This! It’s just ignorant to ignore everything we are doing as a culture just as a means to push a narrative 🤦🏽‍♂️

So I guess MBJ, JDW, Gambino and many other isn’t doing s***? I guess Issa Rae doesn’t have a highly successful show that’s been running for some years now? I guess Anthony Anderson and co. Isn’t in a prime time hit show that’s been running for years?

Do we need more representation? Of course. But why we s***ting on the folks who are winning?

Lakeith and Daniel is arguably two of the best male actors currently in Hollywood amongst ALL races but yeah let’s stop casting them for roles 🤦🏽‍♂️ 🤦🏽‍♂️ 🤦🏽‍♂️ you niggas really need to proof read your threads before posting them AND have a moderator approve of it.

This point would apply slightly more if you were talking about dark skin actresses in Hollywood

On a somewhat unrelated tangent, I ain’t really feeling Lakeith as a VA in Yasuke. I’ll reserve full judgement until it’s out, but based on the trailer... he sounds very amateurish.

Also we disrespecting black directors too? So Ryan Coogler? Spike Lee? Barry Jenkins? Regina King? Ava? Terrance Nance? They just doing nothing huh...it’s only Jordan Peele out here apparently

Damn why y'all pouncing on Op like that

weird how you can’t embrace black artists when nobody says “are leo, brad & johnny the only white stars in hollywood?” not to mention that your question is complete bs and makes no sense.

Stans, doesn't change reality

this is so strange man so many black directors are getting shine rn. The talk isn't even on Peale that dominantly and hasn't been since Get Out. Like bro has 2 movies...

everyone else already came through with the actors. a lotta brothas winning and getting shine. Like damn we living in a time where black men could potentially clip both actor Oscars this year and a whole great generation of great peers backing them. Boyega right there too with a recent award winning performance

odd too cus Coogler been making moves recently. Got the Disney deal for TV content, BP2, Production work on the Hampton film (directed by Shaka King - another black director to look out for), Space Jam and Creed series.

so many moves being made and dudes thinks Peale is the sole focus? This thread is amusing man

U know it’s bad when Rosebud ethers you in a matter of seconds

Also please realize what OP is doing is passive aggressive racism.

No it's not. Anytime someone is remotely critical of anything that has to do with black people or culture y'all do this, and get defensive or have this mentality where someone tryna tear black people down.

It's corny. It's offensive, actually. I don't need constant reassurance or defending of my blackness or black men

Lmao bro you’re purposely lying saying you sick of seeing the same black face in “every movie” yet YOU offended?

And then when everyone tried to educate you on the many talented black actors making moves your response is “stans, still doesn’t change reality”

dude is lost

There are like 5 other black actors nominated for this year’s Oscars alone lol

People are just calling out your idiocy

Lmao and how you using Daniel and Lakeith as examples when them niggas barely be getting lead roles

Could’ve used 2 time academy award winner Mahershala Ali instead
