Above: Seriously, do black people even like swimming? I’ve never heard of it.

The new movie ‘Pride’ reminds us that black people are better than white people in sports. This time it’s swimming and like its predecessors (Bring it On, Cool Running, Glory Road, etc.) it reminds us of the struggle that black people have against racial inequality in America.

Above: Yay!

It’s weird that there are so many movies like this. I don’t claim to know what drives Hollywood to make these movies, but I’ll make my guess. I think there are definitely a lot of black people going to the movie theaters but not enough to warrant this continuous flow of films that revolve around this black versus white topic. White people must be buying tickets and watching these films.

Take Pride for instance - I don’t know what it’s about at all - but looking at the trailer I get the sense that it’s PG or PG-13 rated, a family film, and the underdog, the black swim team, will probably win in the end. Maybe white people are still subliminally guilty or cause Bernie Mac is funny with his funny way of speaking. Regardless, white people are going to these movies. Why? Maybe after watching the movie, the white family’s parents are thinking in their heads, “oh, what nice negroes, I’m glad they won out in the end cause it certainly was unfair back when there was slavery” (possibly not in those terms, OR possibly IN those terms).

FAMOUS ‘BLACK vs. WHITE’ FILMS

Bring It On - Cheerleading

Cool Runnings - Bobsledding

Glory Road - Basketball

Tiger Wood’s Career - Golf (It’s not even a movie, I know)

Star Wars - Lightsabering

You Got Served - Dancing

Whte Men Can’t Jump - Basketball again, I guess

Lets not even look at the whole black versus white thing for a second. Maybe white people go watch this movie because of the storyline, which I assume is that there’s a black swim team and they don’t do very well in the beginning but later, up against something racial they amp up their efforts and bam win something or other (THE ULTIMATE SUPREME GRAND SWIM CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS). Hey, I like underdog movies, I thought ALI or ROCKY were both pretty good.

Actually, maybe I’m wrong altogether. There are probably a lot of black people giving their money to Hollywood and I just don’t know about it cause I really don’t do any research regarding these blog entries. Otherwise how can you justify Queen Latifah’s career or movies like Friday, Next Friday, Friday After Next or the whole Barbershop series (how many were there? 2? 3?). Finally another possibility pops up in my head and it’s just that black culture is so popular and there are a lot of white people who like it and go watch it. Again though, I feel like black culture is so popular less so because of the content of black culture but ultimately because white people are just still feeling kind of guilty. Eh, who cares? Was this entry racist? It’s okay, I have black friends. eh… go fuck yourself.

by the way…
