I mean, you dont know there is a problem when you are the problem. And most black filmmakers and directors careers wouldve been over after sports night.
aaron sorkin looked around his writer's room, producers, directors, cameramen, studio heads, etc and never thought anything was strange about them being lily white and 90% male

which is the problem. you then judge people by the bullshyt you see in the media (TV, internet, music, radio, etc.) which purposely aimed at securing ratings by any means necessary.

people who actually interact with individuals outside their bubble (that goes for all races) tend to be like :ohhh:

Yeah, I mean its not a culture shock thing to me. I grew up around different cultures, but as I got older Detroit got more black/arab. But the media agenda setting is SUPER real. I grew my hair out and literally every on was like "aww damn the Weeknd" because white folks (and many nikkas) were so blinded by mass media they literally never seen anyone with free dreads.

Just lost a lot of respect I had for him. I won't be supporting any of his work going forward.

I thought he was being facetious, but apparently, he's serious. Not surprised. I don't watch his shows for a reason, mainly he's too damn pretentious.

Also, I wish they would stop saying black people and women. Because if that "women" means white women, that is a continuing of the problem. White women are not suffering in Hollywood.

@MartyMcFly still dodging this thread, I see. I guess taking a stand against racism and white privilege in the entertainment industry only goes so far when it involves your white hero.:sas2:

I'm not buying that the guy is that stupid. No one is that stupid. Its blatant at this point, everyone knows this, hell Academy awards even had to give Moonlight the Oscar this year so the industry can try and save face after last years all white oscars fiasco, has he been living under a rock? Nah, you aint slick Aaron Sorkin. You just didnt want to comment on it truthfully and offend your white friends.

Your only other option costs a lot of money breh $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
You would literally have to create like at least 6 episodes (ALL professionally done)
Post them on Youtube (at the highest quality)
Pray the people love it and you get 100,000-1,000,000 plays or 30,000-100,000 followers within say a year.(or cheat and pay for the views/followers which is even more $$$$$$$)
Then Netflix,Hulu them will start going :whoo:at you and you can get a good deal because you have proven success
