Yea call it "hiphop" as we do to make ourselves feel better, but the truth is, it was started by black people, specifically the black male. The black female has always gone underappreciated and flew over the radar in hollywood for the most part. Only as of late with women such as Beyonce and Halle Barry which both still look very mixed - since they are of mixed race. Full black women are rarely seen portrayed as beautiful or something to admire.

that was true in the early 90's but no more...i don't think black people started wearing Wayfarer and tight jeans homie...and you should get a flight to Paris, i think you would love it...but i have the weird feeling that you don't travel that much...

[pic] Come on now, you can't post this. People got to be able to say how racist France is, and how they hate all black people. They're banning it because black people are so much better than everyone else, they're the greatest race of all time!

lol.. all i'm saying is American's have used movies as one of their main and biggest exports since ww2, and America has influenced the world by doing this. It's a proven fact. I aint saying i'm correct and that France banned the movie because of this, but i'm just saying that if they were to ban it because of the heavy prescence of black roles and an interracial role between white male and black women, they could be justified in doing so, although its obviously not politically correct by European Liberal standards, but France takes a much different stance on things in comparison to some of their free minded European neighbours. Who are we as American's to say " YOU MUST PLAY ALL OF OUR MOVIES AND LET OUR CULTURE INFLUENCE YOU"

Nice generalization. I'm a white American and racism will ALWAYS exist as long as there are different races. That's just common sense. Any other white American who thinks racism doesn't exist is !!ing retarded.
