That's not true. They just tend to be indie movies.

Mainstream still wants to push the narrative that interracial between black men and white women as the lead won't sell in theatres. So indie is the closest, so
that way they can keep it out of mainstream media. Last IR romantic success in a mainstream film was the movie "FOCUS", but it got tore down by the
media and critics... I liked it though. Hollywood still with a couple of exceptions(like Margot Robbie) play protect certain actresses from doing romantic IR films with black men.
Although the movie "A United Kingdom" because of it's release in the UK was eligible for awards this season, but no love. It has an american Release date next month.

I saw the trailer of Jordan Peele's flick Get Out of a brother visiting his White girl friend's parents who turns out to be very strange like their Black 'help'.

OK. I've given in & I'm watching this series premiere of Lee Daniels' "Star" right now. Ole Girl's Instagram page made me give in. She looking sexy AF in this pilot too.
OK, I watched the 3rd episode of Lee Daniels' "Star" that aired last week....
Despite the fact that "Star" is a black show about the music industry in Atlanta & the white chick lead character Star is actually bi-racial with a black husband & is very pro-black in real life, Lee Daniels has managed to give her a white dude as a long-term love interest.
Not only that, the dark-skinned chick Alex who is daughter of Lenny Kravitz & Naomi Campbell on this show has some Puerto Rican-looking dude as her love interest.
The prominent black male characters are (NONE of them are regulars, They all are recurring characters):
1. Lenny Kravitz who plays a legendary rock star, but dude seems to be a junkie/alcoholic.
2. Tyrese plays a pastor who is simping over Queen Latifah
3. Darius McCrary who plays the abusive foster father of Star's younger sister Simone, who he sexually abuses.

I never understood that. I seen movies and I think another TV show where they have a urban ww, growing up around and in a black community, has black friends but
a white love interest. Like a black love interest wouldn't be realistic, but black friends would. That is also another way in what I see that hollywood is actually trying
to show a dissaproval of IR between a bm and a ww. And now even black producers are portraying it the same. Giving audiences a bad perception of
interracial relationships between black men and white women.
I have said this before but we jumped the gun with seeing IR relationships, because Hollywood clearly has an hidden agenda in the way they like to portray them
for the most part. You have to pay attention to REALLY see and understand it. How many IR relationships between black men and white women that are an
actual love story versus the ones that are tumultuous and/or tragic. Pay attention and don't get distracted by the fact they are showing it.
Back to this show... I'am no way homophobic, I have zero problem with gay people, but I'm being real in what I see when I say Lee Daniels seems like one
of those black gay guys that takes on the characteristics of one of those black women that are against BM dating outside their race especially white women, but
cool with black women doing it. Hope this show isn't doing well, especially knowing that the woman who is playing star is actually biracial with a black husband
and by her instagram LOVES her husband a lot and they got her on this show that isn't very favorable to black men.

I don't disagree with you, which is to say, there isn't enough positive IR representation. Compared to ten years ago, there's tons of IR - it's grown exponentially (thanks Obama), but we are now in a historical moment where we can start to discuss the quality of it.

On Netflix we are getting Jessica Jones and Luke Cage
And in theatres coming here in the U.S. the movie A United Kingdom
Those are the only two positive IR relationships that are capturing people's attention right now especially Luke Cage & Jessica Jones.
But here is when the media plays it's part. They are pretty much ignoring A United Kingdom which is critically acclaimed and who
knows what they will do with Luke & Jessica.

What are some other examples of Movies/TV shows with a ww from a black/urban community who managed to find a white savior love interest? 1 of the black podcasts I listen to that does movie reviews felt this way about Jane/Margot Robbie in the Tarzan movie that came out this past year.
Anyways, they did a good enough job to make Star look white with makeup & hair, but not the younger sister Simone. She can't pass for Anglo white, she's clearly a Latina.
Man if you think Lee Daniels was pushing a LGBT agenda on "Empire", he's taken it to another level with "Star". There's at least 3 trannies on this show. It's a legit not safe for dudes to lust over chicks on this show, because you aren't sure if it's a real female or a tranny.Back to this show...

Also, I'm wondering if Lee Daniels is Fake Gay to get put on. I recently got put onto this old NYT article from 2009 where he admits he is Bi, not gay. Talking some nonsense about the reason he don't mess with females is because they won't accept him for being with men.

I don't remember any other ones, mainly because I try to forget. But Tarzan was always a white love story in Africa. lol. I think I touched on "Don't Shoot The Messenger".
