Yeah, but
its true we have a limited amount of films and roles, that's in part because we are a minority (that's life) i don't take films like Juana Mann (whateva) seriously, its comedy, its satire, its entertainment, yeah should we portray positive role models, etc. etc. yeah, but there are plenty of stupid movies with non blacks in them and we don't beat them down (generally speaking) like we do our own films. How many of us went to see Water Boy or any Jim Carey films, it is what it is. because we have so few all black cast films we pick them apart more so then white films of the same genre, i say give the black actor a break, he or she has got to eat, and if this type of movie is what sells and it does more so than our dramas sadly, then so be it. our day is coming more and more black writers are getting a chance, more directors, but it takes time. let's be real Vivica is not getting the calls that Julia or J-Lo gets and you know that's true. talent often gets over looked when it comes to money. i love Julia and J-lo is decent, but Vivica is a great actress and its sad her blackness (imo) keeps her from the better roles. I guess one Halle (half white) is all Hollywood can take. oops.
