I heard sumpin’ about the Academy Awards. Did that event happen lately? I don’t pay much attention to Hollywood because it is full of overpaid, America hating, rat bastard commies. Evidently there are some black people pissed off that the movie Selma wasn’t nominated for 100 Academy Awards and this is evidence that Hollywood is full of white, black hating, racist mofo’s. In fact, it’s just the opposite. Over the years Hollywood has bent over backwards providing roles for black actors.
Let’s go all the way back to the 60’s and one of my favorite movies, The Dirty Dozen. One of the dozen was played by Jim Brown. First off, this was back in WWII when the Army was segregated. There is no way there would have been a black dude on that team. Second, the only racist on the team was the guy played by Telly Savalas. That would have been unusual back in the 40’s. Prolly half of those guys would have been racist, especially the country boy played by Fess Parker. Third, during the war game exercise they had the black dude impersonate a major in a white unit. Wouldn’t happen.
Starting in the 60’s it seemed they always tried to put a token black dude in almost every movie.
Remember the Pelican Brief with Julia Roberts? The reporter in the book was white. In the movie he was black and I think he was played by Denzel Washington.
Didja notice in cop movies the police captain is usually black, like in the movie Speed? Hollywood likes to put black people in positions of authority. Or they like to make them smart like in the latest Batman movies where Morgan Freeman played Fox.
Remember Rising Sun with Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes? In the book the Snipes character is white.
Here’s another one. The movie version of Wild, Wild West where Will Smith played James West. Really? Not to take anything away from Will Smith. He was good in Independence Day and Enemy of the State but James West? A black secret service agent during the Grant administration? What genius thought up that idea? The movie was pretty bad but casting Will Smith as James West made it even worse. What’s next? Wesley Snipes as James Kirk in a Star Trek movie?
Here’s another one, The Bone Collector, Hollywood’s adaptation of the Jeffrey Deaver novel about Lincoln Rhyme, a quadriplegic forensic scientist. In the book, Rhyme is white. In the movie, he was played by Denzel Washington. His attendant was a gay white dude so naturally they cast Queen Latifah in that role. The only major character they got close to correct was Sachs who was supposed to be gorgeous redhead. She was played by Angelina Jolie.
Or what about Ender’s Game? Major Anderson was a white male. In the movie Anderson was a black female.
I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Hollywood bends over backwards to cast black actors in movies even if the characters are white in the original books, plays, or screenplays. The RWPPs are just pissed off that Selma didn’t get nominated for every major award and that proves that Hollywood is racist when in actuality the opposite is true. Did Selma win in any category? I figgered that in politically correct Hollywood it would have swept the awards.
Update: The Brits are even worse than we are. For example, when they rebooted Dr. Who, the Doctor’s first companion was Rose Tyler, a white blonde, and her boyfriend was, wait for it, black. Then, the Doctor’s next companion was Martha Jones, who was a black medical student. Her father divorced her mother and took up with a white blonde babe. The next companion was Donna Noble who was transported from her wedding, where she was marrying a black dude, to the Doctor’s TARDIS. In the episode where the Weeping Angels were introduced. Sally Sparrow, played by the adorable Carey Mulligan, was hit on by a black cop who was sent back in time before he could call her to go out for a drink. She saw him later that day on his deathbed. He wound up marrying another white girl named Sally. And the latest companion, Clara Oswald, played by the hot Jenna Coleman, had a black boyfriend, now deceased, named Danny Pink. It’s nice to see that the Brits are color blind or at least in Dr. Who Land they are and they insist on ramming it down our throats. By the way, how come blacks in the UK can speak proper English while so many American blacks can’t?
And don’t forget the black stormtrooper.
Kinda like “more cowbell.”
hollywood and tv do their social engineering so everyone will eventually see abnormal stuff as normal.
Find a tv show that doesn’t have a gay and/or mixed race couple and you are probably watching Scoobi Do
Most of you are too young to remember the 1965 (Black & White….YEA, PUN INTENDED) T.V. show “I Spy”, which broke ground in that it was the first American television drama to feature a black actor (Cosby) in a lead role. Cosby played the partner of Rober Culp and about the only words Cosby spoke were yes or no.
Culp’s “Kelly Robinson” character was a more experienced agent was the excuse.
Actually, Cosby was a token, probably the first token to play a “lead” role on TV! Today, that series wold be laughed at my the millenial generation.
Col Graff was played by Harrison Ford in “Ender’s Game.” He must have been thinking of another character.
Yep! Made a mistake. I meant Major Anderson. Fixed it. Thanks!
& that’s why I read the book & haven’t been to a movie in years. Might watch if
/when it shows up on telly.
Ender’s Game is currently showing on cable. Other mistakes, Bonzo was bigger than Ender in the book, smaller in the movie. Hard to make a movie of it since Ender is six when the movie starts and is around 12 when the book ends.
Don’t pay much attention to any of Hollywood’s awards shows anymore. Just like looking at the good looking women who are determined to show off their bodies and flash themselves at these events. That’s about all I care for anymore. Other than that I could care less who wins what, it means nothing to me. At this point in my life I rarely even go see a movie. I am watching more stuff from the 80’s and back than ever before. Most of what I see now is just junk and not worth the price of admission to a theater.
I thought of one:
The Shawshank Redemption. Morgan Freeman played “Red”. In the book (novella to be accurate) “Red” actually WAS Irish.
The new James Bond is gonna be a black guy.
The last one was played by a gun hating goop gobbler.
Heard that too about Idris Elba. Doing that would set the franchise of Bond back further than what Lazenby did to it. I’d rather see Connery at his present age reprise his role rather than give it to someone who clearly doesn’t fit the profile of a secret agent. But then, Ian Fleming’s books are so misrepresented anyway. I only recently heard that Daniel Craig was a penis puffer. It makes sense now that I’ve reflect on his roles. He’s never convincing with the woman, and plays his role in a very robotic way, emotions purposely stifled. Connery was the one and only, all others 2nd rate at best.
The movies tend to identify blacks as the authority figure or the scientist or the smartest person in the room.
The remake of the movie Shaft has to be the most anti-white racist movies ever made.
Then we have American X where the “racist” white guy finally has an epiphany that black people are not only equal, but better.
Denny, noticed how many times you saw Denzel in those roles. I used to like that guy. A lot. Until……………..wait for it……………….Obama. Yup. The guy who has been known to go into VA hospitals and write a check to pay off some poor veterans mortgage is an Obamaphant. I read it in the liberal rag known as Reader’s Digest a few months after the Magical Negro won the first election. I thought, great, an article about Denzel, great actor, good guy. Wrong. He says, in at least three different places in the article, that he took his kids to the inauguration because of the fact that this was the “first black president”. He was so enamored with that fact, that he obviously didn’t see all the other bull shit this guy brought to the table with him. For that, he will never have my respect.
I blame 24. Americans thought when they voted for Obungler that they were gonna get David Palmer.
I agree. I feel the same way about Morgan Freeman and Samuel Jackson. Can’t see them the same way as they are seeing only the race of the man, not the ineptitude, bias, commie filth, etc. I can’t stand to watch Matt Damon or George Clooney for their strong political bias. I remember that Cary Grant used to say that none of the public need ever know your political views, else half of your audience could despise you.
I notice this in commercials all the time most notable the state farm is there almost all of them have a smart black driver with state farm or the “great insurance agent is state farm. Never is the dumbass a black driver
All sitcoms are coming up with mixed race couples as are the commercials.
All the smart detectives are female except Blueblood, and his partner is a
female. NCIS has the most capable agent an adorable female.
The only people who can be laughed at by comedians are white males.
They are the stupid ones in the commercials, rescued by the ladies.
I still haven’t figured out why Al Sharpton can still owe millions in back taxes and still be a free man. Really,… I have figured it out,… just pointing it out.
I loved Clint Eastwood’s smackdown of Spike Lee: http://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2008/jun/09/clinteastwoodvsspikeleethenewbattleofiwojima
