Are there more black/white couples there than in America?
I've noticed that in mainstream US films a Black man and a Black woman
seem to cancel each other out sexually. The only exception is if they
are married, for example Enemy of the State If its targeting Black
audiences then Black on Black sexually is okay.

I agree. You're right: if it's a Black film for a Black audience it's cool, but
otherwise the spouses aren't really affectionate or romantic. Still, I wish
Smith had pushed for a black woman for the film. Would he have lost some box
office? Sure, but then, he'd have done better than, say,
Again, I see this as because White writers just don't know how to address a
Black relationship. (Too stuppid to know that it's just like a White
relationship, nly with Black people...)

Black couples don't sell.

Well, Black couples do sell, just not as much as white couples. Still, when is
someone like a Will Smith going to take that step? If ever there were an actor
who could do a Black movie and get some white folk to see it, it would be
him.

I disagree. In Independence day his wife to be was a strong black
woman and there was certainly no sparks of passion lost between the
two of them. Perhaps that sort of relationship doesn't happen as much
as people may like, but its there. Independence Day was certainly not
a made for black
I wasn't talking about a throwaway action pic. Smith has had a Black wife
before, in films like Enemy of the State, but the focus there isn't a love
story, but action. I'm talking about romantic comedies like Hitch where the
goal is love between a man and woman--not fending off invading
Isn't that kinda what Ali was? I admit its a historical biography, but its
about a hero in the black community that everyone knew of no mater what
their color.

I'm not understanding the first two sentences. What is it you disagree with?
You're thinking of the movie Out of Time, and Denzel Washington was having an
affair with Sanaa Lathan, but his real love in the film was the lady they love
to put with Black men nowadays: Eva Mendes.

Mendez is an example of how, because the white guys in hollywood are afraid of
creating black man/black woman love stories as black films, and black
man/white woman roles are still verboten, they get Latinas or mixed-race women
as compromises. And thus, back to my complaint about Hitch: she was

Well I personally think its said that a strong intelligent black woman is
being judge as bad because of her profession. Stripper is not the same as
hooker. I have known many stripper that were good women I happily called
friends. Yes it cause trouble because he was in a government job, but in the
Not dissing the profession, just don't see it as all that romantic, but to each

couple we can think of in mainstream movies. That's not progress...

I have a question about black man/white woman relationships as portrayed in
British media. From a completely non-scientific and admittedly small sampling,
it seems to me that the Brits actually show more such couples than we do in
America. Even in our supposedly colorblind times, look hard and
