thats great and all if theres enough roles to go around 
Dudes love equating Hollywood with ACTUAL every-man success. You'd be better off studying harder in school. One actor doing a bunch of movies doesn't help most black people. Its important representation, but Denzel didn't have to do Tyler Perry movies to come up.
You can argue Tyler did more for black actors who needed work with dignity.
IDK why we're lionizing entertainers for doing the bare minimum.

She luv it over here like Gold Watch.
I was just having a convo with one of my side pieces .. I said "can you think of one black actor who didn't take on a demeaning or degrading role to make it big in hollywood." We struggled trying to think of at least 3. Denzel is the only one.
If you think of every successful black hollywood star... they had to do some degrading shyt on camera first before making it.
Look at John Boyega... having to play a space slave. Is success worth it at that cost?
shyt is sad.
Examples:
The thing about that is he had to play a villian to even get an Oscar which strengthened his starpower in Hollywood, same with Halle basically having to do bedwench porn to get hers. Both of those are demeaning for different reasons. So while he has never stooped as low as self-emasculation for clout, he has had to play a black man in a negative light for cacs to get these cacs pussies moist by pushing subliminal anti-black male rhetoric.

nobody said a word about tyler perry, weirdo.
Yeah, but Chadwick didn't get opportunities professionally because of Denzel. Denzel paid for some acting scholarships. Thats cool.
But Denzel is one person and ultimately we need to respect systems, infrastructure and other levers of power.
I didn't say Denzel was not influential.
