Black Guys in Movies always die first...sooo there's an Algorithm for that?! vol. math proves racism

[jimmybeanz]

I was watching a movie on the tube (Skinwalkers) while washing dishes and saw a black guy. I thought to myself, he'll prolly die in the next 5-10 min. Weknow that's an open secret in movies; the black guy won't make it to the end (unless he's Denzel or Will).

I googled to find out if anyone had put together a nice list of movies where the black guy bit the dust early and found this:

interesting find

 

[robocrook]

in the never die species: Dogs (except in literature) (or Disney)

, now that I think about it....

 

[million dollar stacks]

 

[gametheory]

Jamie Foxx in Stealth. When he died it immediately became the wackest movie I'd ever seen. Total disbelief

 

[atlien seeko]

But it's "uncool" to say ANYTHING is racist these days without the N word being involved because people are "too sensitive"

I agree, but at the same time that kind of is the harsh reality. Hollywood stereotypically overdoes it but there is reasonable grounds to makethat assumption.
