105262, But black people aren't allowed to entertain. Posted by Orbit_Established, Wed Jun-27-07 12:37 PM
(I agree with you, btw)
*EVERYTHING* we make is to be charged to our "culture account(my term)", and if its ignorant, than our entire culture is charged with ignorance.
White people don't have that burden.
They can continue to support absolute horseshit, over, and over, and over, and over, and they'll never receive a backlash from someone suggesting that WHITE people need to watch better films, or someone who condescendingly chides white movie goings tastes.
Its just a double standard.
White people can be ignorant and entertain, no one says shit. No one accused white people of "Racial cheerleeding" when they all went to see 'Borat'. White people went because they thought it was entertaining.
I see no reason why we need a grand explanation as to why I went to see 'Little Man'. Shit was entertaining.
I feel you.
