Charges of Racism in Film Industry

Black people are collectively fed up and feel that it is time for negative portrayals of blacks in films and on television to cease. Black people of conscience throughout the nation applaud Clegg for having the wisdom to recognize the seriousness of this issue, for having the courage to speak out against it, and for having the decency and sense of reason to request a forum to discuss a resolution of same.

Clegg’s request for a summit between blacks and Jewish producers does not constitute prejudice; but rather, it demonstrates the actions of a reasonable man who is seeking racial harmony in an effort to restore the dignity of his people.
