Commentary: Hollywood sees world in black and white

I agree that Hollywood and TV in general is overwhelmingly white, and then black. There should be more diversity in Hollywood; more Hispanics, more Asians, more Indians, more Pacific Islanders, etc. That is what America is.

But I also beleve that more Hispanics, more Asians, more Indians, and more Pacific Islanders need to step up when it comes to civil rights for everyone, and when it comes to fighting for the poor here in America and around the world. Don't we know that if the only face that's out there is black it makes it easier to target blacks. They can't target and try to destroy all minorities. The world would see them as the racists that they are. If they only target blacks, it makes it seem like it's just a black/white issue. When we know it is a WHITE SUPERIORITY issue.

Let me be clear: SUPERIORITY IS AN ISSUE FOR SOME WHITES, NOT ALL.

ALL WHITES ARE NOT RACIST. SOME WHITES EVEN DIED WITH BLACKS DURING THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. NOW THAT'S LOVE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.

But ever notice on the films that the overwhelming majority of people marching, getting beat down, getting hosed down, and getting bitten by dogs were blacks, and whites?

If these were marches for civil rights, where were the Hispanics, the Asians, the Indians, etc.? Since this march was for all people, why wasn't ALL PEOPLE OVERWHELMINGLY PARTICIPATING?

WELL NOW IS THE TIME. NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL PEOPLE TO STAND UP AND TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!

ALL PEOPLE, BLACK, WHITE, HISPANICS, ASIANS, INDIANS, PACIFIC ISLANDERS, EVERYONE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK FROM THESE DIVISIVE, DISCRIMINATING, SELF RIGHTEOUS, HATEFUL PEOPLE WHO ONLY CARE ABOUT RICH WHITES. THEY EXPLOIT THE POOR WHITES BY STIRRING UP HATRED THROUGH RELIGION JUST SO THEY CAN KEEP THEIR ADVANTAGE.

TIME TO THROW THE BUMS OUT!!!

WHO'S WITH ME?????

Why does Hollywood have to be black, white, Latino or whatever? The themes of great movies and entertainment are not about race - they're ubiquitous, touching us with humor, drama and life themes that reach us with their HUMANITY. Should Hollywood have to cast actors with the intent of diversity, simply for the case of satisfying "equal representation? The result would be watching what equates to a one and half hour McDonald's commercial that's painfully forced and bereft of any merit.

So, let's look at what would happen if if we did have more shows that are for "Latino". After that, Asians, who (forgive my ignorance) I believe do not care to be lumped in a bucket; Indians, Pacific Islanders, and every other race could have their own shows too...separated by race and culturally specific.

Can you think of anything MORE DIVISIVE?

Of course, I'm a blonde female American. We have tons of accurate Hollywood representation.

Mr Navarrete tries to hide his huge animadversion for Obama and his future voters. No way, Navarrete. El puerco aunque se vista de seda....puerco se queda. You try to confuse the Latin vote. Everytime you speak about Obama, you mention bigots as Leslie Sanchez, et al, stupid morons wannabe rich republicans. Latino vote never, listen very well, never will forget the thousands and thousands of Latino families that have been destroyed deporting parents, children, grandparents, by the ICE, obeying racist orders of the Republican leadership. Period. We will never forget that and we will revenge that in November. Even if you don't like it.

  litsen, I understand your outrage and frustration. The Dems are as much to blame as the repubs.

I definitely agree that we should see more LATINO'S on The big screen and television. As a white person I see only black or white but no Latino.

The population has shifted largly in favor of Latino's and I think they should be represented as such.

I also think that this is a good time to bring something like this up. If the population is some 35% Latino in the US, Why don't we have a Latino running for office, ie: President. Don't get me wrong, I am not pushing illegal immigration here just the statistics.

New York Times reported that Obama secretly negotiated with Iraq officials to delay the negotiation of US troop reduction. This implies that Obama can do anything do advance his cause. The voters must know Obama's real cause. What is it?

Well if you don't like the system is the US than go home. It is what it is! Americans are sick of other races milking our system. Americans should demand more from our country and start building the fence.
