You have made some interesting points. History is not exactly old news though when coming to casting roles in hollywood. They do typecast. I do not know the percentage of black actors, but each and every one has a story of directors saying 'we can't have a black in that role' or some sort. That is my opinion on it.
They typecast whites too don't they? Would they cast a white guy to play MLK?
I am not referring to historical figures. I am talking about typecasting, as in casting a person in a role they believe that particular ethnicity belongs in. Hollywood claims to be liberal and respectful of liberal democrat ideals but they most certainly are not. Think about it. Hollywood mirrors the democrat party that most hollywood personalities are members of. I would also add they are a bit schizophrenic and hypocritical but sounds a bit redundant.
Nope. That's street sweeping the democrat trash. Besides his natty dreads look like they need a little caretaking.
OH MY FRICKING GOD...LOL! HEHEHEHEHEHE
