FWA too. They losing roles to Brits and Aussies.
This is what happens when a country ignores the arts.
Nah, it all counts.
I'd rather an FBA, won't lie, but they tryin to sell tickets and Damson got some starpower.
Like others said, Don Cheadle's version shoulda been better.
I hope this isn't another hollywood biopic fluff piece though. tired of these joints skipping over the not so great aspects of people. Tell the whole story.
Not for me.Nah, it all counts.

Exactly. This why I can’t respect it. It’s hypocritical and mfers are crybabies. Like this never happened…
You ain’t gotta respect…. The movie will bomb because Black Brits can’t really interpret African American heroes/icons…..
It ain’t like American nikkas went or Nollywood to play Africans… Yall so full of shyt
Those damn tethers, stealing #FBA jobs
Nah, let me tell you why this is different......

Exactly, but sadly I don't think that will ever happen, hell even documentaries gloss over the bad parts.

Man I'm from East Africa and even I don't know how Rwandese accent in English is supposed to sound like due to their colonial history. Had no problems with the accent because he did look the part though, which is rare for a person with WA genetics.

It doesn't change that he is half Grenadian. Going by what I see here and Twitter, that is enough to put him in "tether" category by a certain set of people. I don't because I'm not trying to bring hostile division within the African diaspora. That's white supremacy shyt, imo

Yes he was…
He was like the third or fourth best character… nikkas loved Jerome… Rooted for Leon.. Hated Teddy… and wished they had a down bytch like Louie…. Franklin is barely a top 5 character and he was the lead
This. Ain't about to read nikkas crying about this decision.Don Cheadle had his chance
Trump, A non FWA, changed his policies to fast track Boers into this country and you simple minded FBA nikkas are fighting over a damn movie role.
Again you are denigrating an entire half of his family. His own mother, you would demean her, but then think you can separate him from that and prop him up?! Nah. Again, he would spit in your fukking face
As would Carmelo Anthony. As would Fabolous. As would Jim Jones. Etc etc. Talking about some ‘FBA upbringing’ and you got a KONY name. Ok go to some “FBA” hoods in NY and talk that shyt you on. Go to Brownsville or Harlem and say fukk Haitians and fukk Guyanese and fukk Domincans. You’ll get sent back in a box. fakkit
Yall nikkas excused every damn thing Franklin did in the Snowfall thread yall loved him so much. Now he aint too 5.
