When black people start owning Production and Film Companies then we will see change. If white people wanted to take all black people out of hiphop and the NBA they could EASILY! That's what happenes when you don't own shyt!

:comeon::stopitslime:

Ice Cube doesn't own a production company? Will Smith doesn't own a production company. OPRAH doesn't own a production company. John Singleton doesn't own a production company. Tyler Perry doesn't own a production AND film company? Black people already own production and film companies. fukk are you talking about? :what: Black people not supporting black movies from black production companies the way they support that bullshyt on VH1 is the real reason.

hollywood is so racist because it's a great tool to mold minds...

the ancient wizard's wand is made out of the stick of a holly tree (hollywood) - hence, that is where the "magic" happens.

and it's not just hollywood either, i would include hollywood as a solid piece of the media in general.

also, a lot of propaganda that goes unnoticed is -advertising and marketing-

obviously it is marketing to your mind.

I'm an advertising major and Ive noticed that while I ignore many ads not even I can abscond from a powerful psychological message. These firms all have an on call psychologist to tell them what colors, words, and images work best when selling a products. shyt is something else. I'm seeing some good posts so far. My initial thought of the title thread was to say we should boycott Hollywood, but who would really boycott it?

Tyler Perry is really the only one they truly supported and once the white producers caught wind they started putting their grubby little fingers in his shyt. Seriously when he put Maury in one of his films I :snoop:

The only movies white people want to see us in is pornos. PORNOS!!! Wake up people!

White people never want to go see black movies talmbout black empowerment and black social consciousness, but they eat up as much interracial porn and black on black porn as they possibly can. Shows you just what they think about you :scusthov:

I also highly doubt it's simply about money. There are more blacks than Asians and whites LOVE Asian films. Why don't they love black films? Wake up.

Nah youre wrong on this because Brazzers doesnt even have ONE new black scene and Bangbros has like 3 new black scenes in the past 2 months.

This is why the whole situation with Tyler Perry is kinda sad. No black person in Hollywood history has been able to achieve what Tyler Perry did as an outsider. He basically disrupted the traditional Hollywood model by building his fan base organically through grassroots shows and plays. Most people in Hollywood have to come up through the system to make it. Some people have done what Tyler Perry has, but they've all been white.

By the time he started making mid-budget movies in Hollywood, Tyler Perry already had a built in audience. He had complete creative control over his movies. Plus he owned everything when it came to his brand. Lionsgate was just the distributor. He could have been a force for good in Hollywood by leveling the playing field a little more in favor of blacks. Or at the very least helping to change the image of blacks in Hollywood. Some would argue that he has by casting so many black people in his movies and by creating movies that show black people in a different light.

I don't agree though. His movies and plays perpetuate a lot of black stereotypes and his characters are often one dimensional. When people think about Tyler Perry, they associate his movies with a drag queen and Christian dogma. It's frustrating. If Spike Lee, John Singleton, or Antoine Fuqua had had the level of success Tyler Perry has, I don't think they would've have used it to play on black stereotypes or create minstrel television shows for TBS.

It's simple, movies showing regular black folks dont sell, same as movies with asian people.

fukk Tyler Perry and all of his cronies.

Anti-c00n Movement in full effect :birdman:

To be fair, most black MAINSTREAM films/tv shows/music has c00ning.
From Chappelle's Show( even though I respect Dave) to Good Times, most of our entertainers in the limelight shuck and jive. W/ that said, support the positive works(Red Tails, Great Debators, etc).
