So if this movie was called............. ...

Actually, I had a chance to see the film yesterday, and despite the title, it is not a diatribe against white girls or even white people in general. It does have some fun with racial stereotypes, class differences, but its primary a romantic comedy. Its about a non-stereotypical late-20-something black guy that draws graphic novels, can't dance, and likes Star Wars, who initially blames his bad break-ups on race, but finds out that it was his own fears that got in the way all along.

Very funny, intelligent film. I don't normally write reviews, but I may do for this film simply because there is so few reviews of this wonderful film!

If you don't like it, then move back to the caves of Europe.

"Whatchu doing on our turf punk? Got a message for smoky"

This ain't the place for this debate. It's tiring. Take some black studies courses or at least google, 'institutional racism in the United States'. That might help you understand the movie's title humor.

Okay, big boy, let's go bottom to top about how dumb your argument is:

But I do notice that it's always the "I'm black" scapegoat that is always thrown out anytime a black person feels they are wronged.
Really? Because if you look at law, anytime someone tries to make an OBVIOUS point about the racial provocation of an issue, they're always accused of "throwing the race card". And I won't even touch the "I'm Jewish" or "I'm gay" card.

Why is there a United Negro College Fund but nothing for white kids, otherwise it would be racist?
Who ever told you NOT to have a United Caucasian College Fund. While I personally don't think anything special about the UNCF (especially when they continue to call themselves "negro"), the UNCF was originally formed, in 1944, it was to give Blacks a better chance in the then racially divided college institutions. And if you look here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Negro_College_Fund) you'll see that most of the UNCF member institutions are all Black.

Why is there no White Entertainment Television, but BET is perfectly acceptable?
I personally can't watch that bullsh*t they pass off as Black Entertainment, in fact I personally prefer to refer to it as Black Exploitation. In the beginning, they had news and entertainment, and good comedy. Now it's just ass and ignorance, trashy television that also works to make us (Blacks) look bad. If you can have non-Whites own this "WET" and reinforce stereotypes, I'll be glad to see it launched.

Black people think it's hilarious, but as soon as a white person makes a joke about a black person, then they are automatically racist.
I personally don't see parody as racism. When I see a token Black guy, or thugs that are automatically portrayed as Black, I just see it as institutionalized entertainment. It's when the jokes attack at sensitive spots, that's when it becomes racism. When the mammies and baby's mommas come out, that's when the show's over.

So if this movie was called "I'm Through with Black Girls" it would be racist?
Really depends on the script. If it ventures into how we generalize stereotypes the was that this movie does, then no. If it jumps from baby momma to Black Panther to immigrant, then maybe.

But, despite my argument, no hard feelings.

WHY? HE'S NOT EUROPEAN, HE'S AMERICAN.

Hey j bayly! Boooo hoooo!

[i]Why is there no White Entertainment Television, but BET is perfectly acceptable?[i]

I'm so sick of this sniveling "argument" that someone white inevitably belches out. It's like one of you said it once and the others parrot it back mindlessly. First of all, there is White Entertainment Television. It's everything that isn't BET. Here's a few facts: not one new show coming on the air this fall stars a Black actress -- not one. How many black shows were on CBS, NBC, ABC or Fox this past year -- none, none, none and none. Imagine a year in which four of the five major networks had no White shows on them or imagine a year in which a new TV season started and none of the shows starred a White actress. Can't imagine it? Probably because it would NEVER happen. So to answer your question, the reason BET is acceptable is so that there is somewhere on the television where Black people can go to see material that acknowledges that we exist during those YEARS when WHITE networks choose to ignore us. BET exists for the same reason Black frats and Black awards shows exist, because for generations Blacks were excluded. If White people had the ounce of decency to include us from the start we wouldn't have needed (and still need apparently) these things. You don't hear black people complaining about CMT (country music television) being all white. So why are white people always whining about BET. Does it bother you that there is one channel somewhere out of the hundreds of cable channels that provides Black people with a creative outlet?

[i]I'm not racist in the slightest bit[i]

Liar. You're either too dumb to know it or too dishonest to admit it, but you are racist. You complain about what Black people have but don't even register how excluded Black people still are from the television programming you watch nightly. We are, at best, still tokens on most shows.

[i]I don't see color when I'm talking to someone or around someone.[i]

Liar.

[i]It's ridiculous and very frustrating.[i]

I'll tell you what's ridiculous and frustrating. Seeing dozens of White shows:


Brothers and sisters
Desperate Housewives
CSI
CSI Miami
CSi New York
How I Met your mother
Two and a half men
Law and Order
Law and Order SVU
Law and Order Criminal Intent
Lost
the new adventures of old christine
Navy NCIS
Without a Trace
Cold Case
The Sopranos
Rules of engagement
Ghost Whisperer
Medium
House
Bones
Smallville
Supernatural
The Office

(I could go one)

Frustration is seeing all of these White shows that focus on White people, many of which don't even have a token black character in the cast (there's your white entertainment television) and then coming on here and having to read some sniveling, whiny racist douchebag like you j bayley pissing and moaning about how tough white people have it when it comes to entertainment. Like I said: Boooooo hoooooo. Here's a little assignment, check the new fall season in TV guide or any entertainment magazine and count the number of shows starring white people compared to the number starring black people. And then complain. I dare you.

Actually the deeper meaning in the film is about being through with the "idea" of what is "white" and what is "black". It's a really progressive film about people looking past exteriors and finding their interior matches. Check out the trailer at www.turnsoul.com.

Let me say first off that I was a part of this film (though in small part: three songs on the soundtrack) but I was there to know why it was called "I'm Through With White Girls". The writer said it was named after a song, and the producer/lead wanted it to be called "The Inevitable Undoing of Jay Brooks". It ended up being called both.

Now, to destroy the rest of these tired retarded arguments:

I call this white "if" logic. "Oh yeah? Well, if blacks blah blah blah" as if it doesn't happen. The funniest name of a southpark character is "Token". This is not a one way street. There is nothing wrong with the title, you saw the word "white" and tripped without knowing hell nor high water about it.

"I'm sick of white people being the butt of all jokes and not being able to defend themselves".

This is hilarious for the simple reason that there are no black owners in mainstream media anymore. Any black person you name, I'll name you a white guy or european jewish guy who's their boss. You say BET, I say "Viacom"...

"Black People think it's hilarious"
Thank you for telling us what we think, we wouldn't know what to do without you...

"As soon as a white person makes a joke about a black person they are automatically called racist."
Then explain George Carlin, Bill Maher, Chris Voss, or essentially ANY modern white comedian going for the "edgy" tag...I love people's selective memories on this topic.

"Why is there no White entertainment TV?"
Same reason there isn't a Black student union at Black Colleges: IT'S REDUNDANT. Besides, BET is white owned by the same company that owns the MTV networks, Nickalodeon, CBS and VH1.

Why is there a UNCF but nothing for white kids?
-Tell ya what: let's switch. You whites give minorities the scholarship/old boy opportunities YOU'VE enjoyed unjustly for the past 200+ years in this nation, and we'll give you the UNCF and Affirmative Action. If you accept that trade, I want to play you in fantasy football for money...

"I'm not racist in the slightest bit"
-If you have to state that unprovoked, I'm forced to wonder who you're trying to convince; us or yourself...

"I don't see color"

OH SHUT THE **** UP WITH THAT! I don't care if you blind as a bat and deaf. If you are standing near me, you can tell I'm black even if you just SMELL me. Color is not something you get to choose not to see. What you CAN choose is how you react to it once it's apparent to you. Do you choose to act racist? Do you choose to prejudge a movie (prejudice) because a race is noted in a title in a non-offensive manner? Are you going to rattle off a bunch of tired refried dismantled white "if" arguments?

"I'm black" scapegoat everytime a black person feels they are wronged.

Gee, you think there might be a reason for that if the black person feels they've been wronged because of their race? Happens every now and again, ya know. Not often, you know...just...every day throughout antiquity and woven into the existence of this country. You know, stuff like that.

"It's ridiculous and very frustrating"

Tell ya what: how bout YOU and I SWITCH. I'll be the complaining 26 year old white guy, and you be the 31 year old black man born with a silver spoon in his mouth, tons of education and blatant wanton descrimination that basically says "your degrees and hard work mean nothing..."

I mean, with all this Affirmative Action and UNCF money they are handing out all willy nilly every five minutes to negroes all over america at the expense of all whites worldwide leading to desolation and white poverty, that sounds like a great trade, right?

I also have a bridge in brooklyn to sell ya...

I'm not racist.....some of my best friends are black.
I'm not a homophobe.....some of my best friend are gay.
I'm not an idiot.....I just say stupid *beep*
