Where's Jesse Jackson? He didn't like Barbershop (I still haven't seen Barbershop but understand it pokes fun at victimhood) but seems to be silent about Soul Plane (a movie I will never see).

Ok, Mr. Evans, I'm white & I'm looking in the mirror, and I don't see anything different. As usual, I admire just about everything I know (which isn't all that much b/c I'm not a celebrity stalker)about Denzel Washington - articulate, handsome, intelligent, well-dressed.
Someone like Snoop Dog (or Eminem for that matter) is a complete turnoff. I'm truly curious about what you think that says about me. I have to confess that I thought Chris Tucker was hilarious in Rush Hour, but his character was good, kind, honorable, and ended up a hero. I didn't think he was anymore "clownish" than say, Jim Carey, in Ace Ventura Pet Detective, which I also thought was very funny. Can't people just be funny or not without the color of their skin being a factor? (and I ask that sincerely; sometimes it's hard to tell in writing, but I do not intend to sound smart-alecky at all)

You've got a great attitude Julie. I believe that you are suggesting we be less "politically correct" and more "thick-skinned?" (ok, that doesn't sound right... but I mean we shouldn't be offended as easily, because of mere words) There need to be more people like you, you are an anomoly.

Where've you been all my life? :)

Yesterday I wrote a short three point response to Bill Cosby's comments, but two of them seem to be more relevant to this 'Soul Plane' nonsense. One, Black people have come to confuse caricature with culture. That the most base behavior is what identifies us as being Black. Bad credit makes you "Blacker" than me? Bad English and "street cred"? This is the most devastating of our habits; and also one that a lot of White people endorse. When you indentify your race by actions and behaviors and not simply what color you were born leads to, well, stereo-typing. Who makes the call anyway? (The most hated human being in America is Bryant Gumbel. Too many Blacks hate him because he speaks good English and is polished and intelligent - "too white"; many Whites hate him because no Black Man should be polished and intellgent - "too arrogant". Hey, is Sylvester Stallone Blacker than Bryant because he speaks terribly? Just asking) My other point is that we have reversed the historic precedent of the manners, dress etc. of the wealthier classes trickling down to middle and lower classes. My father, as a boy, wanted to dress and carry himself like Duke Ellington. My son wanted to look like he just stepped out of jail. (I put a quick stop to that.) Somewhere between those generations something happened. I blame a great deal of it on integration; when I have more time I will give you my theory.

Soul Plane was great and it was really funny. Other good black comedies include barbershop, barbershop 2, Friday, Next Friday, The Friday after that, Don't be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood, and many other fine movies which define black culture EXACTLY how black culture seems to want to be portrayed. Many black non comedies suck (with the exception of soul food which was actually pretty good) bad movies include for love and basketball, save the last dance, baby boy, and many others.

Blacks need to take the rings out of their noses. This is America. Blacks are essentially a "culture" of drugs, prostitution and ignorance.Although technically an African-American,I have zero interest in Black History Month. Despite past accomplishments, blacks today are completely unworthy.

Funny. Whites are playing a big part in producing this stuff?

Last time I checked, 9 times out of 10 its a Jew who produces this garbage. However, whites always have to take the shit end of the stick for what the Jews do to other minorities. Pretty sad.
