Daniel Kaluuya is an intelligent dude

[null]

Why he gets hate on here I don't know (jealousy?) but every interview I see this dude in, he seems like a smart breh.

breh is a very talented actor . one of the best young breh actors out there.

that look he gave t'challa in BP

Actors reject roles all the time for various reasons

That's what the illuminati wants you to think.

Once you make the blood sacrifices, you take and reject whatever role they tell you

How else are they gonna afford to keep everyone thinking the Earth is round? Maps cost money.

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

this dude is the biggest p*ssy on this site.

and yes

he is a c00n.

As pro black as you are--like, that's okay with you?

That, plus you got Spike and Ava saying they prefer English black actors.



This is why I don't really look forward to supporting their movies; I'm contributing to American black actors being replaced as they have for atleast the last ten years.

Bascially, American actor don't work hard enough. Cool. Cool. Cool.

And we were called crazy when we pointed out the amount of them getting roles over Americans.

That's cool. Just don't go around calling us xenophobic or--worst--c*ons.

I said this before awhile back but criticizing British actors for playing American figures rings hollow when prominent African figures were played by American and or British actors. Forrest Whittaker won an Academy award portraying Idi Amin. Denzel before Malcolm X was Steve Biko in Cry Freedom. Idris Elba was Nelson Mandela. Leon played a Jamaican bobsledder and he's Afro-American. The right person for the job is someone who can deliver an authentic interpretation of the historical figure .

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Even in a thread to give props for a Black man someone likes c00ns have to c00n as usual


U dudes so gawt damm pathetic

 

[Swagnificent]

The hate he gets is from American blacks who think folks like him are stealing jobs that would/should have gone to African Americans. Unnecessary hate.

No. He just looks like a p*ssy. And I don't respect pussies regardless of ethnicity. See Dwayne Haskins.

And any African community that took issue with other people portraying their historical figures have more than the right to do so. Your logic is saying that South Africans should stfu if they had a problem with Idris portraying Mandela.

If he is bored of talking about race, why accept a role of a Black American hero who fought for racial equality for Black Americans? Just like that African girl from Britain who bashed Black Americans and claimed we don’t have a culture. She doesn’t know Black American culture and history but plays Black Americans like our beloved Harriet Tubman in a movie that was historically inaccurate on top of that, which I’m sure she didn’t notice because she doesn’t know our ethnic group’s history.

From not being represented in our country at all, to being represented by whites wearing Black face, to finally getting representation but it’s a mammy or c00n, then it being turned to light skin only, then biracial only, to being represented by Africans who moved to Britain. Black Americans are tired and just want proper representation for ourselves in our own country, just like I’m sure you want in yours. There should be nothing wrong with that.

Not at all because they were American movies made for Americans by Americans in America. They aren’t flying us out to Britain or Nollywood to pretend to be African, they are hiring the Africans there, even if the character is Black American, and that’s fine bc it’s their country and their movie and most like not many Black Americans there.

And stop with the bullshyt that British actors are better.

Both of your posts have just been pointless garbage

This is a MOVIE. IT IS A MOVIE. IT HAS A SCRIPT, THESE PEOPLE ARE ACTORS PLAYING A ROLE, what in the actual fukk

This is not, I repeat, REAL LIFE

If they cast the net and dude aced the audition and was the person they thought could ACT THE ROLE the best, then so fukking be it

We're all black here why create uneccessary divisions? Your argument is so weak I could break it down even further but it would be pointless

Clearly this is a sensitive topic. My view is that we are all black with a common enemy. This man should not be getting any hate from any black person unless he was out here living offensively. Dudes just making a living. And the American powers that be who are choosing him for their movies are doing so only because he plays the character they need him to play well. After all they’re not making movies because they have nothing better to do. They’re trying to make money on their investment. I assure you they’re not picking him because they think less of African Americans. If there was an African American who plays a specific role better than Daniel and who was willing to accept whatever compensation they’re offering I’m sure he’d get that job instead.


let’s just stop hating each other for frivolous things.

 

[ApolloStark]

And I don't care if it's a film about a historical figure or a marvel comic hero...

Who is the best person for the job? End of (obviously that's subjective but that's on the producers, not you)

Harriet Tubman and Fred Hampton are real people, not fictional characters. Black Americans deserve to be properly represented in our country by ourselves. Not by people who are not us, do not understand us and constantly disrespect us. Much like you are doing now.
