60+ White Hollywood Actors and One Black Actor Pose for a Picture...

You big mad huh?

You must be a blast at parties

Am I big mad at institutional racism?

Tf this gotta do with a party?

I grew up watching all these actors...I was an unwitting consumer of these 80s movies as a kid. At a certain age as a black person, you realize the tokenism or straight up racism (the toy, one of fav movies as a kid) in Hollywood.

There’s nothing wrong with pointing out the lack of representation in what I grew up on.

Actors had so much juice back then. So much more expressive and differentiated you could see that more clearly being the difference from today

People weren't afraid to speak their mind, even if what they were saying was bullshyt or breached the lines of public etiquette. Now, everyone is following a carefully worded script, making sure not to offend anyone and always keeping a pretense of being "woke." The shyt is offensive in its phoniness. Being black, we see through the bullshyt, so it becomes tiresome having to deal with frauds whose fake smiles mask what we already know to exist.

Is that Penny Marshall next to Bob Hope?
