John Nolte takes on the racism that permeates Hollywood...as the morons in hollywood preach to the American People about how racist they are....
Nolte: With 'Whitewashing' Outrage, Leftwing Hollywood's Systemic Racism Comes Home to Roost
Chow Yun Fat, Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee … Samuel L. Jackson, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Ice Cube, Will Smith … Jennifer Lopez, Andy Garcia, Javier Bardem, Antonio Banderas… Sorry, Hollywood’s whitewashing problem is not on America.
For decades, across all racial lines, the American public has embraced actors of all racial stripes, helped to make them rich and popular, and enjoyed their work in every medium, from movies to television to music. On two occasions, we even elected a black man with the middle name “Hussein” president.
Why then, if we the customers have proven time and again to be perfectly colorblind, is oh-so progressive Hollywood, an institution run by hardcore leftists for 50 years, in yet another racial bind, this time involving the issue of whitewashing, or the casting of white actors in roles originated by minorities?
------
How can an industry that relentlessly preens and poses as the vanguard of progressivism, an industry that constantly lectures the rest of us on racial matters, be in a bind where they have not groomed enough minority actors into stars — where they do not have a solid farm team of non-white actors to step in and take these roles?
Imagine a major motion picture being canceled because this oh-so leftwing industry has not bothered to hire enough Asian actors to make a big enough star out of even one of them so that a Flash Boys can be produced.
We are fifty freakin’ years past the Civil Rights movement, past the era of Sidney Poitier; we are decades into American audiences making superstars out of minority performers (Oprah, Cosby, Will Smith, Jennifer Lopez), but Hollywood has still done next to nothing to create a reliable stable of non-white actors.
