I guess we aren't going to mention how Hollywood and the media is portraying Dr. Omalu ?

He's a very handsome elder Black man... Looks like my granddaddy....a round teddy bear type

The history that is currently being written is that Dr. Omalu was 6 inches taller, slim and trim, and light skin.

Damn they fukking with history long before the witnesses are gone...

Pick Will Smith, one of the most well known actors in the world and guarantee box office success and profits, or pick some unknown actor which will guarantee a flop and lost money. Tough choice they had. :mjlol:

You are telling a story about NFL negligence...

Hell you could have used Forrest Whitaker who is the same age range and more of a physical match, and still had box office success

There is no legit reason to go with Will Smith for this role....

Put a dollar value on colorism brehs...

I hope those dollars are worth it

It's also a fukking movie which costs millions of dollars to produce and the money must be made back. Are you really that stupid?
If you care so much perhaps you should fund your own movie using actors with the same skin tone and not worry about getting your investment back. :mjlol:

Also by picking Will Smith,the issue will actually become well known which will likely lead to something being done about it. Compared to if they had picked some unknown actor which would've lead to no one seeing the movie and the issue disappearing. Use your brain woman. :francis:

That in itself is a problem... You complacent Uncle Tom....

It shouldn't take the "model negro" to raise awareness about an issue that affects athletes... The majority of whom are Black.

Forrest Whitaker is not unknown...

Djimon Hounsou is not unknown...

And incredible story can be told without whitewashing..,.

To say our story can't be told by people who look similar to our my people is pitiful... And yes if I had Hollywood money, I would fund movies written for us, directed and produced by us and played by all of us...

Not just the model minority, fetch and step of us

Who said anything about him being a model negro? anyway, what's your problem? They're both black aren't they? Are we now going to divide black people by skin tone?

I'm guessing they hate Will Smith now because he made that movie with the white chick? This is what this thread is all about isn't it? Of course she will deny it and say she doesn't care who Will Smith fukks but this random hate says otherwise :heh:

They still love Zoe Saldana and Kerry Washington though :mjpls:

notice how they used the word "legend" so some would subconsciously think of will smith's other movie and get people to be inquisitive of it.
marketing at its finest...

but you should be a little happy that it will get that man's life story out and those who are truly interested will research and see how the movie raped his true image :manny:
