Can somebody link Louis CK for me.? He talks about a time machine and a black guy couldn't go back in time past say 1980. That seems about right. I didn't say white people are better. I don't think that. Enough of us do still, so much that black people still get screwed on a daily basis. I don't understand how this is a debate. I'm glad it doesn't happen to me because I'd go batshit crazy on someone. Some might say that's part of my white privilege. Just being able to THINK that someone fucking me over is going to get theirs. Black people can't do that or there would be trouble.
Hell. I wouldn't stop there. Id start by boycotting the screenings of major Hollywood movies in general. The lack of diversity in casting motion pictures nowadays is sickening. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
It mirrors greater society. Spike Lee couldn't get the studios to fund his movies. He lacked privilege.
And the sad thing is Hollywood thinks it's progessive, when it couldn't be further from the truth. Ian McKellen is right, they are completely delusional. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
I'm gonna let the white males handle this one for me MarAzul. There are people here who actually get it. And let the record show I don't believe for one bit that your daughter was denied at Stanford due to "reasons of diversity"...
I had to look that up. coonery Acting in such a manner as to perpetuate black stereotypes in society such as music videos solely about cars, money and women. P Diddy, Soulja Boy, Most of hip-hop in general, Flava Flav...all examples of coonery
Maybe Hollywood needs to take a giant crash. Their business model doesn't really seem so effective much anymore. While films still make gazzilions, the budgets have to be large and the returns have to be as well. So you don't get as many films. If independent producers and directors can raise their own funds and sell the content directly to companies like Netflix, maybe they'll be able to cast the actors they want. Until you knock out the middle man, you can't bring down the system. But good luck getting changes made in a system of golden bullshit. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
That makes much more sense than boycotting the Oscars. The academy is not really to blame for the lack of diversity in Hollywood movies. It's hard to point to specific movies or actors and say they should have been nominated. For one, I don't think Straight Outta Compton should have been nominated for best picture like that article says.
Really? Well what do you think it really was? I suppose the letter could be some bull shit cover story.
Nothing of substance from any one of them yet. PS I think you are lost, can't give a cogent answer. Whine much is all there is.
