I’ll agree I dont fukk with Jeffrey Wrights character types IRL but ateotd it’s still a Black experience that deserves to be shared like all the nuanced white characters we see flicks made about.People gonna support what they wanna support at the end of the day. Saw the movie, wasn't impressed. Main character came off like the exact type of person I can't fukking stand.
And maybe a lil bit of all us looking past personal differences and giving Black shyt a chance or support on gp wouldn’t be a bad thing. Thought the movie was cool and well written tho

I mean hes correct but lets keep it 100 those Hollywood producers dont want black folks on screen to be a prism of different masculine characters 
its not just 50 and tyler perry behind how the characters are one dimensional

i’m tired of pro-black speeches from people who don’t practice what they preach. I just want to see if he’s a pawger.
They said that when Black Panther came out. since then we got Snowfall, BMF and a whole Power multiverse.

Before I click play, I'm not trying to get triggered by c00ns/new blacks.
Was his speech pro-black or c00nish/new black?

as well he should, cuz they are both clearly one-trick ponies when it comes to black storytelling.
Must it always be the off white black actors with the "profound" speeches? He looks like the other off white black person, what was his name Jesse something who left his wife to go pawg when his career took off.
Stay frustrated my friend

Some of you nikkas frustrate the shyt out of me.

One can pawg and be pro black at the same time. Being pro black isn't necessarily anti white. All he said was he don't want stereotypical depictions.i’m tired of pro-black speeches from people who don’t practice what they preach. I just want to see if he’s a pawger.

nah, you can’t be pro-black and start a family with a non-black person. you can say things that are merited criticisms of this society, but your actions belie that sentiment if you’re settling down with a partner who isn’t helping you build the strength of the black community.
