:usure: I wouldn't bet on that.

really wouldn't either..

Only five actors I could say had a real career after Star Wars
Ford, Jackson, Portman, McGregor, and Hamil

Hamil wasn't established before SW like the others...
Portman somewhat disappeared along with McGregor...

So out of those five.. Ford and Jackson are the only one's to really have a good post SW career :manny:

I wanna say Hamil too.. but I dunno is the Joker for 20-25 yrs enough?

Y'all see why a lot of people choose not to ride for black people? Because we don't stand together.

Whites
Latinos
Asians

Rarely are so quick to throw eachother under the bus, if ever.

Dude spent the last year praising blacks, gave his hood a shoutout on the red carpet, hit white with the :umad: all last year and second he says something that can even a little bit interpreted as "c00nish" (even though it wasn't) y'all throw him under the bus, call him a tap dancing c00n, talmbout Hes a sellout etc.

Y'all claim y'all like seeing nikkas make it, but y'all don't :ld:

Y'all like seeing nikkas fail, y'all hate seeing nikkas winn because it makes y'all feel insecure/inferior seeing another black man win.

Same reason why y'all was seriously debating about whether to boycott MBJ over NOTHING.

Crabs in a barrel. For real. For real. I see that more and more everyday. The majority of nikkas hate to see their fellow brothers Win.

What's the point of putting yourself on the line for your people, if when shyt hits the fan your people throw you under the bus the same way the other side does?

Point is there were people that looked at him funny after those comments and rightfully so.

I'm not saying he was on some malicious shyt, but he did fukk up and he knew it. Hence the clarification the statements, which def smoothed things out.
I know that. I wasn't even contesting that, so im not 100% sure what we are discussing. I just know he was coming off winning an award and he was greeted
with complaints and he said one of the worst things a black man in his position can say, cause we have seen it before.

It was his mistake and he got on top of it, but it doesn't change that this is a HUGE lesson. He has to walk the line of not rocking the boat and tanking his career, meanwhile
he has to speak to his people cause many of them want to see him succeed because they know black men aren't getting these kinds of breaks that often.

Iunno, its whatever. I wasn't tripping off of it anyway.

A pure African lands a major non-JarJarBinks role in a Star Wars movie and theColi wants to crucify him because he's not playing Black Dynamite in that mega franchise.

Oh he also is his own man and speaks his mind. What a monster.

We do need to stop complaining, especially since all the complaining is because cacs don't pat us on the head and tell us "good job". He was talking about us doing stuff for ourselves which many of us on here say, but as expected there are a lot of emotional responses here.

:childplease: stake this shaming shyt and shove it up your ass. Black people as a whole don't get a gotdamn thing from him being "on". He's certainly not above criticism because he shouted out his hood. If you think that what he said was c00nish or worthy of criticism then make that argument. Don't come in here tryna shame folk for having opinions that you don't agree with tho.

Why does it have to be about what you get out of it? Why can't it just be "let's be happy for him?"

It's always about what nikkas can get out of somethings which is my point.

Hate to see nikkas make it, and y'all won't admit it.

All these broke ass nikkas with no careers wanting some young promising kid with a bright future to sabotage millions of dollars to stick it to the man eventhough yall same tap dancing nikkas show up every monday to report to yours :dame:

There's a difference between being a c00n / uncle tom and playing the game to get your money.

Don't even quote me if you gonna quote me with some nonsense. The kid got giftwrapped a role that will pay him millions if he plays his cards right and Coli nikkas mad because he's not telling Jews and Whites to die.

I can tell yall nikkas run no businesses. If you're running a business or in a high profile career, race and politics are two conversations you should never be having publicly.
