Honestly, you are one ignorant, insulting beep racist idiot. Your ridiculous,uninformed opinion is insulting to ME as a black womanhell, you sound like you got ALL your damn history education from the FOX news channel. Black people have made success off of white guilt? Give ma a beep breakblack people have ALWAYS worked like hell to make it and HAVE made it spite of the major roadblocks in their waylike slavery,segregation,racial profiling and all other kinds of bull**** we're had thrown at us. Also, don't come with the "other people/my people were slaves too,so quit whining about black slavery" bull***. The United States was supposed to be the land of the FREE, but that because a damn lie as soon as they brought the first slave over hereit STILL didn't and STILL dosen't justify the horrible 300 years of slavery MY ancestors were subjected toso please shut the hell up with that tired-a$$ line already.
I'm tired of racist fools like you always coming on here talking this bulls*** about black people as if we don't already take care of our own problems and try to find solutions to them. As far as I'm concerned, a$$holes like you who don't live in a black community and helping us with solutions to our problems can just shut the beep up, because you don't really give a damn about us, so who gives a beep about your racist a** or anything you say. We ARE represented in just about all aspects of American life, and we complain about racism because it is STILL going the hell on. It's the institutional and systematic RACISM that has been embedded in our country's attitudes toward black people since day onesuch as racial profiling, which is part of the reason young black men end up in jail much more than white men. Anyway, I don't feel like giving another lecture, but you need to read up on American history and not just the whitewashed version of it that makes white people look goodI mean REAL American history that tells how America built this country off of the 300 hundred years of slave labor of black people and STILL kept them in semi-bondage a hundred years AFTER slavery was banned. Keep in mind, it was only barely 50 years ago that segregation was legally ended. There are black folks I know still alive today over a certain age who remember when all that s*** was still going down, they didn't forget all that just because we have a black President.
And, yeah, Obama has beep up and made a lot of mistakes, but, hell, so did Bush and the previous presidents. The only reason he's supposedly so divisive is that there are STILL a hell of a lot of white folks who simply can NOT stand the fact that we have a black president,even 4 years after his election, and that is the main and ONLY reason some of these Republicans want him the hell out of officeespecially these older white male politicians, who still can NOT stand the thought that they have to take orders from a black man,of ALL people! That's STILL beep them up to this day! Black folks fought to get affirmative action back in the day BECAUSE, in the '60's, a black person would not get hired for a job, no matter HOW qualified or educated they weresaid job would always go to a white person, no mater what. AA no longer exists in some states, so stop whining about it.
OH, BTW, white people have ALWAYS had affirmative action in the form of legacies (white folks have ALWAYS gotten in some colleges because their daddy or grandaddy was on the board of trusties, was an alumnus, or had always been one of the school's main benefactors). Let's be realwhite people have ALWAYS had an edge/a leg up over EVERYBODY in this country simply because y'all are the majority, not because you're so much damn better or smarter than anybody else (that's the damn lie you've shoved down everybody's throat for hundreds of years, while using and enslaving other people to do your work for you, if y'all were so damn superior, why the hell did you need slaves to do your work for you? Why couldn't you do it your damn selves?)so don't give me that bull**** about white people having it hard-you don'tand so what if you're not whiteyou're still a racist a$$hole and you're repeating the same stupid bull**** these racist white Republicans have been saying since Obama got into office, and Bill Cosby does NOT represent all black people, so stop acting like his words on black people are the gospel truth-he was calling out SOME black folks for what they do, not ALL black people. YOU need to wake the hell up and stop kissing Republican a$$ and quit believing the FOX news hype! -

I'm brainwashed for calling Octavia beautiful? Sorry for having an opinion. Au contraire, I'm pretty sure those of us calling her attractive are in the minority of people who haven't bought into Hollywood's/the media's ideals of what beauty is supposed to be.
And I said I want to see Octavia in a leading role which is different from expressing certainty that she'll get actually get one. You're rightHollywood is a business and it's not welcoming to people of color (I hate the term minori5b4ty because it's obviously inaccurate). Octavia, by virtue of being a heavyset black woman, has far lower chances of becoming a household name in the film industry which is just unfortunate. But telling black actors to 'go back to Africa' to find work, to me, is unreasonable. I know of various Asian Americans who have gone on to be more successful in Asian countries and it just seems absurd to me that they should have to cross the freaking Pacific Ocean to have a career. Here's the thingeven if us people of color are smaller in number, we're still Americans. I'm of Korean heritage and an American citizen. This is the only home I've known and I actually like it here! I work here, pay taxes, celebrate the 4th of July, all that good beep Why should I have to look outside home just to find someone who looks like me on TV? While America may be predominantly white, there are still millions upon millions of non-white people out there who would like to be thought of as more than a mere percent number. -

You're one ignorant racistfirst of all, us minorities here in the U.S. are AMERICANS just like youwhy the hell should we have to go overseasthat's the stupidest/most backwards thing I've heard anyone say on this board. We're AMERICANS,dear, not Africans-and BTW, parts of Africa already have their own film businesses. And, yes, Spencer IS an attractive womansorry,but skinny women don't have a lockdown on beautyI know that for a fact.
America has NEVER been JUST a white culture exclusivelysorry, but if YOUR slave-owning ancestors wanted a white country ONLY, they should've never brought black folks as slaves over here in the first damn place. We BUILT this country too, fought in EVERY war even though we STILL weren't allowed the right to vote,live/work/play where we wanted due to segregation. White supremacist a$$holes like you can keep apouting this bull**** all you want, but life goes on and times change whether your silly racist a** likes it or not. Yes, minorities should have more roles because it's usually been white folks that get ALL the best roles? Why the hell do you have a problem with that? Seriously, I'm tired of little silly a** armchair white supremacists like you always whining like little spoiled-a** bs whether a black person gets something that they earned and worked for. What the beep has your a done that's worth a damn besides thinking you're the s because you're white?!? NOTHINGso just SHUT the hell up and go back to Stromfront, you beep racist idiot! Nobody gives a beep about you or your ignorant stupid-a** beep statements anyway. -

BTW, the movies RED TAILS and THINK LIKE A MAN both made well 30 over million dollars at the box office, and they're both all-black c5b4ast films! So all that nonsense you were talking about white folks only wanting to see themselves all the time is just thatNONSENSE and some bull****! Sorry to bust your bubble, but even white folks get tired of seeing the same old trite,predictable genre movies featuring the same old white people over and over again. And every film with white people isn't a box office hit (For exampleTHE GREEN LANTERN, HUGO and JOHN CARTER, which sank like a stone at the box office). So shut the hell up,go crawl back in your basement and chain yourself up to the wall and bang your head while watching FOX News/listening to that ignorant fat bastard Rush Limbaugh!
YOU don't represent or speak for ALL white people,anywayso no one gives a beep what you got to say outside of your little Stormfront clique! -

IMO she's not a "looker". However, she's adorable and I would like to see her in a lead role. The best bet is a biopic. Otherwise, I see only supporting roles. Maybe in a romantic comedy. She could play off a lead real well. Steal scenes etc

I don't think that her success will be hindered by her being black but the fact that she's already middle aged and not a very attractive person. I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but if you honestly think that a lot of people view her as beautiful?
