My life and p*ssy ratio is ok. Now let's speak on the disrespect from the people that refuse to fight.

OK I'll play along with your non point just one time.

Anybody that says anything disrespectful about so called "ADOS" would deserve to get called out. I'm not searching someone's twitter posts over a 10 year span hoping to find some incriminating evidence like I'm the fukking FBI or some shyt. I got better things to do with my time. However the beef is with non Americans playing Black Americans in any movie or show period. Kaluuya didn't say a damn thing when Samuel Jackson mentioned his role in Get Out.

Delroy Lindo is a Brit. Does anyone have a problem with him? :jbhmm: Yes or no?

Brehs, I'm sitting here, shaking with anger, reading through this thread.

Why are these cac movie studios hiring capable, competent, well respected foreign blacks to play American black people? Like, who told them that it was OK? It would never happen the other way, would it?

Far as I'm concerned, unless the actor who's playing Whitney is from the exact neighborhood she grew up in, I wont respect it.

I don't care about the rest of your post. You should have quoted me with the bolded.

Nice way to avoid akata. You feel out black/ african american on the census or job applications? Why or why not? Do you speak this boldly to your akata friends?

IMMIGRANT TETHERS
There’s a why folks like Chadwick Boseman went to study theatre and drama at Oxford in the UK. And if I was a serious actor... guess what I’d at least try to do? Right.
Chadwick? Is that the only one you have?

I can put my life on the line that there's been Brits who studied here too.

and there's a difference between theater acting and studio acting. most theater actors are not good studio actors. that why alot of these Brits look awkward when playing american roles. Americans don't talk like how Brits talk. like they're in a theater....
