In other words, JACKASS isn't as serious an immoral abomination as SEX & THE CITY and, of course, Oprah.

I haven't seen the film yet, so I can't judge how Hudson's character was framed, but ultimately, in such a white film people are going to conveniently see it as a "mammy/magical negro" role, when there could be something deeper going on. All in all, I respect the SATC franchise for what it is, and don't expect a deeper agenda from it.

It seems that Hudson couldn't be cast as Carrie's equal, I wonder if the mostly-white female demographic would be uneasy with the introduction of a black woman of stature equal or greater to their own. "They were white women dipped in chocolate." So true. I haven’t read any perspectives on SATC from POC, so thank you for this.

“They were white women dipped in chocolate.”

So true.
