Go See Red Tails!

Just because Tyler Perry and Will Smith exist does not mean that Hollywood is all equal and good. George Lucas (yeah, you remember Star Wars?) produced an all black film about an all black, really THE all black, World War II Air Force brigade, the Fightin' 99th. They were the first all black air force pilot brigade in World War II, and they performed the best out of anyone. They never lost a bomber; they never got shot down. Nonetheless, many people do not know who they are.

Even though George Lucas was behind the flick and it starred major black talent (Terrance Howard, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Ne-Yo), Lucas recently went on Jon Stewart to tell the world how no studio would back the flick because there was no white lead. So how did the movie get made?

Lucas self-financed the movie with $58 mil of his OWN MONEY and even then, it took 23 YEARS to get made. Now when you consider that Star Wars didn't take that long, not for all 6 episodes, you have to think that this movie is probably worth the $150 buxx they charge at the movie theatres nowadays.

This video is known as Raw Feed for me, because it is unedited, just me talking. I've seen a lot of pure idiots on Youtube who don't exercise any editing in their videos, yet they still get hits. I don't know why. But I have to experiment with the same format to find out. So here is my first Raw Feed video. I also talk about Huntsman dropping out (tear).
