I don't think Hollywood should make any black movies
Summary
A rider with bold opinions tells Kareem that Hollywood shouldn't make any Black movies, Indian movies, or minority films at all. His reasoning? White studios will butcher the stories, and creators become enslaved to the money. "When you taking somebody else's money, you taking a dick of you," he argues. The solution is simple: get your own funding. He points out that even billionaires like Tyler Perry and Rihanna still make white billionaires richer, so why not focus on making stuff for your community instead? To prove his point, he's launched his own production company, Hollywood Productions, starting with a film called A Nightmare on Malcolm X Boulevard. The title? It's literally on his tooth.

So, what's your take? I don't think Hollywood should make any black movies.
You don't think Hollywood should make any black movies? No black movies, no Indian movies, no minority movies, no nothing. They should just make white movies. Like, Good Will Hunting, that's good, right?
I'm going to have to Society of Magical Negroes. We don't need that. 100% disagree.
No, dog. Like, would you ever want like Indian food made by like Italians? No.
It doesn't sound bad. NO, I DON'T WANT THAT, DOG. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY GOING TO DO. Gay people want porn made by straight people.
HELL YEAH. NO.
STRAIGHT PEOPLE ARE THE BEST AT MAKING PORN. EW. Straight people are the worst at making anything, dog. And I'm straight.
So what do you think the solution is? Get the money yourself. Go figure out how to do it. Like literally. Cuz when you relying on these Hollywood white people to make your dog, they're going to butcher it and then you're going to be a slave to them because then you owe them all that money. When you taking somebody else's money, you taking a dick of you. Okay? So uh you got to go get your money yourself.
You got to tell this to Spike Lee and Tyler Perry. Spike and Tyler, yo, hey, y'all my y'all my brothers, but like, hey, stop taking that white man money. And also, they got their own money, so they good. Tyler Perry is a billionaire. But see, that's the thing. You can't become a billionaire without making other white billionaires richer. Every time Rihanna makes more money, a rich white man is making more money off of what she made money off of. So why would you want to be a billionaire when you can just focus on making stuff for your community? That's why I made Hollywood Productions. [laughter] We making a movie called A Nightmare on Malcolm X Boulevard. On my tooth.
Oh, it is on your tooth. Uh-huh.
It is on his tooth.
