Summary

Why is Hollywood so reluctant to hire people of color? You've seen how the Rodney King incident and the O. J. Simpson scandal impacted race relations throughout America. But outside of Hollywood, have you ever heard of Riley Weston, The Secret Life of Desmond Pfeiffer, or "The Virtual Whiteout" of 1999? All of them, including King and O. J., have contributed to low employment for people of color from the late '90s through the economic crisis of 2008. 

AppBLACKation Rejected pulls back the Hollywood curtain so listeners can see how fear of unemployment promotes racist behavior in otherwise decent people, White and Black. From 1992 to the exposure of Amy Pascal in 2014, this audiobook chronicles more than 20 years of deceit and immorality in Hollywood by distinguishing between racism and discrimination and, through the author's personal journey, examines how liberal Hollywood can practice what they preach and begin hiring African Americans rather than just talking about it. 

If you want to understand why Hollywood is considered unfair, how to deal with unpredictable personalities when hired, or how the business operates from writing through production to distribution, AppBlackation Rejected explains the Hollywood process and its sickness better than any film school could ever dare.
