Watch this

@Chi-town B , which american actor would you replace him with. And that's not just for him, any of y'all who share his views on this topic

At one point, Kevin Hart had a movie in theaters seemed like every other month and people's arguments then were he's overexposing himself or it was that period when Morris Chestnut was the go to black in all the black love movies.

Finally get some diversity and now the issue is that they aren't American born?

What?

Well hold on now... This might have to be a rule lol

You need the proper accents to pull this off, but that's for another thread

And accents have been the only thing black folks have been worried about when Americans have played people from every corner of the diaspora with not a complaint brought up. But all of a sudden.....

Black panther is fiction tho.

They have British actors playing several historical black American figures

A better example would been forest whitaker as Mandela

 

[Old Man Cain]

should be happy we got a damn fred hampton movie in the first place

this but goofy niggas rather complain about who doing the acting instead of how great this is

 

[SeaSnake]

The Italian Americans better not call out Hollywood for casting Tom Hardy as Al Capone. If they do we have a serious problem lol (I'm a big fan of Tom Hardy)

Seriously, a lot of actors in Hollywood both black and white are not from America and that should NEVER be an issue.....It's called "acting" for a reason for God's sake.

Bruh that’s what all the rational people are saying. Now if they doing bios and a persons look was part of their character that’s different. Fred Hampton wasn’t about his look.

Forum is called A Black Web and we're having these discussions all the time about entrenching division amongst black people any and everywhere...





"Yeah nigga we black BUT _________"

It’s confusing. They want all blacks on the same page but tell them they can read the same book.

Man the job they did on us was magnificent

The job they did was brilliant. We hjave a whole cities (Chicago just name one) killing each other, social media sites (Shaderoom balleralert and mediatakeout and others), music(hiphop) and last but not least the judicial system formed against us. Yet we argue over the dumbest of shit......................focus niggas

 

[Hater Hearst Helmsley]

I want the best actors and actresses playing the best roles. I don’t give a fuck if he was from Antarctica.

Pointless ass petition.

Idris Elba did play him but both his parents African
