Longer clip of him "going in" https://www.facebook.com/peakvids/videos/870067429754939/
He kinda got them together. Lol
kii. get that powdered face ho right on together KING
ugh he got them the fuck TOGETHER in that full clip.
i love how he interrupted them as they tried to "clarify" their answers.
hun, he just wanted the fucking number. not the history behind your company, or your mission statement.
as he sits there with the most successful show right now and largest growing show of the past 23 years right in his back pocket. :justabit: :supluv:
BOOK. Gay black self .
And that white producer had the nerve to ask "where are ur asian writers", as if he was proving some type of point. idiot coon, asians do not account for the majority of pop culture in this country. And the premise of Lee's argument is the fact that there are WHITE writers in the rooms for black actors. What the hell does an Asian have to do with this? Dumb ass. deflection in its purest form, but if ur gonna deflect at least ask a relevant question.
i loved every moment of that
it's an awkward question to be asked, but it's needed
This makes me soooo happy. It's scary when you're thinking of creative ideas and writing but in the back of your mind you wonder "will I even be acknowledged" due to your race!! Thank you Lee Daniels!!! I'm glad he has finally woke up.
Between this and Viola's speech. I'm so happy. They're bringing awareness about black people lacking opportunities in the TV and film industry.
13.7% minorities in the writing room for 2013-2014 season...
that's so low
Lemme SETTLE in to the MESS
Yesssssss!!!! Loved it
CLOCK these demons. Some of them aren't even aware of it. But it's racism.
That one pale faggot irked me. Why are you combatting what he's asking? He was just trying to make a point

And didn't get loud or defensive. I love how he handled himself. Very superior and entitled, which was appropriate for that moment.
the only thing i wish he didn't say was "aint"
Quote from: Ralf on September 26, 2015, 10:30:04 AM

I think he used it to drive home his point about white people writing for how blacks talk.
Just because someone uses ain't, it does not make them ignorant ....same goes for the way most people type, spell, etc. on social media. It's all just cultural colloquialisms. Most people in America in each race have their own. It's usually just ours (blacks) in that are depicted as ignorant and bafoonery.
It's so profound how they've made us hate ourselves and some of us still don't realize it.
The use of "ain't" is a huge part of our culture. I think it was placed appropriately.
No need for him to try to use King's English to impress those coons.
Empire's numbers are impressive enough lolz
They need to be trying to impress him. And hoping he'll throw them a bone. :justabit:

It's just amazing that for once, we're witnessing this very familiar discussion in a much different setting.
A black man....excuse me....a GAY BLACK MAN....sitting amongst his white counterparts as the most successful
Giving them advice that things which have made him successful.
Putting them in their PLACE. With receipts to back every word that comes out of his mouth.
And not cowering into a damn near fetal position soon as one of them attempt to counter his rhetoric.
instead, talking over THEM. let them see how it feels. to be in a lessor position, and talked over, and ignored, and disregarded.
it's quite fucking beautiful! lmao. hehe! (http://24.media.tumblr.com/6ef4d0d4e17b843c2113148d5f70a02d/tumblr_mwj1yetCW11ql5yr7o2_250.gif)

Referring to the word "aint".
I knew why he used it. And he placed it correctly and "drove it home" if you will.
But not everyone is going to catch it. They'd be too ignorant to do so. Which is annoying.

I agree, to some extent.
Not every white person is like certain white people.
I don't know. I just feel torn when it comes to race, because people usually paint a broad brush. And it's not so.

:uhh: :uhh: ....but lets be honest the writing on Empire is HORRIBLE, and Tyler Perry is a Horrible writer as well... so its not really doing anything to help the cause in establishing credibility or a need in Hollywood for minority writers, specifically Black writers. However, both Lee Daniels and Tyler Perry are very successful, but it has nothing to do with the content or lack thereof, but plays into the narrative of where there is a demographical void in mainstream media, there lay opportunity. Opportunity to exploit self identifying imagery, and cultural reference, which history and statistics tell us, that these exploitative tactics, in most cases have proven to be very lucrative, regardless of quality of content. So what we see now is the Black Actor and its presence in mainstream media becoming more valuable and less of a liability, with or without contribution from black writers. So if there is no need... there is no opportunity.

Lee's personality is quite interesting.
I don't know how it's in the US, but I know at some art schools over here it gets more white every day. And it has to do with teachers who select students I guess, but also with promotion of the education at the right places.
Of course things have to change in the industry. If this is the average picture of graduated screenwriting/film academy students I don't know what will happen. Again I don't live in the US, I don't know numbers..if this isn't the case in US that's great.

I see your point. But blacks can go to acting school all they want. Doesn't mean roles will be opening up any quicker. So whether or not they're in school has so little to do with the bigger problem, over here at least.

Ok yeah that's true. I just felt a bit sad when Lee made this 'why even bother' comment..people should be encouraged to keep trying and I thought giving young kids more chances and promo that would help a tiny bit. But I guess it doesn't even matter when everything is fucked up. You're right the girls from Hollywood divas are good examples, they're all fighting for that one role.
Everyone's fighting to be the Naomi/Tyra in fashion, but white girls have no problems getting a job. 'Nude color' in fashion is still white. And it's been like that for so long...(and thanks Afro for not giving me a Genesis treatment, I'm really trying to figure things out you know..most of the things I post about these type of problems are more thoughts than opinions. I just keep getting more and more surprised when I read these stories about racism in the US)

I know where you're coming from my love. It's nowhere near a harsh place.
I've spoken to many people overseas, even blacks, who are surprised at the amount of focus that is placed on race here in the states. It's no surprise when foreigners have a harder time actually grasping the grim reality across the pond.
Oh gosh these numbers http://variety.com/2015/data/news/hollywood-diversity-usc-study-1201557594/
And that's not to say that racism doesn't exist overseas, because it definitely is alive there as well. But here in the states we are immersed in the conversation and experiences.

the typical photographer/movie maker/politician/ceo is male and white.

I'm glad he spoke up
But I hate that every black show that's popular is "speaking" for Black ppl
Blacks are very diverse, I feel right now between him and Tyler, although popular, we're still limited to typecasted roles.
I mean, yea they're slaying, which is great. But if it's a Tyler or Lee affair, I can bet there will either be a slave mother working as a maid her whole life, or the "I can do bad by myself" girl, or some outlandish loud angry black woman. And the black men are either ex dealers or cheating.
I'd really like it to be diversified even more to show how truly diverse black ppl are. Gimme a Sci-Fi thriller, like Halle and Extant, but instead of sis having a old white husband, give her a black cast
ssssss
Their face when he used the word repulsive
You could see their inner-kkk rising
Black gorls on here, never assume a white wants you on their level or above. Just like slavery, you're cute until your smarter than
Lee perched and read tho
:helloimangie:
ssssssss
Lee really felt his PUSS
The old woman who wanted to go back and change her answer, Lee said nope
What kinda high school classroom interrogation :plzstop:

But you also have to start with education. How many black people get the chance to really become a good writer? Inspire young kids to go study..talent will get recognized
Plenty.
How many of them actually get recognised?
A few
I guess it's also a who knows who situation
yep. trust me, thats most of it.
It must be such a great feeling of accomplishment to have created a successful TV show.
I even see promo posters at bus and tramstops over here wow
Lee is right. It is repulsive
I appreciate what Tyler Perry & Lee daniels do for black actors by giving them work, but at the same time its very counterproductive because it puts these actors into that same box.. All of their storylines consists of black people struggling, black people plotting against each other (empire) or overusing stereotypes (madea). Black film needs to expand the genre in their films... More action or supernatual films would be great.
But lets keep it 100...how many blacks are going up for action and supernatural tv shows? The numbers are good for Empire because they tap into black culture.

How can you say that when there arent too many to chose from?
I think, if done the right way, a black version of true blood could deem very successful. Its just that hollywood turns down these ideas for more basic storylines

I just dont think Shaquanetta and Ray Ray are checking for an ethnic true blood. They want to see things they can relate to. Which is your Empire, Have and Have Nots etc.
I think Lee Daniels could have came with better points. U.S. has 13% blacks, you are not always gonna SQUEEZE them into everything. And obviously white ppl finna have mostly white ppl. Just like Tyler and Lee's fills give a full BLACK OWT mess.
Empire is NOT diverse, HTGAWM is diverse. Shonda is the true diversity queen.
I dont mind all black shows. We have been bombared with all white shows for decades.

I don't mind it either, but I would not call them "diverse".

We dont know until they really try though.. White Hollywood has a diverse catalogue of movies.. Black entertainment deserves the same diversity. We arent that closed minded that we have to keep making the same damn movies & shows over and over.

The TV thread on this board alone should prove that Black people will support a show about witches and vamps just as much as your regular baby mama drama, as long it's quality TV.

I feel you, but demographics are totally different outside of the board.
