CL TOPIC: GEORGE LUCAS TALKS DIFFICULTY GETTING HOLLYWOOD BACKING FOR ‘RED TAILS’ – WILL YOU SUPPORT THE FILM?

@Gossip Girl-The movie is about men and I think it should be supported even if there is no black female lead. If this movie does well it can open up doors for movies with black female leads. I think to not support it because there is no black female lead is not a good enough excuse IJS. I’m quite sure you’ve spent your money on movies where there was no black people in it at all. No disrespect but we have to start somewhere.

The movie is about the Tuskegee Airmen, not their wives or girlfriends.

If you actually researched the movie you would know there is a subplot in which one of the pilots fall in love with a white woman. They can show an interracial couple but not all the black women that supported black men during that era.

Could you be more ignorant in your comment. So what if there aren’t any female lead roles. It’s focusing on these young black men that made history, and it doesn’t lesson the importance of the women in their lives if the movie doesn’t have a leading black actress to be in that role. SMH…. How many movies have you seen that hollywood has put out when blacks were only extras, or portrayed in a negative way, or there were no black people at You and your comment are so SAD!!!

So ya’ll rather support movies that show black people in a inferior light like the help,the blindside,precious, etc but wouldn’t see a a movie that’s in a historically accurate setting,that shows us in a superior light? i kind of understand why some woman are upset cause there aren’t black woman in the in the movie,but so what,there’s black men in the movie and we need to support each other,if this movie does bad in the box office,there gonna use this movie as a excuse to why big budget movies with an all black cast don’t sell,i appreciate what george lucas did,but we can do it are self,shit we got enough money,if we can stop hating on each other,and stop spending are money on bullshit,and get on the same mindset,we can form are own distribution,but were to busy being consumers,and focusing on what other people are doing.

This movie takes place in Italy PEOPLE!!! The reason there is a “white” woman is because they are in Italy and she is Italian. Mr. George Lucas has been trying to get this movie made for 20 years and plans to do the prequel and the sequel especially if this movie succeeds at the box office. So believe me there will be several black women in those movies. Remember these stories are based on these Airman’s REAL lives. Support the movie because it is a story about black men who fought for a Country who considered them second class citizens but were heroic enough to push pass that and were known as the best pilots in WWII

BTW the first Rollins in this reply is FRESH87 comment. It was copied wrong!!! Sorry FRESH87…

There aren’t any black women in lead roles because women weren’t allowed in combat positions at that time. I have a good hunch that you wouldn’t complain about an all black female movie with no male leading roles though smh

whether we support this film or not doesn’t matter and won’t change anything. that’s the reality.

@NAT

Because doing nothing is going to certainly going to change things…That’s exactly what they want you do do. Bravo!

I’m tired of this racism from the black community. We can bitch and complain all we want about this and that, but as black people, if we act a fool, we dont get a pass card because of the color of our skin. No one owes us anything. If you won’t support a movie because it doesn’t meet your black quota, despite having a mostly black cast, YOU are the very reason we are not represented in the media. A black man and a white woman is no big deal. It’s as natural as any man and any woman. In the past, blacks were slaves, yes. But that’s because people thought we were less than human because of the color of our skin. We are living in times of near equality, but sad to say, we fall short not because of anyone else but ourselves. So, if you base your decisions on skin color, and are proud of it, you are the greatest biggot and racist of all.

WELL IF YOU HAD NOT BEEN SO IGNORANT AND WENT TO SEE THE MOVIE THEN YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THE MOVIE/STORY/THE MISSION IS OUT OF ITALY AND SHA’NIQUA DIDN’T LIVE IN ITALY, ISABELLA DID. YOU HAVE TO WALK B4 YOU CRAWL SO LET’S MAKE THIS MOVIE SUCCESSFUL SO GEORGE LUCAS CAN DO THOSE SEQUELS WHICH WILL HAVE BLACK ACTRESSES IN IT. NEGROS ARE NEVER SATISFIED. SMH!!!!…..JENNY JONES

But there aren’t any black actresses. The only female with a major role is, Daniela Ruah, who is white.

i couldn’t agree with you more. If we know better we must do better…..

Don’t feel bad Ty. Obviously, the mixed up Kimbellas and Jessicas weren’t even classy enough to play female love interest.

IT KILLS ME THAT SOME PEOPLE WON’T GO SEE THIS MOVIE B/C OF THE ONLY FEMALE IN IT IS ITALIAN EVENTHOUGH THE MOVIE’S STORYLINE IS BASED IN ITALY BUT THEY GO SUPPORT TYLER PERRY WHO HASN’T DISCOVERED OR MADE A NEW UNKNOWN ACTRESS OR ACTOR YET. ALL OF HIS FILMS HAVE THE SAME OLE BLACK ACTRESSES/ACTORS THAT WE ALREADY KNOW 7 HAVE SEEN A MILLION TIMES. YARN!!! HE SAVES MONEY BY SHOOTING OUT OF ATLANTA BUT HE HAS NEVER, EVER DID A CASTING FOR A PRINCIPAL ROLES HERE AND HE’S BEEN TOO CHEAP TO PAY UNION FEES FOR SECONDARY & EXTRA ROLES. WOW BUT FOLKS ARE MAD ABOUT A 99% ALL BLACK MOVIE OVER 1 ITALIAN WOMAN. LOL!!!! KEEP GRINDING TY TYLER ROSE …..JENNY JONES!!!!

Look at your screen name and you will have the answer as to why the black “woman” is not “good enough for black men” (your words, not mine). It’s due to the massive pen!s envy that most of you black females suffer from. You have totally disavowed your role as a woman (and most of your femininity in the process) and you expect the black man to follow your lead. Furthermore, just because a black man’s mother is black does not mean that that same rapport translates to you lol. You’re so damn simple. Stop being proud and maybe the Lord will send you a negro as simple as you and you can make some simple-a$$ children with him lol.

judah – u hate yourself. it’s so clear.

@NAT

You don’t even know how to respond to my commentary because you’re not on my level. The average black female has drank the kool-aid and believes that they are “making moves” in this society while the black man is stuck in a perpetual rut. The reality is that the female in general is a pawn, and history tells us that whenever a nation of people are conquered, the males are destroyed and the females are used for harlots. Black females believe that they are above reproach which is why, for the most part, they are no longer wife material. Period. The fact of the matter is that if the men of the other races wanted you as much as you all act like they do, you wouldn’t care who or what the black man is “dating”.

Judah, why are you so angry at black women? Please tell me what makes you so qualified to speak on the plight of black women. Not all black women are jealous of men and we have not lost our femininity. You seem to have a gripe with one particular woman and won’t to project this anger on all women . I hope you find some help. smh

@KENDRA

Miss, all of my statements pertaining to the black woman use the words “most” or “many”. If you are not one of the black females that fit into the demographics that I’m speaking about, you should not be offended. I have no idea how you define “femininity”, so I can’t have any conversations based on strawman arguments.

Judah I agree with you and i will admit that sometimes my behavior has not been positive towards many black men…some deserving and some not. Some of these men are caught in a struggle, but because they dont have ready made success, we look down on him. We need to humble ourselves and start acting like women. Some of us can smoke, drink and cuss a man under the table and think it’s sexy. It’s okay to want something good in your life, but sometimes you have to align yourself with the things you want (so when it comes you will recognize it and be ready for it). And why does it matter what the skin color is of the women they fell in love with??? I cant believe interracial dating and marriages is still an issue. Where was it ever written (except in an ingnorant white man’s mind) that different races couldnt blend and be successful and loving towards one another???

Who the actors are married to outside of this movie should not matter. Whoever (and whatever race these men decide to marry has nothing to do with us & it doesn’t necessarily means they hate the black woman) we have preferences and at the end of the day we should all respect each other decisions.
Im sure you don’t give ever black man a chance that is interested in you and if that is the case you really need to take a look in the mirror.

Thank you. I remembr the HBO movie about the TA. It was excellent. I think they used the wrong actors for this film. Being that Lucas used his cash he got the wrong actors except Cuban and Terrance. He should of used Pooch Hall, Chris Brown (maybe), T.I., Ray-J, 50 cent etc. Cats that people have actually seen and like to look at.

I saw it this weekend with my girlfriend and was upset over the only love interest being a white woman and yes I am fully aware of the times and them being in Italy, I was still slightly disappointed that it was even necessary to have that particular relationship. However that being said, I don’t consider it beyond reality to think that a black man found love overseas because there was a better tolerance in some instances with Black Men dating white women. Overall I wouldnt have minded it so much if the rest of the movie was better written and directed. I wanted to shoot Neyo and his country accent!!

Redo:
Money talk and this mess is going to change STAT because black women getting tired of this mess from all directions. Its not petty either, its adds to the stereotypes and asexual black maid actresses attitudes. That is going to change ready or not, these magazines too. Taraji wasnt even featured in the promo on her film and she called it out and they want to backlash against her, no, that could be me or my black female child put in the background and for me to spend my money is like a vote for this disregard treatment and I vote Hell No.

You made a valuable point. I am glad that ConcreteLoop posted the Daily Show interview. After watching it, I am persuaed to see the film. I do want my younger brother to see a film that he can see himself in. I guess I will take one for the team. George Lucas does seem sincere and I am sure it was pulling teeth to get this film out. 23 years is a long time! For it to be the 1st high budget film with a Black cast…I guess it is bound to have some faults and go through some things,smh.

@Caramelapple

You, or any other black women, are not going to change a damn thing lol. Your entire stance is deluded and ridiculous. The black woman allegedly is “asexual” in Hollywood? I’m confused about that assertion because the black female has always been portrayed in a hyper-sexualized image in Hollywood i.e. Monster’s Ball, so it’s clear that you’re either speaking in code or have trouble presenting your point properly. In reality, you want the black female to be portrayed just as the white female is portrayed, which is not only unrealistic, it’s outright stupid, but it is revelatory. You won’t acknowledge it, and possibly it’s in your subconscious mind, but you want to see a film where the black woman is a wife to a top white actor i.e. Pitt, Clooney, in a major motion picture. That must be it, because in every Denzel Washington movie I’ve seen, his wife was black. Even in most Will Smith movies, his wife was black. Denzel and Will Smith are MOVIE STARS, meaning they can open a movie on their own. There is NO BLACK FEMALE ACTRESS THAT CAN SELL A FILM OR TV SHOW. NOT ONE. No one wants to see the black female crying, burning clothes, and having a funky attitude for 120 minutes lol. The roles that are accrued for the black woman are based on her roles in slavery. You have the wh*re archteype role based on the bed wench that “beautiful” black women were during slavery i.e. Halle Berry, Megan Good, Zoe Saldana. You have the maid/assistant role to mimic the maid and lady of the house’s assistant during slavery (particularly for dark-skinned black females)i.e. Jennifer Hudson, Mo-Nique, etc., and you have the cracked out, single mother archetype to reflect the field hand black woman during slavery i.e. Viola Davis, etc. Certain actresses gravitate between the archetypes i.e. Taraji Hensen, but that is the general breakdown. That is how Hollywood views black people, and black females in particular. In categories. Like I’ve stated previously, the average black woman is NOT “pro-black”. She is “pro-black woman”. There is a large difference.

I completely agree Miss Cris! No movie is perfect but George Lucas is really taking a step in the right direction and we should support him.

Steven Spielburg’s The Color Purple didn’t do well at the box office and it set Black Hollywood back for several decades. Let’s show that we support our black actors and we want to see more of them!

@Judah, we have lots of our women who are entertainers in the public eye who don’t fit into the stereotypical roles. Naomi Campbell and Kelly Rowland are dark skinned and sexy. Queen Latifah and Jill Scott are full figured but they are also glamorous and sexy. I think we’ll start to have roles like them, too.

If we keep acting together, things will continue to get better.

Lola Re

@Judas, quit smoking meth, you act like black men just came out of no where and became leads in a movie. After being the comedic side kick, or driving the miss daisies around or dressing up like women or being former criminals that help the white cop for decades, they finally arrived without the help of a white man along side them. The same for black women, movies that exclude or disregard black women is taking a step backward and not forward and that’s BS. You act like everything white women touch turn to gold their movies bomb…Gigli, Glitter, several Jennifer Aniston movies, etc so quit acting like black women cant successfully lead a movie. If that is the case, then what is the need of expecting “black female cant lead a movie” money to be spent on this movie or any movie that will exclude or disregard a black female. Expecting that is whats ridiculous and ignorant.

@ Judas….exactly my point….they are using black women for their money but black women not good enough to be in a prominent role nor is she good enough to marry but they target black women playing the black card and appeal to their emotions to get their money to make themselves rich all along looking down the nose behind closed doors. Slumming for dollars, dont like you but give me your money and I might let your have a 2 liner speaking part the next movie because we all know nobody wants to see you in a lead part and you cant star in a movie anyway, but give me money anyway.

@LOLA RE

Are you really that obtuse, or are you joking lol? There is nothing “sexy” about Naomi Campbell (used up cokehead wh*re) or Kelly Rowland (closeted l*sbian). Both of them are MK sex kittens. That will go way over your head. Queen Latifah “set back black women” 150 years with her super-coon role in “Bringing Down The House”, not to mention her role as the super-dyke in “Set It Off”. Those were her two seminal roles that allowed her to get other jobs in Hollywood. Once they see that you’ll “play the game”, they will give you more jobs within your archetype. Jill Scott is another quasi-conscious black female who views herself as some Egyptian goddess mother i.e. Erykah Badu. Those type of females use black males as sperm donors with the full intent of raising the children on their own.

@CARAMELAPPLE

Miss, where did I state anything regarding black male roles in Hollywood being good and upright? The fact of the matter is that black males have shown that they can open a film. Black females have not. This is fact, not opinion. I myself could care less. I do not look for Hollywood to define me because any historical picture that caucasians make regarding blacks will be for propaganda and full of revisionist history. You clearly do care how Hollywood depicts you, because you (like most black females) inwardly wish you were caucasian. I know this for a fact because nowhere did I mention anything about white women turning anything to gold. Most of you black women judge yourselves in juxtaposition to the white woman, and justify your conduct based on what white women do. Many of you black females have a humongous inferiority complex because you don’t know where you are or why you’re here. It is the white man’s job to extol himself and his woman while he is in power, and he does so in the cinemas. It is not his job to extol you. You are here, in this captivity, to play the part of a second class citizen, to be his bed wench, and to be an assistant to his woman. That is what he thinks of you. Bottom line. This film wasn’t made for “black women to spend their money” lol. That’s why they have Tyler Perry. When you spend your money on his films, it still goes to the white man. “Red Tails” was made to encourage black males to join the military and to indoctrinate black people in general into a more patriotic mentality. Do you understand that everything does not revolve around you and your feeble lusts miss? Any film made about WWII will not have American female characters, for the most part, because THE WAR WAS FOUGHT IN EUROPE smdh.

@ Judah

Not tue. Black women have shown that they too can open films to box office numbers. Just look at films like “Set It Off”, “How Stella Got Her Groove Back”, “Sister Act”, (both 1&2) “Gothika”, “Colombiana”, “Obsessed” etc., I could go on and on….Kerry Washington, Halle Berry, Zoe Saldana have all played the loved interest, or desired woman in yt films….so spare me w/ that bullshyt

@ANTOINE

I mentioned all those movies already Antoine. They all fit into pre-conceived demographics for mind-controlling black females and have nothing to do with the conversation. I’m sure you could go on and on. Most idiots can (Prov 9:13). I better make sure I tell everyone to hide they kids, hide they wives, and hide they husbands because your dumb a$$ is rapin’ peoples’ thoughts lol….

@JUdas again:

Boy sit down with that so called philosophical BS mess you talking. Trying to act like you know. Point is you acting like black men been opening up movies when they had bit parts and stereotypical roles and just recently began to turn around and with the support of many black women, but to turn around and then act like black women beneath you to marry and act along side is BS after we supported you.As far as teh whoe women comment about gold, you making it sound like white women all this in movies and can open movies etc its only because white media is not allowing black women to shine and its gives the illusion that white is better. Its called cheating, only showing yourself and dismissing others to appear better, white have done it forever and brainwashed folk by doing so. Dot know what black women you talking about want to be white that bs. I am sure one of those black male actors could have stood up like Eric Lasalle and made a comment to request for more emphasis for a black female in the movie but I am sure they didnt. Nevermind what color the woman Lucas is screwing, when he wifes her and birth some black aires to his fame and fortune, then I am impressed. I will only support movies like Columbiana and other movies that positively show women of color in prominent non stereotypical roles, not bit parts or no parts just because the cast is black, but what do they really think about black women is what I am getting at and it manifest in their choices in mate selection and casting. So get your money from someone else. The same goes for black females that showcase the negative, like NEne and Tami Roman not supporting them either. Anyone, being black alone will not get my support. Cant get suckered in by one angle of teh equation.

Don’t get me wrong Columbiana was a good movie but it was based of assassination, nothing I was able to take my daughter to see. At the end of the day Red Tails could have focus on the wives & girlfriends that were left behind; however, the reality is they were in Italy and I found peace in knowing in a time where blacks were degraded a women of any color fell in love with black man. At the end of the day it was a movie that I was proud to take my daughter to see! Something that was overlooked as well is that a few of these men were colleged educated, the father of the pilot was a judge, another pilot believe in Jesus and spread the word to others, the support this black men had for each other although they always didn’t see eye to eye was deplicted!
At the end of the day the movie should be supported and it’s a movie that should be shared with our youth so they can have something to be proud of.

YES YES YES YES YEEEESSSSSS!!! And it DOES have a BLACK FEMALE LEAD. But black folks are too damn hateful and homophobic to support such a film. honestly, i wouldn’t NOT support the film because there are no black female leads or supporting roles….i mean, look at all the men except for 1 that was a dog in Colored Girls…no positive black males in Color Purple…one good dude in Waiting to Exhale. I’m not gonna see the film because I don’t dig period pieces about war. It doesn’t help that two of the lead characters are cracker loving kneegrows….but that’s not the primary reason. I’m just not interested…*kanye shrug*

ps…maybe even more than the fact that the two leads love snow bunnies is the fact that Method Man and Ne-yo are in a movie about something important. and I just can’t take them seriously. Ne-yo moreso than Meth.

Nat your the most self hating black person i’ve come across… in the same breathe you raise up black people then tear them and yourself down again! Are you even black? If the film has an all black cast director etc… then clearly “black folks are NOT too damn hateful and homophobic to support such a film” because it was made *trick*

You complain about so called cracker loving kneegrows, then write *kanya shrug* all i have to say to that is amber rose, white women, But you still love a Kanye quote don’t you…. *trick*. Black women can be so selectively ignorant some times makes my blood boil! The blame for the way your portrayed in hollywood is partially your own too…

If any of these guys were broke it wouldnt matter to you at all who they dated… what annoys you black women is that sucessful black men are dating white women… to quote Kanye *GOLD DIGGER* Lets face facts a black man aint good enough for you until he’s rich. Which leads on to my next point… If all these successful black men are chosing to date none black women maybe you should take a look in the mirror (metaphorically: For the ignorant that means not literally looking in the mirror) and start to ask yourselves why this is happening. I think it has a lot to do with your attitudes and misguided notion that a strong black women has to give a black man hell and have a bad attitude and that if a man is a “real black man” he will just sit there and accept it and thank you for the privilege of doing so. You’re screaming out for support as a black women but won’t support black men…. it works both ways *tricks* once again you’re demonstarting selective ignorance!

By not support the film because it lacks black women while having a blatantly obvious disregard to the fact that if you don’t support this film opportunities for movies with all black casts in hollywood will be lost forever as they’ve assume we dont support eachother. If you really want to stick it to hollywood how about you write something to them instead of sitting here slandering the very race you claim to represent and being laughed at by the white people who do read this blog. Have you watched the trailers for the movie…? Do you even get what the film is about? its supposed to impower us as black people but instead of embracing that you have to find flaws and reasons to hate it. I’m willing to bet my life on the face you’ved watch films with all white casts and not been so vocal about it, that saddens me more then anything

Also before i go, the racism really needs to stop! If white people where sat here talking about black people the way you were you’d hate it al call them all the names under the sun… But you’re no different to them.

What any movie that supports black people if you want to see more black people in the movies… its simple

@NAT

If one knew history, you would know that during WWI and WWII, black males that went to fight in Europe would often stay there after the war and would marry white women because (DING DING DING anybody home????) European women tend to be caucasian, and the black man was treated as a hero in Europe. Admittedly, I don’t know the parameters of how the alleged “white women” met the “male leads” in this film, but I doubt if the relationship is with American white females. During the Korean and Vietnam wars, the black man dealt with (DING DING DING) Korean and Vietnamese women. Right now, the black man is probably dealing with an Iraqi or Afghani woman because that’s what’s out there smdh & lol. Maybe the reason that there are no black female leads in this movie is because (DING DING DING) BLACK WOMEN WERE NOT FLYING PLANES IN EUROPE trying to be men. They had their behinds at home maintaining the children like they’re supposed to. Some of you black women are so damn simple lmao.

Do George Lucas put black actresses in seductive, alluring, main character roles in his movies? Let me know

George Lucas dates a BLACK WOMAN though!
Who cares about who they r dating? It is about the HISTORY!
Black people are their biggest enemies and will never be united b/c of jealousy!

Lmao…aren’t you the same imbecilic black woman that catches yourself trying to cite scriptures? I thought that you “Christian black women” did not believe in racism???? As any astute person already knows, the black woman does not believe in racism until it involves something that she believes she owns, that being the black male….and they only see racism when it suits them. Then to reveal your true wh*re programming, you state that you wil only support films in which black “women” are “seductive, alluring, love interests” i.e. WH*RES lmao. Many of you black women are clearly totally bugged out of your minds. It’s not totally your fault. You embraced the white woman’s feminism and now you have nothing, not even your damn sanity.

Come better…go back to what context a scripture was quoted as I can recall a scripture or two coming from your post and you talking about black women being whores and other mumbling mess you talking. Dont care what you or anyone thinks, irrelevant. Portraying a black woman in a desireable seductive vulnerable role as opposed to a crackhead or a angry struggling role, etc is not making her out to be a whore no more than portraying a black man in a “leading man gets the girl” role as opposed to former criminal comedian side kick. Your mantra is anti black female anyway so you are brainwashed and ignorant, so spew your homemade Judas I mean Judah philosophy, but Judas is more fitting. Wont be intentionally lining anymore pockets with my black female money to turn around and diss me with my own money. Black women tithe into such movie and they will get their returns of the black female exclusion or minute roles, even along side black men when non black women dont.

CaramelApple, I totally agree with what you wrote and I’m glad you’re not allowing anyone to change your perception. I’m still perplexed by this Judah character (no need to bother ridiculing Judah. As noted, I, too, notice that you have great disdain for Black women). I would love to believe that, with SOME of the knowledge you have, you would want to use it to try to uplift those within your ethnic group, but I guess not. What is it that you are trying to impart when you say some of these things about Black women? And, are Black men so perfect that you have no advice for your brothers? I love my people in general and we’ve all got work to do within our community. Peace and blessings

@Zgirl, no matter what you say, black women do overall have nasty attitudes, that is not a lie. And I will continue to slam black women for the things they do from a black female perspective regardless if its not popular. On the other hand, that doesnt mean I dont have a right to call out the disregard of the small percentage of black women that dont act like the stereotype. All sterotypes are not false, such that of the predominate attitude of black women is nasty and world renown. You not liking that is irrelevant and I will continue to ride that bandwagon as long as I see it. Dont want me saying it, I need to stop seeing it. Tell that black clerk to smile and stop popping that gum and running from behind that counter to help white women and tell black women to running other black women out of the arms of a black man like black women did Tomeka Foster, stop running off other black female supervisors on the job and grining and cheesing and yes sa maam when the white lady take change, etc. When I stop seeing it I will stop bashing until them bash bash will continue and I will continue to criticize disregard and negative images of black women in film, etc

Why does it concern you whether some of these actors date white women or not? Are you trying to date these men? What about the rest of the actors in the fim that are dating or married to black women. You are going to dismiss this movie because of 2 members of the ensemble cast. You know how stupid that sounds? I’m sorry if your man left you for a white woman but you really need to get over that. It’s ironic that you say you’re tired of black women stereotypes because you embody the angry insecure black woman steretype.

Seeing positive, classy, soft black women in film and print will hopefully subliminally retrain some of these stereotypical black women that ruin it for us all. So the criticism will continue, dont like it change it, not sweeping it under the rug. Yall just want only good things said when you not acting all good. Its the trifling ways that create a reputation for everybody to deal with. So I will continue to bash the majority of black women that act that way until the new majority turns around and consist of the ones that dont. So if a ghetto witch see a black woman acting classy in film maybe she will want to be like that after she see the positive response she gets because its obvious many have poor example of class in their immediate ghetto enviroments.

@ Rich, I will spend my money where I please and I please to not spend it on this film, I stand corrected now I see that its more than 2 actors in the film that are married to non black women so not going to see it even more for that. Point is, stop starring in black films slumming for black female money to get rich off of, just let the non black women make you rich if its like that. Boo, you dont know my man, where your woman? And there goes your double standard, having an opinion on both sides of the issue becomes an angry insecure stereotype black female, then the same could be said about you being an angry black man for having an opposing opinion.

George has a beautiful black women he wakes up to every morning!!!!! So yall better stop!!!

I’m not angry because i’m not ranting like you are lol. It doesnt take a psychologist to see you are a insecure woman who has been slighted by black men in the past. What you fail to understand though is if this movie fails it’s not going to be for a lack of black women, it’s going to be for lack of white cast members. If this movie fails it’s going to send the message that black films aren’t viable and this is going to be bad for black actors and actresses alike.

@ Rich, oh that’s right anytime a black woman dare to have an opinion goodness forbid 2 opinions she needs a psychologist or been wounded by black men and insecure, angry bitter but what is it called when a white woman like Rosie O have an opinion? Its called okay. What black men you talking wounded me? U dnt knw what you speaking on….I got a man, do you my DL brotha. If I am an insecure angry black woman for having 2 opinions about a matter, then you are an angry black man in need of a therapist that has obviously been wounded by black women that rejected your nappy head in the projects and beat by his black momma and abandoned by his black daddy and been shot or in jail and speaking from trauma and drama of a black ghetto life..whatever dude. The film will hopefully bomb. There have been black movies with all black cast that have done well at the box office have you not been paying attention to Tyler Perry. But this movie will not bomb bc its excludes whites but because of varying reasons stated on this blog, namely the exclusion of black females. Go find your daddy Rich, he in jail somewhere or homeless or no good, barely working, if he claim you that is.

The white man thanks your ignorance.

@Tammy, and who r u, you should know about ignorance u probably the type I am speaking on. Explain yourself better, details. Your name calling without explanation is ignorant and irrelevant.

@ Tammy look in the mirror, explain yourself behind the name calling. Bill Cosby can talk about black ratchedness and then on the other hand defend blacks and that’s okay. Guess what, I will continue to do the same. Black women are not innocent and sweet little dears being talked about for no reason…Most earned that stereotype with hard earned attitude sweat and tears. And the poor First Lady have to deal with being plagued with that mess thanks to other black women that earned that reputation. She cant even tell the staff to clean up without being told she has an attitude thanks to most black women and their nastiness. Explain your ignorant self Tammy boo.

@RICH

Yes, she’s under the misconception that a black female can open a motion picture lmao. There are only three demographics that can open a major motion picture: that being the white man, the black man, and the white woman. There is NO STATISTICAL, FINANCIAL history of black females opening a major motion picture. They tried with Halle Berry i.e. Catwoman, and the film BOMBED. White males view black females as obnoxious sex objects, white women view them as loud-mouthed annoyances, and the black female has alienated her own man, so she has ostracized herself but expects to be depicted positively.

@CARAMELAPPLE

You don’t have no damn man, unless “man” is code for your fingers lmaoooo. You might possibly have a MALE (most probably the director of the “chuch” choir lol), but spewing the nonsense you spew, you could not possibly maintain a relationship with a MAN past the first sexual encounter.

@ Judas, talking about yourself boo, on the DL obviously there is no way you of all people can maintain a relationship spewing your mess. My fingers…you need to feed those hamsters you have in that jar beside your bed before they die before you get to use them.

Judah is White lol…he says “you black women: in every comment. lol He couldn’t be black bc that means he refers to his mother as “you Black mothers” lmao COVER BLOWN!

@MEDIA FED

N!gga please lmao. Like I told another idiot on this board, you having a v@gin@ does not make you equivalent to someone’s mother. Furthermore, I use the terms “many” and “most” when speaking in reference to the black woman. The truth is stinging though, so I understand your frustration.

@CARAMELAPPLE

Does the B!ble tell us that a woman should be “alluring” or “seductive”?? What scr!pture is that? Hamsters? I’m not going to ask lmao. No MAN would tolerate your delusional self-obsessions lol. A MALE would because MALES do not know any better.

@ Judas again:

@CARAMELAPPLE

You keep bringing up the bible. You know what I mean by hamsters you DL no life baz. Dont forget your spool of string, dont want them to get lost in there you no woman having perverted baz. You are a delusional freak.

Girl you need to get a life… coming back to a post to respond from since saturday???

No, you’re on the right track (for a change), because if anyone truly believes that George Lucas is concerned with the plight of the young black male and the dearth of cinematic portrayals of black history, they need their head examined. George Lucas is one of the top two or three SHOT-CALLERS in Hollywood. It wouldn’t take him 23 years to make 23 movies, much less one film about some negroes. He greenlights his own projects and can distribute them himself. Who the hell has the clout to tell him “no”? The point of him making the film is to encourage more young black men to “mimic” the “Tuskegee Airmen” and fight in the white man’s army in this current WWIII. It is a total propaganda piece. Meanwhile, certain black females are heated because he didn’t put a black woman in the damn movie lol. The only role he has for the black woman is as a bed wench. Sorry.

LOL@ “for a change” If only you knew Judah… I can’t go around spinning myself into butter..Especially on the internet. lol

Yes,these people really think this movie will CHANGE their community. LMAO! I agree with you,,, two places (IM that are not for a black man, politics, and the military.

(IMO)

Right on Kathy! My sentiments exactly. This divisive attitude that some of our people have has got to stop. I am not saying support a crappy movie because it is a Black film, but this is obviously a film that can do something good for our community.

As I said before,Ima tell ya what God loves and that’s the truth and you just told it! Amen.

You said it best…. I love your comment!!!

I agree with you. I just saw the movie today and I think we should support the movie. I will also buy it when it comes out on dvd. I also think that it is a good movie for our teenage men to see so they can see where they’ve come from. The Tuskegee Airmen cut a path for Blacks in the military today and we should support that well deserved recognition.

GREAT POINTS!!!

I didnt see the Help or Blindside and wont buy the DVD nor do I purchase and listen to the filthy mouth baby making gremlin Little Wayne. Black women need to do more with their money than buy weave and pocketbooks and support those that dont support them especially when it comes to other black men.

Kathy…take a seat and wake up! Most of them had Black wives and Sisters and Aunts backing them so Why is the only supporting lady the White wife(if you can’t see that’s deliberate as it always is then WOW & SMH)?? They couldn’t fit one more wife in the film??(a Blk one) to at least attempt a balance. Raise your standard and stop being a media fed Blk person. Yes I’d rather not see it at all bc it’s a huuuge deal and distorted history to not show that respect to all the Black woman who were the backbones. I’ll make a movie about you growing up and not cast your mother or I’ll make a movie w/ a all Chinese cast and show a white wife as the only leading lady and say “she(they) dont not need to be portrayed”..I’m sure thet didn’t play a huge role in they’re lives bc they we’re away from home! Seems hella deliberate, disrespectful and very distorted. TALK ABT IGNORANCE & VERY LOW STANDARDS!

Not just Lucas, all prominent people know that black people are the easiest people to manipulate because due to the fact that the black community is led by the black female, everything revolves around emotion and not knowledge. Look at what Obama did in singing some damn Al Green. He had those black people ready to march on Washington again.

I am not one of the emotional black women you speak of… That’s why I don’t go to church. lol I know we are the easiest to manipulate.. If you want to rob a nigger, just tell him he ain’t got the latest and he will show it to you… If you want to sell something to a nigger, just put two extra zeros behind the comma.

Stay in your lane Joseph.please, before you start trying to attack someone… You are probably some young ass kid,typing on his dumb phone. Where did I say I find historical movies boring?? Please tell me…I said I don’t like ACTION FILMS! You and the majority of people like you don’t focus on the style of the directors… I DO!! Inglourious Basterds is a “historical” film, I never read a Jew telling people to support this film…smh.

I LOVE Tuskegee Airmen.. A better cast and better plot. Where did I say not to support this film?? I can’t tell anyone but MY CHILD what to do. Buying the DVD is support, but you are probably use to buying bootleg movies, that’s the first thing that came to your small mind. Did I say I will not support this film because no black women are in it or,because the men in it perfer white women? You see what you what to see.. And I doubt pretty much you know anything about drama, so keep your nigger attitude on lock. I informed the ladies that are upset that George’s lady is black..I’m an Indie person and I support SEVERAL Indie and foreign films directed and starring black people. I don’t want to call it “support”.. I enjoy the craft.. A nigger is always on life “support” And you probably bash Tyler Perry instead of bigging him up,for making shyt happen W/O Hollywood’s help.. Creating jobs for BLACK actors,who can’t find work in HOLLYWOOD. Your vision is limited and you are a sheep,thinking you are talking about something when nigger please…

You attacking me, is the reason shit is fucked up, not because someone doesn’t go WATCH a damn movie. Grow up and get a clue.

Ok, Joseph, I’m about to look like a dummy…because I’m arguing with one. Jealous?? LMAO!! you sound smart. And oh, I’m 30 something wth are you putting me in the same sentence with a Gossip Girl. I mention his girl friend has long money, so the idea of black gold digger isn’t brought up.. She’s established!! Where did I tell anyone not to support anything?? We are not speaking the same language nor are we on the same level.. Now come back with something else you delusional lost soul.

Oh, Joe, remember to stand up and stretch every 10 minutes… I know it hurts being in the fetal position for so long.

The point is you are not understanding that it’s a bigger deal for people, like me, who are independent film and tv show makers. When we don’t go see films with black people in the cast, it effects those of us who produce content featuring black people. I understand how you feel as film goer, but it’s great that George is bringing awareness to
black people about how the only reason why we don’t have more content featuring us is because of us. When someone tries to tell an epic story featuring black people, guess what, it won’t get bought, because the studio will say “look at Red Tails, it didn’t do the numbers expected”. You give Hollywood studios the power to do that.I wasn’t trying to build an argument with you, but it took me there how you was acting like it was just a joke.

I’m conscious with a sense of humor… I also have panoramic vision. And that’s not the reason Hollywood wouldn’t back it. Everything is to make money.. They would spend money on a street movie before they will spend it on let’s say, a romance, Because they know blacks love to kill each other before they will hug on another We suffer from the oatmeal syndrome and can not digest anything good. They don’t want to give us any real hope, unless it’s the great white hope…The also will not support anything that will bring positive change,unless a white man is paid the most at the end of the day… This is the reason I big up Tyler Perry. He has done something blacks in Hollywood have not been able to do. This is why I made it a point to state I support Indie films… They are not corrupt (yet), and they actually need support. So what if Lucus put out 1 mil dollars of his own money, there are millions more where that comes from.. And by saying Hollywood wouldn’t back a “black film” he knows this will have more black people in the theatres today, than at work? How many times have we heard this? But we have heard it from Bill Duke,Robert Townsend,Ozzie Davis,Tyler Perry and many more black directors… But as soon as a white man says it,it turns a normal Friday, into “black Friday” I’m not racist, I’m just aware. And why are you waiting for Hollywood? Hollywood is the same club that said you weren’t good enough to be on their silver screen,but hey…Is it all about making money, or your passion? Because if it’s all about making money, you will fall victim of the game and become a puppet, but if it’s your passion, you will be ok.. Why base your career off of one movie? Again, you put your future in a white man’s hands…Good luck with what ever you do, I pray making movies is your passion…Because if it’s sucks, I don’t care what color you are, I will not “support” your next project

@INDIGO

George Lucas is a very intelligent self-promoter….”It took 23 years to get this movie made” as if he’s going to bring out some aspects of “secretly hidden” black history, or as if this film was some “labor of love” lol. Lucas is a billionaire, so for him to spend 1 million dollars is the equivalent of someone with $100 spending a penny. Again, he has his own production company and his own special effects company, so he basically is investing in himself. He is one of the 2 or 3 guys in Hollywood that can call his own shots. No studio can turn him down, so his story is bullsh*t. Most of the movies he’s made were ideas that he stole and re-adapted, and he needs others to put his vision on screen because he is a poor director. There are many other REAL BLACK HISTORY topics that could be broached that he could’ve used as subject matter for a movie but he never would because they cannot be used for propaganda purposes.

That’s what I’m saying… He found a brilliant way to promote this film; He use reverse psychology. Blacks are not supporting blacks,they are supporting George… In street terms, George done FLIPPED the script! lol

They are not backing the cast sweety, they are backing the Lucus name. Because they know people who don’t know will automatically come out because it’s his name…and they will make double what they invested.. George tactics is working because he doesn’t what his science project to fail. Do you really think Hollywood tell the “TRUE” story about anything?? If that’s the case,people will no longer go to the movies. This is HIStory..How can a white man tell us how it feels to be a black man…? That right there changes the “truth”. I’m not attacking you, i’m just giving it to you from another angle.

No, encouragement will change our communities. Giving our young people images that will help them inspire. That will change the community. Moving the things out of the community will only send people into another community looking for it. change the mindset first. That helps.

Joe, these images are out there but the ones who REALLY want to be inspired in a positive way, will find them.. You see you said it, “Moving the things out of the community will only send people into another community looking for it” And if they can search state after state looking for a grape blunt wrap, than they can do the same about finding positive inspiration.. My mindset is fine, yours is limited. I live in NYC.. And I pay attention to what’s sold in each neighborhood stores… You don’t think eating fresh food will change our communities? They don’t sale ST IVEs on Park Ave, or any blunts… The first thing on their counter is a healthy snacks… If you want to know what type of neighborhood you are in, just go into any local store.. I feel bad for you because you don’t stand for anything.. Hopefully when you get older you will see, and I hope by then it’s not too late… Everything starts at home… I encourage my son to keep the front of our home clean..So that the value of our home will not go down because of a dirty ran down block. I encourage the kids not to stand out in front of the corner store,but to go to the library..That’s true encouragement. I’m still sitting here like WTF… with your comment “Moving the things out of the community will only send people into another community looking for it” WOW… Spoking like a true sellout.

ST Ides? I don’t know how to spell it! hell Midnight Dragon, Old English… Malt liquor period!

First off if you think some fresh fruits and veggies are going to change our communities you are ignorant to the problems of the black community lol. Secondly fruits and veggies aren’t accessible because they aren’t very affordable. The reason why this country is so obese because junk food is cheaper than produce.

I wholeheartedly agree. Enough of the films that depict Black people as sub-humans who need help or redeeming from White people. Ok, there isn’t a Black female lead in this version; but at least, it shows a people determined to elevate themselves given the circumstances. If we as a community cannot unite on the simple act of buying a movie ticket……..

Thank you!

Boo Hoo, dont go treating black women like second class citizens and you will get your support…Trust me, if white women were treated like that in film and white men dissed them, they would be the same way, it just appears they are all goody two shoes because they are the center of attention but let that reverse and see what kind of reactions will rise up out of them, trying to act like black women any less human, ridiculous hypocritical mess. Its easy to be grinnin and cheesin when you on top. You see how they started cutting up when all those black models started winning on America’s Next Top Model, nevermind they on countless magazines, so as long as they on top and being worshipped feeding their ego its all gravy.

@ Rollins your disillusion! So what if it was in Italy..most of them had Black wives and Sisters and Aunts backing them so cut the BS. Why is the only supporting lady the White wife(if you can’t see that’s deliberate as it always is then WOW & SMH)?? They couldn’t fit one more wife in the film??(a Blk one) to at least attempt a balance. Raise your standard and stop being a media fed Blk person(if ur Blk)…If your white mind your business and don’t ever try to speak on behalf of us!! Yes I’d rather not see it at all bc it’s a huuuge deal and distorted history to not show that respect to all the Black woman who were the backbones. I’ll make a movie about you growing up and not cast your mother. Wake up fool! Make a movie w/ a all White Jew cast and show a Blk Jew wife as the only leading lady and say it was filmes in Afrika so…*in dumbest voice* all the white Jew women(wives, mothers etc) does not need to be portrayed..I’m sure thet didn’t play a huge role in they’re lives bc they we’re away from home! SIMPLE MINDED GENERATION!

@MEDIA FED

Your entire comment could be summed up in your statement that black women “were the backbone” lmao. N!gga please. Are you even literate? “Say it was filmes in Afrika”?? Huh? Besides your illteracy, your analogy was totally idiotic. Miss, were black American females in Europe during WWII? You’re trying to act “pro-black”, but you are simply a pro-black woman, which makes you a historical revisionist just like your god, the white man. The number one problem that black males have in this captivity is the stupidity of most of these black women. They are literally stunting the mental and spiritual growth of the black male with their nonsense and chronic reinforcement of white idealism. It’s honestly beyond stupid.

@ MediafEd, exactly. Folk running to see it falling for the we got black folk in it, come see it. When black women are no longer tokens and stereotypes in movies I will pay my money to see it, dont care about how many black faces in it. White women and other non blacks women will not patronize a movie if they were treated the same way.

& U need to truely read the history of war and the gov’s only purpose being to make money off dead soldiers. There is a Mil dollar Will(contract) on every soldier. It won’t be so great if they ship your ass to war and what happens when you die….oh they get a mil. That’s sounds like great history to me. GO READ!! and stop commenting until you do! Great history..lol Great racismn and destruction. This aint a video game, wars are real!

Go cry a river, you sound like a BBM( BITTER BLACK MAN)…as if the worse thing that happened to a black woman wasnt a black man. STFU and call Lois Farrakhan since yall so trifling he had to call you to Washington to try to tell you how to be a man and a white judge had to tell half of you you will take care of your kids, you can step on another black man show w/out getting shot, go visit your uncle, cousins, and daddys in jail since yall overfilling them, running out of cages for most of you, if it was up to most yall black daddys you would be in the bottom of a trash can or suction bottle in an abortion clinic if your black momma didnt have you anyway, so STFU!

Whoa Caramel preach girl!!!

@CHRIS DISS

I agree to a degree. These simpletons have their own personal director and they’re still complaining. The black woman is not spiritual at all, so all she can teach her sons is how to follow white people. This is why “CaramelApple” is so emotional about how black “women” are portrayed by massa. She wants to be massa. I agree that for the most part, black women are a detriment to black men, but that is because the black man must return to his MAN-hood. The woman will always be a source of confusion and nonsense, but a MAN will shut her and her bullsh*t down. A MALE will follow her to destruction. This is why Christ said “Remember Lot’s wife” (Luke 17:32). The woman loves wickedness and confusion. That is why Lot’s wife turned around, and that is why Satan went ot her in the Garden, that is why the white man works through her now. As a man, we should not mimic their behavior. We have to guide them. Not the other way around.

@CARAMELAPPLE

How can the worst thing that happened to a black female be the black male, when if it wasn’t for the black male, you would not be here lmao (I Cor 11:8)? Contrary to popular reports, the female comes from the male, not the other way around. Most of the incarcerated, degenerate black men are in that condition due to the false knowledge taught to him by the white male and the black female through the “educational” and Christian church systems. A “white judge” cannot tell a black male to “take care of his kids”. He can make a black male give money to a black female. Lastly, the black woman has the HIGHEST RATE of abortion, so what the hell are you talking about lol?

@Judas, quite taking my stuff I put on this blog. I already said that black men that criticize black women as an excuse to date interracially to appear as victims are full of crap because it goes beyond black women. They complain about black hair and act like they good to eat cornbread and don want their birracial kids playing with black kids and complain about black hair and features..and I said that they are hypocrites because if anyone is responsible for black hair, features, skin color it is the black man because God made the man first and made woman from man…so dont try to steal my stuff.

Secondly,
my point exactly if black women have high rate of abortions, who paying for it and pushing for it, the sorry black daddies. But there are plenty of black women that have their babies anyway and these black men turn around and diss black women to mingle and marry non black but if its up to their daddies they would be here to marry nobody. Black men wasnt giving a dime for their kids until the white judges shut that down and made most of them take care of meaning pay for boy, so forget that word play mess you trying.

@CARAMELAPPLE

I got you here losing what little mind you have lmao. What the hell are you talkin’ about…some damn “cornbread”??? Your country a$$ need to stay on topic lol. “Steal your stuff” lmao??? Miss, I’m citing THE B!BLE….something that you know nothing about, because if you did, you would not look for “seductive” images of females. I’ve been on this website pulling scr!ptures for damn near 6 years lol. Yes there are black males that talk about “good hair” and skin tone, and they usually get that nonsense from their mothers. The easiest way for the black male to avoid courtroom issues is to stop impregnating females until they accept that they are the weaker vessel. Black males do not understand their power, nor who they are.

AJUDAS AGAIN:

STealing my stuff, yes you did, been saying that scripture all all that. Cornbread u dumb azz, black men that date non blacks act like they too good for so called black traditional food that fed their nappy heads growing up and all of a sudden they eating cream cheese and cucumber sandwiches like tehy all that, read the rest boy. What you talking good hair and skin, how they get that from their mothers. The fact that you been on this site for 6 years is pathetic. Please leave hamsters alone and get a life. 6 years, dumb azz!

…now I realize why it took him so long to get it going. Lucas walks into the yt executive office with the script. The excuetive reads the script lead man black, love interest white woman, and become a hero. The yt execs must have laughed his arse out the office.

I hope it bombs to send a message loud and clear.

$19,000,000…#2…bwahahahahaha…America has spoken. They rather watch Kate Beckinsale fight vampires than watch George Lucas tell half of the truth.

Changing slowly to what?

I hope your young! If you think this movie will break down barriers your brainwashed deeply and naive. Negros need to read books if they want history or motivation, you can’t possibly look at this movie and think this would break down barriers. You think this movie is doing something new Son?? How is it a dumb excuse to not support the film?? I’m going to make a movie about your child growing up and totally not include you in the script, then catch this Im gonna say “it’s not even about the parents, its about the child”!hmnnn?…Doesn’t sound too appropriate, even disrespectful…maybe even deliberate. Raise you standards and stop eating white ppls crumbs and acting like niggas should be happy they at least got crumbs from a expensive plate.

NOT SUPPORTING THIS FILM. WHEN BLACK MEN SUPPORT BLACK WOMEN PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY, I will support it in the meantime not using me for my money, get the non blacks you love to support it. I dont support nothing NENE or TAMI ROmans is doing or selling either. You the dumb ass. Your opinion isnt the only one that matters STFU!

@ the media whatever the hell ure name is. BARRIES as in the entertainment inudstry asshole.

Caramal whateer-done with you. u obvioulsy have no sense

The world is pretending, or George Lucas-he made the film. And I don’t understand why anyone would go look at a historical war film to see love scenes anyway. These men are being paid homage to-they deserve this bit of honor. Nothing, epecially in the movies, is perfect.

No come on!! It is the world!..it’s every where that Blk woman are being not portrayed as royal or important but scandalous or maybe we live in 2 different worlds? And Ok, if it’s “not the world: but George Lucas..why are you going hard to support him..fyi the Blk actors got paid…you about to support George and the white folks that are already filthy rich..did you consider that?? And the fact that you think it’s not a big deal to make a whooole movie about Blk Men and not have one Blk wife as leading shows how much you think your modern but your self worth is delayed. Let me make a movie about your Brother growing up and totally not include your Mother and then my ration is “it’s not about the Mother”..Are we really this brainwashed and dumbed down that we cant see this is the most deliberate unbalanced shyt ever??

@ London chick. I see somebody is still using their own brain and not eating the crumbs of white folk and saying “well at least they gave us something”. The mentality of Blk ppl today…What watching “Love and Hip Hip” and Kim Kardasian will do to a nation. smh!!

& HOW IS THIS A BLK FILM?? Your knowledge of ownership is sooo distorted as Blk ppl. Niggas renting and starting to believe they got homes…Po lil tink tink! This is a WHITE production,,,dont get it twisted! and I’m sure the Blk actors got payed already err thing else is going into all white pockets. Rosa Parks and Dr. MLK…all school taught regurgitation. Media Fed, sit at the bottom of the table and eat crumbs kinda blk ppl, thinking well at least it’s rich white crumbs..This masta left overs..least we got some. SMH

Dude it’s 2012 and negroes are still talkin’ like they’re Jackie Robinson trying to break into the majors and show the white man that we belong…”it will be a treat for them to finally see our race in a big action film”. Negro please. If you wanna see the film, see it, if you don’t, then don’t. I just don’t like some of the bullsh*t reasoning that certain people use. If you didn’t already know about the Tuskegee airmen, then you need your head examined anyway.

I agree! My goodness, what do people want?!?!? Always a complaint. GROW UP PLEASE.

@SO BOSS

That’s a very ironic “degree” that your getting dude lol…a “B.S. in finance”. The financial systems of the world are in turmoil and you have a “b.s.” in it lol. Maybe you can help save the economy. If I come off as “bitter” (which I don’t take as an insult), you come off as the average black mama’s boy, with no understanding of what is going on around you whatsoever. I don’t “combust” over movies because unlike you, and your average black female programmer, I don’t look for Hollywood to depict me accurately. You do, because the white man is your god. That is probably too deep for you (and I’m sure that you’re perplexed as to why I would state that) to comprehend due to the mind control you’re under. We live in a day and age where white people are swearing off “holidays” and castigating “higher education” due to it’s exorbitant expenditures but black people still want to push this “we’re almost to the mountaintop” mentality. MLK did not sacrifice anything. He was a pawn used to execute the trojan horse known as the “civil rights” movement. That is a whole other topic…

Lol @ I’m moving back to africa! Africa has it’s own issues including for example deep tribalism – causing several genocides and civil wars. It’s very simple, everyone is entitled to their own opinions though I must say Judah whilst extremely rude and offensive (I cannot believe he even dared quote scripture and curse in the same sentence) but anyway, worth listening to his logic as he seems the most informed. George Lucas may care a little about the black plight but quite frankly I’m sure he is as realist and capitalist as most of us are. I think that is the pt (or at least part of it) that Judah has been trying to get across to all. I mean of all the black actors in the US… Neyo!? Method Man!?

George aside, overly emotional perspectives / decisions are never going to help us get ahead. You want to be pro black? Get informed, acquire some real understanding and use that knowledge to do your own thing and effect change. Till then, we, the black community remain emotional pawns for politics, media, etc. Simples! Supporting black women should not be a prerequisite for supporting black men. Support all blacks – men, women, children in no particular order. Their success will definitely help towards addressing all the black issues highlighted in this forum in the long run. So let’s not be narrow minded. Like they say, Rome was not built in a day!

Why didn’t you care for it? I think I might see it today
