Malcolm D. Lee Wrote Jordan the Way America Sees Single, Professional Black Women
Pitiful
I know The Best Man: The Final Chapters was released last year, but I just watched it.
The Best Man is centered on marriage. The movie title is a position in a wedding party. Every character in The Best Man gets married except Jordan Armstrong, the professional Black woman.
Let’s review the cast of female characters, shall we?
Robyn was an aloof creative who finally found her way, but when Harper proposed, she barely had a five-month career plan let alone a five-year career plan.
Candace, Murch’s wife, was a reformed stripper turned graduate student who was running a school/academic program with Murch.
Mia was a stay-at-home mom married to NFL star, Lance.
Shelby was a reformed thot (nice word for the garden tool) and mean girl turned reality star.
Meanwhile, Jordan, the one woman who graduated college and immediately began working in her field, climbed the corporate ladder, and had great accomplishments never got married; YET, she facilitated everyone’s problems and served as Godmother to Mia’s children but sat and ate alone on an exotic island while the others coupled up. They didn’t even put her with Lance.
