"A little gratitude would suit him better."

I agree. He type-cast himself, just like Samuel L. Jackson type-cast himself. They went for the money. Jackson complained not too long ago that blacks rarely get parts in period dramas, and that's because in most cases, there weren't blacks in those positions at that period of time. Can you see the jive talking Jackson playing the role of Ragnar Lothbrok in the History Channel series "Vikings"? It's bad enough that revisionists have seen fit to give a black woman the role of Anne Boleyn, or a black woman portray the daughter-in-law of Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII's Lord Great Chamberlain, or a young black man as Henry VIII's son Edward VI, which have all happened.

“a black woman the role of Anne Boleyn,”

You have got to be shiiting me?

Do not watch TV, so could be just out of the loop.

If Samuel L wants more serious roles then maybe he needs to expand his vocabulary rather than use the F bomb every 5 words. Just a thought. But hey he’s got millions so he did something right.

And black actor Cynthia Erivo played Jesus Christ this year at the Hollywood Bowl.

Samuel L. Jackson is one of the most racist black actors out there...
