Maybe the blacks just had a poor year in the cinema? The blacks? Is that what you said?
I'd have thought it would be easy to find out if 'the blacks' had a poor year in the cinema, just ask one of them. They all speak for each other, right?

What would you call them?
Black people and white people? African Americans? Whites and non-whites?
I don't think referring to ethnic groups as blacks and/or whites is particularly racially charged. 'Blackies' maybe. Certainly 'nignogs'

not "the blacks"
"black people" != "the blacks" (although "people of color" is what I would use in the US)
