    well TBF the last film i liked with an all african american cast was probably friday or dont be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood, there are plenty of good and a few great african american actors and actresses, all of who get there fair share,


    but studio heads will always be white men mainly cause most heads of studios are jewish, and i dont know any big jewish africans :D

    Do we really need another "racist" thread in AH?

    Can we not just go back to bashing single mothers and the Catholic Church?

    Maybe they just didn't know how to market a movie produced by George Lucas and starring Cuba Gooding Jnr, when was the last time either had a good movie?

    Big Momma's House 2 never got an Oscar - proof positive that Hollywood is racist.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,808 ✭✭✭Stained Class


    Maybe they should go back to those old black & white movies that we used to love...

    Is Hollywood racist? ... there has to be racism there.

    But are they that racist to stop such actors as Denzil Washington or Will Smith from making them millions? .... hell no.


    Its all about the money. Its business. Sure over the last decade many a black rapper has gotten a supporting actors role (who genuinely are crap as they arent actors but placed in a movie as they are popular) ... when it comes to making money. hollywood aint racist. despite what samuel l. jackson will say.

    Sammy Davis Jr?

    I never knew he was black.

    Because of Americas racist slave past they seem to feel the need to fall over themselves to prove that they arent racist. And black Americans milk it too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,683 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    To be the first serious drama film to feature an all-black main cast ensemble.

    Obviously black comedies (not to be mistaken with black comedies) have been popular for years.

    Directed by George Lucas too, here's an interview for those that can get it:

    It's hard to tell if he's serious about the trilogy or not...

    Al Jolson was Jewish and, looking at this clip anyway, African. Here he is in one of his classics, "Yes, we have no bananas"



    Who said Hollywood was ever racist?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,450 ✭✭✭✭El Guapo!



    I never knew he was black.

    Ever hear of "Precious" which was directed by Black American director Lee Daniels who also produced "Monster's Ball". Or, how about any of Spike Lee's movies with "Malcolm X" standing out among them? Then there was "The Color Purple" which was directed by Steven Spielberg but featured an all-Black cast.
