iirc viola davis has spoken out about the colorism and racism she faces in hollywood
and we agree with her but what you want us to do about it?
@BA whats to you folks
lol thats not what we are saying at all
you going to protest outside these studios and demand we are casted or tweet at them on twitter
Ive mentioned several other more damning issues caused by racism and colorism througout this thread
so now u just making up s***
Every movie that's made for black people I watch, if there's a dark skin nigga that's the lead. He has to have a light skin gf. All the black women have to be light skin. Dark skin woman is a nagging b****. S*** was rampant in the 90s and early 2000s: see Martin.
And if you a light skin dude, you're the good guy or the guy the woman dreams about. Dark skin nigga is just a nefarious evil doer: see Diary of a Mad Black Woman.
Only time dark skin people get some decent treatment is some s*** about being straight from Africa, you can't just be a normal dark skin dude. Dark skins have Tyrese. That's it.
In America at least, s*** bothers me
lol that's just the way of the entertainment world, ie, an industry created to sell stereotypes and caricatures. I'm sure most of the films you're mentioning or thinking of weren't made by a black owned film studio.

There are many issues caused by it,but KTT2 isnt exactly the place where we have power to change those things

I have said this multiple times throughout this thread that more than who is in front of the lens who is behind the lens matters on depictions of lightskins, dark skins and black people overall
"racism isn't going anywhere so just stfu nword"
Black people must fix the fundamental issues we have with ourselves before addressing or worrying about Hollywood. Why do so many black people fetish light skin and European features in the first place and what is the root cause of this?
Why was Tyler perry allowed with always casting a light skin brother as the savior and dark skin brother as evil boogeyman? Who is the main demographic for Tyler perry

THE KING OF THE HOTEPS
called me a piece of s***
there are too many... black people of a certain type on here for this to be a decent discussion
this is the same forum that had a whole thread about black people needing to let go of soul food bc its "slave food that makes us look bad".

Every body lighter than you is lightskin now, got it. @tomonthekeys
The selection of threads or comments buckey chooses to reply in are eye brow raising to say the least.

I agree but
tyler perry is media
hollywood is media
to answer your question: it's media
tyler perry and hollywood and any other industry or media personality promoting White lies (white supremacy ) is responsable for pushing this down our throats
people who accept it or promote it on an individual level need to go change too ofc
but I feel like this is akin to saying we can solve climate change by recycling whilst industries make up a vast majority of the carbon gas emissions
individual responsabiltiy matters very little in the face of corporate giants - this is common knowledge - for cultural matters there's this concept called " cultural hegemony " - if more people were aware of this, I think the chances of getting rid of such issues would be far greater
back to colorism: how are people suppose to change a behavior they're not even aware is based of white supremacist lies? raising awareness is important imo
Wut
Like whats to you folks
why you be saying some of this s*** like "they dont show black people robbing"
they show black people committing crime a lot
