bitching.
I don't get any racism off of these posts at all, and I'm quick to bash any white male that I see speaking from his privilege, any time I get the chance.
I think he's making a class-based critique. Poor anybody who has a fucking mansion, a hot body and gets to complain on behalf of "black actresses," while her fame is sealed by her conformity to the "white standard of beauty."
I think that all kinds of groups are underrepresented in hollywood, fat people, normal gay people (not portrayed as victims or comedians), all women over 40, people with disabilities, etc.
I think she has a gripe, but as far as underrepresented social groups go, gorgeous black women that look like white women have fewer problems than most.
And I agree, if she wanted SERIOUS roles, there are plenty of independent films, if she could act, that would probably have her. She wants a big-budget, serious, starring role a-la Nicole Kidman, (whose career, I predict, will be going down the toilet now, because of her aging).
I wish her the best, but there's plenty of other things to be lobbying for, and I should be rotting in hell for even posting to this topic, when there are other, more important things to think about.
I do think the use of the term "hollyweird" is fucking irritating, though.
