Black Women Run Hollywood from Funny Or Die
“You ever wonder why Black women play such minor roles in movies?” asks Alfre Woodard in this hilarious Funny or Die video featuring Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Tracee Ellis Ross, Meagan Good, Retta, Loretta Devine, and more.
“We have been flying under the radar darling, to maintain complete control. Every movie you see, every song you think you like, every TV show in your DVR, we put them there, sugar.”
While it’s easy to laugh this off, this “secret society” of Black actresses raises some serious questions about why we don’t have more Black women leads, producers, and directors in Hollywood.
