“Colorism does not equate to racism,”

That's a good one. I'll have to remember it.

But there was so much hype over that Black Panther superhero movie........

I never saw the movie but understand it was a huge blockbuster. Was it not a blockbuster in China? We’ve also heard that China is such a big market, that Hollywood tries to appease Chinese sensibilities in storylines nowadays.

Because BLM is organized by China.

There’s black faces all over television now. I’m thinking of the news broadcasts and commercials. I don’t watch the entertainment programs. Thank God for streaming.

I think this is fake news.

I've seen nothing but black faces on every new series, commercials, movies. Evidently Hollywood is all in for black actors, and even the news stations have majority black reporters now.

I agree. Every black actor in Hollywood must be employed to get the kind of demographics you see in media these days.

We rarely watch television any more. But when we do, my wife and I laugh at how every commercial is dominated by black actors.

There will only be a white male in the commercial if he can be portrayed as a fool who needs to be lectured to by the wise black man or black woman. And every couple portrayed MUST be interracial.

If you were a Martian, landed on earth, and watched American television, you would be convinced that America was majority black instead of 13% of the population.

It might not be fake news, but it is outdated.

The study, published in October 2017, examined more than 3,000 films from between 2009 and 2015...

This is probably when all the Marvel movies came through. There's definitely been a shift in the last 5 years.

China is racist, and is asshoe.

The Black Acting School really paid off.

Simple, if it’s done for the Chinese, it can’t be racist.

Outdated news, but notice Disney shrunk the black actor and blocked out the Arab in their Star Wars Poster

Part of the reason (well, before the chick ruined it) I stopped watching Dr. Who is it seemed like the cast was 30% black - and every hot white chick has a black buck b/f.

England is about 3% black. There are fewer blacks per capita there than Pacific Islanders here in the USA.
