The story’s central issue was a hot topic in 2001, following the commercial success of “street” books like Sapphire’s 1996 Push — adapted into the 2009 film Precious — and Sister Souljah’s hit The Coldest Winter Ever.
Erasure came out within months of Spike Lee’s film Bamboozled, which told a similar story with TV as its subject: A frustrated producer creates a show of literal blackface minstrelsy, and the network and audience devour it without irony.
The film flopped at the box office, but looms over this one.
