We;ve all seen these movies where it wouldnt even be the same movie if one or more of the cast members were black.
For instance
Kate Winslet takes in Josh Brolin who is running from the police and falls in love with him. Its a beautifully delicate and powerful struggle between love and ethics that tugs are your heart strings.
Get the fukk outta here
A white woman harbors a fugitive, its a love story.
A black woman harbors a fugitive, its a crime.
This movie wouldnt last 2 seconds in a hollywood office. Picture Gabrielle Union hiding (nonconsentually at first) Idris Elba who escaped from jail and as he hides in her apartment and through several door checks, and other close calls (the landlord, the neighbor, a nosy friend) starts to fall in love with Idris and decides that its within her hearts interest to make sure he never gets caught and taken away
.
or even a white woman harboring a black criminal-- lets keep it classy say Julianne Moore and Denzel. perhaps Denzel was a doctor who lost his license and sentenced to 5 years in jail for malpractice and he escaped-- he grabs her to escape and at home she has a sick boy and cant get him assistance cause shes a broke mom, denzel helps this lil b*stard for free. The boy slowly gets better, denzel teaches him the piano, mom starts falling in love with denzel and makes the conscious decision to make sure he doesnt get caught.
Still wouldnt work.
But if Halle Barry or Sanaa Lathan, or Zoe Saldana or the cringeworthy Rosario Dawson (
) harbored a ruff and rugged Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling or Ben Foster and fell in love....that could see some dvd racks.
shyt even home alone wouldnt have worked. White folks woulda called CPS after the first time they left "Kevon" home accidentally.
