. . . just saying . . .

"It is our genius that writes the scripts, our genius that chooses the actors and the director, our genius that completes the film, and our genius that awards the premiums."
"That's my point.  I don't see no representation of me in the process."
"That's because you have nothing to do with it."
"But that's racism."
"It's our production, our business and responsibility.  Bring us a script that we believe we can make money on, but please, please, please, no more of that weeping and moaning racial crap or that juvenile shit of your people shooting one another . . ."

"What . . !"
" . . . just saying . . ."
"We write what we know about . . ."
"And that's your problem.  You folks have been in the entertainment business and wars all over the world for generations, have had vast experiences with people of different cultures, but haven't written any stories of those experiences.  You've been afraid  to venture out from that sickening, whining theme with the same ol' lyrics, 'You white people owe us, still discriminating against us.'  You people still don't have a culture.  Been free for over 150 years, a century and a half, and the best you've come up with for culture is attaching ropes to your hair and wearing your britches below your butts.  Actually, we can live without you folks, but you folks can't live without us "
"What . . !
". . . just saying . . ."

"We once tried to form a movie company, but we didn't know how to compete with you people.  So don't tell me that we scared to venture out."
"Jews, Italians, Irish, Chinese, Cubans, Mexicans, we all had to endure discrimination and racism, but we all had -- and have -- strong cultures and we built strong communities and created businesses.  You people -- in spite of all your whooping and hollering about 'black' this and 'black' that don't have a culture to build from."
"We had businesses and fairly peaceful communities, but had to give 'em up to integrate public places.  Now, if we go back to black communities -- filled with violence -- we'll be trying to patronize our own businesses and back in that damn, insulting segregation mierda . . .  and not 'just saying'."
