USA Today Calls The Best Man Holiday "Race-Themed" - we outraged?

[Silver Surfer]

It is race themed....

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

No, we shouldn't because we have real life issues to address. FDB!

It is race themed....

How?

 

[Silver Surfer]

How?

Its not a c00n movie....but its audience is blacks...also...some of the jokes are racially based in the movie


There is a scene where the ladies talk about their dependency on black pipe

Majority black cast + 1 token white male actor + 1 token white female actor = race themed

So are majority white movies with one token black guy racially themed as well? Or do white people get the privilege to not be judged on their race?

got frustrated until i read the full context. they're basically saying "look, these nikkas really do support their own projects. either we start making solid black films or they'll start making their own"

edit: actually im still frustrated

ok so I didnt know wtf the best holiday man was, its a black movie...NOW that article makes sense. They're mad that it nearly beat Thor, in fact when this article came out, its when it was in the runnings, they were trying to low key make it racial rally up folks to go see Thor.

What a bunch of fukking serpents.

As much happiness as The Best Man Holiday raking in $30.6 million this weekend brings (a figure that almost trumps Thor: The Dark World), the news is quickly soiled by the reality that once again, some (white) people find themselves shocked that movies with predominantly black casts can make tons of money.

There are many movies where there is only one black guy and nobody calls it race themed but this movie included only one white guy and you and biased whites call it race themed.
