Thank you. I thought I was the only person wondering why they didn't just do this.

I never understood why many people feel black movies are supposed to be some kind of education tool.
I guess this is the ultimate catch-22 for those in entertainment. Does social responsibilty to your race/ethnic group superceed creativity? (Creativity meaning the right to create or produce whatever you want - where its music, screenplays, etc. regardless if its for pure entertainment or eucation). Thoughts?
