When it's an individual expressing an extreme political view, well we get those on a daily basis. It is a dangerous idea that people from the historically oppressor race can't enter into discourse in sympathy and solidarity with the historically oppressed race, including through artistic expression. That sort of exclusion would tend to perpetuate racial separation and isolation. Hollywood has profited a great deal from the misery and oppression caused by slavery and post slavery segregation and legalised racism. The beneficiaries of those profits have not all been African Americans, in fact most of the financial beneficiaries have probably been white people - studio execs and shareholders. But if those white people hadn't been financial beneficiaries would those stories have been told and got exposure to a wide audience? |
So if the beneficiaries of the sufferings of slavery and segregation inflicted on blacks were other blacks, that would make it okay?
