In MSM, why does it take a POC [person of color] to tell the White Guy, what is real?

[OmegaLogos]

Explanation: I see it in movies ...

I have seen shit that'll turn you white!




Ray, when someone asks you if you're a God, you say YES!



Spiderman 2: Stopping the train! Everything is going to be alright!



Yes they deserve to Die!



I SAW IT!



Here, have a cookie!



MoonLight Graham!




People will come Ray!



And, I was never here!



No Luke, I am your father! [sarcasm]



Personal Disclosure: I could probably dredge up some more examples but I think what I have now is good enough to paint that big picture in enough detail to get the question across  as simply as I can but do.

So yeah, why does it take a POC to tell a WG what the real go and deal is eh?

I think and feel its because White people are so insular and their mostly middle class lifestyles generally shield them from being aware of the realities of life that POC who have generally struggled to become middleclass and have lived in gangbanger ghetto slums are horribly awoken too the realities of this fallen existence!

Thats why its a memetic trope almost for me ...

So my fellow Rogues, do you have a possible answer to my possibly racist query?

I'd just like to leave this threads OP on this note ok ...

I think it has more to do with class and status than color.

If we are both at ground level, we will see things about the same.

Move up the mountain a few feet and you can see things that those below you cannot see.

Move up a few more feet and you will be able to see a vast expanse, but those below become more difficult to see, and look very small.

Move even further up and your can see miles around, but you can no longer see what is below your feet.

Move up further and you will only be able to see clouds.

My first shout on your examples, Omega, would be that all those of colour in the movie-clips you provided,
speak good-and-clear English. Not Ebonics and even in Samuel Jackson's case, not so-emotive that the words
can be butchered by dialect.

James Earl Jones speaks as Hollywood would have a confident grandfather-figure speak. It may seem asinine
and shallow, but certainly in Mr Jones and Mr. Hudson's case, it's true. The actual actor who wore the Darth Vader
costume was David Prowse -a white guy, but his jovial West Country English accent didn't ring of the authority and
mild menace needed. A must for a movie made to take money from the young and old alike.

So James Earl Jones was brought in to speak as Darth Vader because a global audiences would be better-able to
understand his deep authoritative voice. Ernie Hudson falls into this same category, his rich tones bring a commanding
confident aspect when he acts.

Gloria Foster played 'The Oracle' in The Matrix, she held a 'grandmother-knows-best' tone to her accent and spoke clearly.


The colour-thing has -as @"NightskyeB4Dawn" points out, little to do with the need to have POCs in the movie business,
it's a class situation that is used to rattle people and keep them angry without actually naming it.

Nobody likes being talked-down to and that's the kicker, one uses a supposed under-class in a forum built for everyone to
'nudge' an assumption that another class of society doesn't care or fails to understand the other assumed levels. Yet, an
audience watching a movie for entertainment purposes looks to be entertained, not preached to. But to aim at merely
making a movie that would not be thought-provoking or draw negative emotions about their fellow-man would require
world-wide comprehensive plots, globally-relevant narratives and since countries don't all adhere to the west's liberal
values and capitalist ways, such movies could never be made because they wouldn't make sense to anyone.

The Class-culture is where this trope is used and has been utilised for centuries. In the Old World, it's breeding... a few
well-born families and their 'hangers-on'. In the New World -the United States, it is a self-styled group of 'Elites' who believe
wealth indicates better pedigree. Hollywood -along with politicians, embrace this divorced-from-the plebs ideal.

However, they use tactics like race, gender and climate to constantly shield their own biasness, that of believing they are
better than others.
