"I'm not a rapper, I'm an artist"
"I'm not black, I'm dominican"
"I'm not a black actor, I'm a classsically trained actor"

:youngsabo: when something associated w/ blackness, it's always seen as lesser. But y'all see that's a nikka who act some, regardless of what he thinks.
Associated because of white people. Colin farell is an actor while Idris Elba is a black actor

If true, I hit my I don't give a damn button on what a celebrities say a long time ago. :yeshrug:They are in the business of now and what's appropriate for the time being even if its absurd. For example,

Morgan Freeman saying to get rid of racism stop talking about it. (something along those lines)
Mr. I'm not black I'm OJ.
Kanye, we'll too many to list.
Rappers in the 90s saying they didn't have dark skin women in their videos because of lighting and the camera.

Folks really need to stop giving these people your energy. :francis:

Yo what kind of conditions do they have in the UK? :dahell:Their version of systemic racism must be paradise compared to ours
A breh broke it down a few years ago but basically yes racism exists in the UK but your social class holds weight and makes your race a wash moreso than here.

because we have the capability to run a corrupt imperialistic empire too...

it makes sense eventually we would rise to that level in the system...

even if our starting point was at the bottom.

:yeshrug:

How are you going to go about doing this with how disadvantageous/brainwashed black people are & the crab in a barrel mentality that exist in black communities globally?

Bond producers already made it clear that they want a cac for the role. Which honestly I think is appropriate.

Because Bond represents the UK, its imperial reach, and is a model for cac dudes around the world.

So why would a Black person be the face of that anyway? It makes no sense :mjpls:

Time for a change :manny:

I've never been desperate for a black Bond, I would rather more original black stories

Ask Obama and Colin Powell.

It’s possible. there are easily visible references to look at. Are you asking why EVERY black person isn’t doing it?

I am the poster child for trying to "not see color". I never let go of being proudly Black, but I was thinking that racism was dying out and we could all just exist and be equal.

But I have been awakened to the simple fact that EVERY racial group is on average racist against Black people. And for ADOS FBA (I absolutely do not get into diaspora warz but the terms are usefully descriptive) American Black people, it seems that even other groups of Black people are racists against us.

For me it meant dropping everything and moving back to the crib. With my peops. I couldn't stand cheesing with white coworkers and neighbors knowing they truly didn't think I was a full person.

Idris. The ideal would be great but this Earth may never overcome racism. Until there's only one race (after race mixing reaches it's ultimate outcome. All mix back together into one "race". This will be pretty far into the future from the standpoint of one human lifetime).

But Obama & Colin Powell were puppets with black faces running a white corrupt imperialistic empire. Both are inconsequential.

I’m alluding to your use of ‘we’, not puppets working for white puppet masters.

Bond is a Cold War MI5/MI6 movie. And since there are tons of black people working for MI5/MI6 today - a black person playing it shouldn’t be a problem.

I think the biggest pushback about Idris Elba is that he speaks with a thick East London cockney accent & that doesn’t fit the role, since most people recruited by MI5/MI6 are exceptional students from Oxbridge & Russell Group Unis.

everybody running the corrupt imperialistic empire is a puppet... cacs included

some puppets are at the top of the pyramid... some are at the bottom...

the fact remains... we hold the capability to operate at the top like any other cac
