So many conclusions can be taken from this chart, sources are at the bottom:; this is the truth about how Hollywood racism (racial capitalist oppression) is directly tied to the black population in America's buying power, income disparity with whites, the political economy, etc.

What are we trying to deduce here?:dwillhuh:

Blacks are trying to break through in hollywood, but because of our small population, stereotypical representations in film, and our small buying power both in the political economy and box office, racial capitalist oppression continues to block our full access to the system to tell our stories the way we want them to be told; in other words, this chart details how and why black autonomy is blocked in film

ima keep on saying this WE NEED OUR OWN MEDIA GOD DAMN IT!!!!!!
It's so incredibly difficult, there are only really like 6 or 7 media companies right now from what I know.

We need to follow the Korean model. They've been putting together fantastic projects for years, and they don't have giant budgets, just good stories and talented people to tell them. My favorite film movement right now.

I'm not really trying to hear this shyt man.

Black people are no more than 12-13% of the population. It will NEVER be our favor if our demographics don't represent any other reality.

That kind of was the point of the chart...not to just look at it, but to discuss the reasons why the white capitalists hypersegregate hollywood the way they do..I don't post shyt just to look at; let's engage the numbers and draw multiple conclusions
