Segregation in the entertainment industry - You suck, holywood.

[quoteost_uid0="Virtual Fighter"][quoteost_uid0="Elena"]That's a lot to reply to...but i'll leave you with this (and try to get back to it later.)
Ok, I told you that they try to protray characters as realistic as possible and I told you that most people hang out with people of their own race which is what shows like Friends and Soul Food does. So are you saying just because you hang out more with people of your own race you're a racist?[/quote]
No, but what i'm saying is when NO TV show has a truly mixed group of friends on TV, there's something wrong with TV and there's something wrong with society.[/quote]
YES, thank you. You did it for me. It's not Hollywood it's society. Therefore, to put the blame on Hollywood is wrong. We should be blaming ourselves, if anyone.

Therefore Hollywood doesn't "suck." We as a society "sucks."

I'd like to bring up David cash.

Who is david cash? David cash is friends was friends with a convicted rapist who raped and killed a 9 year old girl.

Now, you might be saying "What does this have to do with anything?"

Well, david cash was there, and he knew this was going on, and he did nothing to stop it.

It's not a crime, but it damn well is the same thing.

So, let me make some connections.

Question:

If TV is basing it's racist views off of society, and does nothignt to change them, who is at fault, society for having these views, TV for displaying them, or society again for watching the TV and accepting it's ideas?

Answer: We are all at fault.

Why? Because someone needs to break the chain. And we all know that TV is more influential than ever, and if they would just break the chain of entertainment segregation and say "no, this is wrong, it shouldn't be like this", it could change america for the better.

Who is at fault? The rapist for raping or David cash for knowing and doing nothing about it? Society for being racist or TV for accepting those views and doing nothing to stop them?

Let's break the chain for one.

Society is racist - > TV mimmicks socity - > TV displays racist shows - > Society watches TV more than ever - > Society continues to be racist- > TV mimmicks socity - > TV displays racist shows - > Society watches TV more than ever - > Society continues to be racist, and so on and so on.

Who has the more power to change the family, the parent or the child?

[quoteost_uid0="Virtual Fighter"]I've noticed something.

In TV and movies, we have the same main charectors. White males, roughly 20-30 years old. Now, that seems like a bit of a problem concidering white males are actually sort of a minority, as there are more women than men and more non-whites than whites.

Think of a show with the main charector as a women. Now, think who that women is. The show that came to my mind is "Stacked", with Pamela Anderson. Is it odd that the only show I can think of with a women main charector has to be a drop dead hot super model (or whatever how job is now) like her?

Think of a show with a black main charector. Now, think who the other stars are. you'll probably think of something like the huglies, or the parkers or some other show with underpayed actors that come out in UPN. The problem with this is that they all have like one token white person, and all the white shows have one token black person.

It seems very disturbing to me how we as a society can claim to be desegregated, when in the entertainment buisness it's as segregated as ever. The only form of entertainment I can think of that is somewhat desegregated racially and sexually is the pron industry.

But let's try not to get into that.

Think of the movies currently out. These are the ones at my local movie theater:

Amityville Horror, The
Fever Pitch
Interpreter, The
King's Ransom
Kung fuHustle
Lot Like Love, A
Pacifier, The
Ring Two, The
Robots
Sahara
Sin City

Let's classify them by the race or gender of their cast, excluding certain films cased on robots or something.

Amityville Horror, The - White main charectors, primarily white cast with a few token black charectors

Fever Pitch - White main charectors, primarily white cast with a few token black charectors
Interpreter, The - White main charectors, primarily white cast with a few token black charectors
King's Ransom - Black cast, except for a token white person or two.
Kung fuHustle - Asians, but no poop, it's a kung fufilm, since obviously america doesn't accept foreign films unless they portray the people as crazy stereotypes.
Lot Like Love, A - White main charectors, primarily white cast with a few token black charectors
Pacifier, The - White main charectors, primarily white cast with a few token black charectors
Ring Two, The - White main charectors, primarily white cast with a few token black charectors
Sahara - White main charectors, primarily white cast with a few token black charectors
Sin City - This movie is actually pretty diverse.


Am I the only one who sees a problem with entertainment, now days?[/quote]
lain: *ahem* Racial segregation has become a captial pun.

We often find it more humorious when making jokes of racism...on a few unlikily memonts.

As if ONE black person alone would hang with a large group of white people..easily being singled out....like

In Tv shows now they will have a caucasian male or female with a group of black people...herself representing as if she's DOWN with black people......or he's just white chocolate..

While in some scripts blacks make fun of whites..like the parkers.Like Vikki, The sorta cute white girl.....her...well she get's joked on...by a regular.Like a white girl with a black girl's booty....as to say white girl's can't have...lol..


LOL I shouldn't post sometimes..ignore my post..lol :laugh:
