The letter calls on the entertainment industry to divest from police, de-center white stories and law enforcement perspectives, and to elevate black talent, storylines, careers and pay. It also calls out the entertainment industry for its past and present encouragement of “the epidemic of police violence and culture of anti-blackness”, through numerous movies and shows focusing on the perspective of police.
How about the entertainment world "fixing" this problem?
Any time a woman is demeaned, degraded, used as a sex object or has her looks criticized in a movie or tv show. She has little else to offer the world but her appearance and ability in bed. That never seems to go away and is probably more common than a race issue.

The entertainment world talks the talk, but don’t walk the walk.
Who's going to come when they overdose, someone is breaking into their home or they have a stalker with a weapon (who they haven't been previously married to) bothering them? Oh that's right, the hypocrites have armed bodyguards.

Here's the funny thing about Hollywood: they're both Woker Than Thou and Uber Capitalist, at the same time. On the one hand, they can virtue signal with the best of them. They will surely make some movies that "elevate black talent" etc. These movies, they will fawn all over them, nominating them for every cinematic award in existence. If these movies prove to be successful, they'll pat themselves on the backs for being so smugly superior. And if they bomb, they'll blame the knuckle-draggers for refusing to support quality, socially enlightened films when they're offered.
But, here's the other hand. The Hollywood producers also want to make money. So while they're busy trumpeting their leftist marquee films, they'll also produce "lowbrow" stuff for the common herd. They'll downplay them, but they'll still make them . . . because they want to make money. And at least for now, films that show police and firefighters and the military as the good guys probably make more money than those that show them as the bad guys. So they'll keep making them.
They'll really love it when the police are gone and gov't troops move in because there will be a replacement - one way or another and it won't necessarily be better.
