I'm rockin this song while typing this post;
The other day Matt Damon INADVERTENTLY ended up telling the truth when he made it clear that DIVERSITY, the joke that it is. AND, HEY, the reason why it is a JOKE! Is because of WHAT IT ACTUALLY DOES AND MEANS. This is what I MEAN, when we as Black People are so DESPERATELY DUMB TO BE UP UNDERNEATH WHITE PEOPLE! HAHAHAHHAHAHA! AND YES, I JUST LAUGHED ABOUT IT BECAUSE THAT'S NOT ME!
But the whole Decoy Diversity Program goes like this;
White People own whatever business or whatever and they then ALLOW SOME BLACKS IN.
Annnnnnnnnnnnnd, that's it.
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
It appears to be HARMLESS, BUT!? Look at what I just typed. White People OWN SOMETHING. Then they say, OKAY, we will LET SOME BLACK PEOPLE WORK FOR US.
And now, viola, DIVERSITY.
By far the dumbest thing I've ever seen, heard, or even typed. No seriously, that was the dumbest thing I've ever typed and honestly looked at, where? How the fuck, hahha! How the fuck does THAT, SOLVE ANYTHING. Ohhhhhhhhhh, goody! We get to work with WHITE PEOPLE, YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY, huh?
NO, I'd rather have during Black History month in short-ass February, all White-Banks give Black People WHO QUALIFY, Zero% Interest Rate Loans with NO HIDDEN FEES. Mind you I used to say shit like this growing up when I was in Catholic School and Sister Mary Joseph would get paler and then say "You have some...? Very unique ideas, Shawn. Now please. God please, sit down."
Me; But Police officers should get half their pay and a two month vacation during that time to keep them from becoming corrupted by their jobs.
Sister Mary Joseph; But then you would be missing some police officers.
Me; Not if you have a rotating vacation schedule.
Sister Mary Joseph; Why, why do you think of these things?
Me; Because some has to right, so why not me.
Sister Mary Joseph; God, give me strength!
Me; If God gave you MORE STRENGTH, what would you do with it? You're a Nun, soh? What exactly would you do with it?
Sister Mary Joseph; Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhgh!
Me; That's...? Not really a word. That's kinda like, an exasperation. Are you exasperated? Do I exasperate you? And why?
Bottom line is THIS! Diversity, is a CON-GAME! And whomever thought of that bullshit, needs to be STONED TO DEATH! With Styrofoam-stones! Just so they understand that the next time IT'S GAME ON WITH REAL STONES! So when Matt Damon explains the plan, the villainous villainous plan! Behind Diversity. I refuse to question the plan. At my own peril! This video pretty much sums up the whole Diversity Nonsense here in Nazi-America;
Even my mom was disgusted when she was in the car and was like "How the hell do you make Affirmative Action then LET THEM PUT WHITEWOMEN ON THERE TOO! IDIOTS!" HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! TRUE! And I laugh, because the shit is SO OUTLANDISHLY STUPID! Who THE FUCK!? Is gonna be like "Yeah, well? You can put Whitewomen on there too, cuz they were being treated like slaves and Jim Crow-ed Up and, wait...?! WAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, A SECOND!? NO THEY WEREN'T! THAT'S AN INTERNAL ISSUE BETWEEN YOU TWO, FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT SHIT!"
However IT IS TO BE NOTED that Whitewomen WERE ADDED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER, NOT BY A VOTE! This is where DETAILS OF HISTORY ARE IMPORTANT! So we should have gone on ahead and said "Nah, no thanks, White People. You can keep Your Trojan Horse." As for Matt Damon, here is the video;
Matt Damon explains to Black lady producer how behind-the-scenes diversity isn't important
September 14, 2015
[UPDATE 9/16/15 - 2:50PM EDT] Matt Damon has issued an apology. It’s not a veryGOOD apology though.
After getting heat for his statements about diversity behind the camera on the HBO reality show “Project Greenlight,” Damon issued an official statement clarifying
his belief we “need […] more diverse filmmakers making movies.” So far, so good. But then Damon falls into the common trap of “sorry you got your feelings hurt.” From an official statement obtained by The Wrap.
“My comments were part of a much broader conversation about diversity in Hollywood and the fundamental nature of “Project Greenlight” which did not make the show. I am sorry that they offended some people, but, at the very least, I am happy that they started a conversation about diversity in Hollywood. That is an ongoing conversation that we all should be having.”
While it’s understandably human nature to deflect responsibility, putting the onus on the offended party is not a good look. Let’s allow Louis CK explain!
Most people would agree with Damon that conversations about diversity in all aspects of the film business are worth having (if they gouge out their eyes and forget that the company is OWNED BY WHITES AND CONTROLLED BY WHITES AT ALL LEVELS SOOOOOOOOOOOOH, MAYBE WE NEED TO MAKE BLACK ENTERTAINMENT COMPANIES AND CORPS AND BLACK THEATERS TO RIVAL WHITE THEATER COMPANIES AND SUCH! WHAT A GREAT IDEA, OR? We can do it this way, which is, pretty much like we're doing it now).
Maybe next time a dialogue can start without silencing minorities Blackwomen to explain to them why they’re wrong.
On the Season 4 premiere of HBO’s “Project Greenlight,” the production team gathered round the camera to have a group debate on which lucky contestant(s) would get to film this year’s project: a comedy entitled “Not Another Pretty Woman.” If the title is already sending up red flags, your “Tired Trope” senses are tingling. The film is about a man who is left at the altar and winds up marrying a prostitute instead. Wacky* hijinks ensue when it turns out Harmony — the only black character in the script — has a white pimp who slaps her around.
Producer Effie Brown (“Dear White People,”) had the unenviable task of being the only PoC in the room while the horror that is this concept unfolded. The rest of the production team includes Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Peter Farrelly, Bobby Farrelly, and Jennifer Todd. As such, Brown made a valiant effort to explain why it was important to choose a director who would treat the character of Harmony with respect instead of turning her into an exploitative trope.
Matt Damon was having none of that.
To recap: Matt Damon, white man, INTERRUPTED a black female producer to explain to her how diversity behind the camera isn’t important. Merit is the only thing directors should be judged by. A pleasant yet naive ideal.
In 2011 — which is the most recent year we have data for — only 12.2% of films were directed by minorities. Women of all ethnicities fared even worse, directing a paltry 4.1% of movies that year. You cannot look at those statistics and believe in a meritocracy where 87.8% of the most qualified directors just HAPPEN to be white and 95.9% of them are — by sheer COINCIDENCE — male. (Now this here is what I was talking about where, as Black People? We don't have TIME to get caught-up in the Gender War of Whites! BLACK PEOPLE have a long history of NOT BEING AFRAID OF BLACKWOMEN BEING IN CHARGE AS A WHOLE! The reason why there is such big problems now, is because we THINK AND ACT WHITE NOW! So we address issues in THEIR FORMS OF CUSTOMS AND CULTURE WITH NO FILTER CREATED FOR OURSELVES, it's idiotic!)
And now back to the Article
If merit were the coin of the realm, why would you not want to hire someone who could bring their own life experiences to a character? Yes there are white men out there who can (and do) direct women well. But Damon’s knee-jerk reaction to even the idea that a woman or a PoC director could be a better fit? That he dismisses how they could bring more necessary empathy needed to ground Harmony as a three-dimensional character and not a racist/sexist caricature?
Spoiler: A white dude named Jason Mann won the director’s chair. (SHOCKED FACE FROM ME O_O!!!!! WHAT A WHITE GUY GOT THE, okay, and? Yawn.)
