Let me give you a great exam. Halley berry. Do you think that academy award
Monster's Balls was a slam dunk in terms of White Supremacy programming. That's why she got the award.
There is a reason other black actresses like
Angela Basset turned it down. She read the script and said she was tired of
"seeing black woman shown as hookers and whores and she wasn't going to continue with that madness" Vanessa Williams and
Queen Latifah turned it down too.
Look at the film -We are expected to believe that a black female romantically got involved with a white male prison guard who participated in her husbands execution and that black woman threw herself at him and after she found out what he has done, she did nothing but smiled and ate ice cream with him and looked at the stars. That's just are not believable. Except perhaps in a white fantasy frame of reference.
The disgusting
“sex” scene was unnecessarily long. But two points of the movie were
1) The subtle stereotype that was being pushed that black people cannot handle their business and white people must swoop in and save us from ourselves.
2) The racist white man’s personal journey and racial
“redemption” was through interracial sex, since the poor black woman who had no choice but to do him or be homeless.
If the film were white-on-white you and most whites would hate it. Because then white people would see what a sick sleazebag Thornton was. But because it's a black woman, he is
“saving” her, not taking advantage of her. And she is being
“sensible” not utterly brainless. There is no way it would have won an Oscar.

was legitimate for monsters ball or an affirmative action win?
No doubt Hollywood’s Jewish male overseers will be making a film, any time soon, in which a German concentration camp guard responsible for flicking the switch in which 100s of Jews are exterminated, goes on to disguise his identity from a beautiful, grieving, Jewess
(whose family he’d killed) with whom he shares explicit sex scenes.
Don’t hold ya breath, folks!
We had a scruffy average looking Billy Bob Thornton having a hot, no-holds barred steamy sex scene with the then stunning Halle Berry
The very same scene with the races reversed, outside of downright pornography, would simply be unheard of. It would be the equivalent of Lil Wayne or Rick Ross getting it on with Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox on screen.
There is a reason why you don't get black playboys in Hollywood. There is a reason why all the top black male actors in Hollywood are married (The Rock, Idris, Denzel, Will Smith, Samuel L Jackson)
Black playboys in Hollywood are not allowed. You're not gonna see a black Leonardo Di-Caprio or a black Charlie Sheen's, that is black bachelors running around banging different women in Hollywood.
Hollywood hasn’t made a box office film yet in which a major male Black actor got involved in explicit love/sex scenes with a major female white actor.
This should tell you something about the racial dynamics at play here
