movies. So it is pro & cons to being in TP productions.

[MsRoyalTreasure]

Plus it was made by a white guy, so why wud u want to support it? ESPECIALLY since he manipulated OUR history, he took the bw out of it like they wasnt there wen they was. Thats called DISRESPECT for OUR history. Its kind of like wat they did with egypt. Plus the bm themselves in there are racist against their own.

@MsRoyalTreasure Black folks love to makes excuses after the fact. If we really had ourselves to together, we SHOULD have combined our resources and make this movie ourselves. We have the money to do it (Oprah,TP, Will Smith, Russell Simmons, etc) Then you would have had your black female actors.

But what happened?? We wait on white people to do things for us, then complain after it happens. In the end, we should support the movie for "Real Tuskegee Airmen" they broke cont.

[gallyun1]

barriers on so many levels. There is no point in crying and critiquing the movie after the fact it's been made. Wanna change the playing field for black women in history? Write to the Black Film Actors Guild and promote the idea of a Bessie Coleman film, blog about it, tweet about it. We need to stop waiting on white people to do stuff for us then complain about afterwards.

[MsRoyalTreasure]

Actually why wud they boycott tyler perry? Number one tyler perry supports black men and black women actors by giving them jobs to showcase their talents so thats stupid. And altho he has some negative bm(they do exist), he has VERY good black males in his films also. So again thats a dumb move.

[gallyun1]

@MsRoyalTreasure Let me explain myself, I never said I boycotted Tyler Perry movies, me personally I'm not into that genre style of black movies. I like House of Payne and that's it, no hate here.

Yes, TP gives black actors jobs but at what cost? In Hollyweird if you are constantly being put into the similar roles, guess what? you become "typecasted". How can a person "showcase their talents" if all they're in is black sitcoms and black cont.

Excellent viewpoints

[edwalgino1]

I was talking about the black women who complain because the guy was with a white woman.

[gallyun1]

@edwalgino1 Ok, I got you.

[edwalgino1]

Hello? It was Italy in the forties. There were no black american women there.

[gallyun1]

@edwalgino1 Did I say blk women was in Italy on the 40's??

[MrMidnightSpecialist]

@gallyun1 On another note, great response video! Looking forward to go see the movie! Even my mom wants to go to see it!

@gallyun1 I do agree with you that this movie is strictly about the Tuskegee Airman and that all black people alike should go and see this movie and support it! It is sad that a role that was meant for a black woman was played by a white actor, but then again, if all the black celebrities and entertainers had funneled money into this movie or another movie instead of George Lucas then the movie wouldn't have this issue. We need to support positive black films with positive black men and women!

@MrMidnightSpecialist You do not know your History and you've probably never done Military service.

[SFXSton]

they are just JEALOUS 

[ArkenWest1219]

I agree with you as well as Sahbisum.

GREAT JOB!

[keemkemo07]

I dnt know why they making a remake I didn't see nothing wrong with the first movie back in the 90s

[561buRnz407]

The same women who are boycotting Red Tails probably have Diary Of A Mad Black Women on DVD in their house right now

[mnlkthms]

man brothers need to boycott tyler perry movies if anything

[gallyun1]

@mnlkthms Man, this topic should have never been brought up..............we will probably be dead and gone when the blk community comes together.
