shouldn't be so easy for folks to take a positive and supportive response like vivica's and try to pit black folks against each other.

there was nothing snarky or disrepectful about vivica's comment basically wishing taraji the best, supporting her position to speak up, and then saying that she's good and has a different experience.

but a lot of "black folks" on the coli and in social media trying to run with it like vivica was sneak dissing when she wasn't at all.

and a lot of yall either 2000's babies or have short memories. vivica been doing well for herself for a long time now. being in blockbuster movies with a wide appeal (independence days x2, kill bill x2, soul food, set it off, etc) and probably being very smart with her dividends set her right.

i just watched 50's 'do you think about me' video the other day and forgot vivica was in that and "dating" him for a while too. she was definitely an "a list" black female actor for a few.

Yup. Vivica’s response was very respectful, but the internet will transform her response into the total opposite

So yes. Those are C list actors from a talent standpoint. Got it

What point are you trying to make?

Outside of like

Cruise
Lawrence
Downey Jr
DiCaprio

And a few more ain't no damn negotiation or folks meeting your asking price
Taraji needs to holla at Netflix or Amazon, Apple TV, Paramount etc and keep it moving.

You still see A- list actors on straight to vid/low quality streaming shyt

Del Toro
Neeson
Bridges
Blunt
Evans

She better keep it moving. It's like Megan Traynor complaining she ain't got Taylor Swift money

She’s not even that good an actress. She plays the same character in the majority of her projects. What’s the difference between cookie and Yvette? The only memorable role I know from her was hidden figures(and she was still kinda Taraji in that)
I can’t stand that bytch in her roles :mjlol:

Lou Gossett Jr got an Oscar and it ain't do shyt for his career.

Cuba Gooding Jr career after Jerry Maguire wasn't anything to write home about.

That nomination/win is hit or miss
Only for black actors

It’s at least a decade of guaranteed shots at repeated success for whites

Na
Yeap and its why a lot of people will never get ahead financially. They're literally trying to clown Vivica but she's not complaining Abt pay or work. She's doing what she can to keep food on her table. Alot of people's ego is so outta control they'd rather complain about pay they willingly signed then just go to work and make it happen. If Vivica can't get 5 lifetime movies a year taraji can definitely get 10-15 at a higher rate than Vivica but ego won't allow it and that's why I have no sympathy
Being in lifetime movies will hurt Tarajis career
