OR, if the couple is white, the woman is smart and the dude and idiot.
Just imagine how many people would be out of work if it wasn’t for making crappy movies. All that movie funding also takes money away from donations to dems.
It’s an old concept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Negro
Much like Springtime for Hitler!
They don’t care. They’re not doing it to make money. They’re doing it to support a narrative.
No problem...let them keep wasting their money.
Bears repeating.
I believe the star of the movie and the director/writer both have a white parent are considered high yellows by their black brethren. You can’t make this stuff up.
Hollywood is full of the biggest racists, sexists, pedos, liars on the planet.
They only decry stuff when they are caught.
Then I guess “To Kill a Mockingbird” was a flop.
As was “Glory.”
And “West Side Story.”
And “Do the Right Thing.”
And “American History X.”
And “A Raisin in the Sun.”
And “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.”
And “In the Heat of the Night.”
And “Cotton Comes to Harlem.”
And “Sounder.”
And “Malcolm X.”
And “Green Book.”
And “A Bronx Tale.”
And “The Color Purple.”
And “Monster’s Ball.”
And “12 Angry Men.”
And “Sergeant Rutledge.”
And “A Raisin in the Sun.”
And “Paris Blues.”
And “Mississippi Burning.”
And “Buck and the Preacher.”
And “Blazing Saddles.”
And “Cotton Club.”
And “A Soldier’s Story.”
And “School Daze.”
And “Amistad.”
And “Driving Miss Daisy.”
And “The Green Mile.”
And “Finding Forrester.”
And “Men of Honor.”
Nope, never in the history of Hollyweird has even a single movie about racism so much as broken even.
A few sources to choose from, but there are HUNDREDS of well-made movies to watch from back in the day when Hollywood actually DELIVERED. Some overlap in the lists posted, but these movies are all so good! :)

The genius of Mel Brooks and comics who followed in his approach, left no stone unturned and went after EVERYONE. Made fun of EVERYONE. Left us all laughing with and at each other.
Try making a movie like that now and watch what happens. Sad.
“The American Society of Magical Negroes”. Dang! I must’ve missed me this epic movie!
I’m always outa the loop 😢
A limit over $1 million box office after debuting in 1141 theatres. I can’t find what the production cost was.
Hollywood doesn’t make movies for me and hasn’t for decades.
Now some DVD releases of old movie come with a warning about “racism” in the movies.
The Gary Cooper movie Unconquered (1947) has such a warning about the portrayal of American Indians. which I found to be very realistic.(I do study history of that time)
And a few nights ago I saw a TCM broadcast of THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD(1926) in which a warning about “racism” at that time. As I watched the movie I kept waiting for the racism but did not see it. There was a happy black man in a few scenes, two black dancers in a saloon scene and a Jewish merchant but nothing overt racist. Maybe they are seeing “racism” where there was no racism.
The host, Ben Mankiewicz, of the show also found “racism” In the old movie Africa Screams with Abbot and Costello about an ape that falls in love with Costello, so the producers claimed the ape was not female but a male causing one wag to say that gay was now OK in Hollywood, causing the host to cry about “such a racist statement”.
the DERPS are desperate to get Obama’s planned race war up and running
