When did it become an issue with Black Actors playing Black Women?

OP needs to be dethroned, because this complaint of his is not something the King of Harlem should be making.

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

That definitely means no one had an issue back then.

They probably thought it was an outlier not yet a trend or pattern maybe they didn’t psycho analyse it until it became more frequent with Tyler Perry movies and Eddie Murphy roles

Am I the only one who feels that in modern times the concept of "c00ns" was dead for years until the 2010s? I don't recall hearing anyone ever being called a c00n prior to like 2013. Yeah c00ns existed during the civil rights era but you didn't hear of them for decades until the 2010s.



Were ppl throwing around the word c00n on SOHH in the 2000s? Were any Black celebrities considered c00ns in the 90s in real time?

Uncle Tom became c00n...

People didn't care back when Martin Lawrence was doing it or Larry Johnson but, as more and more black celebrities did it, it became a trope and people started feeling like it was a humiliation ritual. Like I haven't seen Seth Rogen or Vince Vaughn in a dress yet.

This is poop. Tom Hanks wore a dress, Robin Williams wore a dress. Michael Keaton wore a womans apron. Dustin Hoffman wore a dress. Were they humiliation rituals as well? And I'm pretty sure I seen Seth Rogan kiss another man,

No, it's not. Like I said, black people didn't have a problem with it in the 80s and 90s because it didn't feel like it happened often but, now it feels like it does. Also you named people I didn't name, for one, and half of them are like 60 years old now and thus very irrelevant to 2024. Where are the name brand, A-list, box office draws today that are white and wearing dresses? People like Robert Pattinson, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt would never but, they expect our version of those guys to do it.

There's no A-List Box Office black draws wearing dresses either.

I mean to be fair, how else was nikkas supposed to check the temperature back then

… facts

My guy, i was at the barbershop every 2 weeks when Martin was running. Not a single grown man ever talked about him wearing a dress

People still give Martin a pass

It's false conservatism.
I dare anyone Black residing in the US to try tell me they're a conservative..I don't care how much you hate gays and taxes, you're not a conservative breh

"Conservatism" in the context of America is the reserve and preserve of the White lower, White middle and White upper class.
Conservatism functions only as a White rights, Whites first, White power movement. Anyone Black claiming to be a part of that Klan rally is insane and an irredeemable koon.

You have DNC-induced Tourettes. Social conservatism is a thing and not always 1:1 political conservatism. Black Americans are allowed to both not want their daughters on the pole AND not vote for the Klan.

You have a weird way of boxing us in ideologically that feels... -IST in some way.

Please a lot of the social conservative jargon in Black Anglo world comes from the Protestant nonsense that got shoved down our ancestors throats(pause, no freaky)

Oh, so now Africans aren't conservative? Yes, I said Africans meaning the whole continent. Its so deep that in archaeology/ history circles, it's a given used to explain why there's an apparent cultural substrate that's shared throughout time and space. This explains why ancient Egyptians, early modern period West Africans, and modern South Africans all use the same symbols for kingship (the lion skin). There are other examples, linguistic, naming practices, etc.

In linguistics, a conservative form, variety, or feature of a language is one that has changed relatively little across the language's history, or which is relatively resistant to change. It is the opposite of innovative, innovating, or advanced forms, varieties, or features, which have undergone relatively larger or more recent changes.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't say we couldn't be conservative in the traditional sense..The Panthers were not liberal.
I said that the concept of conservatism in the context of the continental US has been hijacked by ultra White nationalists. It is now their brand and identity.

Hijacked to the point even moderate Whites don't call their fellow White fascists and extremists "fascist and racists" anymore, they just label them as "conservative".
What business does a Black person who is a traditional conservative fit into such a movement?

Sit this conversation out Einstein bruh made a generalization about the past and I did the same.

And you both were wrong, genius.

I guess two wrongs make a right in your world.

You’re so clever.
