Al Sharpton, Sony co-chief meet over racist emails – NY …
The Rev. Al Sharpton, after sitting down with reeling Sony Entertainment co-chair Amy Pascal, said the racial makeup of 21st century Hollywood lags decades behind the times.
An apologetic Pascal met for 90 minutes with Sharpton and National Urban League President Marc Morial to discuss her recently unearthed racially insensitive emails exposed and leaked by hackers.
Sharpton said the two sides hoped to work together on a plan to bring more minority representation to the movie business.
Pascal arrived in Manhattan one day after scratching the Dec. 25 release of "The Interview, the controversial Seth Rogen and James Franco comedy.
Sharpton said Hollywood had a history as an exclusionary, almost all-white hierarchy ... an environment that still resembles 1950s America.
EDITORIAL: Terrorists 1, Hollywood 0
REVIEW: Lighten up, 'The Interview' is funny
He cited the hacked emails in which Pascal and producer Scott Rudin made inappropriate cracks about President Obama's movie tastes suggesting the chief executive preferred movies about slavery or starring black actors.
Pascal, who did not appear after the meeting at a Manhattan hotel, released a formal apology last week for her remarks.
The jury is still out on where we go with Amy, Sharpton said. We clearly are willing to deal with an immediate formula to see where we deal with breaking down the walls of inflexible, and so far immovable, racial exclusion in Hollywood.
