I guess old fat Al hasn’t seen any of the many black comedies and other movies that tend to be heavy on black actors huh? Or heard of Spike Lee? Denzel? Sam Jackson? Halle Berry?
I don’t understand why blacks aren’t upset over the way they are stereotyped in “black” movies and sitcoms. They are always portrayed as loud, obnoxious and good dancers.

The Race Hustler Does Hollywood

“Being that Hollywood is an environment that still resembles 1950s America, it is a context that confirms the language,” he said.
Sharpton did confirm that the National Action Network, as well as the NAACP, the National Urban League and the Black Women’s Roundtable, will work with executives from Sony about ways to increase and improve racial diversity in the entertainment industry.
“Our interest is in changing Hollywood ... seeing to it that Sony is on the right side of changing Hollywood,” said Mark Morial, the president of the National Urban League who appeared alongside Sharpton during today’s new conference.
Both men concluded their comments by condemning the hack itself, with Sharpton slamming the “dangerous precedent” that was set by, what Sharpton described as a foreign government being able to “manipulate and bully the American corporate structure.”

Will the ‘rev’ now pay his tax bill and outstanding debts? I hope Sony goes under in a big way.

He also denounced the hackers, believed to be North Korean dictator Kim Jong-uns henchmen, as bullies and called pulling The Interview from theaters in the wake of terror-attack threats a dangerous precedent of real concern. But hey, that's not going to stop the blacks from getting some cash flow from Sony, is it?

I remember the results when the experts let a regular guy design a car.
I bet an Al movie would be even worse.
To: dennisw
If this is true....I’m done with Sony.

This is a town where everyone is reachin' for the top
This is a place where second best will never do
It's okay to want to shine but once you step across that line
No matter where you hide I'm comin' after you
Shakedown, breakdown, takedown
Everybody wants into the crowded line
Breakdown, takedown, you're busted
Shakedown, breakdown honey
Just about the time you're thinkin' it's alright
Breakdown, takedown, you're busted, oh you're busted
