Most Black actors up until the mid 90's were from bougie backgrounds and often ran with a bunch of cacs.
Cac directors think all Black folks are from the ghetto and usually hire the bougie Black actors who overdo it for hood roles.
Because they didn't know shyt about Black folks and have no respect for us as humans, cac directors weren't looking for subtlety, nor did they really know the difference.
So that's why most Black movies up until the 90's had really c00nish performances from Black actors.
Vanessa Williams' performance as Keisha under the direction of bougie ass Mario Van Peebles is a prime example.

Robert Townsend spoofed all of this shyt in Hollywood Shuffle. The whole movie was based on real shyt.

Solid post. I was just ranting about this the other day how some actors are a little too extra with what is perceived as how a black person should "act". Robert has an entire bit in his comedy about an English director telling him how to "be black".

It absolutely makes sense. That was Kareem bringing the bank tech to the drug game. Remember he was the IT guy

Man PLEASE that tech wasn't widely available like that in 92. Let alone 1 man to install all of that shyt. It's more believable that they actually took over an entire project with like 8 people.

Are you trolling or didn't pay attention to the film? It was mentioned IN THE FILM, he had a team of people setting it up

And some credit cards had magnetic strips during the 80s. Look at when RFIDs & magnetic strips was invented & who used them. A financial institution is definitely the place to have them. You do know, at the end of the day... it's fiction

Dumbest nikka in the movie by far was Kareem Akbar why was he just sitting in the courtroom chilling to have Nino snitch on him nikka I would've been in Jamaica somewhere fukking on the beach with four bad hoes:mjlol:

His sister willingly testified, so he was there to provide some support…..I assume :manny:.
