Review of Black or White (2015) by Juanka P — 26 Aug 2016
Once again, a white person has been given a platform to demonize black people. In the movie, Kevin Costner's teenage daughter has consensual sex and a child with a drug addicted black man. This movie goes out of its way to try and prove that Costner, a drunk, is better suited to raise the child than her biological father's black family.
Costner's character can't even handle the simple task of combing the child's hair. By portraying the child's father as a pathetic drug addict, the movie unsuccessfully tries to paint her pathetic drunken white grandfather as the preferred guardian.
Really? Once again, white is here to save the day. Only in the movies. I imagine the scarcity of acting gigs for black actors in Hollywood as the main reason Octavia Spencer and Anthony Mackie agreed to taking part in this stereotypical racial farce.
Shame on you.
