Racism is so prevalent in todays culture even though many think its dead. For many the signs are not as obvious as to others. Police Profiling, Court Rulings, heck even in Television and Movies nowadays. Lemme give an Example:
Setting: Urban TenamentsCharacter: MichaelPersonality: Angered by his environment. Mentality Twisted from being raised in a broken homeCharacter Flaw: He must learn to trust to make it out of the hood, but has learned that in life no one is above backstabbing
Now let me ask you this... If this were the plot to a movie you heard about, What Race would you expect the Young Man to be?
I'm sure at least most of you envisioned a Black Teen whose father left while his mother worked tirelessly in attempts to raise him. So if a Black movie director decided to go with that template, and based it off what you would expect... Does that make him authentic? What if he is a White wealthy director? a Racist?
What about in Scary/Horror flicks? Everyone has that same thought whenever an African American is in the cast... "I'd be surprised if he makes it passed the credits." Is this a form of racism? Is there some deeper meaning as to why the Blacks need to be eradicated to make the movie more enjoyable? Or is it simple luck of the draw?
Now i'm no Social Analyst but I do pay attention to a lot of things and this one YouTube video cleared up the Scary movie question for me. Please watch and have an Open Mind as to why Blacks are not long living cast members in Scary Movies...
BECAUSE WE VIOLENT AS A MOFO THATS WHY
Unfortunately the knee-jerk reaction for a lot of African Americans is not the standard "Fight or Flight" reaction; it's a common Urban Scientific term called the "I Wish A N*gga Woulds." So during your next Scary movie, don't be mad when the black man dies off or the "Gangsta" Role is filled by an African American, You think the same way. I mean honestly, How enjoyable would the movie Training Day have been if Denzel was replaced by Adam Sandler? How long would Texas Chainsaw Massacre have lasted if it was a car load of Negroes driving down a deserted dirt road in the middle of nowhere? Really... Black people on a dirt road... in the middle of nowhere... Picking up hitchhikers? Pffffft, yeah right. Matter of fact, whens the last time you even seen a car full of negroes PERIOD? Asking for Gas money nowadays is like saying, "No, you can't come."
Every issue between Races isn't Racist. Sometimes is just True
