He's a working actor, so I wouldn't say he's been given multiple Oscar bait leading roles like the above. After Marvel he'll probably be financially secure to do more well-regarded independent films.
Idk about that he’s been in multiple movies that have been nominated or won Oscar’s . Million dollar baby , the hurt locker , notorious, then he started the marvel stuff . As a black male actor he should have been given roles that others have probably given . And honestly he’s versatile enough I can mentally stick him in a role for a black or white man and he would fit . Why has he got a Bourne identity? A Django ? A fast and furious ?

He probably could explain it better if he marinated on it a bit, ponder on the thought

It’s kinda incomplete

Again, he wasn't the lead in any of those films, and even if you want to say Notorious that film wasn't well received in its day. Even then with the Oscars you don't just need to have the performance of your lifetime, you've got to be better than hundreds of other performances.

Look at the NBA. There are millions of young men around the world who are NBA level. If they aren't seen by the people who can recruit them, they'll never make it into the NBA. They could have the genetics, they could have the talent, but if they aren't at the right place and at the right time, they won't get in.
I gotta push bacc on this one

Any adult who is NBA ready will absolutely be TORCHING regular ppl not in the league. It literally wouldn’t even be close and it would not go unnoticed

There are only a certain number of people they can let into the NBA. It's mathematically impossible for them to review everyone's footage or travel down to see them.

Right now there's a 17 year old who is absolutely dominating somewhere in america or France that is a local celebrity but hasn't gone viral or gotten to the NBA.

It’s very true for white people. They don’t earn shyt, they are giving opportunities that their unqualified mediocre asses shouldn’t have.

Meanwhile black people has to earn their success by jumping over thousands of hurdles to get to the finish line and even then, the mediocre mayo people always changing the goalpost. The fukk is he talking about? :what:
