the media are praising chris rock because he gave jim crow hollywood a pass. he got them to laugh at those who are protesting their lack of diversity.he ignorantly mentioned that this is the first protest by blacks against hollywood in 88 years, when blacks have been protesting against the stereotypes against blacks since at least 1912.he should read marcus garvey's condemnation of the kind of roles assigned to paul robeson by hollywood.they even had the great abbey lincoln play a maid.he should read our anthology,black hollywood unchained.
