[The Only BLACK Kalmyks]

this is pure mess

He's gone to Twitter to explain where he's coming from with the statement but the gorls are tearing him to shreds

He's definitely wrong in comparing being an actor to an architect - especially in terms of race.

Acting is one industry where your race/ethnicity can actually be a deciding factor on whether you get a job and it's perfectly legal

As in, someone can say "I'm looking for a Black male lead actor for this movie  " and it makes sense because it's a STORY being told and the persons race/ethnicity plays a huge part in the VISION of the story.

However , hiring someone as a marketing executive .... Only thing that should matter is their skill and experience with marketing .

Same for architecture - which is the example he used  . I don't know the race of the person and people who built the building I live in. But I know it was built well, it hasn't  collapsed on me since I've been here and that's all that matters . They were skilled.

He clearly hasn't thought this through and/ or has a very difficult time articulating the reasoning behind  his statements .

I think a lot of people are having flashbacks to days of "I'm not Black, I'm OJ."

It's one of those things where even if this person means no harm at all .. which in this case I don't think Idris means any harm and doesn't need to be crucified...

There is a history of people doing and saying these things with a lot of anti-black underlining ...

 OJ Simpson probably being the most famous example .

I'm not personally outraged but i can understand the side eyes and knee jerk reactions to the comment .

yes everyone isn't OJ which is what I kinda said in the post u just quoted.

But sometimes it's about understanding why people react to things a certain way luv. Just Adding one or two more dimensions to our thinking

OJ is one example but it's not unheard of in general.

"Girlfriends" even had an episode where they touched on it . Like literally touched on this Idris situation specifically lol

Joan's famous actor boyfriend at the time was getting dragged by Maya for being spotted in an interview saying "stop calling me a black actor, I'm just an actor"

With maya saying: "like there's something soooo wrong about being called a black actor! 🙄 😡 "

Joan's boyfriend was later dragged more in the episode by two other girls at a poetry reading where they basically used their poetry to  call him a coon and a sell out.

So it's not just bored twitter gorls ... some people may genuinely be offended . I'm not personally offended  but I get those who are.

I get where he was going, but clearly the thought wasn't fully formed yet.

[Ulysses]

!!!

i dont think he saw this backlash coming at all

but idris is not from america so i think thats why

snsdjnsdjnsjdnjnsdjnsdjsdnsds

i def think that Will or Samuel or Denzel definitely woulda known better

even if they felt a certain way and had the best/most innocent intentions behind their thoughts , they'd be highly aware of what the perception and reaction would be from african-americans once they put certain things out in the open.

so they'd leave certain tea in their drafts.
