 NEW YORK -- It never ceases to amaze
me that characters that portray hookers, pimps, drug dealers, prisoners
or any other type of criminal are readily accepted as African Americans
by the entertainment industry.
It would seem that any role or character
that denigrates African Americans whether it is in print or on the big
screen is the call of the day.
On the other hand if a script or
manuscript comes across the desk of an executive that portrays an
African American in a positive light these roles and characters are
discarded. |
