Louis Gossett Jr. - An Officer & A Gentlemen
Cuba Gooding Jr. - Jerry Maguire
Jamie Foxx - Ray
Whoopi Goldberg - Ghost
Morgan Freeman - Million Dollar Baby
Jennifer Hudson - Dreamgirls

None of those roles have anything to do with slavery, being a criminal, or being a slave.

I never saw "Lillies of the Field," so I can't speak on what type of role Sidney Poitier played in it.

Like I said in the Film Room, Black filmmakers need to put primary focus on creating movies that generate high box-office revenue, because that leads to more opportunities for them in the future. Stop concerning yourself with silly award shows, they're meaningless at this point.

Don't the devil get a finite reign then we wake up and kick his ass ?
Nope. We have always had the ball in our hands to stop him. That's just cac doctrine or what ever to keep us waiting. Like we wait for jesus. At any moment we can end his rule with uncompromising unity and purpose for our and only our prosperity. Starting with your own immediate family. Families doing work automatically forms the community to form the unity necessary.

I was referring to Elijah Muhammad's Theology of time. But I agree.
