Funny, considering the South was populated with immigrants from Britain in the time period the movie was based on.

Only places with distinctive black accents that I know of.
I will say it’s easy to tell when a rapper is from Detroit based on the beat selection & the way the flow up there but I’ve never heard of a Detroit accent

So now the pitch is that Tarantino is a "cinematic purist".
It's because Brits don't pronounce "er"

Jamie Foxx is one of five black men in HISTORY to win Best Actor, and you got folks in here saying that he's "overrated" and "got no range".
Thecoli.com yall.
Detroit nikkas have a mannerism to them. You wrote all that for nothin
Now compare this(A real Detroit dude) with that British actor playing a Detroit dude and tell me you don't see/hear the difference

He has the mannerisms of a street nikka. So if I post Eminem, Big Sean & Bizzare, they’ll have the same mannerisms?

Yeah I'd confuse him with a street nikka from Atlanta or New York or MemphisHe has the mannerisms of a street nikka. So if I post Eminem, Big Sean & Bizzare, they’ll have the same mannerisms?
Eminem??? Since when was Eminem from the streets?
What are you talking about Eminem for?What are you saying? You quoted me originally cause I highlighted how terrible British actors are at playing non generic roles like a Detroit drug dealer. Now you over here bringing up Big Sean and Eminem.

Don't know what that dude is talking about. Jamie Foxx is a great fukkin actor. Even as "Steamin' Willie Beamon" he was good.
I doubt he has African American ancestry since his dad is from Sierra Leone. That would only be plausible if he were Liberian.
I think his dad is Aku/Eku group from Sierra Leone. The group is an admixture of the slaves from Britain who were taken back to form a new colony in 1786 (they were called “London’s Black Poor” & they were the first black Brits) & the slaves that were rescued on slave ships after the British empire abolished slavery. Both groups were taken to the new colony called, “Free Town” (the current capital of Sierra Leone).
You can read about the first group here: The British founding of Sierra Leone was never a 'Province of Freedom' | Africa at LSE.
There used to be a Salone breh on here who’s Aku/Eku.
