Because too many people have the white man's ice is colder syndrome.
Black filmmaker justifies hiring whites for projects
- Thread starter get these nets
- Start date
So, what I'm gathering from brehs who seem to understand Tariq is that QUALITY= White film crews?
As in, it's like finding a needle in a haystack to find black film positions?
Brehs are in here saying, "nah, I understand, because I tried to put my man on..."
Aye, fukk ya mans. We are talking about black professionals with LinkedIn pages and credentials. That doesn't exist?
FOH.
Sounds like Umar hiring a white attorney and/or real estate agent.

He tries to justify saying Blacks ain't shyt compared to cacs and yet he has followers who think he'll lead them to some promised land utopia. Pathetic
Absolutely I understand that. He, however, lives in LA which has more black people in the technical areas of film than probably anywhere else in the US.
He’s free to hire who he wants, but he routinely goes out of his way to say how janky black folks are when it comes to business and work. It’s no need for any of that.
Yall keep harping on “theres soo many black people in LA
theres sooo many black professionals “
Dog yall not realizing, these same “black professionals”, be the same ones thats
full of shyt
not tryna collab
are whitewashed
tryna get over
having a degree, being black, and calling yourself a professional dont mean you are right for a project, but those who have never done that cant fathom these are some of the folks comin in, not showing up, or showing up and complaining/ stealing, not working hard etc
when you dealin with film industry black folks , u dealin with a lotttttt of weird/fake mufukkas
truth of the matter is, you more likely to be able to have a 40-70% black crew and cast, and, everyone else be a different race
anyone who has done substantial shyt with a substantially sized crew knows what im sayin
Are white people not guilty of the same things?
It’s called vetting people.I know the realities of the industry but if I’m making a project about black pride and black history, I’m going to go out of my way to find as many qualified black people as I can to work it. Especially if it’s black funded, which his projects are.
Y’all don’t see how backwards it is to have black people donate $200k+ and turn around and not hire black people to work?

I see already two non Black people in this short azz video and what is the name of this project?
See how easily we can go tit for tat with this petty sh!t.
That's not going tit for tat. Tit for tat would be providing evidence that it's impossible for Tariq - and any black producer/director for that matter - to put together a professional black film crew in LA.

Who said it was impossible? Is it viable independently on a grand scale like Hidden Colors? The only thing your video proved is that you "hire" non Blacks too.That's not going tit for tat.

It's almost as if folks don't know that black film crews have existed since the 80's, including Spike's
I'd classify a film crew as black if all of the creative leads on the project (i.e. the DP, director, production designer, costume designer, gaffer, etc.) are black. Spike did that on all of his classics.
Ernest R. dikkerson was his cinematographer on She's Gotta Have It, Malcolm X, Do The Right Thing, etc.
Wynn Thomas was his production designer on all of the above films.
John Michael Reefer was the costume designer on She's Gotta Have It.
Larry M. Cherry, the make up artist on all of Spike's early films:
Bill Lee, the composer on all of Spike's early films:
Need I go on?
Tariq going out sad.
Low key he don't like paying black people.

It was viable for Spike. If we really wanna talk scale, Tariq's budget on HC4 was $500,000. Spike's budget on School Daze was 6.5M. If we're gonna entertain the idea that higher budgets = fewer black people, what percentage of Tariq's crew was black vs. Spike's?

. I have no idea what the % is, but Tariq is not backed by a white studio.
But seriously, what's the name of your project and where can I see it and support?
