“Hollywood should stop constantly casting black British actors in American roles they cannot fully understand, Samuel L Jackson has said”

Why should anyone care what this no-talent jackwagon says or thinks?

>>We've got a lot of brothers here that need to work too. <<

After 8 years of Obama how can this be possible? Millions of illegals can get jobs why not brothers?

Because to African-americans its all about them. Now as the world becomes more nuanced and with globalist trends they’ve suddenly discovered that there are other African-Thems. And they don’t fit the African-American expectations of the permanently aggrieved.

Maybe if he was capable of depicting a character other than Samuel L Jackson his opinion might matter to some one.

Why do Brit blacks attempt to assimilate, while American blacks don’t?

Lincoln and Wilberforce made the first effort at ending slavery in the history of the world

Sorry, but Brit actors are by and large just better.

At everything.

Including being black.

Read it and weep, Sam.

And no, I’m not a Brit.

Why, Sam? The UK were heavily involved in the slave trade. Which they would love people to forget about, btw.

The other factor is they’ve actually been trained to act and not just look pretty for the cameras. Same with Irish and Australian actors, by the way. Stage trained professionals.

Never really liked him, but after his rant, won’t ever see one of his films again.

Saw him on Jimmy Fallon the other day. No idea how he feels about SLJ, but Jimmy was very polite.
