Samuel l jackson is one actor, more bullshit propaganda to keep blacks separated. Foreign white actors been lapping up all the roles in Hollywood for years now and I haven't seen one article describing whites having beef with each other over it. Disappointed in Sam for his weak ass critique knowing how the media would eat this shit up and spin it.
The British and Australian invasion of Hollywood is a war American actors have already lost. However Americans really shouldn't mind, after all, America pretty much runs the world's movie industry. All those foreign actors are dependent on American culture for work. Besides Harry Potter and James Bond are there any other non-American major motion pictures?
But they do complain when it seems like there are "too many" diverse programs coming out. Guess it depends on who you fear taking from you
So we went from #OscarsSoWhite to this. Last time I looked, a black gay movie with black American actors and director just won Best Picture. Big Sam is getting those Marvel and Tarantino checks like a mofo. The black victimhood train keeps on rolling.
In all honesty this is much ado about nothing, it is foreign actors overall that tend to get a lot of american roles. But what I have noticed with the difference between american black actors and foreign black actors is that they have more range than some american black actors and some of these american black actors on top of hollywood stereotyping them tend to stereotype themselves as well along with black filmmakers. Dominique Toney hit on that a bit. Also for some reason black women that are against IR between black men and white women seem to be less outrage with foreign famous black men in IR, than they are with American black famous men. If you give that role in "Get Out" to Tyrese or somebody he'll probably ask for the kissing scenes to be taken out. LOL. Look at how many foreign black actors are more open to IR than american. In order to fight racism in the industry black people have to realize that there are black people out there that are getting in their own way. But with all that being said, like I said it's much ado about nothing plenty of American black actors out there making noise in the industry like Mahershalal Ali, Mike Colter, Michael B. Jordan, Chadwick Boseman, Anthony Mackie, Sterling K. Brown, and the underrated Derek Luke.
Yeah there is plenty of Black American Talent. Brits simply have a better pipeline going. Goes for Whites as well. Brits and to a lesser extent Aussies are invading as well. Its like being mad that America has better basketball talent. Societal Differences are affecting the talent pool.
If Britain hired a lot of American Black talent then it would be fair... Lots of Xenophobia for foreign black actors...but nobody complains about Liam Neesam, Daisy Ridley, etc...
