Spike Lee's going in on Black Brit actors

[Family Lives Matter]

Nah it's best everyone built their own lane like Nollywood

Don't have your hand out on some pan-Africanism

That mentality should die

SMH

Broke people stay looking for hand outs whilst sucesfull blacks all around the world take theirs.

Stay on the internet posting ADOS hash tags and being broke hope it works out for you

May the best man win. 90% of people only go into the industry for the clout/money and could really give a shyt about the actual craft involved. At least the big British actors have that true from stage to screen background. If anything black actors need to step it up like they did in the 70s which lead to all the household names we have today.

Idk about all that but I’d be curious to hear why Keenan wayans and Robert Townsend just stopped for no apparent reason. The game is now entirely ran by big capital so it’s going to be a dog eat dog world.

 

[Concerning VLoLence]

Nollywood actors for most part have no money

Also you expect people to make a nollywood in a white xountry? I can tell youve yever travelled

I was told British actors loved the craft way more than the money

Just returning the bootstraps advice you love to dish out

Practice what you preach to others remember haha

And I've been to more countries than you

I can tell by the way you type simple english

I don't know why the feelings are hurt so bad in this thread

How do you know l'm broke? Because l'm ADOS?

I'm not on national geographic nightly

Please refrain from stereotypes when living in glass houses

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Honestly don't care where an actor is from

 

[SCJoe]

I've never seen anyone give receipts that AA actors don't go to acting school

Can you prove this? Or just talking out your ass like usual about AA culture

Like l said these people in here are merely consumers not producers

Hurt feelings think they know more about the movie industry than Spike Lee

Out of my ass about AA culture like usual? example?

 

[King Sun]

Yeah this is some ignorant shyt

No reason there can't be a contemporary NEC like they had in the 70s.
You can shoot a movie with an iPhone 7 and get it in festivals these days. There was one that actually got sold about transgender women in LA.

Spike Lee is an idiot, a hater and he hasn't made a movie worth watching since the mid nineties
fukk this dude and his ridiculous outfits

 

[Knicksman20]

As long as the role's going to a Black person & not a white washed mixed breed being passed off as Black (having 2 Black parents) then it really doesn't bother me. I can see both sides of the argument though

 

[ahomeplateslugger]

there are talented actors everywhere. this is just a silly stance he's taking.

i don't agree with spike's comments and this comes off as fake outrage to me but blakkklansman was a great movie.

AA Culture as usual, 90% of people, top British actors. . If only there was some sort of collection of information online where you could validate people's backstory. An encyclopedia for people of some sort.

 

[Wear My Dawg's Hat]

Chiwetel Ejiofor was in a spike Lee movie before

Yup.

The very British Chiwetel Ejiofor plays a black American NYC detective alongside Denzel Washington
in Spike Lee's film, "Inside Man."

 

[Wear My Dawg's Hat]

What is today's equivalent of the Negro Ensemble Company?

Or do we rely on the rap industry to provide a reservoir of African-American acting talent?: Will Smith, Ice
Cube, Queen Latifah, the late Tupac, Ludacris, Ice T, LL Cool J, MC Lyte, Common, T.I., Bow Wow, 50 Cent, Method Man.
