He is starring in Small Axe on BBC, directed by Steve Mcqueen.

Based on the story of the Mangrove nine.

Black excellence as always.

Above the fray.
I respect him as an actor.
I feel the megaphone speech at the rally was contrived.
"I'm not sure I'll have a career after this".
That part never added up to me. What he was protesting against was directly in line with what Hollywood liberals were protesting against at that moment.

Again, good actor, and he comes across as genuine and candid in most interviews. Just didn't buy that rally speech.

Understandable, but how many times have Hollywood liberals escaped punishment while black actors doing the same thing are blackballed?

To me he was just acknowledging that more than anything.

You and I are both Black. Police brutality and murder are going be important issues for us until we pass from this world. But for a segment of the world, this is the trendy "movement" to get behind and support
People in the entertainment industry who promote what the power brokers and gatekeepers are promoting rarely if ever suffer punishment or backlash. People who go against the grain are the ones whose careers suffer.
In 2020, speaking out against police brutality and systemic racism isn't going against the grain.

:wow:When see-through "pro black" posters expose their shut up and dribble mentality. Love to see it
Entertainers stay talking about how fukked up it is singing and dancing for "them folks"

Well no shyt. Its not your industry!

Instead of mocking Tyler Perry, do biz with him!

This is what I don't get.

This is what people signed up for. You wanted to play in their world, then here you go.

Agreed it's trendy. That doesn't mean it's insincere. A lot of people yell in the darkness for change but it often only happens under the right circumstances, and by someone with the right charisma. That's just life. If it moves the dial in our favor I don't care who the messenger is.
