Imagine casting a black woman as a role in a movie other than a single mother screwing a drug dealer.

The motion picture industry is a gigantic money laundering scheme. I went to grad school @ USC. My old roommate married & raised a family. One of his daughters graduated cum laude from the USC film school 5 years ago. She has never worked in the industry. All of the jobs are spread out across the US because of government subsidies. Georgia alone gives $5 billion to have movies made in Ga. Do you suppose the film company execs kick some of that money back in political contributions? I refuse to buy movie tickets because they took it out of me in taxes already.

David Cole has the big picture but it is behind a paywall now.

Also movie types don't stand out as geniuses

Does it take more than a pulse to get a high school diploma anymore?
