George Lucas: Hollywood Didn’t Want To Fund ‘Red Tails’ Because Of Its Black Cast (VIDEO)
In an appearance on The Daily Show last night, George Lucas said that he had trouble getting funding for his new movie, “Red Tails,” because of its black cast. . .
“It’s because it’s an all-black movie. There’s no major white roles in it at all…I showed it to all of them and they said no. We don’t know how to market a movie like this.”
“Red Tails,” which stars Cuba Gooding, Jr., and Terrence Howard, is based on the Tuskegee Airmen, the group of pioneering black pilots who fought in the United States’ segregated armed forces during World War II.

As is so particularly demonstrable by American Christians!
The Mind of the Believer
. . . I am convinced that defending the faith makes otherwise brilliant people look stupid. I mean it. That’s what faith does to a person. . .
Christians also live in two separate compartmentalized lives. In one life–their ordinary or working one–they live in reality by thinking for themselves and following the evidence wherever it leads as best as they can. But in their other life–their life of faith, the one they were raised to believe, the one that gives them their needed false hope, the one they prefer to be true–they abandon reality, thinking, and evidence altogether.
Is Faith a disease?
Mitt Romney Quotes Lesbian Poet Concerned About Income Inequality On The Stump
Mitt Romney regularly incorporates lyrics from “America the Beautiful” into his stump speeches. Little does he probably realize that the hymn was written by a progressive feminist lesbian who composed it to critique country’s greed, excess, and growing economic inequality. The original third-verse lyrics Katharine Lee Bates wrote in 1894 were as follows:
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!
In the Interest of Teaching Both Sides . . .
