Are there any Black actresses still working ?
I don’t need to read the story:
They’re pretty, and can stick out both their chest and butt while reciting their lines.
Bless them.
No it doesn't. Bad grammar notwithstanding, getting one of those awards just says on which side of the political spectrum you fall.
"Fahrenheit 9/11" did for the Oscars what obozo's Nobel did for that award: Proved it was meaningless and purely political.
So according to this article, minorities are underrepresented in Hollywood... which is bad, supposedly...so the writer must be similarly outraged that fags are so prevalent there...much more than the 2% of the population they actually represent.
It’s interesting how none of these morons fret about there being too many blacks on TV, in the movies, or in sports. But, let white people get on covers of magazines that are largely read by white people, or dominate any kind of awards, then the self-flagellation starts.
The only time the morons whine about too many blacks is when they are talking about prison population. Of course, they never say anything about too many blacks committing crimes, just that there are too many of them in prison.
"When I go to [film studio] offices, I don't see black faces except the security guard who signs me in ... This industry is so far behind sports iT's ridiculous."
He is right, you know. Sports teams should represent America -- football and basketball teams should be at least between 60% and 70% White.
John: Are we going to be stuck with this special character thing forever?
For the same reason there were no black people in the first Star Wars. Cause hollywood is the most racist place on earth.
Because they’re judged by talent, not race? Just guessing.
Looks like they closed comments on that article.
If he really wanted actresses of color -- or actors -- presumably he could have gotten them.
Instead he writes a long article belly-aching about a "problem" that seems to be of his own creation.
And you posted it, too. Why? It's an entirely bogus controversy.
Curiously, his colleague who interviewed a panel of studio heads didn't have any trouble getting an African-American (or mixed race) female studio head, which one might assume would have been a lot harder that rounding up some Black actress or other.
In ancient Rome, actors had the same social status as slaves, laborers and prostitutes. Many of them were slaves themselves and a Roman citizen was not allowed to be an actor.
Why nobody should give a bleep!
