FWIW.....a good movie is a good movie, doesn't mater what color the star is. Its doing well because.....its a good movie!
Not knowing Mattel's marketing strategy, the lack of black Barbies in certain markets doesn't really point to anything. I seriously doubt the managers of any location had any say what was brought into their stores.
Blade movies rock, never even thought about it being a black character.
People make this into a boiler plate topic because they can(not you guys, the media). It riles up all sides when really, there is no reason to get riled up at all. Imagine if this movie came out and everyone said 'its a good movie'? Wow, I wonder if both sides could stomach a world with no hairs to split? Or is everyone too accustomed to flying their 'race' flag(yes, both sides) every time this pimple gets red? Both sides of these articles are stupid.
