IMDB Doesn't Like Black Films

They don't. There is no reason why Roll Bounce should be 4.5. Definitely 5.5-6.5, but 4.5 is ridiculous. I realize it's an ethnic movie, but the story is perfectly decent, if a little cliched, and the roller skating, I mean, c'mon, is just cool. RT clocked it at 66%, and c'mon, it's not exactly like it's hard to watch.

Maybe the majority of IMDb users are white, or something. Which isn't to say that IMDb users are racist. More to say, their opinions of films are disproporionately skewed.

Simple solution.

Rate their white movies, 1's. It is what I do.

IMDB loves black movies, trust me, they just front like they don't. I believe over half of the posters here are absolute racists who are jealous and ashamed to admit that they like anything different from their cowardly selves. They are the first ones bursting through the doors of the theater of a black movie and rental stores when such movies come out on dvd. Of course they have to complain and turn their noses up to fake a good front. Movies I don't like, I don't type in their titles or visit their message boards. Why would I? People love to front, I'm telling you, they love that *beep* more than the audience it was made for. Don't be fooled.
