I mean idk about that but I dont really place someones blackness on if they went to a black barber lmao

What I'm saying is that the code switching toronto lingo and overall behavior dont seem that crazy if you know niggas here lol

Same in Brazil, it's horrible in Brazil. Colorism rampant in their media. Even black figures get casted white or lighter skinned. Horrible

Jeffrey Wright is a living legend.
Ryan Coogler is alive and we're talking about this

It ain’t that crazy in America either. It’s not like Canada is on Mars. You think there’s no code switching here?

All I’m doing is explaining what Saint Aquinas means when he says “Gambino tier blacks”. And I’m sorry bro but a suburban biracial drama club nigga raised by his white mother and a suburban drama club nigga with only white friends are both gonna fit into that bracket

Not saying it makes em less black. Just a different experience

Morris Chesnut dark af and always the good guy & the hoes love him to death

I do agree to an extent with op tho

I just feel like there’s too many dark skin actors for niggas to bring up Tyrese i see the point about actresses though

Lol aight man I feel like you entered into debate mode and my words not getting thru or something and I don't really care ab this so imma give it to you

All im sayin is that drake's behavior doesnt stick out at all as like fake or anything when you know niggas here lol. They saying that gambino doesnt fit the usual mold of a nigga from atlanta, and im telling you that drake absolutely fits the mold of regular nigga from toronto lol

Idk who they grew up around and s***, all im saying is that I have a good radar for s*** like this and I grew up w canada niggas lol

Think this narrative that black people "only" have slave n gang movies is such an old trend n played out argument tho.

YOU only pay attention to that maybe, there are plenty of black movies since late 2000s or at least early 2010s (even in the 90s we had a decent amount but not as much) that hit many spectrums n perspectives.

Get out of that old sterepotype of black cinema, that was also made up by white people.

“ They saying that gambino doesnt fit the usual mold of a nigga from atlanta,”

That’s not what it means bro

Do Canadian niggas also rap w fake southern accents?

Good to see that you're back This site has missed your vocaroos

I think ops argument is outdated for the most part which i explain on in my newest post, but yeah he still has a point to a degree.

But yeah, black women especially dark black women have only gotten really prominent the last decade or half or so. Can be better (and should be better) but still decent/good imo. Also has to do with how we're getting a lot more black directors n writers in the industry.

I feel like if you point out certain "examples" tho to op that goes against him, he's just gonna say those are black leads in movies/tv not "for black people" lol.

I mostly agree with this post but I'd just like to add to it by saying that Drake doesn’t fake his personality his way of acting is literally just the average toronto black kid

Black Canadians are basically just african Americans that have to grow up around white people but that doesn’t make them necessarily white washed (although a lot are) it just makes them really f***ing good at code switching and navigating different spaces even more so than african American kids

Cus black people here still grow up with whatever immigrant black culture plus african American culture basically from childhood

Not to mention drakes dad is from Houston so when u hear drake talk to other black people or use aave any expert can tell it’s natural for him but also when he goes on like ellen and sounds white as hell that’s also pretty natural for him too. He’s not really faking

Especially Chicago south suburbs tbh

He's not wrong

idk if it's been posted but still funny

I know its jokes but on a serious note his movies outside the Madea s*** can be heat n poignant.

Daddies Little Girls & For Colored Women > > >

Idk why but that I am dark skinned and bald kills me every time

I’m not expecting much from the reboot, but I hope they bring back the social commentary like this.
