Coming to a theater near you: Al Sharpton.
Hollywood came to the Rev. Al Thursday as embattled Sony exec Amy Pascal met privately with the black leader for 90 minutes in a bid to fix the fallout from the cyberhacking leak of embarrassing, racially charged emails.
Pascal agreed to let Sharpton have a say in how Sony makes motion pictures, in an effort to combat what he called “inflexible and immovable racial exclusion in Hollywood.”
“We have agreed to having a working group deal with the racial bias and lack of diversity in Hollywood,” said Sharpton.
He said Sony would work closely with his National Action Network, the National Urban League, the NAACP and the Black Women’s Round Table to “see if we can come up with an immediate plan to deal with it.”
The meeting, held behind closed doors at the Greenwich Hotel, also included National Urban League president Marc Morial.
He was mum on the exact details of the plan to work with Sony but added, “We are not going to be satisfied until we see something concrete done.”
He also denounced the hackers, believed to be North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un’s henchmen, as bullies and called pulling “The Interview” from theaters in the wake of terror-attack threats a “dangerous precedent of real concern.”
“We are outraged by the bullying that is being done right before Christmas around this hacking,” Sharpton said.

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.”

Man! You can’t even make this stuff up.
He gets a cut to buy his silence or approval.
Good! Lets start by cutting black actors numbers to 13% like the population of the country.
But hey, that's not going to stop the blacks from getting some cash flow from Sony, is it?
