If you’re Black and got mad skills, you’re a threat; if you’re a HOTTIE, then that’s worse…..

Nope, be a black woman willing to take a role that totally degrades yourself, cast you as a white man girlfriend, wife or thing on the side, show your breast and agree to do a sex scene with said white man. You could one day get nominated for a Oscar. Correct me if I’m wrong,but isn’t that the game?

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT….

I definitely agree with richsolomon1! I had seen the many Zoe Saldana knock offs who are skinny black chicks put to be with some white man, on various shows I watched. Even if you’re a bonafied actress, it doesn’t matter, this is a trend I’ve seen for a while. Doesn’t matter if it’s Sanaa Lathan (my boo) trying to get a spot on Nip Tuck, or any black woman on ANY Sci-Fi show (Eureka, Battle Star Galactica, Firefly, etc) you can’t be a black woman and be with a black man and get a part, you have to be a black woman who is with a white man, because the part was written for a white woman originally, most likely. They only cast a black for controversy (interracial relationships), or to get their EEO stats up or something.
The other trick to get work, is to be willfully ignorant to the propaganda, in hopes of getting paid. In the past few years, hollywood has cast black woman to help manipulate the minds to say “black men infuriate black women and are inferior to black women, but look how happy she is with a us white men! Come to the light side, black women. Release your inner white woman.” If you show these stupid images all day, people will try to be the image. Media propaganda works on black women very easily, unfortunately. The real deal is: show that you will submit to a white man and you will get more parts. This is what Aisha Tyler’s formula has been forever, and every single project she has ever done, is with some white man as her guy, even in the new cartoon Archer, she’s a cross breed light skin (looks latina) black woman, but with a foul mouth and bad attitude (the negative stereotype). In real life, she only dated white guys and openly bashes black men- SUCCESS chaaaching!!! The formula is you can get work, if you submit to a white man, and disassociate yourself with black men, in your real life. This is the pattern in show business, for black women. Get a white man, show that you’ve been civilized. Hey Aisha photoshoppers keep her skin light in her pics too! Another secret. Shhhh lol

@odoggz
You are so right on that especially about Aisha Tyler’s formula. Saw her doing a live as a comedienne and she just did not even look right up on the stage. Then it dawn on me that her skin is darker than what we seen in pictures of her! She was on that show Friends playing the girlfriend to one of the white men. This only came about when plenty black people complained that the show did not show enough black people especially when the characters lived in NYC. What they do? Bring Aisha Tyler on. SMDH

hope you folks don’t mind but I’d like to post a few excerpts from the book, “Trojan Horse: Death of a Dark Nation” ….

A Hollywood Reality Check

“I was part of a writer’s panel where a white male writer — who pretended to be this super-liberal — made a statement that nearly knocked me off my chair. He said they needed more scripts where black males are romantically involved
with white females. I was sitting there with two other black women. He was
looking right at us when he said it.” – Noelle, 30, black female writer at a
major television network.

Hollywood Casting Call: Black Females Need Not Apply

The popularity of black actors in prime time TV dramas and Hollywood
fi lms is a stark contrast to the increasing LACK of black actresses in movies,
television shows, and TV commercials. With the exception of independent
black fi lms and (buffoonish) black sitcoms, it is rare to see a black man and
black woman holding hands, kissing, or making love in prime-time TV shows,
or in major motion pictures.

“I asked a white casting director why there weren’t more roles for black women to play the love interest of a black man. Do you know she had the nerve
to say, ‘America is not ready to see love between black men and women.’” At first, I was shocked, but I shouldn’t have been.

Most TV programs, commercials, and ads pair the black man with anybody but a black woman. The black woman is always alone; that is, if we can be found at all. I guess they’re trying to tell us (black women) something but we’re just not
getting it. I’m not against interracial relationships, but black actresses are
catching hell in Hollywood.” — Melody, 27, unemployed actress.

“Several years ago, I was a summer intern for one of those trash talk shows.
That day’s show was about out-of-control teen girls. I was backstage, watching this black girl, about 13 or 14, in short-shorts and a halter-top, acting all ghetto, and dropping it like it’s hot. After we went to commercial, I heard the girl’s mother ask her why she was acting so crazy, and the girl said, “That’s how the producers told me to act.”

That was the first time I was aware of how these black girls were being
exploited. The media wants these ugly images of black females to go out all
over the world.” — Diane, 26, aspiring filmmaker.

Top Six Roles For Black Actresses (With A Few Exceptions)

1. The light-skinned or biracial female who lusts after white men, aka the
“white man’s w***e.” The “provocative mulatto wench” is a carryover from
the early 1900s minstrel shows.

2. The long-haired, light-skinned, or biracial female who plays the love
interest of the main black male character.

3. The brown-skinned, hostile, immoral female who can’t get or keep a man.

4. The brown- or dark-skinned, mannish, tough, ghetto female.

5. The dark-skinned obese female as a single desperate female, mammy
figure, or demonic character.

6. A black actress who does not fit any of the above five categories defaults to
the largest category of black actresses: the UNEMPLOYED.

so the real buck stops with you AND with me. Let white Hollywood make what they want,

if WE black folks stop buying and cosigning and imitating our own degradation

The GAME STOPS COLD

Fu<k Hollywood, all it does is potray us in a negative light for the most part anyway….and Solomon it worked for Halle Berry. You are dead on with that analysis!
