On Selma:

“People are just tired of being bombarded with race right now,” Mackie said. “So everybody is shying away from certain topics and certain movies.”

Yeah we need to learn from whites and stop being so obsessed with race when no one else is, whites are colorblind and dont make distinctions between the races.

smh at this nikka being cast as Tupac
:pacspit:
"And they saying it's the white man i should fear, but it's my own kind doing all the killing here". Imagine if a black celeb said that right now, everyone would be calling him a c00n and newblack :mjpls:

See how easy it would be? I could call pac a c00n or newblack since that's what people do. They completely disregard everything you've done prior or will do if you say something like that. So i hope you have the same vitriol towards pac for that quote.

Anthony has kept it realer than 99.9 percent of hollywood consistently throughout his career. You ever watched any of his interviews ??

No way I'm going to let one quote negate over a decade of #BlackExcellence.
I don't get the internet obsession with calling every black person who says something you don't agree with a c00n.

I live in chicago and I have 2 sons, and neither of them are ever going to be walking around looking like these dusty dread head niccas with they pants around their knees. If that offends you then add me to the list too. Doesn't mean the cops won't ever decide to bother them, but why paint a target on their forehead ? It's pretty simple.

He's right about Selma, but that doesn't mean that's acceptable. How many war movies they gon' do? Yet American Sniper just did $90M...how about calling them on that instead of just throwing out the reason like that's OK?

His dreadlocks comment is stupid and pussified. Painting locks as the problem instead of the stereotyping is stupid. How about instead of teaching your nephew how to be a p*ssy who's constantly trying not to 'fit the description', you teach him how to handle himself himself in those situations?

Does this fool not know that every black man just so happens to fit the description: black man, 5'0 to 6'8, breathing
