Zitat des Tages von Omar Epps:
People don't want to pay 8 or 9 dollars to go see a problem that they have in their life, on screen. They pay to get away from that. That's why they watch soap operas.
People are realizing that color has no bearing on what's known as brotherhood.

Whatever art form you're working in, it's crucial to see it clearly, to feel it clearly, and not to worry about the results, or how someone else will see it.
If someone saves your life, you develop a brotherhood, no matter what your race.
We were all Romans once, I guess.
The world is as it should be.
