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

[get these nets]

So you agree with the concept of white supremacy then? Is that what you're saying because thats why the concept of race basically came from. Have you ever done any research to find out the history of race or who came up with that shyt? To me, it sounds like you have a hard time accept the fact that you like millions or billions of people have been duped. I'm sure a lot of people would freak out if we found out with proof that the bible was a fictional book. As I said, it's a concept because theres no legit scientific proof that it's real.


But obviously since we live in a world that treats it like it's real where societies have been built around it, we have to treat it like it's real. Even when we dont, we are forced to. Lets keep it 100, nobody was born into the world knowing that shyt. We found out from the world around us and had to adapt to the given situation.

There are physiological differences between groups of people, sometimes along racial lines. Including susceptibility to diseases.

The racism comes into play when people use scientific racism to establish hierarchies of those groups of people.

Black people and celebrities always have to bring up their race and struggles in so many interviews. Whereas someone like Bruce Willis or Brad Pitt wouldnt even get a question about race in every situation. shyt gets tiring, and old. Dont forget who you are, but we shouldnt have to talk about the struggle all the time.

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.

You basically are indirectly doing the same shyt the creators of race did. You should read up on the history of race. I just think you like many others dont want to believe it and thats understandable. It's hard to believe what people can come up with and how bullshyt can become for real where it becomes a life or death thing for silly reasons.


Obviously, saying shyt like what I said is risky.

This is the evil of racism and stereotyping. It’s the dehumanization process. When u become defined solely by one facet of urself thats the beginning of the objectification process.

We live in a world that MAKES us have to emphasize our race. People act like blks just magically up and decided to be racially oriented. In a perfect world none of this shyt should matter. We would just have pretty unique darker features and that’s it. It’s insane to discriminate against entire swaths of human groups based on something as silly and arbitrary as the curl pattern of their hair and the color of their skin.

And fukking yet that’s what whites have done so here we are.

I totally understand what he is saying but the world makes that all but impossible to do. His sentiments aren’t the problem. Him saying them given the historical precedent is b/c he is ignoring a lot of reality.

The other part to this is that he is still caught up in the matrix by even feeling the need to address his race in this way. No other group feels that it’s necessary to diminish themselves to be something else even tho whites have more reason to do so seeing as how they are responsible for so much bloodshed.

And yet, only minorities have this cognitive dissonance where they think they have to choose between race and any other defining aspect of themselves.

Strange world. I feel him but I don’t think he’s aware that he’s still playin within the constraints of white supremacy by even feeling the need to divorce urself from parts of urself you were born with.

Exactly. Their British -- UK films/movies and TV series. That's why his ass RAN to America -- putting on our costume.

I'm not ignoring anything. I read the same thing you did.

I live my life daily - the best way I can - and to the fullest extent. Yet, I know the reason why I am able to do that -- and I know that my Race, history and people still are apart of my day to day -- and life - every facet. I am not consumed by it - I am made up of it -- therefore I am always aware and ready.

I am all about strong Black relationships -- and do not support IR - but that doesn't mean two Black people are FOR Black people -- or respect, revere or support all Black people.

Or don't have bias, bigotry or xenophobic beliefs/behaviors/attitudes against other Black ethnic groups. Again, this man stating that is a slap in the face -- and therefore stop accepting roles that centered around our lives and stores -- cause we can't go in and out of being "Black." "Black" meaning Black American -- not skintone/race. We are both -- PROUDLY.

Like my BIG cousin said.... add Daniel to the list. Talking shyt about not wanting to talk about Race -- but his very reason for running over here was because of RACE. But, he won't say shyt about it nor FIGHT for roles there. A whole fukking clown.

You said he didn't get any roles in the film's he mentioned. He mentioned those film's and shows because he was in them. You're misunderstanding what was said. For example, here he is in Skins. What are you talking about.?All the things he listed were things he was in, back in the UK.

So he got work but all British actors want to come to the US even with success in the UK because Hollywood has a higher pay out ceiling and reach. Regardless of race. A lot of British white actors who put on American accents are working. Watch the wire and Battlestar Galactica. Half their actors are British. It's just a bigger market that all actors across the world love to access.


Also, I'm not going to deny the influence of media but some of you folks are really obsessed and over emphasis the importance of entertainment. Personally, I prefer black Americans to portray black people in the US as it's hard for black Americans to get jobs as it is without having to compete with people overseas. But at the same time these are ACTORS. They act. A character doesn't have to be who they are in real life as ideally the goal should be that they do a good job in portraying a character through ACTING.

The fact you didn't comprehend he was listing things on his resume back in Britain tells me you're just reacting instead of dissecting logically what the dude is saying or didn't read fully what was in this short article.

 

[newworldafro]

He's defined by it when he stays trying to get that "Black" American role though.

Yeah. You should tweet that to him.

I understand what he is saying.

"Who is the spokesperson for white people?"

We're entering a period, where the resources to produce cinema/TV are are no longer dominantly in the hands of whites/Jews. It's a different period, and we are quite prominently steeping out of those "handcuffs". Its a interesting thing for him to say, with the back drop of so much black media in the Western world reaching new heights and levels of sovereignty.

Just looking at that clips. What is he wearing? Who is he trying to protray? Looks Black American to me. But, oh well.

He was casted to be the BLACK dude.

I don't care about what white actors are doing - they are not auditioning for roles that are created for and tailored around my ethnicity and people.

Again, the point is don't audition for AA roles and and AA historical figures if you don't want to talk about race or being Black in America and what comes with it.

This smokescreen you're using doesn't refute that there are differences between groups of human beings.....along what are known as racial lines.

Listen, whether it's created or not. It's here and it is very active in our experience, culture and history in this country. And it every other country on this planet - including majority black ones.

But race doesnt exist as in scientific, concrete proof shyt. It's a concept. Thats the point. You're making something that isnt real real. What you are describing in terms of dfferences is variation of humans through different genes from environments and etc etc. That's it. Otherwise no proof of actual race unless you are referring to the human species

I hear your point, but wouldn't that open him up to "you can't speak for US, so stop trying "when he expresses a take that people disagree with?

 

[Pazzy]

Listen, whether it's created or not. It's here and it is very active in our experience, culture and history in this country. And it every other country on this planet - including majority black ones.

Obviously and a big part of that is because all the countries in the entire world except for 3 have been colonized by Europe and white supremacy is a part of colonization. Of course that shyt gonna be active.

But of course, in order to kill or counter white supremacy, you have to know where it came from and why it exists.

 

[SuavePrince]

Hmmm

okay Daniel

What could you possibly say to a black man that thinks like this?
