I think I see his point but it wasn't articulated well and I don't agree anyway. Acting is all about telling someone else's truth and stepping into their shoes.  What did he know about some of the people he's played? :dead:

Didn't know oppression was a competition with blacks too.

So you don't like the fact the African American actors don't get their props for playing African characters, but agree with Samuel that Black British actors shouldn't be playing African American roles because they "can't relate"?

As illustrated by many of your posts

bottom line is...AFRICANS and BLACK BRITISH arent american

so having them portray black americans is a disservice

and also another form of discrimination against blacks especially for awards and stuff

black skin isnt the same as black american sorry
and the distinction needs to be made

You sound dumb as fck     
He's a fat fckn idiot
I just wow
didn't even see this  :plzstop:

im saying the reception isnt equal
a good actor is a good actor
but i know the africans and brittans are being used as an excuse not to give african americans their just due
whether it be casting wise or awarding wise

this is the dumbest thing ever
so you think casting agents are deliberately slighting African American actors by giving roles to Black British and African Actors?

part of that truth is in the casting
which typically is very specific to the kind of character needed
if its a midget you get one
if its a white girl you get on
if its a aa male u get one
if its a british male u get one

just like zoe soldana playing nina simone
like girl bye with that casting
