Idiots!

from my understanding when France first gave/designed the Statue of Liberty for America it was a Black Woman. And Josphine Baker became a citizen of France b/c of all the racism here while they supported her all the way in France. This seems more political than racist to me.

@Rocci,you are correct it was misleading but I would have to disagree with you on the second statement. I lived in Belgium and France for 7 years when I was in the military. Whenever there was a a film with a black person in it everyone (black) would run out to see it.

to be honest i’m not surprised about france they are racist that’s a fact, spike lee movie "miracle at st anna" was banished as well cuz it was about black soldier in italy during the second wold war, they had a recent concours for miss black france and the media and s.o.s racism were doing a whole drama about it saying it was too much "community stuff" just for black but then in the Miss France concours u’ll never see a typical black girl being choosen or she’ll be mixed race or she’ll not even go through the 2nd round they always talk about diversity as a way to avoid community to have revendication that’s all..cuz that’s bullsh*t jackie chan is doing chinese movie all the time and they show it in france even if there’s no diversity in chinese couple…

Yup.

Good!!!

This is why France is having economic troubles and issues with their immigrant population. You can’t maintain the "white is right" theory forever because the majority of people on this planet are NON-WHITE! Heck, you’d be hard pressed to even find white people in the bible which they cling to so heavily.

To the Will Packers and Tyler Perry’s of the world I say to hell with trying to reach audiences abroad. If you can make good money over hear and do DVD releases overseas as opposed to theatrical releases then that’s fine because the goal is to share the stories, make some money and keep black actors working.

We all don’t have to be Steven Spielberg or Clint Eastwood or Tom Cruise. As long as black audiences are reached and you make more than what you put in then to hell with the white people!

I am ashamed and disgusted of being french. I left my country to go to the UK because I knew I wasn’t the "right colour" to be an actress there and actually live of it, but seeing that article makes me want to cry because I was right to do what I did.

finally something worth reading that doesnt involve lies….

The French are super particular about EVERY thing, so this is no surprise to me. To think that all movies will reflect the diversity of France with each and every story line is a bit Eutopic.

And all of the all-white movies out there with little diversity still get shown in French theaters.
