You’re a Shade or Two Darker Than Paper-bag Brown

But you cheer the white man beating the native or brother down.

'It's okay cuz he's the good guy!' the film's programmed into your protests

They got your vote in this million-dollar ho fest

But you know something's wrong, you can feel it in your chest

What a mess

Tight, burning pumping and it won't go away

Until he saves the day and walks away with the girl and gets paid

By you and you and me uh yeah didn't you know?

On to the next blockbuster son, buy your over-priced popcorn, chocolate, candy and let's go!

Not all movies are like that, but you do have a point. That's why for the most part I like independent films. If we support black directors more, maybe we can see more of their movies.
