Young MA has big dick energy..but Queen Latifah has *good* dick energy. Welcome to my TED talk
I’m just doing what I’m supposed to do.
Fuck. This is the realest shit I’ve read today. Like it’s ok to feel special to be treated nice but you have to remember that you deserve that. You SHOULD be treated well. Don’t latch onto someone just because they’re doing what should be required. Acknowledge it and keep it flowing
white actors: dropped out of school to pursue acting, told a joke once, got discovered and starred in a blockbuster
actors of colour: attended tisch julliard rada, studied acting for years, did othello, joined a theatre “for people of their ethnicity”, did hamlet, auditioned for everything, did macbeth, won prestigious theatre award that no one cares about, got their big break delivering one line in a blockbusterActors of color: still got to change their names to get good roles
Actors of color: have to accept stereotypical roles or bastardise their own cultures
Actors of color: have to wait while white actors tell them to “wait for their turn” because there’s always something more important to do before hiring them
Actors of color: get their careers destroyed over the smallest things while white actors get 2 million second chances
White actors: “yeah I was standing near a truck and some guy told me ‘you look hot, hired’ and now im a millionaire”.
Actors of color: have roles meant for them get taken by white people and get told “why does race matter? the actor with the most talent should get it”
Actors of Color: have roles that SHOULD be for them but have casting descriptions looking for only white people and are turned away when they audition for them
Actors of Color: struggle to find a role not looking for specifically white people
White Actors: “oh yeah, i just got offered this role for a character with a japanese name for this adaptation of an anime and i couldnt pass it up, you know? Lol”
