We as black people have to stop acting like we can't do for ourselves or like it's white people's jobs to tell our story. We are the ONLY people in this world that waits for other people to tell our story or make our "dreams" come true. If we want more and superior black movies they have to come from us. It is no one else responsibility to make us feel good about ourselves. Stop whining and acting like babies y'all. Do for self and let make things happen together.

And when Hollywhite does portray us, I'm skeptic. shmptn3 summed T. Perry up perfectly. He may as well have the transgender surgery and be done with it since he's an honorary black woman. I'm not mad at this movie, though; I'm sick of Hollywood period. Movies have just recycled scripts these days anyway, making motion pictures irrelevant and useful as a marketing tool and propaganda machine.

Thanks for coming out with this - the fact that GL and others like him are not beyond criticism. IMO, it appears that many directors/producers have a vested interest in communicating a specific range of images about blacks (more notably, those related to concepts of dependency). Blacks should focus on using cost-effective film production technologies to create independent films, but in small distributed groups that unify for the project(s). This would better offset incurred film costs.

How about a popcorn movie about Anne Frank.

Word of advice: When you read someones response to your comment, try to remember, or even reread, your comment that evoked that response. You said, "wth u mean by field work," so thats why I mentioned the BLK experience. You made two points: 1) The black experience is broad, and 2) Not all BLK immigrants can go back to their homeland. Well, my response simply answer your fieldwork question, and your claim of BLK foreigners not being able to go home. Its that simple. I read your sit correctly.
