What About Our Daughters - Um So Why Am I Supposed to go See "Red Tails"? Are There Any Black Women in this Movie?
I STILL haven’t seen The Help and have no desire to see it. So the next movie Black folks just HAVE to see or they will NEVER make another Black movie EVER again is Red Tails. Red Tails is apparently being bank rolled by George Lucas to the tune of 68 million dollars give or take a million. It features an array of Black actors.
I haven’t seen one freeze frame of a Black woman in any previews. If they are in the movie, its is a highly kept secret. The only woman that is mentioned as semi-main character is Sofia… andshe’s Portuguese.
I’ve asked the @Redtailsmovie Twitter account repeatedly with a simple question “Are there any Black women in this movie?” Apparently not.
Anywhoo, just when I was feeling some kinda way about there being no Black actresses being featured in the movie, they release a super long trailer which has caused the $7 I might have spent on matinee firmly back into my wallet.
There are Black women that are going to boycott Red Tails because there are no Black women in it? Seriously? I wonder if they boycott films and television shows that have Black women, but no Black men. What the hell is going on with people?
