If your career depends on whites then your career will always be vulnerable because you're a "conditional" celebrity to them. That is how well you're doing is dependent at any minute on the current opinion they have about you.
Which is what I mentioned with Will Smith. Who spent decades trying to please cacs like a fool. Not realizing that they never liked him or any other Black actors.
And your career only succeeds as long as cacs want your to be their token Black actor. Because the minute they decide otherwise you're done. Which is why Black people need the financial means to hire their own in big budget productions.
So they don't have to decide to be tokens in mostly white productions like Viola, Angela, Elba, Damson, Chiwetel, etc..who can act circles around most cacs but don't get the opportunity to fully dominate them because cacs don't want to be humiliated
As for Denzel et al they're statues or mannequins because they can't be anything or do anything lest they offend cacs and get destroyed. Which is a horrific way to be and exist and not what Black people should do.
They should instead attain enough financial power to say and do as they please for the furtherance of Black interests without consequence.
