Actor and rapper Tip “T.I.” Harris and Jeff Clanagan, Kevin Hart’s business partner, represented the entertainment perspective in a virtual panel Thursday examining issues across society and culture raised by the GeorgeFloyd protests
“There is no perfect revolution,” Harris said. But even if ultimate outcomes don’t match “what we have in our heads,” the key is to continue “attacking the financial base of what we consider this power of oppression.”episode shows how much progress is yet to be made. HBO Max this week temporarily pulled the 1939 film off its streaming service after objections were raised about its depictions of slavery, among other issues. “But the next day,becomes the No. 1 movie on Amazon,” Clanagan said.
“Studios are willing to pay for [Black-created] content because it generates revenue for the company but they’re not willing to share the power in the boardroom,” he said. “We don’t control anything. We don’t control distribution, we don’t control marketing. We’re not making decisions. And yet, the insensitivity that a lot of studios have, they don’t understand the culture, there’s no one inside. So what do they do? They go hire a VP of diversity.
Agreeing with Clanagan, Jenkins said the focus should be on targeting the “power structure within leadership” with “authenticity, not tokenship.” While millions of dollars have gone toward a cluster of deserving causes, including the NAACP, Amnesty International and the Bail Project, he said, remote learning for school kids during COVID-19 has exposed inequality that is less-publicized but equally worthy of funding. More than one-third of Black Americans don’t have internet access or personal computers, he said.
