Just For Fun Lets Do This .....
Paramount Studios ...whos apart of the "Big Six"(parmount,20th century fox,warner bros,disney,columbia,universal) major movie distributors that make up nearly 84% of the US market share has a divison specifically for lower budget "art house" types of films called Paramount Vantage ... these are the movies they put out which are not expected to turn a huge profit but proves benificial to these companies with the ability to as i said gain oscar buzz and keep the guise of indie roots attatched to the studio ... now ..since we have established money making isnt always the only bullet point on a studios agenda why dont you go ahead and take a look at how many of these "art house" "risky" movies are centered around blacks................... dont worry ........ill wait ...oh but they did put out hussle and fuckin flow tho as well as fade to black so i guess they know what we want!

now ... with that being said ... parmount vantage is one of 4 studio subsidiaries asscociated to the "big six"
Paramount - Parmount Vantage
20th Century Fox - Fox Searchlight Pictures

Comcast/GE/Universal - Focus Features

I admittedly havent looked thru the production creds for each of the sister companies ..but i suspect the trend remains .... no black films and if there is get back to me when you find one that isnt a sterotypical "black folk" characterization ...
All this "its a business" shit is absurd .... unless by "its a business" you mean of course that its a business to keep yo black ass off the silver screen....
