Or how about True Detective? I never heard anyone go, "Is it going to be Amy Adams or Gabrielle Union?" for that show. I didn't hear one black girl's name on those lists. Not one. Literally everyone in town was up for that part, unless you were black … And there are almost no black women in film. You can go to whole movies and not see one black woman. They'll throw a black guy a bone. OK, here's a black guy. But is there a single black woman in Interstellar? Or Gone Girl? Birdman? The Purge? Neighbors? I'm not sure there are. I don't remember them. I go to the movies almost every week, and I can go a month and not see a black woman having an actual speaking part in a movie. That's the truth.

Chris Rock is among the most anti-white people in America.

Doesn't he have a new movie coming out? He's been irrelevant for so long so he's playing the race card to promote his shite.

Not much worse than 12% of the population being upset about not getting equal screen time.. I'd be willing to bet that the % is even lower for HBO subscribers.

One of the main astronauts in Interstellar was a black male. And there just weren't that many characters in that movie. Come on Chris.

Black people will never stop complaining about the evil white race

Btw, in Superman Perry White is a white character. In Man of Steel, Perry White was played by Laurence Fishburne.
