[Wesley Pipes quotes]

To be fair, most black MAINSTREAM films/tv shows/music has c00ning.
From Chappelle's Show( even though I respect Dave) to Good Times, most of our entertainers in the limelight shuck and jive. W/ that said, support the positive works(Red Tails, Great Debators, etc).

Dave Chappelle is probably the worst offender in the past 10 years. That's why I side eye the fukk out of him getting a "conscious" and talking this illuminati bullshh. Some of his skits were actually funny, Charlie Murphy etc, but all that race shyt was c00nin.

Yeah I find it funny that that fakkit has ugk in his name. Pimp C used to shyt on redneck wiggers like him on the reg in interviews. I remember the interview where he was talking about not wanting to do Big Pimpin because he had no desire to cross over and appeal to "them."

True
But he did get conscious by stepping away from the limelight.
Best believe if Dave wanted to have another Chappelle's Show, he could, but he doesn't and does his little indie tours.

The only movies white people want to see us in is pornos. PORNOS!!! Wake up people!

White people never want to go see black movies talmbout black empowerment and black social consciousness, but they eat up as much interracial porn and black on black porn as they possibly can. Shows you just what they think about you

I also highly doubt it's simply about money. There are more blacks than Asians and whites LOVE Asian films. Why don't they love black films? Wake up.

I believe its a numbers game primarily but there definitely is racial biases in play. On another note, I want to join the Anti-c00n movement...put me on breh.

Then when a guy like Tyler Perry comes along, who seemed to have potential of making great black films.

I can site thousands of movies where the black actor doesn't die first, honestly thats just a myth.

In saying that, I'm currently watching 'Angel' and guess which colour the only character to speak with god awful grammar is...?

 

[DaPresident]

I can't lie...While I usually don't go for Tyler Perry movies...


the last couple have been good (the non-Madea ones). I thought "The Family That Preys" was pretty good (aside from a few stereotypes) and that "Mr. Deeds" one was darn good as well. Most of the Madea ones (save the one with Bow Wow in it) were horrible.

But seeing as tho Tyler is all we have right about now, I'ma give up the $20-25 for me and my girl to check them out. I gotta support the only "brotha" in Hollywood doing it

 

[Mars Blackmon]

because most black people who work as actors aren't that great anyway. You can watch all black tv shows and see that none of them really stand out.

rarely you will get a will smith and jamie foxx

proof is that rappers have been more consistent with acting than most black actors.


I haven't seen many black actors passionate enough to lose weight like 50 did in All things fall apart


Rza is good too.

There's a ton of excellent Black actors who'll never get their shine or a chance at the big leagues. Like you said seems like most big Hollywood Black actors today either started as rappers or comedians as a stepping stone. The only reason they're getting a shot in movies and shows is that they are "known" so directors will give them a shot over some newcomer. There's Black performers I've seen in indie films that will act circles around rapper-actors

I was watching that George Lucas interview where he was talking about how noone wanted to market Red Tails because it was an all black cast and I was looking at the cast for Prince of Persia and the main cast were all Caucasian. Another thing I notice is the black man STILL dies first in the movies and theirs always ONE black man in most of these Hollywood productions. For example: Look at this poster

Ludacris is the only black man not an extra in the WHOLE CAST. Seriously is up with this racism? They hardly even cast Asians and Indians in their films either.

Then when a guy like Tyler Perry comes along, who seemed to have potential of making great black films, they turn him into goddamn Stepin Fetchit and have him make a bunch of minstrel shows. I just dont understand why they keep perpetuating this same kind of racism in big budget film. It makes me think: Are these white men still afraid of black men? After all the evil they've done, how far back in years they've set black people and all the boundaries, how are they still so reluctant to add two black stars to a film? To me it feels like the only reason they even put a black actor in the film is to not catch any heat. I'm not satisfied with just one black, hispanic, asian, or indian in a film. Thats ridiculous. If anything I want to see a movie of ONLY Black, Hispanic, Indian, and Asian actors and see where that takes them. Asians have made some of the greatest films Ive ever seen yet to see more Asian actors and directors getting work.

On the other hand, maybe this is a good thing. Hollywood is fading while the great filmakers that are still around still make great films. I guess Hollywood movies are still more niched for those typical Americans who dont really pick up on the subliminals. The bottom-line is: I'm tired of seeing Brendan Fraser and Nicolas Cage constantly getting work while there are some great actors of other races and ethnicities trying to get work.

What I was gonna say was that they are all blended, the skin tone is the same, not a single chocolate brother or sister.

It's simple, movies showing regular black folks dont sell, same as movies with asian people.

Think Like a Man is currently at $90 Million with a $12Million budget.

Well, there are a number of successful black actors and actresses and who play a leading role in movies and get great parts. But they are small in number compared to white actors and actresses.

Will Smith, Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman get leading roles in big budget films. They don't make Tyler Perry style movies. The Rush Hour movies have an Asian and a black man playing the leading roles. It's not all racists and things have changed a lot from, say, the 1960s.

Will Smith, Denzel Washington and Morgan freeman scooping up starring roles is all good but where's the new talent? I think it's Marie Claire magazine that has their annual new girls of Hollywood and there's never a black girl amongst them. Young black male actors got it equally as tough because unlike white actors they can't walk into an audition, get a starring role in some teen movie and then be receive massive buzz within the entertainment industry. Look at how long it took for Will and the rest to get to the point they're at now.

I agree with the ugksam comment...fukk that pale face.

about taking the complimentary brother out...why not take him out. We don't benefit from them being in there...with their neutral, not standing out in anyway other than their complexion, asses.
