Man, I have no idea why that trend is so strong, but I will say that going to a theater here in Columbia SC, Jefferson Square, which is your basic downtown ghetto-ass 99% black people theater, to watch Trespass with Ice-T - high out of my got-damn mind - when I was in highschool was one of the funniest and scariest things I have ever done in my white-boy-from-the-suburbs life. The black dude in front of my family when we went and watched Silverado with Danny Glover was pretty good too - "Shit, homeboy maaaad now. He is going to KICK yo ass." He had the commentary in the pauses though, so it rather added more than subtracted from the experience. Black theaters are so, so very different than the white-flight suburbs I grew up in.
