You know whats funny is Rig and Char want to automatically give props to the white actors mostly because its virtually impossible for them to depict black urban life or struggle (and they both feel it diminished  the actors talent when they play them) so of course white actors come out on top by default

but the tee-tot-tot is that for black actors this is an added dimension to acting 95% of the  white actors you praise cant do  or bring across the screen realistically
so while you are saying i wish they could do more roles like this and you know imma go ahead and give it to (insert white actor here) because ive seen them do this and that
but black actors can successfully do both (depending on their range)

its only your personal issues with with that claims it doesnt matter or it cant measure up
but on the world stage it matters

She don't look no damn 60 and she's relegated not just to playing a mother, but usually a mother in the hood or some mess like Tyler Perry had her doing :uhh: no ma'am

What I'm saying isn't a slight toward her, it's the opposite. Some of those characters literally had no depth. 

"Go to ya room! Oh u out here selling drugs?!" n

Please. She's worth MORE and she's finally getting it a bit

Lol Is that the main role you guys think of when it comes to Angela Basset?  I wouldn't even think of that role necessarily as the "mama" role because she was the main character.  She just happened to have kids.

Angela's most famous for playing Tina Turner, Stella who got her grove back, Waiting to Exhale, etc...

yeah that "mother in the hood" shit is late because like you said, that's not even what she's known for. That says more about you if that's what you automatically think of.
Damn, are u dragging rig :guys:
This is my pass to say WHATEVER tf I wanna say about the mess she releases so I don't wanna hear SHIT! Baby mama is a mess of a song btw

Yea Tina turner is cute


but mother in the hood is definitely her more consistent mess. and she's a mother in a damn superhero movie :kii: woo!  I'm sure her role takes place in Compton btw

Now, I could see if we were talking about Jennifer Lewis or somebody.  But Angela Basset?!  She is a grown woman, so, yes, at some point she is going to have to play a character or 2 that has kids.  But she is far from a character actress.
