I get what he's saying. White actors get to be seen as individuals, he's tired of being treated like he's not an individual but some public representative of "the black actor." Most of y'all who have been treated like "the black guy" at work instead of being your own person can relate to that shyt. Imagine how out of line your boss would be if every time he fielded a question from you it was on some, "Jason, as a Black man how do you feel about this product line?" as if your only use was your representation of the black race and not your own skill set?

Daniel has a choice in what jobs he takes tho, no one is asking him about race SOLELY *because* he’s Black. The most well known parts he has taken are racial and invite racial dialogue :manny: the actual real life work equivalent of this would be if you volunteer to throw a MLK Day/Black History Month/Black power party at work and then you get upset because the boss asks you, “Jason, how do you feel about the party?” Ask the boss why he keeps asking you about race, Black history, and MLK leading up to the event you volunteered for brehs :aicmon: because you’re not ‘the race guy.’ Like... nikka you volunteered for this role :yeshrug: and took several checks. Daniel chased Lena Waithe around badgering her to be in Queen & Slim, he didn’t even audition. The movie didn’t hit like they thought now ppl are distancing themselves from ‘the race talk’ :mjlol: ok

What, they should have subjected him to a wokeness purity test before he tried out for the role? And who gets to administer that test? And who would pass?:gucci:

:manny: Black Americans :manny:

Sorry I didnt know yall had beef :lupe:

Whoever it is, that’s a fan sir :russ: I gotta whole squad of em on ignore that follow me around this site and ALL my platforms mad as hell that I won’t engage with them directly :shaq: you posted me so I know it’s somebody mad lol

Edit: Anndddd yup nikkas really have nothing better to do than constantly clock my whereabouts on a message board, fukking weirdos. Come to an event and see me in person next time stans :russell: since y’all gonna watch where I’m at anyway. I’ve literally told people several times they can come see me in person to critique my work/what I do irl yet they prefer to remain anonymous shyt talkers on the internet. I post in BA threads because I care about BA topics, the usual suspects in here stalking and upset that somebody ELSE posted my video, not even me :mjlol: Jealousy is a disease.

True, but you know what comes with the territory as well. It does suck at times, but it's the game.

:deadmanny:

On some real shyt tho...

These muthafukkas be awfully quick to be calling another black man c00ns and shyt.

:patrice:



Suntin aint right.
:skip:
If you have any outside opinions, don't fall in life or speak like you're in an echo chamber you are a c00n.

The diaspora beefs have simmered down as people have reluctantly seen the light but a few agents will not let go (@T'krm @Stacker Pentecost) to name a few.. and are trying to keep the flames burning.
:sas1:
It should go without saying that Black people should have no boundaries and limitation based on race yet we have Black people arguing against this notion. Either the point went over their heads because they are stupid or they are being willfully ignorant to perpetuate the sentiments of division. I understood Daniel perfectly and English isn't my first language.

No she wasn't, this woman is a liar she said Daniel said "he isn't black" he never once said that. this chick has never left USA yet has all these opinions on people from.across the world

This woman in a car with cloth seats talking nonsense

All he said is he doesn't want his race to be at the forefront, and why would he?
You guys keep using this tired cliche

Im honestly asking, if ados travel the world, what are you expecting them to see?:jbhmm:

As a afram myself, whose traveled, all i got was a full scope and scale of how american black culture permeated the world:beli:

seeing nigerians emulate black american culture as a hustle in other countries
Seeing soul food restaurants in tokyo


but im asking you

Also to add

the Big Bang that sparked so called diasporan beefs .Was the idea of ados looking out for themselves and only themselves. Which was an indictment from cultural clout chasers across the 'black people" spectrum

lets not shine light on how polarizing ADos people are to that term and what that means in the last 200 years shall we:mjgrin:

the nucleus of the anti-ados movement in mind and thought and why they refute it at all cost

but i digress:mjgrin:

I understand what he meant, when you only take the headline and not the rest it sound bad.
and that's the point...

it's called click-bait titling

they should be mad at their own non reading asses and lack of comprehension

:laff:

how in the world was that succinct in the slightest. Stop being a coward and state your claim

post was clear i'd advise you to step your comprehension up... if you are mad about what he said then you definitely need to get some understanding
