Woody Allen criticized for not hiring black people - ali - 08-02-2014
Woody Allen has responded to accusations he won't hire black actors.
The New York Daily News recently reported that Allen's play about Harlem's Cotton Club, "Bullets Over Broadway" -- which debuts in April -- has no black gangsters, something it said Allen specifically requested, citing an anonymous source. Allen's rep told the newspaper his priority is casting "the exact appropriate person for a role regardless of race, which has never been a consideration."
The New York Observer's Roger Friedman recently asked Allen if he would ever cast someone like Viola Davis. Allen reportedly said, "Not unless I write a story that requires it. You don't hire people based on race. You hire people based on who is correct for the part. The implication is that I'm deliberately not hiring black actors, which is stupid. I cast only what's right for the part. Race, friendship means nothing to me except who is right for the part."

Phuck Woddy Allen! who cares! ::confused:: I don't!

which nig wants to work for Allen anyway. let him keep going on with his unrealistic
and stupid movies that the Jewish owned media always praise.
in 20-25 years time they will all be recognized for the trash they are.

There has never been a black person in a Woody film . He has managed ti shoot scenes in crowded streets of New York and still not a single Black on those streets
