I guess you don't read the Black women's blogs, Troy. There was a call for a boycott before the film even opened but everyone tried to ignore those blogs. The 2nd week box office fell by 53% Gee--what you think caused it to crash that severely?? According to "Ticket Box-office Tracker".....Older black women have been supporting the film strongly. But overall, Black women's audience is very low. How many Black Women really want to pay $16 to watch themselves erased from history & watch a Black man romance a white woman? All 2,000 of the Tuskegee airmen married Black women BTW. And there were Black Female Pilots & soldiers in Italy with those men. Not to mention 900 Black American nurses were imported to Italy to take care of the pilots. CNN recently reported on several "love stories" that were quite epic between Black Male & Female Pilots during that era. None of that was shown in the movie. NONE of the actors you mentioned are interested in Black women--they all married White. So yes, many DUMB black women are fawning over men who would never notice them. But the "thinking" black women are not supporting this movie and the box office shows that. I do notice a STRONG WHITE AUDIENCE attended the opening week, though.
