How can one person hurt the “black film industry” What is the black film industry? Every single movie no matter the race of the people in the film are apart of the film industry.

Good point – Does Tyler Perry know how much he is hurting the Black film industry? I’m excited to see this movie, I love these actors. Black films should be judged on their own merit and not become stained by the ill-attempts at a movie by other film makers.

As of now, most studios (and critics) idea of diversity is casting a black actor to play a traditionally white character in a comic book movie. Hopefully, this is changing so that not only African-Americans, but plenty of other ethnicities have their experiences portrayed across all genres.
