On a somewhat related note, I sure hope that SNL recognizes the comic value in doing a skit that parodies the exchange that Bill Nye The Science Guy had with with the idiot on CNN a few days ago..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObU7awpJctQ (‘The Science Guy’ doesn’t correct the CNN host when she suggests that an asteroid approaching earth is the result of glowbull warming.)

Stupid CNN host: So Bill, there’s a meteor heading towards the earth. Is this related to global warming or something different? Bill Nye: IT’S ALL SCIENCE! And, by the way, meteor and meteorology come from the same root, so they are related.

You are exactly correct. From their perspective, if a black person is President in a movie, it is only when that role isn’t leading.

They play the boss when that role isn’t leading either (The Office).

They can play a leading man dating a white woman ... but only when they are teaching that woman to dance.

I can see their side as well... but you can’t have it both ways.

You can’t say that more roles is racist and less roles is also racist as there are no non-racist outcomes possible.
