- Thread starter WakandanPride

IF THEY HAVE 2 JAMAICAN PARENTS
YOURE LYING THROUGHT YOUR TEETH.
They have a better system over there, all British actors come over here and take rolesSpike and Samuel are 100 percent correct. Us ADOS Americans don’t go to the UK and steal their roles.
Good shyt spike.
Don’t blame the actors blame the USA system
It’s peeles story to tell and nobody else’s
If he wants a foreign breh to tell his story that’s his business

Concerning VLoLence
Banned
Afro-British don't even research before they make this claim
They just retrofit statements white British make about white Americans onto AA
Thinking there is a one-to-one ratio between us because we both live in white countries
If a Director says you are a cheap hire then that's what you are.
A quick and random search of AA actors:
Steve Harris - from the Practice (Eugene) and a few Tyler Perry movies is a classically trained actor (Northern Illinois University)
Wood Harris - Avon from the Wire is a classically trained actor with a Masters degree in the field (New York University)
Angela Basset - Yale
David Allen Grier - Yale
Courtney B Vance - Yale
Keith David - Julliard
Viola Davis - Julliard
Corey Hawkings - dre in Straight out of compton is julliard trained .
Rutina Wesley - julliard trained
Nelsan Ellis - julliard trained
Brian Tyree Henry(Paper Boi)- Yale School Of Drama
Trai Byers(Empire)- Yale School Of Drama
Hill Harper- Brown

THESE ARE AMERICAN MOVIES.
ARE YOU DENSE?
So Chadwick can play T'Challa because Wakanda isn't real and Will Smith can play an African transplant in Concussion that was based on a real person?

This thread is terrible. As a British black man of Jamaican & Nigerian descent, I find this whole diaspora divide extremely dumb. You think a racist white person (American or otherwise) gives a shyt where I was born when they wanna call me a ******? 
As already highlighted, a lot of British black actors come to America for opportunities because the roles that are available are typically shyt unless you’ve got pull like Idris or Lennie James. It’s not like these British actors are shyt and people are only hiring them because they’re cheap.
And this ADOS stuff needs to stop. If you’re of Caribbean descent, you’re a descendant of a slave, if you’re of African descent, you possibly could be a descendant of slaves. There were plenty of black slaves in the U.K. and they faced the same shyt that happened it America and black people as a whole have only been “welcome” in the U.K. since the 50’s after Windrush. The oppression olympics shyt is boring.

It’s weird that people still don’t understand that slavery wasn’t exclusive to America. The entire Caribbean is a collection of countries consisting of slaves and runaways. Freetown in Sierra Leone was a City for free slaves that came from America and the Caribbean. Are people from Freetown not qualified to come to America and be actors just because they were born and raised in an African country?

Nobody knew Idris or even any of these white actors were Brits until you hear them in an interview
If the performance is on point while I'm watching the movie that's all there is to judge. I didn't see Get Out and say DK shouldn't have gotten the role. What would an American have added to the movie that he couldn't? He was great
Saying they come cheap isn't even that accurate. Once guys like Boyega, DK, etc get their name up they won't be cheap. A studio could get unknown, small time American black actors for cheap too. I'm happy to see black actors put on great performances in diverse roles regardless of where they're from.
