Depictions in Hollywood Shuffle

Much like the racial depictions shown in Spike Lee's film Bamboozled, Robert Townsend's film Hollywood Shuffle showed much of the same depictions. Townsend's film shows how black people are portrayed in Hollywood showing how they are supposed to be rappers, dancers, gangsters, pimps, athletes, etc...in Hollywood films. Lee's film showed how people react to black people's action whenever they are told to act stupid compared to just acting sophisticated.

Teenage Sex = Hip-Hop? No.

Hip-Hop shouldn't get all the blame for teenagers having sex early. It's the world that we live in. We may hear sexual lyrics and stuff and see sexual videos on T.V., but we also see sexual acts in movies everywhere. Why not question the movie writers? People need to just sit back about hip-hop causing everything and look at the world around them.

Video Game Depictions

Has anyone ever played Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas? If you have, you'll notice how the majority of the people are Black or Mexican and are portrayed as gangsters and thugs of some sort. They operate heavy artillery and kill at will. The white people are either the innocent people walking the streets of San Andreas or the head boss of a firm or mafia. The game is very violent and a lot of children play this game. Ya'll should check it out if you haven't already. This isn't new news.

Dog The Bounty Hunter's Comments

The Dog said some stuff the other day that almost ended his career. Like Don Imus, Dog crossed the line with using racial words. He was recorded saying racial things about his son's black girlfriend and said that if he stayed with her she would eventually ruin their career on T.V. Here is a link for more info on it.
