We were talking about Black films and wyte films while browsing Netflix. I told her that me and our older sister were trying to watch this movie called Boy Bye featuring home girl from the Steve Harvey show and the Game (Malik's mom), but it was really stereotypical and we couldn't get past 10 mins of it. But then I'd watch a whole wyte film the next minute. Don't get me wrong, there are Black films I love, but the problem I have is the acting.
This made me realize something that my grandma has talked about, my mom has talked about, my aunts and uncles and god siblings...wyte people are phenomenal actors. I enjoy a lot of wyte films, not because of the plot because most are pure bulkshyt, its because wyte people have this wonderful capability of being someone they aren't to the tee.
I think we have a good amount of Black actors, but often I notice that some cannot really get into character. This led me to the same conclusion that many have already gotten to: they make the best liars, cheaters, heroes, lovers, and thieves in cinema because their gift is emulation.
Which reminded me that most of them have a child like nature to them because as the rest of the world was already evolved, they were still in a primitive state. They are adept learners, which explains why they often do their best to know you, learn you. Their gift is also a curse; you can emulate all you want, but holds little weight when your true nature is finally exposed.
For those who don't care to read I'll just say that:
Wytes are great actors.
They are phenomenal at getting in character.
Often, they do not show you who they really are.
Black people, in my opinion, are excruciatingly raw and honest which is why when I see a Black actor, I see just them, not who they are pretending to be. We are the transparent ones, because it's in our nature to be who we are.
Just my thoughts...after a little discussion with my sister.
