Trying to tell you this brotha doesn't fit the mold of what Hollywood wants to showcase of black men.
He's too Alpha male looking and that kind of appeal takes away from actors of the dominant society. That's a threat.
I remember telling a partner of mine around the time Iron Man came out that White should've been Rhodey because he resembles the comic character alot. Can you see him towering over Downey? They can't have that.

Exactly that is what it is about. The dude is talented but Hollywood is not about to make black action hero's unless they are ambiguous jokers like Vin diesel or the Rock or black dudes with huge following like Will or Denzel. That is it.

Becsuse he allegedly talked shyt about black waitresses and bw turned on him in a heartbeat. But they were the same ones were praising Halle for ditching bm and tuning in to Scandal but thats none of my business. :sas2:

What I have never heard that shyt. I swear there is a rumor about every black entertainer that he either hates black women or is gay or is both.

However I did hear the story that years ago someone in Hollywood tried to hook him up on a blind date. He went to the date and it was a white women. They next day he told the person that hooked him up on the date to never do that shyt again and that he does not date white women.

Thats why I said ALLEGEDLLY. There were many variations of the rumor thst was published in Ebony but there wasnt anything that was substantiated.

But it flew like wildfire and evey bw, specfically the older ones, who speaks of Snipes speaks of him in disgust.

I don't see what the big deal is fact of the matter is, dude has overachieved. Black Dynamite and Tyler Perry have helped him keep from almost total irrelevance. While I think he is a good actor he does not have the X-Factor that, Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, or Wesley Snipes had nor does he have the acting ability to man a AAA franchise. His Martial Arts is terrific and it's not like the dude is lacking for work, that's more than most Black actors.

for real. why the fukk is ANYONE caping for michael jai white other than michael jai white and his immediately family?

seriously, michael jai white? that's the guy you're gonna make a thread and complain about? :mjlol:
