lol bruh, I know the story and I read the controversy. Making us fight over this? That must be you, it isn't me. Lol, bruh I don't give a flying ? really. I'm just stating my opinion and what I have seen. I have never heard olive complexions being associated with black folks. And I have never met a black person who has an olive complexion. Now I have met some mediterranean, greek broads who have the olive complexion. So basically I have seen other folks with olive complexions but they weren't black. Not at all.
How about this...have you ever seen an black person who has an olive complexion? You say yes, you're lying and I know it.
BTW, that vid is GOAT. "The Last ? Alive starring Tom Hanks" Lmfao!! -

u really want to have this devolve into a discussion about what constitutes an official black?
to answer your question, yes I have... keep in mind that people don't use the term "olive complexion" literally... that would be silly... it ranges from tan to brown... -

I think one point is that white audiences shouldn't be so ? racist...
Well that's a problem they themselves have to address. Racial tolerance isn't going to be solved by purposely promoting racial diversity in films. Nor should it be the obligation of directors and producers to do so. If we want to see blacks in films that bad we should start supporting our own directors, producers, and screen writers. To be more blunt I'm saying "? em, lets do our own thing". We should know by now that anytime a minority is used in films it's more often then not going to be the caricature of that particular racial/ethnic group. The use of blacks and other minorities in films has done very little to promote racial tolerance and done more to reinforce stereotypes and prejudices. Rarely do we ever see a black in a dignified and non silly position. I'm not saying their obligated to do so because again, it's their film and their catering to their audience (white). And lets be honest, black heroes isn't what the majority of white audiences want to see anyway. It's too taboo and it goes against everything they have been wired believe about black folk. Again we should be doing our own thing because most of the time when white film makers include us in their stories it's usually some ? ass role anyway. Why ? and moan about us not being shown in films if their constantly giving us ? roles anyway. Again we should be doing our thing.
props if read all this ? . i went off in a tangent but i'm tired of the ? -
