Don't get me wrong, some of my best friends are white, but the idea fascinates me. New Jersey Drive created a world that was completely black - not only in its tone, but in its humor and characters. Or perhaps it would have the warmth and anger of Black Is, Black Ain't . Burden has an inkling of the omnipresence of white culture, but doesn't have the stomach to explore it. Travolta's son watches a TV that is a sea of black faces, but it is as if the director didn't think we could handle the idea, and the subject is dropped.
Most whites fail to recognise the existence of a white culture.
White Man's Burden makes this even clearer, because it lacks the ability to acknowledge, identify, or create any semblance of black culture, only empty shells of white masquerading in black face. The pre-credit sequence is a case in point. Thaddeus drives no less than a Jaguar. When a maid enters the sequence, the camera dotes on her. She is white.
