Paul Mooney - Black Hollywood (1984) | All Scenes

psychiatrist 24-hour free call Why can we call you at any time? Check thank God you're home. We heard he was in jail. My husband is hitting me. What can I do by clicking the gun? Greeting. I am a secretary. My boss wants to sleep with me, what can I do? Give up clicking on money. I just wanted to know what a he's obsessed with that word, he's obsessed, God, stop it, they made enough money, that's why we felt that way. betrayed because you would think that if something made money then they would want to put some more money into it and see it continue, but it didn't work out that way, it was at a time in Hollywood history when film exposure was low.

White people love to go to the movies, they got tired of seeing that they preferred to watch television, there were more inventions on television, so the film industry, the film market began to fall because people did not go, so they turned to that secondary market and a Once the secondary market gave Hollywood some money they took back their victory, so to speak, then they started to establish the status quo there, whatever that is, then they started to go back to the position of "OK, we have some money, "We don't have it now." We need

black

people, we don't need minorities, we don't need women, we don't need any of that, let's do our thing, white fantasy movies.

I love fantasy. I like it. I love Chariots of Fire. I love it. movie why people run on the track I laugh for two weeks I love that fantasy, oh come on, another fantasy, I have so much body heat why was he fucking all night I love the fantasy no, I saw Annie, the little white orphan , I loved it, I said, look, someone killed this just before doing it tomorrow no Annie I'll kill you tonight there won't be a tomorrow I loved what that was I loved what the boxer Rocky was I loved that one two and three I love the fantasy why don't people hit big

black

savage don't they do that hoping to do it Rocky Ford seriously he's a swimmer he swims I'm here in England and the black man in the canoe then I solve the fantasy and he can only ET, I could only him move to white people you would fall in love with a long neck big green eyes ugly green little bastard from space drag him home let him sleep with your children let him eat the food he didn't try on all the clothes a little monster let him drink everything, let him call home, beg him to live with it and you can't live next door for five minutes, that's sick and you know everything, come on, leave it, it's sick.

Hollywood, I think is racist. I have always done it. I felt like I mean everything, like I'm part of this. I just think it was from the beginning with Birth of a Nation, which they say is an art and the greatest movie ever made and I find it insulting in the races and they gave it to Lillian. Gish and I know America loves an award. Oh, rope or white lady, an award and I think he should apologize for being that movie because I don't know if you've seen it, but it's a very racist movie, they should burn it.

I lost part of it but they should find the other part and burn it all. They say that's when the best movies of all time get delayed because when I look at the screen I couldn't really identify what Rhett Butler was. I was looking at Big Jim. You know, running after the runaway carriage, saying, come in this car, I'd get in and you know why people always had to have their own identities and you know, as they were talking, I was, oh my God, don't you realize? realize this movie has the biggest stereotypes of any movie and you know it's very, very bad, it seems like it shouldn't have to be like that He was this standard bearer for black people in America as our movie actor and it just positioned him there. and I stayed there I gave a speech but I'm not going to attend when I started in your business on my first job I was in concert with another black man and he was the guy that signed on that lot, right, yeah, real unit, yeah That's the only thing that scares us Weiu is the unity among black people, they don't want to keep anything in common because we like what the favorite dance step is, we can spread it quickly, we all dance the same, it has variations in all states and everything. he says.

And if we ever communicate like we do when we dance, it will be a problem in America when you start looking at the new technologies that give Hollywood a run for its money, like MTV music tapes, you know then you will have. to begin to understand. what's going on the kids who buy those tapes are black and white yellow green red I mean the edges who buy the tapes Michael Jackson didn't happen because he was just an alien from another country you have talent you sure are black and all those other things that Come into play Michael Jackson is selling in South Africa.

I mean, you know who buys records in South Africa and black people don't have the kind of money to make them a big seller, so something will happen, like I said, Richard Pryor is. one of the biggest box office draws guaranteed if you get Richard in a movie you're guaranteed to make money it's going to happen it's going to happen the first Eddie Murphy movie didn't become an Eddie Murphy movie from the beginning, he was a deputy didn't They used it to raise money to get the food to make the movie they're making now the other coaches will use the principles they understand the principles they set their goals and they pursue those goals they achieve the first they set themselves on the second and among us black people we do great things, you know , and flashy things, and great athletes and great musicians, but basically we are controlled by other cultures and, for example, the black superstar of today for me is the Uncle Tom of

1984

because While he tries to get another contract for an additional million dollars, he's represented entirely by white people, so he doesn't back down and bring in black lawyers, black accountants, or black managers that he's so happy to be considered an idol in this society that he doesn't have.

I don't understand that in 10 years everything that will happen will be broken and he wouldn't have created anything that would be lasting for his children as grandchildren, so until we understand the principle that every other culture seems to understand, you will always have to ask someone to do something for us. Don't forget to register to vote. You know it's a man's world, unless there's a woman involved. Are you registered to vote? Jesse Jackson is running for president. Just think about that, Jesse Jackson, you know what? What happened if he runs for president, what would actually happen? dead wife who will come out of her graves to go vote made by the voters they don't know why they just have to leave America is not ready for a black president they are not ready Come on, they are not even ready for a vice president.

Let's be realistic. What is that job? He would be wonderful vice president. Think about it. It would be perfect. That would ensure that the president would not be assassinated. Oh, no one is going to shoot a vice president. We know that the president shoots can travel in a convertible all day or night. They won't shoot. Where is the president? He is asleep in the convertible. He is safe.
