Not even. The right-wing has more racists because racism in itself is a logical fallacy of the genetic type. Conservative arguments usually aren't logically, because conservatives react better to fear.

Except they are not equal.

The right truly is always wrong. Which part of history has the conservative position ever been correct?

Sure- it is just "fake". I guess that is why the CEO of Sony was also stating that Obama probably only likes "black themed films" and now has to kiss Al Sharpton's ring to beg forgiveness.

Give me a break.

Left wingers are routinely racist as a matter of course.

The "liberalness" of Hollywood has always been overrated, they're actually much more conservative than they're given credit for. Couple of examples

1. They don't show black male/white female couples unless that's what the entire movie is about(guess who's coming to dinner, jungle fever etc)
2. They rarely if ever talk about abortion, even if the entire movies premise is based on pregnancy(see knocked up or Juno)
3. The white savior narrative, I can't tell you how many movies I've seen where the black characters only role is to be helpless until the white guy/girl saves them(The Blindside, City of Joy,Freedom writers, cry freedom and countless others)

Sony Hack: Studio Warned Not to Cast Denzel Washington Due to His Race - Breitbart

Good thing they reversed course with Denzel Washington in "The Equalizer". Washington is my favorite "modern" actor (I like Clint Eastwood and Jimmy Stewart from older movies) and have never seen one of his movies I did not like. However, unlike libs, when I see him, I see a great actor, not a great BLACK actor.
Good god, read the actual article that you post. You're embarrassing yourself.

I loved Flight, I feel he should've gotten an Oscar for that role.

Oh... so that explains why we keep getting all of these lame conservatives into office.

Quick - what political party does the producer who made the recommendation belong to?

Oh, that's right. You have no clue.

Thread fail.

From my observation conservatives seem to always downplay the role of racism....and few situations, in their eyes, are actually racist, but rather, a "victim syndrome" or "card" being played by those making the claim for some sort of gain. Yet, conservatives salivate to point out examples of white liberal racism.....even though racism largely in their eyes does not exist and is just an "excuse" used by people for their own personal failings.

Here is another thing: Conservatives tend to be the ones who will point to the election of a black president as demonstration that America is NOT racist.....Yet....they are not the ones who voted the black president in. They (the conservatives) use the actions of liberal whites to demonstrate that whites (and by association white conservatives) are not racist and that racism is not a problem.....all while "they" voted against him. Talk about welfare....white conservatives use the actions of white liberals to defend white people against claims of being racist.....because they cannot use their own actions.

Oh the irony.

It is interesting that under a democrat president, race relations always go to hell.
Then under a Republican Presidents, they get better.

It is like there is an agitation that the white man is keeping them down, once they get in power.
