Blacks are so overrepresented in movies and TV. Even movies set in Medieval Europe have blacks where there were few if any and somehow they’re always wiser than everyone else. It’s like every show has to have the smart gay character now. Of course, if it makes sense for the story, no problem but there are so many times when it’s forced that it’s ridiculous. And they wonder why gaming is bigger than movies these days.
Absolutely true. But when I bought the DVDs "Band of Brothers" I was pleased to see they were historically accurate. Blacks were not in combat roles in the early stages of the war, other than the Red Tail pilots, and certainly weren't in combat roles in the 101st. I'm surprised al pimpton didn't raise a fuss with that other liberal, tom hanks.
Concerning the dearth of blackness at the oscars, maybe America is waking up to the extortion we've suffered. Maybe Americans are becoming aware of the scam of affirmative action, minority business loans, welfare, minority hiring quotas, minority scholarships, ad nauseum.
Maybe America just doesn't want to see blacks who actually aren't talented but are there simply to fill a quota.
Works for me.
Don’t forget commercials.
