You can only shrug it off so much until you get PISSED. I see so many white actresses getting jobs over black ones who are much better.

Love the Obama reference. Feel that way even in my "lay" field, but you acknowledge the inkling and then keep going. I got here looking at comments on imdb. Love your vibe. Keep auditioning, sewing, hiking, and posting. <br /><br />btw, I saw Malinda's wedding shower on TV One and she seems to have a good group of women friends in the business. The fact that many of them cried when just talking about her and their wish for her happiness was insightful. I agree that it is lovely to see.Sara Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04764772817019894700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955373216870527513.post-70624971944267108572010-04-11T08:02:58.009-07:002010-04-11T08:02:58.009-07:00THANKS Queen!

So for us it's like "oh she must just not be auditioning because, well, why else wouldn't she be on the screen more?"<br /><br />Plus it's like, you know, how do you make money if you're not on screen?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955373216870527513.post-70459093454547377982010-04-08T17:46:48.407-07:002010-04-08T17:46:48.407-07:00I'm glad you are talking about the audition pr...I'm glad you are talking about the audition process, it seems brutal at times. So do you have any opinions on why casting agents/producers use rappers in movies. Not stating the obvious which is "Money" but as an example, there is a film coming out with Queen Latifah & Common...WTF.<br /><br />You cant tell me there were no REAL BLACK ACTORS that auditioned for those roles but somehow Common gets a leading male role...what's up with that? Does it really boil down to the Money ?, and if so why is this just the trend for Black Actors ? I know there are a few white pop stars that do a little acting on the side but if you look at the majority of the roles in films they are going to rappers...<br /><br />I understand that some producers want to use a "Known Face" but again, this is only for Black Folks. I see tons of Unknown White faces in films everyday.<br /><br />Did you see "Whip It" ? I guess EVE was the only option.<br /><br />This has to annoy you, and why aren't actors saying or doing anything about this ?<br /><br />I really would like to get your insight.SinnerBlackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958129324491141494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955373216870527513.post-51019654626401984142010-04-08T12:09:56.391-07:002010-04-08T12:09:56.391-07:00I'm glad you are talking about the audition pr...I'm glad you are talking about the audition process, it seems brutal at times.

The process is just as important(and fascinating) as the end result.
