On this edition Dr. Vibe’s Allies, Mike Ramey, Victory Unlimited and Henri Morris. As scheduled to be on the show are Jon Covington (Founder of Men Of Color In The Industry) and actors Keith Burke and Scott Brooks. Tonight’s discussion topic is “The Hollywood Hustle: What Do You Think Of The Images Of Black Men In Movies And On Television?”
Here are some of the conversation topics that the gentlemen will be talking about:
What is the definition of “a Black Movie”?
What was good (or bad) about the Black Male Images in the movies of the Seventies—the so-called “Blaxploitation” era?
Why are there so many black sitcoms and so few black dramas in television history?
What do you think of the Spike Lee era of movies? And what do you think contributed to it’s rise and subsequent fall?
For black men, what’s good (or bad) about the rise of the movie and television empire of Tyler Perry?
In your opinion: What does Hollywood think of black men?
Do you think there’s a connection between the election of the first Black President and the rise of historically based films like the Help, Django,
the Butler, and 12 Years a Slave?
Are there certain types of roles in movies or TV shows that are intrinsically hurtful or helpful to the images of Black Men?
What’s the biggest barrier to the success of black movies—the racism in Hollywood or the personal prejudices of moviegoers?
What are some of the most memorable, important, or groundbreaking black male images on television? And what made them so memorable to you?
If you had to pick a favorite black male movie or television actor, who is he? And why?
With the rise of more Black-oriented, television networks and with the cost of making movies becoming more economical due to digital photography—what is your hope for the future of black male images in movies and on television?
