Racism in Entertainment Industry

I recently finished Leonard Rowe's book. It was an eye opener on so many levels. (Don't even get me started on the AEG contract with Michael--that is another post). The inherent racism that he reveals in the industry on the level of promoters of music and the righteous fight that ensued was information new to me. <br /><br />I then coupled that with a video that I watched of the National Black Caucus Foundation in October 2009 which was a tribute to Michael. I was struck by LA congresswoman swearing that the investigation by the FBI prior to his death would continue after his death.<br /><br />I just finished looking at internet information regarding recent George Lucas comments on the film industry not supporting Red Tails because their isn't enough of a market for it since it is an all Black cast. WTF?? And George talks about retiring from making blockbusters to do what he wants /bravo/<br /><br />So this makes me angry/then extremely sad to think how institutionalized this is and all the brilliance we are missing because of this continued hatred masked as ignorance. *FU*<br /><br />Guess I am going to the movies this afternoon.....<br />
