both of them sound like weak ass cowards running from blackness

I never heard a black musician running away from blackness... because black musicians are the best in the game

theyre running from blackness because their product is weak

only a weak bytch seeks to integrate..... winners dont need to integrate.

They just word it differently. I'm not rapper, I'm an artist.

He's saying he wants the same job offers that Cruise and McConaughey get
..
instead of being stuck playing bullshyt token roles like Heimdal, just so these movies can point to a black actor on the cast.

Those roles are a waist of his time and talent.

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).
Always thought the "i don't see color" view missed the point entirely. We shouldn't be trying to erase our difference in order to promote equality, we should be embracing and respecting our differences. See color see the whole spectrum. acknowledge what makes people different from you. but treat each other with respect anyway.

Imagine if you took this see no color approach with food, ignore that someone has a food allergy because you want to treat them the same as everyone else would distratous.

Idris been putting in work in Sierra Leone, and is always around the people, some off my loosely know his fam.

The last thing Idris is doing is distancing himself from Black folks.

I see nothing wrong with what he said, no other actors are referred to by their race so why should black actors be subjected to that?

He's also married to a black woman for the idiots who don't know any better

And been putting in big works back home(Sierra Leone)

Here's what I mean:

In the past I'd meet a white person, at work let's say, and if they seemed reasonable at first, I would then freely befriend them.

Now I treat them kinda like I treat pit bulls. I'm sure there are some nice ones, but I don't fukc with them as a general rule, therefore I don't have to worry about sorting them out.
