Can you say “over-compensation”? I thought I was watching the BET awards.

I saw this coming after the 2016 protests.

The truth is, most of the "black" movies are unwatchable propaganda or they just suck as entertainment.

Are the Oscars "So White"?

No...the Oscars are "SO WHAT?".

I learned a couple of decades ago that if all the actors in a movie are black, I don’t need to see it. It’s not that I’m racist. Rather, it is that it is a movie created for the black culture, about the black culture. They are pretty much all comedies or romantic comedies, but the ones I saw were not funny to me because they did not relate to my culture.

I’m sure people in the culture they were written around do enjoy them, though. That’s just not MY culture.

And I find the same thing is now true with romantic comedies in general. The culture has changed enough that my wife and I (63 years old) simply can’t relate to them. Gone are the days of movies like Sleepless in Seattle.

I’m sure young people can relate to them though.

For comedy to be funny, it has to be based on reality. If it is based on a reality that is from a culture that is not mine, it just doesn’t work.

Though we did enjoy Under the Tuscan Sun...
