SELMA' STAR DAVID OYELOWO BLACK BRIT CAN PLAY HARRIET TUBMAN White Actors Don't Get This Criticism.

[Northern Son]

Those were American films

No, many of these films are co-productions between countries (Invicta and the Whoopi movie). And the doctor Will Smith played is a Nigerian AMERICAN . Will Smith is in tune with the Nigerian American experience ?

I’m all for superior actors getting the best roles, regardless of nationality. As long as it’s believable (actor is black).

^^^This.

"B-b-b-but those are American movies" as if that's even the point here.

So if a British production casted non AAs to play AAs, that would be OK? I hate when they move the goalpost and play dumb.

Only reason there is backlash is because she said some shyt about ADOS. Nobody really has a problem with Brits(African and Caribbean) playing ADOS roles.

This is a lie.

if there was black british production teams would we be having this conversation at all? for them being such "superior actors" why arent they thriving back home?

You tell me?

I said British productions, I didn't say black british teams and I never said anyone was superior so I don't know why you're coming at me with that.

 

[DaRealness]

This is a lie.

Of course it is.

 

[seabreeze80]

Her background isn't the reason for the controversy. Her tweets and her history of shyting on black Americans is the problem. Why are they not discussing this? Why are they acting obtuse and only mentioning her ethnicity when that is not the reason for the uproar? If Lupita was cast, no one would be upset.

 

[African Peasant]

Black Americans are now expandables.

It's an effect of globalization.

The general problem is that Ados have been led to believe they are the top Black people in the world..hence the most special and most deserving. The ones who get first dibs and sit at the high table.

Just as American cacs think they're the top humans on earth, equally Ados share the same sentiments but in a Black context.
This is why there are arguments over basic shyt. Ados see a foreign Black person playing an AA and people are ready to burn Hollywood to the ground. Yet Ados will play countless Africans in upcoming movies and the excuse is well it's fine because those are movies produced by American cacs

The best black actors should play these roles so the movies can be as good as possible

The nationality doesn’t matter .

Oh believe me, I'm totally aware of this. I've seen those same sentiments pretty much spelled out word for word in this very forum.

I know what it's really about despite all the juelzing.

 

[gtj1982]

Lots of white British actors have said derogatory things about Americans.

Yeah dudes on here think white people are magic. Ive been contemplating making a thread about it. Some of them don't even realize how much they be worshipping white people while trying to dis us.

Well said

Alot of these ignorant nikkas on here feel entitled to everyone else and what they have, at the same time want most everything reserved for them alone. Very audacious attitude that makes no sense. Probably have horrible lives offline, you can tell by the attitude.

When I see you in these threads I'm always gonna remind you that you are South African. You seem to forget that whenever you get on your high horse.
