Can Black people create shows like The Wire or Breaking Bad?

[MostReal]

white executives did not want michael jackson on MTV inspite of the masterpiece he made...

what are you talking about?

I understand his angle but...
the guy is clearly misinformed

 

[???]

of course they do, because they tell you, show you, fun you, what to watch...

you said: It make me very SAD when people like Mona Scott Young, Shonda Rhimes and Madea, are being touted as the best the black community has to offer in these modern times with all their basic generic subpar stuff.

Mona Scott Young (VH1, music manager histroy), Shonda Rhimes (ABC network Grey Anatomy) and Madea (Tyler Perry, lived in his car) jeezus...their roles are not even typical for easy success...and their TV shows are on white network TV...while those directors/producers have made money...is the "futuristic" media content ahead of the community? BET tried to get TJ Holmes from CNN and it didnt pan...

If i ask a question now if blacks can make GTA5 you got fools on here that will say we can make it but cacs are blocking us. This is stupid man.

Guys...we're ~12% of the population.

Outside of sheer appeal to the dominant society...its gonna be HARD to just outright get people to fill those seats.

Because blacks don't promote a news culture, go to africa, on their airwaves education is promoted.

"can" doesn't mean inferiority complex? it means can it be done and not bragging about how you can do something but useless cacs are stopping you.

kanye west is going around making all kinds of crazy stuff, aint no cacs stopping him or blocking his shyt

Just ask the mods to delete this thread and start over.

Make the next on why blacks aren't funding our own projects. Or making our own studios.

You're in over your head with this "can" nonsense. And then you bring up Kanye as an example? Wasnt he crying cus the white folks wouldnt let him sit at the big table? LMFFAAAAOOOO

I don't believe it. This whole country make it seem as if blacks are almost the same population as cacs and other races are non existent apart from latinos.

you are missing the point...

kanye is making waves but they not working with him...

most of it...is, kanye is going to a new lane, i dont like the race card, but its there too...

but blacks need their own community, economy and infrastructure to movie foward...

the truth is blacks could do anything but do they care to do it...they probably dont...humans are all the same...

now if you go divvy up, well why cant blacks do this or do that...they can, but there has to be someone to fund/produce/market it...there has been talk about foreign markets for blacks films overseas...well someone should fix it...but blacks are so stuck trying to be part of whites, they dont build their economic base...

In an appearance on The Daily Show last night, George Lucas said that he had trouble getting funding for his new movie, "Red Tails," because of its black cast.

"This has been held up for release since 1942 since it was shot, I've been trying to get released ever since," Lucas quipped to Jon Stewart. "It's because it's an all-black movie. There's no major white roles in it at all...I showed it to all of them and they said no. We don't know how to market a movie like this."

"Red Tails," which stars Cuba Gooding, Jr., and Terrence Howard, is based on the Tuskegee Airmen, the group of pioneering black pilots who fought in the United States' segregated armed forces during World War II. The movie is directed by Anthony Hemingway, the rare black director getting a chance to direct a big-budget feature.

Last week, Lucas told USA Today that he was worried that if Red Tails was a failure, it could have negative repercussions for black filmmakers. "I realize that by accident I've now put the black film community at risk [with Red Tails, whose $58 million budget far exceeds typical all-black productions]," he said. "I'm saying, if this doesn't work, there's a good chance you'll stay where you are for quite a while. It'll be harder for you guys to break out of that [lower-budget] mold. But if I can break through with this movie, then hopefully there will be someone else out there saying let's make a prequel and sequel, and soon you have more Tyler Perrys out there."

Nikka you actually believe this? George Lucas is worth 2 billion plus dollars, if the nikka wanted to fund and distribute his movie, he could have done it. This whole statement was a marketing scheme to get black folk into the theaters. Like black folk need to support mediocre black movies, so more mediocre black movies can get made.

you can do whatever thats why i used him as an example. everything is a make money scheme in the black community. that should be your excuse.

stop talking about cacs to silence people

 

[???]

Can you imagine people on this froum saying black people can make high quality contenet but cacs are rejecting that stuff or throwing it into the buses.

I don't believe any of you, stop talking nonsense.

We don't promote intelligence except its some black power shyt, that should be your excuse.

USELESS CACS didn't stop tariq nasheed from making hidden colors and releasing to limited theaters and on DVD GTFOH with your garbage excuses.

I don't believe it so its not true

I don't believe it. This whole country make it seem as if blacks are almost the same population as cacs and other races are non existent apart from latinos.

I definitely believe it...because I'm inclined to believe a lot of ya'll ain't never left major cities before.

There definitely ARE NOT that many black people out here.

If you're black person with an advanced degree or even a masters, you DEFINITELY know how small the world is.

blacks are just outspoken minorities and they reside in population centers where they're more likely to be heard...but don't you FOR A SECOND think we're more than 10-12%.

Blacks aren't even reproducing like that.

 

[???]

I don't believe it so its not true

yeah, hating cacs stopped tariq nasheed from making hidden colors and being one of the top docus on amazon and Itunes, you people are all STUPID.

GTFOH with all that rubbish.

 

[theflyest]

disappointed someone would actually ask a question like this

a better question would have been would we get an opportunity to create these kinda shows
