Wow, heavy stuff was right. I'm not too sure what to make of this. Obviously hooks has no problem speaking her mind. Her thoughts on pop culture regarding race are interesting. While it is hardly universal, she brings up the point that in many films the unfortunate ones to get killed off are black, or even that the villain is black. I did, however, take some exception to her thoughts about Darth Vader in Star Wars. I think that was kind of a stretch. During production of the film, the guy in the Vader costume did all the lines, and when it was realized he had a high-pitched, wimpy-sounding voice not befitting of a commanding presence like Vader, James Earl Jones was sought out for his great, godly voice.
I did agree, however, with her observation that white, moneyed liberals, while they may defend the underprivileged and oppressed, actually may advance racial stereotypes.
