SELMA' STAR DAVID OYELOWO BLACK BRIT CAN PLAY HARRIET TUBMAN White Actors Don't Get This Criticism.

[HarlemHottie]

The general problem is that Ados have been led to believe they are the top Black people in the world..hence the most special and most deserving. The ones who get first dibs and sit at the high table.

Just as American cacs think they're the top humans on earth, equally Ados share the same sentiments but in a Black context.
This is why there are arguments over basic shyt. Ados see a foreign Black person playing an AA and people are ready to burn Hollywood to the ground. Yet Ados will play countless Africans in upcoming movies and the excuse is well it's fine because those are movies produced by American cacs

This must be what people are talking about when they say non ADOS are jealous of us.

We don't think we're the "most deserving" black people in the world, whatever the fukk that means. We think we're the most important black people in America because we fukking are. Y'all nikkas literally just got here yesterday.

I don't have a problems with this stuff, because it is just play acting. That Englishman actor Daniel Day-Lewis played Abraham Lincoln.

A White English actor named Laurence Oliveir played Othello.

Actor David Harewood, who played Martin Luther King Jr. onstage in The Mountaintop, argued in a piece for the Guardian, responding to Jackson’s criticism, that “[British actors are able] to unshackle ourselves from the burden of racial realities– and simply play what’s on the page.”

Daniel day Lewis is arguably the GOAT actor, horrorable example breh. .

The isn't whether the black Brits can act. The issue is whether ADOS actors are excluded from roles

Some of yall sound as ignorant as whites who get salty over one film with an all-black cast getting put on, as if there arent a dozen films with all-white casts available to watch. African American actors are not being excluded from Hollywood. Is this really what people believe?

 

[ultraflexed]

^^^This.

"B-b-b-but those are American movies" as if that's even the point here.

So if a British production casted non AAs to play AAs, that would be OK? I hate when they move the goalpost and play dumb.

For a UK movie, yes

 

[ultraflexed]

as if there arent a dozen films with all-white casts available to watch.?

For whites there are, for black or #ADOS there aren't. We get like one movie per year, maybe 3 on a really good year wtf you talking bout.

 

[ultraflexed]

Fake outrage

Next the NBA won't be allowed to recruit foreigners because they are denying people at home the opportunity.

Where does it end?

He made the same point I did. White actors are not doing this and they are twice as likely to have foreigners play Americans in white roles than otherwise. Canadians, Brits, Australians, French.

The real controversy with this particular actor is her past statements about Americans.

Yea but for every 100 white movies there literally 1 black movie, so no they wouldnt care they have far more opportunities

 

[ultraflexed]

Whites dont bytch and moan about because they're on code 24/7. The crab mentality in our culture will destroy us

Explained why they dont complain

 

[8WON6]

do any of these people have a history of shytting on Africans before accepting these roles?

 

[SupaDupaFresh]

For whites there are, for black or #ADOS there aren't. We get like one movie per year, maybe 3 on a really good year wtf you talking bout.

An last year the biggest black film out of Hollywood was Black Panther. Set in a fictional African city, starring an American actor putting on a bad accent. Who the fukk cares?

I was really referring to black roles in Hollywood in general as well as in television, to which the vast majority go to American actors. Not that I sit around worrying and obsessing over a black actors ethnic background any way, nor do I see a zero sum game. There will be plenty of black American actors for generations to come, Im sure.

We have a recession that will hit black families the hardest and white nationalist terrorism on the rise and we're worrying about this shyt?

 

[Cadillac]

Get someone that wasn't talking shyt about AAs and this won't be a problem.

this is the main reason that she is getting pushback

how people are twisting this to mean all sorts of other shyt is beyond me

most ADOS would not gaf if that happened, yall can go on and do it, and most of us would not even let out a whimper.

we are tho if not we are def one of the top ones, now get over it and stop being in your feelings because no one cares about whatever group your from

and if you nonados did the same but played our people with African/euro production we wont care. but yall like to tell yourselves that tho
