RANDOM BLESS - Black Entertainment

Yummy noms aside... bitch you're better than this.
     I know this is how a racist starts every statement they make but, I'm not a racist okay?  And even though I'm not (technically) black, I am offended on black society's behalf when it comes to black entertainment.  I mean, if all I had to look up to as a kid in the media was gangters, rapists, black people who were so light skinned they could be white, or (the worst!) over the top dudes in drag (Ru Paul the exception obvs)... I'd probably have a criminal record too.  It's not enough that people are still racist as hell, but when you look at billboards and cast photos of TV shows and all you see is one black guy in the blackground behind the same boring white faces that are in everything else, it's gotta be hard not to try and steal my purse or shoot someone for disrespecting your bitches.
     It's ridiculous enough the shitty stuff we gays have out in the world in pop culture, but that's what gay culture is: ridiculous over the top ferocity... but unless I'M the racist (which again I'm not), I don't think that being black means killing people and eating chicken while shouting "hallehuler" and "good afternoont" in drag.

Yeah, Eddie... this is doing great things for the black community.
     In shamdition, it's hard enough for blacktors to get work that's not snatched up by rappers and comedians already stealing the limited roles... so why do said rappers/comedians have to play EVERY characters in their films?  Don't bogart the black roles so murch, Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, and Tyler Perry.
     We get it, you like dressing up like women and wearing all that pretty makeup while pretending you aren't on the DL... trust me, white people like it too (Kelsey Grammar, Guy Ritchie, The Kids In The Hall), but that doesn't mean you need to play every black gramma or little boy with a runny nose to come along.  I mean isn't it easier to go the Ice Cube route and do kids movies where you're the lead and everyone else is doing all the acting?  Or better yet, take the Busta Rhymes route and just disappear from existence all together.  Cuz it's a recession, bitches... share the stereotype driven wealth why don'tcha?

I'd totally bone that kid. (Pedo Shambles)
     So, while I acknowledge that this is a mass generalization by calling out the "work" of a few, and while I also acknowledge that who the hell am I to judge as these movies/shows aren't all that bad, the point still remains that simply "adding one" as I've heard spoken before at former jobs, does not a diverse cast make.  Thus I lay my random bless hands on Black Entertainment.
     Here's to hoping in the near future shows cast more than one black person and said multi-black characters aren't related or married to justify why there's two of them.  Here's to hoping too that people start identifying characters by their names instead of "that black guy in that one movie".  And finally, here's to hoping Denzel Washington, Taye Diggs, and (ugh) Wayne Brady aren't the only blacktors that the Jewy white people running this town feel safe putting in their movies... cuz really, like a single serving of ice cream... it's beyond offensive at this point.
