Wow, what a reach.

[mvpel]

I can't tell you how many times In my own neighborhood stores, I've been called racial epithets, like "bony-assed White bitch," for no reason whatsoever other than my skin tone.

Aside from, of course, her bony ass.

[gaijin]

it's the same with a lot of action movies --imagine scenes in which some high degree of cunning is called for, say hacking a computer or formulating a new DNA sequence:

MOST of the time if there's a black character, HE (sometimes she) will come up with the brilliant, day-saving solution, dazzling white (and asian) on-lookers; they're grateful, awestruck, and utterly non-comprehending of the trick involved.

I thought the asian characters were streretyoped as the techincal nerds?

[smokingfrog]

The worst fear of many black women in America is that white women are stealing their men.

Wow! Who knew?

[not2worry]

Personally, I got bigger items on my Agenda to worry about some Hollywood flick.

Get over your self-imposed wedgie....ppppplllllzzz

[gaijin]

You know how this movie is giveaway fiction? The black couple is MARRIED.

Credulity has a LIMIT, you know?

Just keeping it real...!

I never quite understood why Ali Larter plays such skanky roles.

“I can’t tell you how many times In my own neighborhood stores, I’ve been called racial epithets, like “bony-assed White bitch,” for no reason whatsoever other than my skin tone.”

...and it was probably by her own black sisters and bros..frickin’ liar

[trisham]

Racism is ugly, regardless of the source.

[cubreporter]

I hope Ali Larter doesn’t continue in these type casted rolls. She has a lot of talent. She is beautiful and know she has a lot more to offer. Wish she would choose a really good story with real substance to it.

[lewisglad]

It was #1 at the box office this weekend.

[dfwgator]

I think I liked this movie better back when it was called, “Jungle Fever.”

[Rumplemeyer]

This must be a real stinker, look for it on cable in a month.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Nope.

I attended a summer school semester at Prairie View A&M (black school north of Houston TX) during the year when the “blackplotation” movies like Shaft etc came out.

Like an Indian attending a 1950’s cowboy & Indian weatern. I was the target.

[cubreporter]

That bothers me too. I don’t want to see her go down the same path as so many have in hollywood. She has more talent than that.
