White Chicks made money because WHITE people saw that joint in droves, not black people. Most of us thought that concept was corny as hell. But, no matter what, you'll blame it on black people.

It's like assuming 50 Cent is making his money off of black people, and that all we like is gangsta shit. No, it's the younger white people who support the buffoonery of the few black people who coon, then some whites assume that's all we're about. They greenlight what they're comfortable seeing you as, not what they fear you may actually be, or become.

I mean, did you really think they would let Denzel knock off Julia Roberts in The Pelican Brief? Oh, wait that was a "financial" decision right?? Race had nothing to do with it!!?!? blame it on black people, go ahead.
