Hip Hop Media: Race in Movies
Featuring Frederick Gooding, Jr. of The Minority Reporter
MONDAY EVENING l 8:15PM-10:15pm l MSC LOUNGE
The Minority Reporters look at Hollywood from different angles.
Did you know that there is both Race and Hip Hop in your movie?! Prepare yourself, for this is the report that Hollywood doesn’t want you to see! This hard-hitting session provides a structured forum for analyzing the ways Hollywood consistently makes minority characters "look bad" at the expense of making white characters "look good" -- and guess what...? Hip Hop movie stars catch it bad too! Learn the science behind the six main character patterns for both minority and white characters (Yes! White characters!) and explore the reasons behind why "the black guy dies first!" as we break out our "Digital DJ" skills for a dazzling display of media clips, powerful images, biting humor and expert and insightful commentary. But we're warning you: after this presentation, you will never see movies the same way again!
