Why do black movies always seem to portray the majority of blacks as all living in ghettos or being pimps? On the other hand, whites all live in Beverly Hills and have office jobs.

Most “black” films are made by black directors, usually using scripts by black writers. They are attempting, I think, to speak to what they see as the “black experience”. As for all whites living in Beverly Hills… These are some Oscar nominees from recent years. I didn’t see many wealthy whites in any of them. No Country for Old Men Gone Baby Gone The Departed Little Miss Sunshine Brokeback Mountain North Country Walk the Line History of Violence Transamerica Million Dollar Baby Mystic River Cold Mountain Chicago You get the point… As they say, in American most rich people are white, but most white people are NOT rich.
