What they really mean is traditional values. Somehow a movie that heaps contempt on them won't find much of a box office - whether its a black Jesus or not. What is it with liberals assaulting people's faith? It looks like Hollywood is loath to give up its Christophobia.

i think they are pushing it by calling it Hollywood, this is an independent film...that happens to be in LA

Not this crap again! Jesus was as described in the Bible as nothing extraordinary to look at meaning he was like everyone else who lived in northern Galilee area, most likely olive skinned with a big nose and curly dark hair.

Surely the left has better things to waste their money on. Why don't they make Brokebutt Mountain Two or something.

Good point. Make's you wonder who's backing this. Apparently folks to whom money means nothing, since they have to know a film like this will be a box-offce dud.

As many have often observed here, if the left really wants to demonstrate what an "edgy" and "daring" bunch of risk takers unafraid to challenge an entrenched belief system they are, there's a topic waiting for them:

Islam.

It's much safer and easier to rail against the latest imaginary incarnation of McCarthyism, so I suppose we can expect them to take on this weighty topic at about the same time Satan starts tending goal for the Red Wings.
