Is Mike Epps c00ning With This One or Nah?

[GMOGMediaTV]

Bresha Webb is too old to be playing a teenage daugher lol. Why the hell did she accept this role?

Anyhow, these types of movies are quick to get financed and made in Hollywood. Just look at Ride Along 2 and 50 shades of Black coming out this January.

Jewish owned Hollywood studios love to see Black people in non-threatening roles making a mockery of themselves. Nothing new here, The status of White Supremacy continues to be maintained.

We comparing Viola Davis and Michael B to Mike Epps? Yall do realize people who fit sterotypes exist right? Mike Epps is a goofy,loud nikka from the hood,who talks about doing drugs,strippers and other ratchet behavior in his standup. a serious actor like Michael B Jordanand Violetta should regret always being asked to play this role

Bruh I ain't comparing them to Mike Epps. The point was..even the most elite & famous black actors find a hard time getting decent roles in Hollywood.

Even Mike Epps I don't think always wants to play that same nikka which is why he has expanded on what types of roles he's taken as of late....But that don't mean he should be ashamed to play a goofy nikka from the hood when that's who he is. Yall basically want people from the hood who relate to Mike Epps to go unrepresented,if Mike Epps style of comedy wasn't real it wouldn't be funny,and he wouldn't be popular,and he wouldn't have been around for as long as he has.....I'm not sure why yall would be so shook of stereotypes being reinforced in a movie for black people,as if black people don't know black people like Mike exist,have people like Mike in they family,live around nikkas like Mike,or are Mike themselves.Only explanation I could come up with is nikkas are ashamed of what white people might think,when white people aren't the audience...Or that some people in this thread are too uptight,ashamed of where they may have come from,or hate the hood and many of the people in it,for simply being who they are and different from you.

In this day & age is anything not worldwide tho??? You not going to the chicken shack to buy a DVD no more. nikkas everywhere is streaming the same movie wit 1 click. Yeah we all know goofy nikkas like Mike. But goofy nikkas like Mike tend to be ignant too & here the ignance is in worldwide display. BUT this is more than just tryna appear uptight for white people tho. Comedy is subjective. So people always gone debate what's just silly shyt, buncha nikkas horseplaying & what's just ignorant. For me them planet of the apes & ebola lines to a African is straight c00nery, whether white people be watching or not. Some of ya'll gone disagree, some others gone agree. It's opinions end of the day.

The only problem is when this is the ONLY role,and only type of movie in Hollywood for black people,but I haven't seen a movie that looked this hood in a long time,and folks are being phony pretending this is all we see in Hollywood now ?maybe straight to dvd we see a lot of it,but that's about it....We talkin bout the same Mike who walked off set on Lee Daniels who was trying to get him to do some c00n shyt he was uncomfortable with....he's not uncomfortable being himself and shouldn't be.

You right we ain't had a big hood comedy in a minute. But it's also fact that we still predominantly boxed in them 1)prison/drugs 2) goofy sidekick 3) slavery roles. So I guess any time I see a black production (even from a goofy nikka like Mike), I automatically get my hopes up for some shyt wit more substance. That whole gold digging overtly ghetto female yelling "WE RICH!!!!!!! WE MADE IT!!!" shyt? We seen that movie before...many times.

 

[Wacky D]

im not diggin the ape joke. they better have let michael blackson get his chit off on epps after that.

aside from that, its just a cheesy parody movie, by the looks of it. and its most likely going str8 to dvd. no need to call the NAACP.

 

[Osmosis]

too many c00ns on this board

 

[AmenhotepIV]

That ebola joke wasnt funny

at a c00n walking off another c00n's movie set over creative differences on how to c00n. fukk Mike Epps. It's not about being ashamed of what white people think, I'm ashamed for other blacks to see his c00n ass as someone to look up to. Black like Mike Epps naturally fitting certain stereotypes doesn't excuse whites propping up blacks like him as the representative of blacks. He's a c00n comedian and that's why he gets put on. He should be called out and not supported if he's just going to reinforce negative stereotypes for cheap laughs from non blacks. It's the same thing the Wayans are doing now.

fukking hell, bruhs. I feel embarrassed just having watched the trailer

So you think this movie is for non blacks?What about this movie says that,the zero white people in the trailer?

It has to have something to do with white people if we are talking about good "representatives" of blacks....If in a black movie,we need "good representatives" to remind BLACK PEOPLE that all black people are not the same,and there are many representations of us,then we are truly fukked...If anybody can prove this is a movie intended for a white audience,and has them in mind at all, I could agree with yall,I even kindve see it on the Marlon Wayans movie based on past flicks he's done....But I've never seen a Mike Epps standup,joke,or movie where he seemed like he was trying to get white people to laugh not once,or where he was trying to crossover to white people....not seein that in this trailer either.

To think of all the classic black movies,and tv shows that would amount to c00ning based on yalls definition,Then again nikkas did say Martins show was c00ning on here....seems like many of yall are paying no mind to the audience and the intention here....Now if nikkas bring they white girls with em to see this,that shyt don't count...nikkas was bringing they white girls to see Selma

Bruh, whites are the number one movie goers in this country by far. ANY movie released by Hollywood has the white audience in my mind. The movie is actually co-written by a white woman So just think about that while a-kee keeing at the jokes. Yea it's an all black movie..............that's built around nothing but popular black stereotypes which just happens to be the only time white people are comfortable seeing blacks on the screen.

Mike Epps is a c00n/buffoon. His Cornish/buffoonish behavior makes white people laugh. He's not Kevin Hart but he's done pretty well in Hollywood. He's constantly working. He's already crossed over. What do you mean "trying"? Here's what you've got to understand bruh. Holluwood never produced anything just for us. Even the entertainment that is geared toward our audience also caters to whites as well. You see these black shows/movies produced/written/produced by whites and think that they don't have the white audience in mind too? Come on son

A lot of the shyt is c00ning Martin did a lot of over the top buffoonish/c00nish shyt. That doesn't mean that it wasn't funny. Plus Martin came at a time when Cosby/Different World and all that was still airing on national primetime TV, so there was at least some balance. While Martin did act like a buffo at times, he never did anything as blatantly c00nish as this Meet the Blacks shyt. Do you really need to see anything more than the Planet of the apes and Ebola jokes to know what this is? What's c00ning to you?

That whole gold digging overtly ghetto female yelling "WE RICH!!!!!!! WE MADE IT!!!" shyt? We seen that movie before...many times.

I suppose it could be found by white people worldwide same way Friday was on some classic shyt,I'm not ready to assume this movie will be classic or have that kindve impact though...This wont get much marketing,so any white people finding it was probably already watching BET or worldstar,which is out of our control....This forum is more worldwide,and the audience is more mixed than the audience for this movie will be,but I believe mostly black....Should we not be joking around,or toning it down,because of all the white people who post here? If we don't put on a better representation, are we failing black people and c00ning like certain articles I've read about the coli might suggest

What I will say is I've personally seen Africans get joke worse than the ebola one tossed they way growing up,we all know the famous ones....Maybe I lack empathy just because I've seen Africans give it back as good as they get it...If he makes a joke back about Mike being a crack baby,or being broke...I'm not going to get upset about Michael Blackson downplaying the crack epedimic or poverty in the black community,because I don't think that's his intention.

But I guess just like fat,darkskin,lightskin jokes not all of us will take the joke lightly, and some may be effected by it...But this is comedy,and it is Michael Blackson and not some random African

what stereotype? jews RUNNING hollywood? shyt's true. jews are largely over represented as actors, producers, directors and the OWNERS of media networks. why would they shyt on themselves? you cant even utter the word jew without being blackballed.

I like that dude but he really did come in this thread trying to play victim and downplay black stereotypes that perpetuate racism and its overabundance for decades.

It reminded me of this facebook conversation where some white chick tried to get black people to shut up about racism by saying that everyone gets mistreated and made an example of how she used to get teased in high school.

A black man shut her down by saying "i cant take you seriously when you're trying to compare black men and women dying at the hands of racists to namecalling".

Each and everytime. Seriously white people should just stay the fukk out of these convos if they gonna pull this shyt. They dont want to listen or learn they want to have the spotlight on them all the time.

 

[Unknown Poster]

So, lets compare the two negative stereotypes:
Black
1-drug addicts
2-killers
3-thieves
4-always mad
5-sexual deviant
6-stupid, and no education
7-Are ugly
8-poor

I can go on and on, but you get the point.

Jew

1-Afro(another dis to blacks)
2-nose
3-socially akward
4-Cant get women

Now, you tell me what are really negative stereotypes, and what are "negative stereotypes".

Yes I do believe there are movies made with us in mind,the small budget and difference in marketing and marketing dollars says as much,lack of theatres it plays in,shytty time slots etc.

A lot of our classic shows had white writers and producers too,so I'm not sure how we enjoy any of these classic movies and tv shows if this is your stance....c00ning to me depends on the audience,how many movies have you described as a "black movies" in your life?,if you never described a movie that way then your rare....Most people do acknowledge movies to be black movies,and this is as black of a movie as you can get in terms of who the intended audience is. Plus you don't think theres balance now?primetime tv is still lacking , which is why Empire being the hit it is,is just?But movies I feel like have been pretty diverse,probaly more diverse than when I was growing up,and blacks have gotten a wider range of representation.

And besides just the audience,c00ning also depends on that gut feeling you get,Ive had that feeling in a couple Wayans brothers flicks which is why I worry about his......We'll just have to wait and see,i might get that feeling during this movie,but the trailer just didn't do it...I just saw two black people exchanging jokes that certainly aren't forbidden in the black community among each other,whether u think its right or wrong.

What you did there is called FALSE EQUIVALENCY due to the difference in history & context of black people & whites in America. Or more particularly, how black people was treated throughout the history of film & media, as well the negative consequences of black stereotypes. This was that "but but but crakker is as bad as nikker" type comparison.

Even setting the race shyt aside, if you just looking for a throwback to some golden age non-PC black comedy.....the shyt just looked dated corny cringeworthy low budget buffoonery to me. But hey comedy is subjective.

He really did pull out the "white people do it too" excuse.

Forgetting that white people created hollywood own all of the studios are the majority of the producers and directors and own all of the media companies so they can control their image. We cant and never did.

This thread will die. c00ning on Camera lives damn near forever. It's a horrible way to keep cementing stereotypes and carrying those stupid ideas forward for generations. The posters in here could never do as much damage as dumb actors who sell out in flicks.

I mean this.

Whites in black face were playing the c00n stereotypes 100 years ago...and black folks are playing them now keeping them alive.

People really need to read @ridedolo 's post about the history of anti black stereotypes a couple of pages back.
