DANIEL KALUUYA SAYS HE IS BORED OF TALKING ABOUT RACE: ‘I’M NOT DEFINED BY IT’

[El Bombi]

Discussing my community/people is not the same a discussing race with white people. Who do you think is asking Kaluuya all these questions he's tired of?


Yeah, either reminding yall how I was right or tryna warn when you're entertaining some bullshyt or being crybabies


Case in point: Y'all get mad b when non-"ADOS" speak on our behalf Yet here you are, MAD that Kaluuya doesn't wanna speak on our behalf

WTF are you talking about

 

[Low End Derrick]

i dont think people are mad that he doesnt speak on our behalf. its that he doesnt speak on his own behalf. hes british as well as black is he not? he recognizes how hard it is being a black actor in the uk, he takes roles about the diffuclties of being black in the us, yet, he doesnt want to talk about what it means being black in this world. why?

lol I got your neg @*DalMem* how am I a c00n? The floor is yours breh.

 

[killacal]

Cool. I’ll bootleg that Fred Hampton movie.

I wouldn’t want it doing well so he gets more roles about black history and more black questions.

She isn't , no where near. Outside of England no one knows this girl in other countries in uk.

However she does have a respectful and large platform where she interviews people whilst eating food

Oh ok I thought she was like the face of hip hop based off what he said

I mean we got Rosenberg but nobody claims him because he sucks

 

[K.O.N.Y]

nope

it was people migrating twitter bullshyt here.. cooking up narratives and generalizing people.

if you look for problems you will find them



like I said look at peoples motivations.

I'm fighting Black division and you are fighting me for it

Literally before any anti immigrant sentiments were expressed, Ados was looked at as divisive

Theres no net benefit for you guys so you try to smother it. Lets just be honest here

Kevin Hart isn't constantly bombarded by race questions because he's a comedian who doesn't rely on race based humor for most of his act and his movie/tv roles.

If you don't want race within your interview then don't do race focused roles.

Hell I remember when Denzel was promoting He Got Game and was bombarded by all types of basketball questions during that promo run.

They will ask you questions related to the role you play is what I'm saying.

this post should have been the conclusion

Since when did black people start using the word "militant" as an insult?

Last I checked, Malcolm X, Fred Hampton, Muhammad Ali and even Martin Luther King Jr. were considered "militant"...

major difference, they actually lived to the title and did their shyt.

alot of mothafukkas play militant online but yet stay quiet as an obedient dog in real life if a white person says nikka.

with that being said tho, i do agree Kaluuya sounds stupid. He keeps taking these roles but doesnt want to be defined by race. Can't have your cake and eat it to

 

[Cadillac]

Black people constantly publicly shytting on other black people they disagree with has become a big business

thats life, everyone shyts on everyone for disagreeing with them. nikkas doin this aint special or unique

He has taken 3 roles based on race

3 roles out of over 20 movies

Simple...

The people asking are the white media

You gain nothing talking about race to the white media

UK racism is very different to US racism..

You can live in the UK, and not notice it thinking people are just 'stuck up' then land in the US for the first time and get hit in the face with a sledge hammer of racism.

No one outside of the uk would know this dude until he started taking race based roles is the point. He didn’t gain international acclaim until he played African American roles centered on race yet he’s bored of the race discussion is why his comments are being critiqued.
