Cite your sources plz, or are you just stating your opinion as a fact? Jews are proud of their religion.

The movies were religion blind to appeal to a larger market.

- They tried to hide their "Jewishness", and didn't make "Jewish" movies...and you could argue that still happens

If there was a group of Black folks who did something similar today, they would be called "c00ns".

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

What could the black community do in terms of creating an industry the way Jews did when they created Hollywood? What types of industries could the black community create and control?

Our situations are not comparable.... not even remotely....

To answer your question the same thing that happens whenever black people create anything beneficial in America.

Rosewood, FL Black wall street in Durham and Tulsa OKC, Fort Negro in TX, Seneca Village in NYC


It get's destroyed or stolen from us. Believe me there are plenty of viable industries we have contributed to over the years (Think Detroit) that we get no credit or acknowledgement for. Guess where Henry Ford got his ideas from?

That's only making my point.

...and that's not even talking about how Jewish actors and actresses would change their names
to sound less ethnic - or as you say, "to appeal to a larger market".
