Bobo and The Color Purple


No, Jacueline Bobo does not scapegoat Steven Spielberg for mainstream cultural views. I believe Bobo is blaming Hollywood for institutional racism (she does not explicitly state this) for studio productions involving racism and sexism rather than woman empowerment. Bobo found "of the oppression and harm that comes from a negative media history..they are also aware that their specific experience, as black people, as women in a rigid class/caste state, has never been adequately dealt with in mainstream media" (102).
