Hollywood Actors Fret That There's Now "Reverse Racism" Against Straight White Male Actors and Crew

Step one: The sowing Step two: The Reaping.

Note: Step one is much, much more fun than step two.

And we're in step two now.

Hollywood's identity crisis: Actors, writers and producers warn of 'reverse racism' in the film industry which has created a 'toxic' climate for anyone who is a white, middle-age man

By CAROLINE GRAHAM IN LOS ANGELES FOR THE MAIL ON SUNDAY

...

Shaken by #MeToo, paralysed by Covid-19, the $50 billion film industry is finally emerging from a four-month lockdown -- only to find a new and very different world, where tension is rising as surely as the thermometer.

For if the very public Black Lives Matter protests have polarised America, the silent fallout has now reached Hollywood.

A revolution is under way. White actors are being fired. Edicts from studio bosses make it clear that only minorities - racial and sexual - can be given jobs.

A new wave of what has been termed by some as anti-white prejudice is causing writers, directors and producers to fear they will never work again. One described the current atmosphere as 'more toxic than Chernobyl', with leading actors afraid to speak out amid concern they will be labelled racist.


...

speaking on condition of anonymity, the executive confirmed that the climate is now toxic for any 'white, middle-aged man in showbusiness'. Their careers, 'are pretty much over'.

They continued: 'We're only hiring people of colour, women or LGBT to write, star, produce, operate the cameras, work in craft services. If you are white, you can't speak out because you will instantly be branded 'racist' or condemned for 'white privilege'.

69 however, all the backstage people are union, and the only way they are going to get around hiring the white guys who have been in the union for years is to hire non-union people...

and that brings a whole bunch of issues with it: among other things, i'm fairly certain they can't get onto the lot of any major studio here in town w/o using union crews, as the lots themselves are unionized, and they won't take kindly to scabs coming in to use the facilities.

i think this article is more fluff than substance.

75 Clownfish TV has a video on this too. In that they mention that there is some movie being made touted as being like all young and black from the cast to the crew. Well they've had to bring in a middle aged white woman to oversee them to make sure it gets done due to the inexperience. The thing is that she'll get paid but she will get no film credit for her role. This is also something they've covered with the awful She-Ra Netflix reboot that they had to bring in a man with experience to oversee all the tumblrinas so the show actually would get made.

76 I see a huge business opportunity for a bunch of truly independent filmmakers to scoop up the pent up demand of content that tells entertaining stories that aren't about preaching a leftist ideology - I'm sure they are out there and could produce some decent content with modest budgets. Now we just need to find a distribution channel.

77 I have a cousin who works for a major H'wood talent agency, representing many famous actors and writers. Born and raised in San Fran by hippie parents, UCLA-educated, always been a lifelong liberal.

She's scared to death just as the article says. One wrong word, one wrong Tweet, one wrong anything, and your career is over in a flash. She's worked her way up the ladder for years and now she wants out. She's now become a Tucker Carlson-watching, red-pilled Trumper because of the pervasive Woke Culture in H'wood, and is just petrified that she's going to be found out eventually.

I told her she should come out here to Colorado and chill for a while, maybe look for a job here. I'd be glad to host her.

82 The product out of Hollywood has been terrible for decades now anyway. Every few years they put out somethign that's up to the level of entertainment, freshness, cleverness, and fun that they used to do several times a season for decades in a row.

You can literally name the one or two movies a year that are actually not crap that have come out in the last twenty years. You used to get like ten amazing films a year and ten more fun if cheesy films. Now its one or two. You get 40 woke pieces of crap, lousy remakes, soulless action films and one King's Speech.

103 77 I have a cousin who works for a major H'wood talent agency, representing many famous actors and writers. Born and raised in San Fran by hippie parents, UCLA-educated, always been a lifelong liberal.

She's scared to death just as the article says. One wrong word, one wrong Tweet, one wrong anything, and your career is over in a flash. She's worked her way up the ladder for years and now she wants out. She's now become a Tucker Carlson-watching, red-pilled Trumper because of the pervasive Woke Culture in H'wood, and is just petrified that she's going to be found out eventually.

I told her she should come out here to Colorado and chill for a while, maybe look for a job here. I'd be glad to host her.

147 I somehow fell into a conversation with a young filmmaker and his actress girlfriend while out for a walk yesterday. They've both been out of work at their real jobs since the start of lockdowns, and both their places of emplyment did not reopen when lockdowns were lifted. I felt just awful for them, these are 2 hard-working ambitious kids who were working hard at day jobs and still persuing their dreams.

But anyway, they are making a western down in New Mexico right now. No masks worn by cast or crew, I asked. They were Free Facers and not social distancing, so I wasn't surprised.

I got his name and will have to check out the flick when it's done. The lead actress was quite attractive in an offbeat sort of way, and they seemed to really know what they're doing. The guy said it's his third film, and with the current situation, with a void in new releases, he's hoping to get it distributed.

It is wholly "black supremacy", a tribal/gangster hate the nullifies all the greatness of the WASPy founders, who came up with the All Men Created Equal style constitution.

178 If H'wood were to make The Man From U.N.C.L.E. today:

1) It couldn't be called that. "Uncle Tom," you know. And "Man" is not diverse enough.

2) Black senior Enforcement agent -- Napoleon Solo, but black

3) Moslem/gay partner for the senior agent; no blond Russian guy

4) The boss would have to be a woman

5) Villain could be an old white guy, but he would be drawn as *really* lording it over his minority henchmen, and they would enthusiastically defect and join the heroes to defeat the Big Guy

6) Threats from Thrush * would all involve some way to accelerate climate change and kill us all

* Thrush would have to be renamed. It's an unpleasant disease, and also a brand name of a macho type of auto muffler system, thus a nod to White Supremacy and toxic masculinity.

In other words: terrible.

But they've spent the past 15 years or more, dumping on that past, tossing it aside for nonsense that no longer resembles the game I love.

I'm looking forward to minor and/or independent leagues forming that will play the game the way it's supposed to be played. Which I hope includes teams that are in no way affiliated with MLB.

266 Didn't some comedian or commentator talk about how Home Simpson, somehow, became the archetype for all white TV dads? He was initially made as an absurd character, and has been normalized.

It started with Al Bundy in Married With Children. Which was a brilliant twist on the usual sitcom nuclear family thing. It was hilarous because it turned everything around. Mom and dad barely got along, kids were worthless and idiotic, dad was a loser. But that was only funny and fresh once or twice -- like with Homer, again.

When EVERY dad is portrayed that way, now its not fresh or funny or interesting any longer, its just insulting and caustic.

296 That seems the formula for every new Hollywood show. The first thing they seem to do after getting a script or story idea is figure out how to pigeonhole in all the racial and sexual diversity into it. Take the HBO rehash of Perry Mason. They didn't make the main character black or gay, so they made the investigator that worked with him black (which could then be parlayed into all sorts of racism storylines and use of casual racial slurs in the script) and they made his female secretary a lesbian (which comes off as "super brave" in a story set in the 1930's).

The films I've seen Denzel in have usually impressed me with good story values: Fallen with John Goodman was authentically creepy, and Deja Vu, a good time travel story set partly in Noo Awlins.

The show was plagued by an early retoooling, leading to cast-changes, then a network change and more cast-changes. Seasons 1-3 are the solidest.

Excellent show, with dialog from Tim's character saying positive things about Trump and small government, and negative about Obama and Democrats in general.

When Kyle returned from his final tour of duty, he was dismayed by the latest bout of flag-burning, so he spent the next two years researching and developing a first-of-its kind flag tough enough to withstand protesters' attempts to burn it.

On Flag Day 2020, June 14, a veteran-owned company founded by Kyle, Firebrand Flags, introduced its 100% fire-retardant flag. Made from kevlar and nomex, the same fabrics worn by servicemembers and first responders, the flag will not burn

funny - I wonder if De Blasio's personal police assistant called that in. I can see why Garland Police had to drive out, they would have caught hell if they blew it off, but they were probably pretty embarrassed when they talked to the guy.

People on the net and on text love to get themselves worked up about "threats", but the truth is it's not a threat if it's not credible or reasonable. For instance, it is not "credible" or "reasonable" to think that someone in Garland, Texas, is going to drive to NYC to punch the Mayor in the nose, even if he says he wants to . That is nonsense, not a "threat".

There's nothing police roll their eyes at more than being told they gotta go out and referee two clowns from different cities who are having an argument on Facebook.

I am reasonably sure that the only reason Hollywood did the First Narnia Book With The Excessively Long Name is that they though it would fail and crater like that daffy Satanist fantasy story did, but it made money.

however, all the backstage people are union, and the only way they are
going to get around hiring the white guys who have been in the union for
years is to hire non-union people...



This is correct. My guess is that the entertainment unions throughout the US are 95% white, 98% male.


That being said, there is a simple solution. Film everything in a place that is not woke. Like... China. Or Iran.

She wore out her welcome in the industry a year back or so. She pissed off most of her audience and entertainment media with all her woke posing and then defending her friend from #MeToo charges, she split from her boyfriend who said he would propose when SSM became legal, and her creative partner for all her projects dumped her, so that meant her newsletter and other projects collapsed.

Apparently she's got some new podcast, so she has a few backers left. UGH

436 Hollywood has been mostly dead to me for a long time. In the last twenty years I have been to the theater exactly 3 times for the LOTR films. I have 3 DVDs for movies made in that time: John Carter of Mars and and the Sherlock Holmes movies made by Robert Downey jr. The superhero movies leave me cold.

Most of my DVDs are for older movies and some TV shows. There have been some wonderful TV series over the years: Have Gun Will Travel, Leverage, Nero Wolfe (Timothy Hutton version), Longmire, Evening Shade, and the Signed, Sealed, Delivered series on Hallmark and a very few others.

It's a good thing I've got plenty of books and music CDs for entertainment because Hollywood and 99 percent of TV is long in my past.

445 Hollywood's natural tendencies towards movies pretty much remind me of where games are going. I remember when a gf in college got me to watch American Beauty. We watched it and she said 'It's wonderful.' Meanwhile, I am sitting there horrified. It was a wasteland of empty, vacuous, selfish people all wallowing in their own misery. And then it is vomited forth on the screen.

Later another girl tried to get me to watch Requiem for a Dream, and I was like 'nope'. She came with 'Jennifer Connely's Boobs!' and I countered with 'Inventing the Abbott's'- without the drug addiction and general human misery. What was strange about this one was she was really invested it getting me to see it, and I was having none of it.

Last of Us 2 strikes me the same way. It is not the wokeness- it is the nihilistic misery.

Movies or games are supposed to be an escape from all the misery. They are supposed to be this thing called 'fun and engaging.' This is why the Marvel movies have done so well up to this point. It is why video games made such major strides in story telling and popularity as a story telling vehicle.

2) Black senior Enforcement agent -- Napoleon Solo, but black



3) Moslem/gay partner for the senior agent; no blond Russian guy



4) The boss would have to be a woman



5) Villain could be an old white guy, but he would be drawn as
*really* lording it over his minority henchmen, and they would
enthusiastically defect and join the heroes to defeat the Big Guy



6) Threats from Thrush * would all involve some way to accelerate climate change and kill us all



* Thrush would have to be renamed. It's an unpleasant disease, and
also a brand name of a macho type of auto muffler system, thus a nod to
White Supremacy and toxic masculinity.

I've mentioned that in the past and have been politely reminded that it's HIS SHTICK, so STFU.

His latest vid posted by Ace informs you that he was once making FAT STACKS of cash, but walked away when they wanted him to go woke.

Yeah, definitely his shtick, he's been wearing that thing since forever, or at least 10 years. But it's like these kids that wear hoodies all the freaking time. Hoodies and shorts. 98 degrees? Hoodie and shorts. 17 degrees? Hoodie and shorts.

He's going to have to change at some point I'd imagine - he's going to look kind of silly at 55 wearing a beanie. Maybe by then he'll be able to afford plugs.

I took it that God was protecting the Word, and used this man by
giving him the ability to do so despite his blindness. Biblically it
fits: God almost always used the weakest, to greater show His glory.

Denzel is always great. Chris Pratt was great.
The rest of the movie was horrible, just horrible. Classic Hollywood re-imagining drek.

From the 'PTSD' sniper and his asian boyfriend to the ending voiceover 'they were truly the Magnificent Seven'....gag.

I mean, if you liked it, fine and good. It made my skin crawl.

I have to disagree. The 2015 MfU movie was a delight; Guy Ritchie really captured the spirit of the original show, the flavor, and delivered a wonderful period-piece spy adventure. And I say that as a BIG fan of the original.

499 445 Hollywood's natural tendencies towards movies pretty much remind me of where games are going. I remember when a gf in college got me to watch American Beauty. We watched it and she said 'It's wonderful.' Meanwhile, I am sitting there horrified. It was a wasteland of empty, vacuous, selfish people all wallowing in their own misery. And then it is vomited forth on the screen."

I remember being told "American Beauty is so great!!!" so I saw it, and thought "what a giant load of crap that was!!!" That's about when I finally quit going to movies where "everyone says they're great!!!" Nope, everyone lies.

One consolation - notice how NOBODY talks about "American Beauty" anymore, nobody replays it, it's completely forgotten? I think that's going to end up happening with almost everything made in the last 20 years, they are all just brief marketing gimmicks to skim money off bored people, and little else.

Yeah I don't get it. It distracts me from the product they're selling to trying to figure out who the hell these people are. Is it a foster home? Kidnapping victims? Alien zoo?

The best are the white guy/black woman commercials. Some are believable, but others are hilarious.

The one with the TJ Miller lookalike as a passenger (of course) in his wife's car, and she's a HUGE black woman who sounds like she's auditioning for Jerry Springer. Of course she crashes the car. TJ Miller was terrified to speak.

I laughed my ass off. All I could think of was their wedding, the guests, and the reception.

I don't remember the product.

GOOD JOB, MAD MEN!

504 Not much now can compare with going to see Ghostbusters, The Terminator, or Back to the Future when they were brand new, and walking out of the theatre thinking about what you just saw and discussing it with your friends.

No. There are some, a few of the Marvel films (Cap 2, Avengers) but not much at all. And that is difficult for me to pin down, exactly. I know that the need to dumb down the dialog so that its easy to translate into Cantonese is a major issue. I know that directors now are much less in charge of the final product than they used to be, when entire departments are handling things like CGI and lighting that they have zero power over. I watched a great bio doc on Ray Harryhousen that told how he'd basically make his movies almost entirely on his own. He'd write and direct and animate them with almost no help at all. Now its 1 guy doing eyelids and 300 of his coworkers animating Spider Man swinging on a web for 10 seconds.

I know that there are topics and themes that they are either afraid of or unwilling to deal with.

And I know that modern writers and film makers do not understand good or evil, heroism or villainy at any level.

Somehow that and other factors all seem to combine into making tepid meh forgettable junk.

And now for the first time, because of a heavy rain season, it is full. FULL.

514 I've been hearing rumors about this for a while, but I'm appalled to actually see it in print. As a white, middle-aged male actor in show business, I might get fewer jobs because of this. Maybe no jobs. I'm just a working stiff, I don't have any producing power or box office pull. I can understand the schadenfreude about clueless "Hollywood actors", but there are actually more conservative folks in the entertainment industry than you might think. Even a fair number of Morons. So, crow about it if you want, but I'm not laughing.
