Messed up he says... the parallels between the two giant entertainment industries I see escapes you. I'm arguing there is no point on your behalf. Only it's something else the kids have a name for, rhymes with ASS BLIGHTING... but you're not a kid are you. The crux of the pair of your posts was this stammering flex where you cape for altruism on behalf of historic white executive power.
Where were you even going or have any backup with these leaps and assumption?
This shuttlecock drill of benefit of the doubt is terrible, look like you're trying to crack a sub 2 minute 40 time? So the heads of the Hollywood studio system, the decision makers, are just beholden in catering to this acknowledged (thanks?) segment of bigots and liars and American consumers who prefer their images and any associating minorities, to stick to the hierarchy of the past. While the rest of us just begrudgingly rock with it right. That is your 1st point? That not you?
Oh Rly? The people on the business end of that treatment are might more than 'hamstrung'. But I get it, you weren't talking about those people. To that I say probably a pretty good living can be made selling stars and bars merchandise showing off the symbols of ignorance/prejudice up to and including political measures proclaiming what Black doesn't do or more succinctly shouldn't be allowed to do.That’s the usual thought process, but it’s been disproven enough times to be arguably either a negligible phenomenon, or a negative self-perpetuating one leaving money on the table.
Black Panther definitely had Ike Perlmutter nervous enough to keep on cancelling it until Feige got out from under him, and even when the film was being released, someone panicked enough to switch the Chinese posters from showing Boseman’s face to instead show a masked BP… and it still made insane cash in America and worldwide, *including China,* in spite of the doomsayers at the time. On a lesser note, Star Wars: The Force Awakens made no bones about the fact it’s stars were a woman and a black man, and that film set the record for domestic box office, and what failures it did have abroad were placed pretty squarely on its reliance on nostalgia for the OT.
Adding to the argument, if, as some like myself think, The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker were overreacting to fears of racist audiences after the fact, they proved that tp be an ineffective and harmful tactic that only gained them bad publicity as time went on, drove minorities and women away from the film, and failed to slow the loss of even white fans.
Man, the NFL is the biggest entertainment entity in America and only Hollywood is it's closest rival. If the league will go as far as divide it's 60% Black players from the 40% White ones in terms of how the compensation for a settlement, then it is not a stretch to feel there are a dozen Ike Pearlmutter's still on the job doing what they do. Since you want to keep it on the Especially when there is ZERO men of color at the top of those industries in ownership or major decision making.
Back at one. 'Luckily'? What a way to put things, luckily my ass, MONEY pushes the bullshit too just that idea(l) is not a panacea. What is the dollar amount in your mind that's enough to- 'hop on board'. Lots of guys with money and power and access saw fit to storm the Capitol and there are a million others back at home who didn't find it as advantageous to run up in the Capitol along with them.
Being 'allowed' to succeed is just code for 'at least the top of the top of you people is compensated'. Don't confuse exposure leveling the playing field, not even an equel field mind you just the perception of equity is cause for blowback so we know that's gonna be a fight. NEXT.
