Naw, there are still a lot of young American Black actors in NYC theaters and colleges.

He act as if majority of American Black people are just randomly packing up their bags and going to Hollywood on a dream. And this is farther from the truth.

These idiots use no fact and only stereotypes.

what are you disputing?

what I’m saying about funding and training is fact.

just because good black American actors exist doesn’t mean they are gonna get cast or have a better overall resume.

Y’all don’t respect the art. Y’all like “they couldn’t just find a black American girl to play Whitney” when that’s not how it works.

Hollywood is like any other industry the more credits on your resume and the better your training the more opportunities you will have.

You trying to turn this into some ADOS shyt but it’s LITERALLY happening to ALL actors in Hollywood.

but I’m Wrong for telling you it’s one way when you want it to be another.

what black actor should have got this role?

To act as if British acting schools are better than NYC acting schools is pure asinine and stupidity.

What you're saying have no truth and is just pure ignorant stereotypes.

I was kinda understanding your point but you just lost me again.

You’re conflating coli jokes with how we really feel about the craft of acting.

Im not even up on the acting/theatre field like that, but I came up reading Amiri Baraka and Walter Mosley plays.

Black art has always been highly respected among black people.

Our actors (the ones that was prevelant before they started throwing rappers and singers in movies) are all classically trained.

I suggest you check the resumes of all the black actors from the 80s through 00s, you might learn something new.

The movie studios are openly racist and refuse to cast ADOS in ADOS rolls why the fukk cant yall see this :mindblown:
why would they do that though?

I just don't see any logical reason or what would cause them to conspire against ados actors.

these british actors could most likely just be killing these auditions

Hollywood is ran by Jews they hate us because we're the real Jews not them we're Gods people not them. They were behind the slave trade and white supremacy wake the fukk up.

The Brits only get the roles because they’re cheaper than ADOS actors and are just happy to be here, safe negroes.

They literally came here and destroyed the market for us.

Only way it’ll stop is if we stop supporting it, but too many nikkas is caught up in that “we all black” bullshyt.


Lol this gotta be it because at this point it's a trend

MLK, Fred Hampton, Aretha Franklin, Harriet Tubman and now Whitney Houston being played by British actors/actresses

usually they look for someone who can sing and act for these types of roles. so she probably just had the best audition.
can't hire someone to play whitney who can't even pretend to sing well.

It’s hard to beat out brits because those people having acting school and they develop people. They don’t do that in America

yeah, I'm sick of these pretentious posters using this as a reason as to why brit actors are getting historical ados roles. I'll admit, at first I thought it was because they were cheaper, but I'm not sure anymore.
and then after that, they use the "Brits have certain subtlety in their roles" argument. it's all about the ART. whatever that means.

at this point, there has to be something going on behind the scene...
