Newsflash: actors of color are being screwed by Hollywood.

[Insun Park]

Black Americans need to get out of the movie business and commit further to the black drama business. Black entertainment for black people

Movie production is significantly more expensive than TV production and is too dependent on the general public to make a profit


This should be BET's lane. Whoever owns that network (Viacom I think) is really dropping the ball. This is why you don't sell your shyt to non black people

what the funk is you talking bout guy. and perhaps the situation would be different if black folks actually owned movie companies instead of just working for them

I'm just saying in general. Even names like Malcolm and others that we regard as "black" actually have a European orgin. That's why I've never had a problem when black parents just make names up. Rather have what cacs consider a "ghetto" name then a slave name.

Being that Hollywood is one of the most racist American institutions, it's no surprise Black actors are being fed scraps. How is the main talent on Empire being paid 10% of what the average white actor is being paid. And you nikkas trying to justify that?

I think their agents realize the studios won't budge when dealing with black talent. And they just accept whatever BS contract they can get.

Remember that European studio exec of Sony didn't want Denzel in some movie because he said blacks can't draw an audience overseas.
