Transformers: Tyrese & Rachael Taylor

This is the problem in a nutshell....if people aren't comfortable with the concept of black-on-black romance.....they certainly aren't going to be comfortable with BM/WW romance (likely the most taboo of all relationships).

By showcasing positive BM/BW relationships the world sees that BM are more than just dildos with men attached to them. When that happens....BM overcome their image as being oversexed....and then it becomes harder to explain the lack of BM/WW relationships on TV.

I'll say this though....Baby Boomers and Generation X are more progressive than previous generations...but I don't think real changes will be made until Generation Y (people born roughly between 1980-1999...others say 1980-1995) which has a diverse population of over 75 million people....ages and enters positions of power in the entertainment industry. Each generation that is further removed from slavery, Jim Crow, the civil rights movement and the Regan era will likely be more liberal.

 

I thought I was the only cat who liked to see Larry with Ellen, in Bad Company. There are some movies that I watch, just to see some IR. IR is so under-appreciated in this country, afterall. She was a bit older (i'm 26), but she was still attractive and had a sexuality to her.

Wesley Snipes almost had some IR going on in Rising Sun also. A pretty blonde was trying to seduce him a bit, but the scene fades out. Sean Connery was waiting for him in their car, so nothing happened.

 

Thanks Officer J "Bad Company" thats the right title, yeah it's over ten years old but it's a good flick, and yeah your the only other cat I know of who's seen it and liked it

 

I seen it back when it first came out..

Fishburne was really starting to come up in hollywood, at this time..

He had some other movies hit the screens like Just Cause ( with Connery), Hoodlum ( remember the hype over that movie?? That was before "American Gangster") and then the whole Matrix Trilogy.

 

If I'm not mistaken that white lady was played by Poppy Montgomery of "Without A Trace" fame.

Well. Jolie did have a black boyfriend (Mekhi Phifer) in the little seen flick "Hell's Kitchen". Here's the plot summary from IMDB:


When a robbery goes awry, the bandits all end up in a puddle of blood and only one (Mekhi Phifer) lives and goes to jail for five years. Upon his release, the girlfriend (Angelina Jolie) wants her new boyfriend (Johnny Whitworth) to kill him. Only trouble is the boy friend knows that the fault was not the ex-con's and can't bring himself to do the town. Meanwhile the ex-con tries to turn his life around by becoming a boxer and training under a former heavyweight contender (William Forsythe)

Now, I saw this flick about ten yeasr ago. It starts off with a scene from the past before Mekhi's character went to jail. Its short. Possibly intentional so you don't have to give the audience too long of a loving, warm moment between Mekhi and Jolie's characters. But it speeds up to the present and most of the film has Jolie plotting against Mekhi and trying to get him killed. Eventually she learns the truth and the two of them get back together. But here's the predictable rub....all the steamy scenes with Jolie is with the new white boyfriend, before she learns of his deceit. Jolie and Mekhi never even kiss or do anything else that's intimate in the movie. The memory of that sticks with me.

smfh @ them chickening out and not doing/leaving the interracial relationship in the transformers movie

typical

 

It was a small, budget independent film (and not a very good one) that starred people who at the time were not well known to the American public. How else could it be anything but "little seen"?

By the way have you seen it? If not then wouldn't that make you part of the problem in terms of it being "little seen"?
