The black people are considered a racial minority not only in the American community but also at Hollywood. This article examines how and why black and white relationships change in this media system system with a focus on the element of superiority. In view of this the three race-oriented films, Birth of a Nation (1915), Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967) and the Hateful Eight (2015) have been chosen on purpose. In order to discover the indicative mechanisms of signaling apparatuses in the said film, the five narrative codes and the concept of myth in the semiotics of Barthes have been used. The findings of the research indicate that the forms of depiction of black people in these films have changed in accordance with the historical, social and political fabric of the time of production to comply with the prevalent ideological concepts of the ruling system. The first film, through negative stereotypes, manifests the necessity of subjugation of the black as natural. The second film has challenged the common racial order and presents a new conflicting and interactive model of dominant discourse of the white and combative discourse of the black. In the third film, the black character, representing the persecuted blacks of racist history in the US, in a vengeful action, turns the superior white into the inferior and eliminates the mythological concept of his superiority.
