Black Women in Hollywood

There is no way to hide the differences between the white women in Hollywood to the black women in Hollywood. They are asked to do different roles, also there are much less oppurunities for black women when looking for roles. I do not recall her name but one of the women from the video with Opera, she explains that there is a role for white women at 20 years old, 30, 40, and so on while all black women are put into the same group to look for roles. My brother is an actor in New York and I have learned from him that it is hard enough to make it as an actor in either theatrical or on television or movies. To already be two steps back when trying out for these roles makes it even harder to make a living off being an actor. This is not new for black actors as this coversation has been happening since the earliest days of Hollywood and there as only been a little improvment. "Black women are depicted as being angry, and bitchy, and fighting.... So can white women." Black actors in general are shown in the most steriotyocal light possible as shown as thugs, drug addicts or people living in poverty while the white actors are not always shown in the same light as they seem to have more diverse roles. There is no doubt that there is blatant racism in the film industry becasause a producer can look specifally for people he wants and he can say no or yes for any reason he wants. This can make it easy to exclude black actors in general even if they are as well suited for a position as a white person.
Black women have had to overcome racism for as long as they have had to live and this is something that needs to change for the better in order for us as a country to really unite. To give these women less roles and to blatantly show that they may not seem as qualified for a role when they clearly are is doing them a massive diservice when they work just as hard as white women looking for roles but they are looked over just based off of their color.
