60% Hollywood Presidents Now Black
MARTIN LAWRENCE TO STAR AS 'THE PREZZZ!!'

Civil rights campaigners and Black community leaders were cheered last night as an industry survey reported that 60% of Hollywood films which depict a fictional President now choose to represent him as a Black man.

“It is a measure of how far we have come that an African American can now hold such a fictional position of power,” said media commentator Chad Makel, “It just goes to show how politically engaged fictional Black Americans are. Only 20 years ago, the idea of having a fictional Black President was nothing more than a dream. If you had told me then that we would now be in a situation where the majority of Hollywood Presidents are Black…. well, I would have laughed in your face. In your face!!”

“This is a proud day for fictional America,” said real President, White, middle-aged, privately educated oil millionaire George Bush. “And I urge other Western democracies to follow our lead, and strive toward a fully integrated, colour-blind society, where the colour of your skin no longer dictates your fortunes in the movies.” President Bush made special mention of Goldie Wilson, who blazed a trail by becoming the first African-American mayor of Hill Valley in the Back to the Future films, despite the scorn of his boss, Mr Caruthers.

Coincidentally, the survey’s findings were made public on the same day that Disney announced that Martin Lawrence is set to be inaugurated as the next Black Hollywood President, when his film ‘The Prezzzz!’ opens in August. Lawrence is to star as a jive-talking, sass-mouth drug dealer or pimp who becomes president through some kind of mishap. His character learns a thing or two about civic responsibility, whilst also teaching his uptight senate buddies to loosen up a bit. There will probably be a sequence when he delivers a state of the nation address by rapping or breakdancing or something.
