3
.
Install project dependencies¶
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
Create the database (optional)¶
- Create the database via the following
makefile
command:make db
This will execute a script that populates a database using data taken from thedata
directory. In a properly set up staging or production environment, PostgreSQL will be used. In a development environment, SQLite is used. This step is considered optional in a development environment as there should already be an up-to-datedev.db
in the root directory. - Examine database to verify that all looks well. (optional) This can be done via CLI or GUI tool, such as recommended previously.
Running locally¶
- Run
pma-api
on a local server process via the following makefile command:make serve
- If no virtual environment is set up, run
make serve-no-env
instead, or follow the stepped marked “IMPORTANT” under the “Virtual environment” setup step.
- If no virtual environment is set up, run
- Verify that it is running in the browser by going to:
http://localhost:5000/v1/resources
- Navigate the API further by either (a) utilizing the URL links shown in the browser, or (b) looking at the available endpoints in the pma-api documentation.
- Read the pma-api documentation for more information on use.

Actually the Nostalgia Critic's review of the T&J movie is why I watched the show again! Hah!
I hadn't seen his classic T&J review yet though. Thanks for the link.
| It's kinda sad to see the attempted continuations flop. |
This isn't surprising at all. Tom & Jerry fills a really weird "cartoons for adults" niche that doesn't really exist in the same form anymore... or at least has drastically changed over time.
Today, "cartoons for adults" is pretty much filled with shows like South Park, Family Guy (is that show even still on?) and those types of shows. They're more like sitcom/satire. Modern animated slapstick is pretty much reserved for shows clearly targeting the younger audience, and as the Critic points out in that video you linked... those shows are more "cartoonish" and less hard-hitting (probably
because they're targeting the younger audience).
That said... the "Itchy & Scratchy" shorts on the Simpsons were actually surprisingly close. They were clearly parodying T&J and were using extreme exaggeration to make fun of how violent the show was... but if you get past that... those shorts are actually
really funny in the same way that T&J was.
I mean... seriously. Watch it I&S again:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3PDKESyHj8
It's funny in all the same ways that T&J was. Sure... not
as funny (at least not without having the context of being a T&J parody), but still.
The Critic makes another really good point: T&J just needs to be shorts. ~7 minutes. The routine gets old if you do it too long... and it gets boring if you slow it down to stretch it out. That format doesn't really exist on TV and in theaters... so there's no real commercial market for it.
.... or at least there
wasn't. This kind of format is perfect for something like a web series. A modern adaptation of T&J could thrive as a YouTube series if done properly. A short 7 minute video once every couple of months. But again... maybe that simply isn't enough content to be profitable on its own. *shrug*
Though now... T&J has been butchered so bad that the
real target audience (adults) won't bother watching it since they associate it with targeting children. So I don't think it'll ever have a revival.


Stereotype Threat
A Correlate of Diversity
25 July 2015
Stereotype Threat was a completely new subject when I woke up today, not part of my direct experience. Intuitively, the claims about its effects seem reasonable, just as when athletes get "psyched out" during competition. My lack of awareness no doubt demonstrates the validity of one commentator's admonishments about a new book on the topic: "make sure your white men get a copy of it." Ouch. I thought I would explore criticisms of the theory and studies of it, not because I dispute anything but just to examine that aspect. The charges include lack of study control groups, failure to reproduce test findings, publishing self-bias, as well as attribution to other causes such as test anxiety. Even if the studies are flawed, they have helped to both clarify who is vulnerable and what circumstances are likely to provoke matters. In the end, although it's effects seem difficult to measure satisfactorily, we can't entirely dismiss the effects of Stereotype Threat; it is but another aspect of the overall diversity problems that plague the STEM sector. As with other parts of the diversity domain, research related to Stereotype Threat must shift more of its focus to understanding what methods are effective in reducing Stereotype Threat's impact in the workplace.
