great interview. I totally get what he is saying. That classical training got them black brits thinking they are better. But again they are cheaper before they make a name for themselves.. Idris wasnt making shyt during the Wire

Samuel L Jackson will retire as one of the greatest Black actors of all time. His work ethic :wow:

Maybe they just want work :ld:? Samuel L Jackson is just hating on UK actors.

Exactly.

Plus this isn't the first time Samuel Jackson has said some underhanded shyt about black folks in the UK, he obviously has some kind of axe to grind for whatever reason that goes beyond just acting. Funny how he hates on a group of black folks who haven't done shyt to him, but he's got no problem c00ning for Quentin Tarantino. Like I said in another thread, he needs to air his grievances to us DIRECTLY next time he's over here instead of whining to jewish radio hosts about us. Is he mad at Don Cheadle or Denzel for playing black brits in previous roles?

Obviously the lack of opportunities for black actors over here forces them to move stateside. If that was that great and this country was some utopia, then big names like Idris would still be here. Black actors over here for the most part get shytty roles by writers who clearly don't know shyt about the black experience in this country.

Besides we have a much longer presence in this country than just "a 100 years" like he says, he needs to check his facts. They need to get Akala or somebody to school him on that.
