Caring about where an actor is from literally defeats the purpose of having an actor

The actors aren’t casting themselves, so they aren’t fully to blame. They aren’t going to turn down money out of principle.

Whites dont bytch and moan about because they're on code 24/7. The crab mentality in our culture will destroy us
. I don't care for slavery movies.

In a BBC America interview, Oyelowo argued that having British actors spearhead Selma may have been a wise decision since they dont have the so-called baggage American actors have when it comes to such a towering historical figure like Dr. Martin Luther Jr. Theres something to be said for the fact that we are able to come at these films clean, Oyelowo noted
People are getting mad at this shyt for nothing. America loves to circle around in phases. After a while, this exotic shyt that's now in will fade off, then something new will replace it. Everything goes in cycles man.
The mainstream movie game is fukking GARBAGE right now, that's why there's so much focus on wack ass superhero movies and useless remakes etc.

Like spike said, they’re just better actors...Denzel and Forrest Whitaker are in their 60’s now, they’re classically trained actors.
These new cats coming up just don’t have it. Y’all gonna cast keke palmer to play Harriet Tubman?

Nah, that's not true. Black american people aren't exotic to america anymore like it was in the 90s, so they're now infusing black brits to compensate for that.
This shyt will go away soon. Black brit cinema did really BAD in the 2010s, so they need to train some new talent real fast.

what does this even mean?
my point is that for whatever reason, ADOS actors really don't have the pedigree like we once did
this movie here was trash, but denzel was the only american in the entire film (with a brittish accent)
we use to be the best BLACK actors on the planet...not so much any more.
Lots of white British actors have said derogatory things about Americans.Im quite sure those white actors arent bashing the nationality of the person their playing as

Are you playing dumb? America doesn't care about black america like that right now. Look at the current culture of movies, music, reality shows etc, it's fukking garbage.
