The issues addressed in Michael B. Jordan’s portrayal of Oscar Grant in the critically acclaimed 2013 film “Fruitvale Station” have resurfaced in recent weeks due to the recent deaths of two unarmed black men at the hands of the police, Eric Garner and Michael Brown.
During an appearance on HuffPost Live Tuesday, the 27-year-old “Fruitvale Station” star shared his thoughts on the string of incidents where black men have been killed by police.
“You really can’t make sense of it. It’s something that I feel like…it’s a touchy subject,” Jordan admitted. “Especially speaking your opinion an actor, as a celebrity, it’s really rough on these subjects because you know how we feel as black men. We know what we know, and that’s what it is. And sometimes you can’t always go out forward with that information.”
Jordan went on to reveal how he manages to strike a balance between being an actor and sharing social awareness on certain political issues.
“Honestly, you have to navigate that way…at the end of the day I express myself through my work,” he said. “When I’m up there on screen that’s not me. That’s whoever I’m portraying at the moment. It’s kind of like, you have to hide the medicine in the food.”
Jordan drew widespread and very vocal criticism across social media for an interview he granted to GQ, in which he said that only wanted to play “white” characters in the future.
“I want to be part of that movement that blurs the line between white and black,” the actor said.
“I told my team after I finished ‘Chronicle’ [the successful low budget sci-fi movie that first partnered him with ‘Fantastic Four’ director Josh Trank] that I only want to go out for roles that were written for white characters,” Jordan told the magazine. “Me playing the role will make it what it is.”
To make things worse, Jordan scurried over to Snapchat and said #ALLLIVESMATTER in hopes of trying to justify his comments. Let’s just say Twitter chimed in and destroyed the Fantastic Four heart-throb.
Jordan was recently photographed leaving a Met Gala afterparty in New York at the same time as Kendall Jenner, and there was a brief ripple of stories wondering whether the two of them were dating, speculation which was dampened by “sources” insisting that the photo was simply two people leaving a party at the same time by chance in the same frame. Nevertheless, it stirred up a little online squall, with those who presented themselves as Jordan’s fans almost universally hostile to the idea.
“It’s the world we live in,” says Jordan. “They see white and black. I don’t. Kendall’s a friend of mine, you know. I don’t know her, like, that well, but I know her enough. People’s perspective on that is what it is. I don’t fukking know. I don’t live my life to make other people happy. It’s so weird, though, right? A lot of black fans were feeling like, ‘Oh, my God, he should have been with a black woman’ and that whole thing. I get it, but on the other hand it’s, like, relax. You know—it’s 2015. It’s okay! People can like one another, not necessarily from the same history or culture or whatever the fukk it is. It’s just the new world, you know what I mean?”
I think its unfair... so now theyre tryna force him into pretending to like blk girls.
But what about the blk women, who find the thought of being with a blk man disgusting?
Ie. Zoe Saldana...
Lol I didn't know that at bold, I bet a lot of swirling bw(and bw who support other bw dating out) count as a win for bw knowing they wasn't claiming FKA Twigs black(shes mixed) before he got with him.
But you right and some black women be hypocrites when comes to celebrity IR(and IR in general).
And the nikka is a good dude. and these women wanna plot to destroy him... over trivial shyt
Will these same women boycott blk friday and Christmas, to send a message, to wht supremacy?
Yet they rather conspire to band together to boycott Micheal B tho...
