Story of a black prostitute with dignity and care

Being black doesn't have anything to do with this. It's a story about a prostitute. There's no dignity involved in being a prostitute

Lol what a candy arse Damon is. Black people don't need our apologies, they need to fix their own problems in their own communities. Accountability and responsibilty comes to mind. This country is set up to where they are at an advantage. If you work hard, good things will come. They've guilted these dumbasses into believing that they are owed something.



Yep. The "Black Community" needs and has earned biting criticism more than any other group in this country.

In fact, that is the only thing they are owed. Whites are doing a disservice enabling their shite.

"When we're talking about diversity, you do it in the casting of the film not in the casting of the show," Damon said to a clearly flabbergasted Brown.

"Hoo. Wow. OK," she said.


What is wrong with what he said?

Are people really this naive?

Funny thing is, I look at Denzel, and I don't even see skin color. His skill transcends that. He's not my favorite black actor...he's just my favorite current actor, PERIOD.

He's like Hanks or, going back a ways, Jimmy Stewart. He has an Everyman quality...can play almost any role. That's a rare gift.

Matt Damon has more talent than any of the people he was in the room with.

Having acting talent doesn't necessarily make you intelligent.

I've always said that about Denzel. He can play any role.

Tops grossing actors of 2014

All white. There were other lists, but they're based on the movies' overall box office average and therefore list Stan Lee as being in the top 3.

That's 2014.

Point is that the top black actors of today are extremely well represented in career box office grossings. Overrepresented in statistical terms.

ETA: But hollywood and american moviegoers are racist.

He's a white male. When it comes to arguments about race, they are always wrong.

3 of the top 5 grossing actors ever are black.



Which proves my point. Those guys get plenty of roles because they are bankable.

That's 2014.
Well, 2015 isn't over yet.

And like I said, the other lists include people like Stan Lee just because they appear in numerous box office smashes.

It's just a numbers game. Whites are 65% of the populace. Blacks are 13%. Why would you have a business model that caters to 13% of your potential audience?
