![[Supporting the Dream: Go See “Red Tails” This Weekend]
One of the most repetitive questions that float around Tinseltown is, “why is there only one representation of black men in Hollywood?” It’s a debacle that’s been the subject of controversy for years and has only boasted with the success of Tyler Perry’s “Madea” films. From Eddie Murphy to Martin Lawrence, a fat suit, a wig and and an attitude seem to be the three ingredients to success, right? According to George Lucas? Wrong. Despite being warned by numerous investors, the award winning Star Wars creator used his own money to produce, “Red Tails”, a story about the legendary Tuskegee Airmen of World War II. No sassy baby mamas. No trips to prison. Just pure cinema. And not a moment too soon. For as much as we complain however, I know for sure that many won’t go to the movies to support this film. So next time “Big Momma” comes rolling across your TV remember, you could’ve done something about it.](http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly0tny3vCU1qa9p5qo1_500.jpg)
