“If you aren’t American and come here to play us in movies don’t talk bad about us in interviews”

Also, nationalism- which is something that affects Europeans more so than Africans- is very similar to tribalism. There are many nations within various African countries and if they were divided as such then we would be calling them nationalists instead of tribalists.

Exactly. The whole concept of "nation-state" is born in Europe when they wanted to align the "state" with the "nation". People confuse "nation" and "nation-state" now, but back then it was much clearer that "nation" meant a homegenous group of people -with or without a formal existence- on a certain territory, speaking the same language, having the same overall culture, etc. Which is exactly what a "tribe" is. There's a famous saying in Italy : "Fatta l'Italia, ora bisogna fare gli Italiani" ("Now that Italy has been created, we have to create Italians) which shows quite well that nation and state seldom overlap and that modern countries created new nations. Same in France. Indeed, there are many nations within African countries, which leads to "tribalism", which is really nationalism. If Catalunya were in Africa them wanting their independence woud be called tribalism, same with Flanders in Belgium.

They kinda are.
Even tho Boyega was foul for recent statements, he was upset about what Sam L.Jackson was saying about British blacks playing ADOS roles.
At that situation alone, what was he supposed to do? Not take advantage of a muti-million dollar film series? If anything, blame the film producers and cast finders.

This statement is not what this thread is about.

Boyega said in Nigeria he Is only going to train Nigerian actors.

However when peele wanted to cast a AA for the lead in get out, he got hit with complaints from african brit actors with the "aren't we all black" sh#t

 

[Kasgoinjail]

They all sucking dikk for roles anyway

Is there an article about this?

 

[How Sway?]

Fake outrage.
He never even said anything disrespectful

Tone and yvette are snowflakes

 

[Standing on business]

Even they followers ain’t with the nonsense

I don't think this is about him. But, who knows...

Pinky and the Brain have to be the most miserable people on the planet.

So what if theyre not american? Thats the entire point of acting. Name me 4 brit actors that have talked shyt about american actors?

Nollywood doesnt have ados actors because nollywood is a complete joke. No trained actor would do nollywood.

So once again whats the issue if theyre not born in usa?

If Nollywood is a joke why don’t they stay their expertly trained acting asses in Nigeria and build Nollywood up into a institution that is respected? If they are so good why do they need to come here?

Even they followers ain’t with the nonsense

A lot of people latched on to the ADOS movement once reparations became the main focus

but the ADOS discussions started from them pointing out the xenophobia from black immigrant celebrities

 

[FreddyCalhoun]

What did Cormega say?

This should go in the rafters...With no explanation....

 

[xCivicx]

Batman was British, Spider-Man was british, Superman is British

Wolverine is Australian, white people don't care about this shyt lmao

White is white.

Black Panther is a black american playing an african who comes from a place with no white people lmao

No African complained they celebrated the movie

when Ali went to Africa, they didn't say get this light skin nikka outta here, they celebrated him

when Floyd Mayweather came to South Africa they didn't see get this american outta here they celebrated him

only you c00n ass low self esteem negropeans think the way you do

European countries spent centuries practicing nationalism fighting eachother. They still practice nationalism in Europe to this day

Not only that, you just named a bunch of fictional chatacters to attempt to make your nonpoint

Harriet Tubman and MLK arent fictional characters

Your post is kinda trash

 

[xCivicx]

Because why should nstionality matter? Hating on another black man because of where he is born

Yet it matters both in africa and the islands

Yall are really getting bold with the disrepect of fba

The only people studying acting in Nigeria are Nigerians. It's not like you have a bunch of black Americans flying to Nigeria to study under Boyega and he won't allow it.

You nikkas are jealous of what amounts to charity work Boyega is doing in a country where the GDP per person is less than $2000 a year.

You hashtag nikkas gotta be the most pathetic group of people on the planet Earth

See your wrong
#ADOS doesnt see a problem with this...HOWEVER

When we do the same in our own country for our own people ....we get hit with the "we all black" card

Fyi: the average black family is worth 1700 in the US

Again purposely missing the point and conviently redirecting it

How are you gonna be upset at what Sam said, claim the Pan African mantra “we all black” then turn around and do what you told him not to do for yourself

If we’re all black, boyega would suggest training ALL blacks for one

TWO: it’s never a good idea to talk shyt about your targeted audience, especially if you are acting out their martyr. And then demand respect from them. This never works

Certain people are making Pan africanism look like a psyop


I don’t care if a Nigerian plays an AA, I’ve said it 3 times

Just keep your aKata spewing thoughts to yourself
