Black Culture is the new black.

Indeed. And dragged them kicking and screaming all the way to the studio no doubt. I'm sorry if I don't have much sympathy for multi million dollar earning actors who complain of tokenism.

Usually the bitparts who complain of tokenism

I dunno about that lad. It's not AAs have huge control in the industry in Hollywood; there's much more leverage in the argument of Hollywood inclusion of AAs as tokenism tbh

"Black culture" in america is pretty, well, ****. I don't see why she thinks it's something worth protecting, also "muh privilege!"

Who let you off of tumblr? Do you pay much attention to film? There are big names in Hollywood that are black actors. Morgan freeman, Samuel l Jackson, Denzel washington, Jamie foxx, Halle berry, chiwetel ejiofor, idris elba. I feel pretty sure that in terms of demographics in the US(I know the last two are British) that black people are pretty well represented in big roles. And how about Spike Lee as a director? These are just names off the top of my head.

Hmmmm...? Mind describing the "****" part, please, thanks. But 1st do you even know what black culture in America is anyway?

I have a general idea, do educate me

Aaare youuu...arguing that blacks do have control in Hollywood? Yes there are black actors but they in no way have any control or hold in Hollywood? Wow people go off impression soooo much Tokenism? Do you know what that means? It means basically affirmative action: "let's throw a black person in so it doesn't look racist." Then those black people like Tyler Perry find a crawlspace to blaze their own trail. Note that the people you listed are all 20 yrs in probably at least, each of them, and then the two overrated black actors from UK. 20 yrs in and overrated alluding to : no new wave of rising black stars. With civil rights leaders having few orgs in media and politics overall, they prevent further disenfranchisement of blacks (NAACP, Black Caucus and just constitutional amendments in the US that overall protect rights ).

Bahahahaha, you do realise that no one in their right mind respects Tyler perry? He doesn't make good movies. I find it hilarious you think he's a good example. The actors I named are generally quite good. 2 of them are around 40. That's not that old. And 2 in their mid 40s. And did you bother to read that I hadn't looked properly? You expect me to remember every actor?

Overrated? Do you want to talk overrated? Samuel l Jackson. He's overrated. Jesus Christ. He's typecast. Has some good movies but as of late he's played very similar characters which don't show him to have the same talent of much better actors. I'm pretty bored of him tbh. He's nowhere near as good as most people think he is. Idris Elba has a wider range than him. He's a much more convincing actor. What have you even seen him in? The wire? Luther? Pacific rim? Mandela?

What do you mean by control? That's a very vague term.

Firstly, I didn't say old as in their age, I mentioned right after (I admittedly did edit a couple seconds after posting and you probably didn't see it) that I meant old as in their career, 20 yrs in the industry is OLD if you know ANYTHING about it, because coming in over 26 is rather old to them, they feel it won't appeal. So they keep giving the same black actors roles instead of bringing new talent, that would be tokenism or affirmative action. And you keep mentioning the same people over and over, I said OVERRATED to support the FACT that TOKENISM (learn it) blocks NEW talent from coming in unless they play a slave for 15 minutes. And I mentioned Tyler Perry because he is actually richer than great white actors though he is as bad as you claim so get over it He blazed his own trail was my point. Anything else you wrote is irrelevant so I can't really dig up anything to say to respond to it But if you're not black I take it you're disgruntled and are fazed by the very few and redundant black actors you can name.

You don't know much about actors. Please stop. You're embarrassing yourself.

Ok. so was this article written by somebody who hates whites because they pick on him and saying "ha! **** you, you have OUR culture!"

Afro-Americans speak English and follow the Constitution. Unless the English language and constitutional law came from the Gambia or Cameroon like their ancestors did, then whose culture are they following?

According to you.

no.

black women are the most supported by the white benefit system.
no matter how irresponsible a black women is. no matter how low her income is, no matter if she is unemployed or cannot care for the children she already has, she is still able to have more children and have the government pay for it.

first thing though is a black man has to pay for it. and if he cannot? he goes to jail.

the black women is never punished for not being able to afford having children. but a black man who has children he cannot afford is thrown in prison.

black women use the police to discipline their black partners by repeatedly calling the police on them and trying to use violence.

black women are never held responsible for their actions in the way black men are.

the American economy is able to compete with sweatshop labor in Mexico due to the amount of black men in their prisons. women make up nothing of the prison population. thats just women full stop yet alone black women.

whens the last time you heard of a black innocent women being shot?

yes black women are oppressed. but no where near as much as black men.

the white system uses black women as an operational device to snare more black men into the ranks of forced labor in prison.
