Mainstream racism

that is probably because they arent a lot of them over there. The US is nearer to their respective homes and more importantly, many of them have family ties one way or the other here.

 

Very profound description. I love them as much as the beautiful ww.. 8)

 

absolutely on both. this is their home, old texas, nm, arizona calif, colorado,

and i love latinas like crazy

 

My question to the group is: is it absolutely necessary that there be a WW/BM love scene in a movie? I mean, damn, who cares? Do you need to be validated somehow? I don't get it.

We all know how it is in America and we all know you're never gonna see such a hook-up on screen. Guys like Denzel would lose their fan base if he was kissing on some white chick on screen (although in the deleted scenes of the "Man on Fire" special edition DVD he got it on with Radha Mitchell).

They play aroud a bit with the BM/LW hookups (Eva Mendes is the queen of it), and even a BM/AW (Snipes and Bai Ling in "Art of War"), but you're never gonna see a full-on BM/WW hookup in a mainstream Hollywood movie, that's the long and short of it.

 

Unless the WW is a prostitute.......or portrayed as an "extreme slut"

 

Like I said racism towards IR: BM, WW Will continue until someone step up
and show the writers, directors, casting agents and producers that they need them just as much as they need them. And have it be explaned how much Interracial is important to art and life especially american art & life where it happens mostly. IR is in our history....I've have heard some fascinating love stories about that. But you have to step up.

Like I said there are no outspoken black actors & we really need a kanye west of acting out there.

 

There is a question a lot of my black male buddies and white girl-friends: When will Hollywood release a major motion picture in which a black man and white woman fall in love? To be sincere with you, they raise very important issues but what they never realise is that Hollywood has shown a frustrating reluctance toward depicting romance between black men and white women.

In his last twelve movies dating back to the year 1998, Denzel – the most popular black film actor in American history – has been romantically paired with a black woman lead exactly once. In "The Manchurian Candidate," "Man on Fire," "Antwone Fisher," "Remember the Titans," "The Hurricane," "The Bone Collector," "The Siege," and "Fallen" Denzel has no major romantic partner at all. Likewise the films "Courage Under Fire," "Virtuosity," "Crimson Tide," "The Pelican Brief," "Much Ado About Nothing," "Ricochet," "Heart Condition," "Glory," "Power," "A Soldier’s Story," and "Carbon Copy."

In "Bone Collector" and "Pelican Brief" Denzel is paired with a white female lead (Angelina Jolie and Julia Roberts, respectively) who, though single, attractive, and facing classic Hollywood ‘woman-in-peril-looking-for-knight-in-shining-armor’ scenarios, managed not to "hook up" with the handsome Washington throughout their respective films.

In "John Q," his character is married to a black woman played by Kimberly Elise, with whom he shares little in the way of romance throughout the suspense/drama. In "Manchurian Candidate," Elise plays a strange friend-like character who invites Denzel to stay in her apartment for an indefinite period. It is never even alluded to in the movie whether she has "relations" with him.

In "Mississippi Masala" Denzel falls for an Indian woman.

In the thriller "Out of Time" Denzel has a romantic affair with a married character played by black actress Sanaa Lathan. By the end of the film, Lathan has double-crossed Denzel, who begins to show rekindled interest in his colleague and ex-wife, played by…Eva Mendes.

In "He Got Game," his character falls for a white prostitute. Its important you note that this is a very huge exception of bm/ww hookups in Hollywood. The only thing white America would be comfortable seeing is bm hooking up with white men "rejects" and/or women who are not desired by wm anymore. This is a very desolate act of cowardice but that also stems from trying to console white men in America.

However, notice the relative comfort Hollywood – and by extension, America – has with depicting black female/white male relationships. Witness Halle Berry, who in the past decade has played opposite non-black leads in "Catwoman," "Die Another Day," "Monster’s Ball," "Swordfish," "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge," "Bulworth," the TV movie "The Wedding," and "The Rich Man’s Wife," and opposite blacks in just the TV movie "Their Eyes Were Watching God" and the bio-pic "Why Do Fools Fall In Love?" 2006 expects to see releases in which Berry plays a woman who is raped by a white man and Lathan plays a woman who, determined to marry and finding few good black prospects, partners with a white man.

Many blacks in the entertainment industry have used their bully pulpits to not only point out white-on-black racism, but demonstrate black-on-white racism through the most insensitive of statements.

Sidney Poitier, who won a Lifetime Achievement Award, kissed a white woman in Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner? If Mr. Poitier was a groundbreaker, where would Denzel be today had Sidney not taken that role because he had to kiss a white woman? As Sidney properly pointed out, those were different times. So what is Denzel’s problem in today’s politically correct and tolerant Hollywood?

Don’t get me wrong. Denzel Washington is one of the best actors in the world and if he chooses not to kiss his gorgeous, white leading women, and can make a studio succumb to his choice, more power to him. But could you imagine what would happen if Julia or Kelly said they wouldn’t kiss Denzel? Something about all hell breaking loose….

To be honest with you, the only color Hollywood gives a s**t about is the color gren. Food for thought.
