| 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 Hollywood had a history as "an exclusionary, almost all-white hierarchy ... an environment that still resembles 1950s America." -- Pascal arrived in Manhattan one day after scratching the Dec. 25 release of "The Interview," the controversial Seth Rogen and James Franco comedy. |
