Black Brits must hate him.


After years of them taking all the roles for African Americans, they gotta be mad an American got the role of an African character.

Denzel Washington, Sam Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Michael B. Jordan, Keith Stanfield, Anthony Mackie, Andre Holland, Will Smith, Forest Whitaker, Jamie Foxx, Nate Parker, Derek Luke and Cory Hardrict all say "hello."

That being said the more talented black actors in the field (regardless of where they come from) the better.

Not true at all. The only Black Brits who will hate this will be the actors who usually got the roles for Americans. Its natural that they will be upset because they lost out on a great opportunity.

I'd glad that they didnt use a Black Brit aka Idris Elba or Oyelowo for this role. Chadwick has been pretty brilliant as BP so far.

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people post, I just watch their avatars.
