@@razkable I believe that it is obvious Hollywood is racist. But why doesn't the uberwealthy black people like Jayz and Oprah start promoting black actors and entertainers more? They have billions and could buy entire movie studio companies and promote whoever they want. I think Eddie is 100% correct about black entertainers not being promoted enough by Hollywood. It would be great to see some black billionaires like JayZ and Oprah make a change in the way American entertainment promotes new talent.

+javon hawkins yeah it goes back to what dame dash and many others say tho. experience is a big part of it. the higher up u go the more insight u would have that a person who "is lower" (in rank that is) would have. us a viewers rarely get to see the truth, which is why i always respect eddie 4 telling the truth
Niggaz that grew up in the 90's knew it was time to Cut the TV off when Seinfeld, Cheers, & M*A*S*H* Came on! I'd rather watch Paid Programs until the news Came on.
He's so infectious to me, idk, he just reminds me of like one of my uncles or my dad. I get very giddy around older, black men like this. Like I feel as safe and familiar. #RandomThought
Its a fact people. 300 black actors and 50 white actors walk into a movie audition. They say they will only keep 30 actors. I guarantee you they will still pick more white actors than black actors I would say 25 white and maybe 5 black.
Hollywood was going bankrupt when Melvin Van Peebles came along with Sweet Sweets Baddass Song, that movie sparked off Blaxploitation as well as movie soundtracks. Hollywood made millions making Blaxploitation movies, then once it got out of the red, went right back to shading black folks..... If ya'll get a chance, check out Classified X which highlights racism in Hollywood.
I can watch Eddie be interviewed answering a bunch of random questions all day! One of the realest and relatable (very important Paul Mooney) black actor/comedians alive.
+CRAZY RICH BLACK KID WITH GUNS because it's something that needs to be talked about until it ends. That's like asking scientist why are they keep trying to find cures for diseases. Racism is a disease.
+Bethsaida Romelus Same with many black businesses that have been sold. As long as the top businesses are white-owned, if they see us excelling, they'll buy what we've built and created, unless we see less importance in money and more on leaving a legacy for our children, for our people. The purchase of Carol's daughter (beauty products) by L'oreal really bothered me. I know they went bankrupt but why? Why weren't we as black women supporting this business? It's one thing to encourage black people to create, but we need to encourage black people to support, help grow and sustain the businesses we create, and importantly trust that the business owners won't eventually sell it off to white folk. Now if they do, then as a people we should consider a boycott of that product/service or something. I don't know man. I don't have all the answers, Sway!
Think about the way the system is set up. Egypt, is by far the most amazing standard of civilization in human history. They are pretty much on par with the Greeks and the Romans. In fact, the Egyptian culture is perhaps the most influential in all of human history.... Now...think about all the black films that have came out in the last ten to twenty years. Why is it that Hollywood refuses to have a black characters like James Bond, or a black Spiderman, or any black heroic lead character? Yet we get films like, The Help, 12 Years of Slave, Precious, Yes they're very IMPORTANT films...but hear me out. They don't want a black man/woman with values, intelligence and charm. They don't want to present us a black leader. Furthermore, why is that the Aaliyah movie and the Whitney Houston movie (both iconic LEGENDARY black singers) gets a shitty low budget biopic on Lifetime, but yet N.W.A gets a full feature high budgeted film to be released in theaters nationwide? Much respect to N.W.A for coming out of nothing and making themselves millionaires , but lets be real, if NWA didn't exist, would the incarceration among black men in prison would still be as high?? No. One way to confine blacks is by corrupting their culture and taking away a "high standard of people" they aspire to. As you can see with Gods and Exodus AND the new White washed Egyptian film coming out next year, THE ELITES DO NOT WANT BLACKS CALLING THEMSELVES KINGS AND QUEENS.
Ice Cube, Dr Dre got the hook up with Universal and their studios that's why!!!! Dre, F Gary Grey, Cube was gone make sure that mf was gone be promoted. You have to remember Dre is linked with Interscope- which is linked up to Universal. Remember that!!!!!
+Breanna Ward for sure Dre had connections. the problem is not about the hookups. I work as a screenwriter , and let me tell you how it works. In order for a movie to made and to be featured across theaters, you need an executive or a studio to sign off a budget. For an example, Many fans were rooting for a biopic for Whitney Houston, after she passed. Dozens of scripts were sent to studios across Hollywood. The problem was, executives refused to sign off a budget. The reason why NWA were successful was they had big executives willing to invest in the movie. Remember If it can happen, it WILL happen. Whitney has such a large fan base, so any executive would see dollar signs when they have the opportunity to create her biopic. But to give such recognition to a black female with talent and grace goes against their agenda. If you watch the Whitney Houston movie, it shows about her relationship with Bobby, NOT her success, and Aaliyah, they ignored her success but focused on her scandals with R Kelly. Some will argue that its for entertainment but in Straight Out Compton, they made Dre look like the hero even though he abused his wife. that would make great character development for a movie! but no...its all about making the bad guy s hero's and the good guys flawed.
It's not about being a King or queen or pharaoh for that matter (although that was the case for some). It's about the fact that this society was created by people of color...the initial name of Egypt was Kemet which means land of blacks. So we have an influential country where these great contributions took place, but the citizens who made said contributions get no recognition....I think that's the point @Gio Garcia is making. Certain points of our history is discussed redundantly, yet this piece of history in which we were apart of is seldom touched upon.
Fun fact: Michael Jackson's music video to "Remember the time" is the only piece of film about egypt culture and history with ONLY black people in it ...
lmaoooo.Eddie is right but he is funny....there are no blk shows on CW and UPN is gone..Actually, we saved networks like VH1 ,We entertainment etc..Their ratings were shit until all those blk reality shows came out
Eddie Griffin drinking on that Blue Moon Beer! Great choice of beer! Eddie always keeping it 100! Where are the black shows at now??????? Power, Empire, Blackish???? These black shows today aren't even close to how they had the shows back in the 90's!
He absolutely right about that UPN and WB20 (Which was fused to make CW50) shit.. You a 90's kid you know exactly all the shit he talking about. Being up late when you had no Cable and all they aired was Seinfield, One Tree Hill, Angel, Buffie The Vampire Slayer, Charmed, 7th Heaven, Will & Grace, Friends, CHEERS and that Old school Cop show. They barely aired BLACK SHOWS (Jamie Foxx Show and the Steve Harvey Show maybe but those were for Sunday/Saturday nights) You had nothing else to watch and the Good shit would come on Wednesday or Thursday Nights... never in my Life was I so excited to see shit like Smallville or other White Shows....
I remember when it happened & we had everybody hates Chris, the game (before it got canceled and revived) girlfriends, all of us, etc. now we got vampire diaries which I like, but still & Jane the virgin.
Tayone Pender I actually liked Girlfriends and like Everybody Hates Chris is like the only thing on there now.... The only shows I even paid mind to had to been Supernatural, Smallville, and so on.. Even those were just white shows with barely black folks in it.. Its like those were shows you had to settle for instead.
Beautiful Clouds bruh I was there when Supernatural first aired back in 05. Those days you either had Cable or didn't have it and played video games hardcore. Its still a Good show but all the black people in that series die be it they're good or bad Smh. That's what kills me really. They on season 11 going into 12 soon.
For any old heads and 'Sanford & Son' fans (neither of which probably watch this channel).😄 'Kurt Taylor.' Remember the ex football player turned stand up comedian that bombed at the nightclub in that Sanford & Son episode. It was the episode with 'The Three Degrees.' Good episode. If u younguns dont know Sanford & Son, you're missing out. Str8 up classic sitcom.
Why are Friends and Seinfeld not called Jewish shows if the cast is primary Jewish but shows with primarily Black cast members are always called black shows?
It's always been like that... That's when when you see the dam commericals it's most all white people and the one black person.. The same with most tv shows mostly white people and maybe 1-2 black people in the show... The shit is sickening... Even BET ain't even the same no more that shit should be called WET now... We do need to come together as a community and get our own channels and build off that but black people hardly ever do business with each other and that's why we stay at the bottom now... We have that it's all about "ME" mentality or " I gotta get mines" because we've been groomed that way and habits are hard to break so until we can come together as a community you just going to continue to see this shit keep happening...
AND WHAT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHEN IS YOUR POINTING OUT RACISM AND CRIMINAL ACTIVITY WITHIN A COMPANY IS NOT SAYING EVERYONE THERE IS A CRIMINAL OR RACIST...ITS WHEN YOU STAY AND DO NOTHING TO FIX WHAT'S BROKEN WITHIN THAT BUSINESS/ COMPANY.. REMINDS ME OF THE POSTAL SHOOTING IN MILWAUKEE WISCONSIN,WHEN AN EMPLOYER WHAT EVER WAS GOING ON WAS HAVING SOME PROBLEMS AND FELT THEY WERE BEING IGNORED HE TOOK MATTERS INTO HIS OWN HANDS, IT HAPPENS IN MANY PLACES ... BECAUSE ITS THE MONEY MANY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT,NOT WHAT'S WRITTEN IN THE HANDBOOK ABOUT POLICIES,BUT THEY WANT OTHERS TO RESPECT THE POLICIES THAT MATTER TO THEM AND IT DON'T WORK LIKE THAT FOR SOME.
I've always liked Eddie,not only is he hilarious but he's smart too.I could care less what color he is he could be purple and he'd still have fans because he's good at what he does.Im half native American and his slapaho comment from a movie he did still cracks me up to this day.lol
Where is the full interview? He is so right about them building the new networks on their backs. I was so mad when Girlfriends, Moesha and the Parkers were discontinued. Once they sold UPN and made it the CW, all of my favorite shows were cut.
@ 2:00 "Eddie Griffen as JFK" i died at that part. this dude funny but he real as shit. hopefully when they release the full interview they dont be some lil fuck boys and try to cut it. lol hopefully they release it uncut, beginning to end.
He's Real af...such an underrated comedian
na he had his mainstream moments...now Patrice O'Neal was underrated af
rip
underrated? where the fuck you been
Underrated?? He one of the greatest of all time
+tyrone tervil interesting comment bro...Thanks
+Justin Jones That don't even make sense
He was right about UPN anf CW they were built on Black Sitcoms and when both networks took off they were sold and canceled the shows
UPN was only kept afloat by WWE SmackDown. It was an experiment and it failed.
Chauncey Moore yep
@Lamar Brown I remember seeing that shit. U was embarrassed for them bruthas 🤦🏿♂️
Do forget Fox and In Livin' Color, etc. Fox was built on Black shows, now look at the network.
Ya'll remember "Eve" & "Half & Half" ?

We need to do less complaining and use that energy to create our own networks.
***** Those Networks where never black owned except for maybe TVone .And BET was partly owned by whites.
+Bethsaida Romelus Same with many black businesses that have been sold. As long as the top businesses are white-owned, if they see us excelling, they'll buy what we've built and created, unless we see less importance in money and more on leaving a legacy for our children, for our people.
The purchase of Carol's daughter (beauty products) by L'oreal really bothered me. I know they went bankrupt but why? Why weren't we as black women supporting this business?
It's one thing to encourage black people to create, but we need to encourage black people to support, help grow and sustain the businesses we create, and importantly trust that the business owners won't eventually sell it off to white folk. Now if they do, then as a people we should consider a boycott of that product/service or something.
I don't know man. I don't have all the answers, Sway!
blackfirst 4eva not in another race of folk empire
blackfirst 4eva bet was totally black owned until, white folk bought it out in 2005.
