Racism in America will NEVER die. White people, you win...

I think in Hilary Duff's new film she has a relationship with a black dude.

THIS WE'LL DEFEND! HOOAH!

First point - the difference is me defending my standpoint rationally, while you rant like a streetcorner preacher.

Second point - Aren't they also responsible for almost every bloody, irresponsible, sickening, murderous fuck up in US military history?


Done.

I'm sorry, Shotgun. I just don't get it. Will Smith pushed this story through because he liked the idea of playing a drunken superhero with a bad attitude. He got paid millions of dollars to make the film. He's a walking advertisement for success.
The best you can come up with is, "He doesn't get to keep the Aryan chick! Fuck American racism!"

Sad, man. Celebrate the guy's success.

Maybe the problem isn't with a black man kissing a white woman so much no one likes a fatty.

Bwhahahaha

Again, you have yet to name a big budget studio film with a BM/WF relationship that goes anywhere.

err....Titanic?

I realize it's probably pointless to try to change your mind about the subject, but here's a few recent movies with black men who are involved with white women:

Save the Last Dance
Storytelling
There's Something About Mary
Way of the Gun
Jackie Brown
Jungle Fever
Pulp Fiction
The Royal Tenenbaums
Kissing Jessica Stein
Bad Company
Cruel Intentions
Thirteen
Othello
O
Pieces of April
Far From Heaven
Sammy and Rosie Get Laid
Malcolm X
Undercover Brother
Finding Forrester
Men in Black
He Got Game
Freeway
The Loss of Sexual Innocence
The Caveman's Valentine
Waiting to Exhale
The Mighty Quinn
Blade II

Of course, if Latinas count, then you could include:

Wild, Wild West
Hitch
American Gangster
Training Day
Money Train

I can see that perhaps a black guy isn't in a relationship with a white girl in every movie. Maybe that's frustrating, if that's what you're looking for in a movie. Maybe there's racism involved. Maybe the people who make movies just hate the idea, I don't know them and can't speak for them. On the other hand, the subject's been shown on film from time to time.

I wonder what percentage of relationships in the U.S. involve black men and white women? If blacks are about 13% of the population (as per the census figures of 2002), then about 6.5% of America would be black men, more or less. It may be impossible to find out, but perhaps there are some stats out there on what part of that 6.5% dates or marries white women, who make up roughly 38% of the population? Of course, some of those percentages are probably too young (or maybe too old) to be available for dating or marriage, but it would be interesting to find out.

In any case, sorry you wasted your money on a crap film.

You mean you want to inject something as ordinary as "facts" into this discussion?



I clipped this chart from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interracial_marriage
and its based on US Census information at:
http://www.census.gov/population/www...m/cps2006.html

What does this data tell us? Well Black husbands are about 15 times as likely to have a black wife as they are to have a white wife (286,000 with white wife, vs just under 4 million with a black wife)

So if Will Smith makes 15 movies, and in 14 he had a black wife and in one he had a white wife, that would accurately reflect demographic reality. Its also interesting that black men are far more likely to have a white wife, than white men are to have a black wife. . . the latter is very infrequent.

Jessica Alba and the black guy from ER in Honey too.

Oh and in ER the English born Indian chick is married to a black soldier.
