Relax, just pull up your big girl pants and take the joke. :)

What film demographic genre-wise do black people fit into?

I didn't mean you, of course; it was the other one, I disagreed with her and wham! she went all cold and weird, said strange things and displayed a cryptic personality. Lasted about a week like that, was real creepy. Haven't disagreed since! Not worth it. Nope, not worth it.

Any crappy movie with a shitty rapper in it. That or something to do with cars. But you can believe if the soundtrack consists of mainly rap, or the movie has anything to do with dancing, thats the kind of film. Though most people these days seem to like those movies better than any actual good movie. At least in my area. Like people around my area all hated Pan's Labyrinth, but loved Step-Up 2: The Street. WHAT THE FUCK?!


By the way if that statement sounded racist, i'm not racist, thats just how I sees it, and I calls em as i sees em.

Well it gets complicated for that type of question because some blacks get offended when asked that question cuz they don't want to be within a "Stereotype" but fail to realize lots of groups are and either way you look at, stereotypes start from true patterns we know about people then turn over time into generalizations about people.


Anyway I would say

1. Comedy (Not so much romance comedy or comedy drama--more like actual shows like Kings of Commedy, Queens of Commedy, Chris Rock Live, BET's One Mic Stand, etc)

2. Movie Comedy (Scary Movie, Soul Plane, etc the typical "comedic/ghetto" stereotype of black stuff

3. Some Profound drama that's historic or relevant to the "comtemporary black community" (Malcolm X (Denzel Washington, SPike Lee, etc), Roots, Selma, Lord Selma, Gangster movies(ATL, Boys in DA Hood, Meance II Society, Poetic Justice, 8 MILE, etc

4. Some though are into to the mindblowing Oscar deserving and winnning things such as Titanic, Monster's Ball, etc

5. ANY TYLER PERRY MOVIE OR STAGE PLAY WHATSOEVER. Just about every black person has seen, heard about, or joked around about Tyler Perry's infamous character : Madea.

6. Urban stuff: dance movies (Step up, Save the LAst Dance, You Got served, Honey, etc

8. Action: Bad Boys, Never 2 Big, etc

Um, I think that gives it justice. Although I might be excluding a few things, I do have a headache by the way.

Hold up. Don't get me wrong. I do view my self as a young aspiring, female black intellecual who tries her hardest to be as versatile as she can be (hence me joining hdc), but I do love the step up series and those "urban dance movies"--and no not because of the soundtrack--because of the plot ; the soundtrack and the fact that that was filmed in my hometown both times and parts of my high school was just a bonus.

And no biggie on the no attempt at being racist. It's all good. I see your point, but disagree with the delivery.

And by the way, it would be nice if you didn't refer to them as "crappy" or "shitty" rappers--that's a little more than just "dissing." Perhaps something like you've heard other artists with more intriguing and well developed lyrical ability rather than rappers are shitty. Because if anyone were to say that about one of your fav movies instead of explaining what you mean by that you might not be pissed but a little offended.

For future reference by the way. :)
