George Lucas doesn't hold back

Watch the interview below.  George Lucas went on the Daily Show to talk about his movie, "Red Tails", which has an all African American cast.  He doesn't bite his tongue in saying that it took him over 20 years to make this movie because NO movie studio would finance it JUST because there are no major White actors in it.

This upset me a great deal.  It is now 2012 and Black people still are not seen as equals as if it were 1950.  He even goes into how Black directors are pushed into a hole of limited expectations in the Film industry; which is an even more enraging and unsettling fact.
