Lucy: Why I'm Tired of Seeing White People on the Big Screen

[Dr. Truth]

this white woman likes the nonwhite cock that much huh

Why is this racist gook allowed to post here?? Foh here China man

 

[Heavenlywings77]

bruh... I'm sorry that in 2014 you still gotta field that question...

end thread. If Your still tryna figure out where we stand with white people and your over 18, your life = fail..

 

[pookie]

I am suprised at the super white people playing roles we know where black. Like Noah, etc. Even Heaven is for real is a white thing. But heaven is about blacks getting their true identity back and retaking the world back from white devils.
After these bible movies with whites playing the roles we know were black. Now they come out with a comedy called Black Jesus. With it being a comedy (and I do not know if blacks produced it) but I feel that their are mind programming subliminal messaging in movies and television.
Hitler used the same thing for his programming and propaganda campagin.

lucy looks dumb to me...idk i cant get with the megapowered cac bitch anymore. wasnt that the same concepts for aeon flux and resident evil?

 

[dasmybikepunk]

I know about Lucy too from my anthropology classes. So when I saw a white woman casted to depict her evolution, I knew there would be a disgruntled write-up.

Just remember racism and insecurity are synonymous words

black film makers and producers have to address it head on and stop talking around it.

generally speaking a white cast film or tv show is seen as universal and a non white cast film or tv show is seen as niche...why is that?

sure you can pull a hand full of shows out and say will smith movies open big and the cosby show was huge hit..and I would submit that those are exceptions that prove the rule.

if the race, color or ethnicity of the cast is not an issue then why are studios saying they don't know how to sell a black cast film??

if the race, color or ethnicity of the cast is not an issue then why is there a dirth of black cast tv shows on network tv some 25 years AFTER cosby? why is there NO asian or latino cast showS..not just one (mindy kaling and george lopez) but more than one?

if the race, color or ethnicity of the cast is not an issue why do non white cast films on average open in LESS theaters and overseas than white cast films in the SAME GENRE?

Universities have done studies on this shit and witnessed how white audiences react differently to black cast films when compared to white cast films IN THE SAME GENRE.

The defense most people will make is that they have a right to decide what they want to see and pay for...and they do... but if a major factor in your decision is the skin color of the people in it then your decision is based on race and thats racism pure and simple..

Its not playing the race card to call it out when it happens..the cards ALREADY BEEN PLAYED.

And this just isn't some social intercourse frivolous issue..people NOT supporting a project they NORMALLY WOULD simply because of the racial/ethnic/gender make up of the cast has real world economic affects.

NON WHITE cast projects can't get funding...

NON WHITE actors and filmmakers can't get work or have their livelihoods seriously hampered.

if it weren't for that kind of thinking you'd have much more people making all kinds of incredible stories and entertainment instead of what we have today...

Imagine if Lupita Nyongo was starring in Lucy rather than Scarlett Johansson...

as it stands no matter how much hollywood professes to love her she isn't up for those kinds of heroic roles....why not?

These issues need to addressed openly and quite frankly some people are going to have to take a hit to their careers for calling it out but thats the sacrifice that has to be made in order to make progress.

and we as black people have to STOP perpetuating this FUBU/ITS A BLACK THING WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND thinking..we make stuff for general consumption not just for black people..a comedy is a comedy..not a BLACK comedy and so on...WE have to start promoting stuff UNIVERSALLY and not as some kind of niche thing. WE perpetuate the very thing thats hindering us.

You said it earlier: films are the soft glove, lockheed and co are the boxing gloves. folks out here are only trying to make films, not be the beta testers for the weapons industry.

I agree with her all day. But I wish she had used another movie as an example.

If they woulda chose THIS film to she a Black woman in this role- and went from a primate to Lucy in the scheme of evolution, a lot of Black people woulda been PISSED, especially the churchy ones.

"Oh what they tryin to say? We come from MONKEYS?"

I can easily see that happening as well.

the reality is hollywood is the soft power aspect of white supremacy/hegemony..

The hard power is weapons/technology and military might - a straight up fight

the soft power is media and propaganda - winning hearts and minds

this is why they are constantly showing white people going anywhere in the world and taking over or being the best at something even more so than the people born into it.

It also explains why we (and I mean the big WE...all of us non whites) are totally comfortable watching a story where a white man or woman can go the deepest darkest parts of asia, africa or south america wherever and move around and be in control YET if we saw a asian, black or brown person ANYWHERE in europe unaccompanied by a white person we'd all think "THATS BULLSHIT"

We've all been conditioned to accept whiteness like Visa...ite everywhere you want to be.

thats NOT a coincidence.

Yup

 

[SamSneed]

At 7 she's not ready for that answer.... She's still a child and isn't really aware of what's going on.... At this point it was just an observation.... I just told her how smart she was for picking up on something like that and to focus on the shows that depict people like us in a positive manner.

I told her I'd explain it to her when she's older... Right now all i do is make sure to show her n tell her about black people and the contributions we've made throughout history.

well said, and black people have to start going to the movies to see their movies. Wait on line, as if they were buying a pair of jordans.

A few good points then u shot it with the bs "we propagate the same thing that hinders us" crap! No sir we don't!We resort to have to be clear in want we do as a response to what they say we can do... it's like hating the hate that hate produced!

Lastly as we all know the average cac sees a movie trailer with black lead and 3 or 3 more blackfolx they automatically disconnect, we don't have that problem we been watching majority white casts movie our whole lives ..cac don't empathize with non-cacs,hence the disconnect. .and It's reflects in everything from movie ticket sales to prison sentencing..

okay..then tell me WITHOUT USING SKIN COLOR OR ETHNICITY whats the difference in a comedy with a black cast and one with a white cast?

Why is the black cast flick called a black comedy and the white cast flick just a comedy?

Lastly as we all know the average cac sees a movie trailer with black lead and 3 or 3 more blackfolx they automatically disconnect, we don't have that problem we been watching majority white casts movie our whole lives ..cac don't empathize with non-cacs,hence the disconnect. .and It's reflects in everything from movie ticket sales to prison sentencing..

its not just cacs..its all non white people..when was the last time you made an effort to see an all asian, indian, latino, whatever cast film on video or in the theater?

Be honest if you see the trailer for an all OTHER cast flick are as hyped to see it as you would be if its all black or all white cast?

Its natural to reject or hold at arms length something that doesn't look like or reflect you...BUT we do that with EVERYTHING BUT WHITE SHIT..thats the conditioning. And its something that we don't even want to admit to most of the time.

Mindy Kaling is the FIRST indian to have a show on network tv...and she's the second asian in the last 30 years (Margret Cho is the first)..she is clearly a darkskin indian but her love interests are two white men

now maybe she's attracted to white men in her personal life but we all know the business reasons for why theres two cacs promininetly featured on her show.. becuz if it looked like this

the network wouldn't have greenlit it because thats a INDIAN comedy...and be honest would you be interested in seeing a show that looked like that? Or would you think this is not a show for me..

 

[ThaBurgerPimp]

wonder how she'll feel about her being in Fast & Furious 7

 

[kraven]

hollywood is a promotional team run by jews, fags, cacs that are bout promoting themselves remember that and life will be a lil easier to understand...would a club be promoting other clubs or promoting other clubs more than their own club???nope..think they would promote themselves as great and shit on all of their compwait wait is that why black people are put in such a negative light in da media

Yup. I pretty much say this to my friends and family all the time. Hollywood belongs to white people so thats what you will see. Which is why I have so much respect for Bollywood and Nollywood.

At 7 she's not ready for that answer.... She's still a child and isn't really aware of what's going on.... At this point it was just an observation.... I just told her how smart she was for picking up on something like that and to focus on the shows that depict people like us in a positive manner.

Personally I think she is old enough for the answer; she probably knows it already. My older brother never lets me live down the fact that at 5 years old I said, seemingly out of the blue, "I wish I was white!"

The look on my mum and brothers faces were priceless. "I only see white people on TV. I want to do well like them."

Thats when the fam broke it down to me.
I told her I'd explain it to her when she's older... Right now all i do is make sure to show her n tell her about black people and the contributions we've made throughout history.

So do u agree that white then has been the default ? and if it is and we seek to self Identity then we should be proud to do it unapologetic on our terms and in our own voices to ..it's like BET when it started and whites would complain about BLACK ENT. TV being racist not understanding that everthing else is white entertainment TV and in our bold response we call it BET unapologetically
