True racism will never end

Start your own entertainment industry and use the right actors! Sounds harsh, but it is the only way to tell our narrative. Why do you allow others to tell your narrative the wrong way but sit back and bitch about it? We complain, every waking day, about how CNN can never get the facts right about Africa. But have we started telling the world the facts through our own news channels?
Think about it for a minute.

I agree RT is pushing the Russian Viewpoint while the BBC for the brits, the Germans have DW etc. Even the Chinese are in the game with CGTN while the only global African Media house that has some impact is the SABC. Tell your own story yourself…

Hollywood is in the business of selling movies, they hire the actors with the biggest star power, brand and talent…it doesn’t matter whether they are blue, yellow, green or black, it’s a question of “which actor will deliver a performance that will fill the movie theaters?” and make them dollars. Unfortunately a black face doesn’t sell in some of their biggest markets, Asia and Europe, if having black actors is bad for business, why will they have too many of them? That’s how capitalism works.
