Why not just tell people I’m an alien from Mars? Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight. They’ll believe anything you say, because you’re a reporter. But if I, Michael Jackson, were to say, “I’m an alien from Mars, and I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight,” people would say, “Oh, man, that Michael Jackson is nuts. You can’t believe a damn word that comes out of his mouth.” ~Michael Jackson
'Red Tails' Travails Highlight Hollywood's Racism• • By: Lynette Holloway | Posted: January 10, 2012 George Lucas (Jemal Countess/Getty Images)George Lucas put Hollywood on blast during an interview with Daily Show host Jon Stewart about his struggle to find a distributor for his latest work, Red Tails.The Hollywood veteran did not bite his tongue while explaining why he had such a tough time, Mediabistro reports: ”It’s because it’s an all-black movie. There’s no major white roles in it at all. It’s one of the first all-black action pictures ever made.Lucas spent 23 years making the film, which is based on the true story of a crew of African American pilots who fought in World War II and helped start the civil rights movement. “I financed it myself. I figured I could get the prints and ads paid for by the studios and that they would release it,” he explained to Stewart. “And I showed it to all of them, and they said, ‘Noooo. We don’t know how to market a movie like this.’ It’s not green enough.” And by green, Lucas means profitable.Kudos to Lucas for shedding light on a problem that blacks from all walks of life (except former GOP presidential contender Herman Cain, apparently) know about all too well.

Seems like USA has always had a problem in that matter. At the end it does not matter the color of your skin. Look at Obama, being elected by many black people because of his skin color instead for what he could bring to the table. At the end, deception. He did not keep up with his promises, as all the politicians usually do. He has not been any different.

@miss gI agree with you on the "black & brown race card". This is not being racist this is being totally honest as American's. C'mon are American's that niave that no one can see the people the government agencies target? Black & Browns get targeted for vaccines, lower income, lower IQ, what should really make American's mad is because that's the race they target, that's the race that seems to LOVE OBAMA. I'm disgusted to think that because Obama being black he was able to talk other "black & brown" people into lifting him up being the savior to save this country. When in return he has walked hand & hand with the corrupt scum bags who enginereed this whole mess. Obama knows he will be the most hated president. He knows that. Obama is not working for USA. He works for Wall Street. I'm currently dating a black man & we discuss this all the time, with him agreeing with Obama playing the "black card" & preying on others of same color to get them to like him, with all the LIES, & DECEPTION. @TINK....We also need to see this as they are, not as how we want them to be. The color of Obama is what made him deceptful. That is what people should be angry about. As long as the government can keep us American people fighting about race, they can continue to get away with the stuff they are doing.
Watch the Obama Deception. & The Fall of the Repulic. Both can be download full length on You Tube.This is will tell you how Obama was "groomed" & done deal" for the president.This is will be the best movies to understand what Obama was able to sell the NWO....
