Sick of these all black comedies that stink


Every 6-9 months or so you get these sorts of movies with all black casts including rappers, with loud annoying jokes and they always always always end up turning terrible. Is it too much to ask for some moderation and not being horribly overacted? And before I get called a racist, I'm black myself so don't bother.

What everybody forgets it that you still have to fight the movie studios that greenlight these films.

Lets say I wanted to do a film about a single black father with a teen son. They live in a nice neighborhood and he has a decent job. Son is a straight A student.

How fast does the studio tell me to put him in the hood, unemployed, son is wannabe gang banger and behind 2 grades in school? Throw in a Madea type grandmother and junior struggling to be in a gang.

There is you problem. You either do it or walk out and struggle to doit on your own and HOPE to get a straight to DVD release with NO support from the black community.

You want better black films? Start boycotting the movie studios-don't watch any film they release. E-mail and write to them that you want change. When profits go down, they will get the message.

Every few months or so, there's an unfunny movie with an all white cast. The jokes aren't funny, and the movie ends up being a flat joke, yet they perform good at the box office.

Is it to much too ask for some comedy in a white flick without it being so lame from the start?

And before I get called a racist, I'm white myself. So don't even bother to try it.
