Day 15! SAY IT LOUD! I AM BLACK AND I AM PROUD! Tonight I salute all the Black Actors and Actresses that broke down barriers in an industry that would rather not tell our true stories at all…but when they attempted to…would have white people pretend to be us…mocking us in black face or play up the roles of a “white savior” rescuing us! ?While their lives may seem fancy…Black Hollywood has never had it easy! There is still a lot of push back when Black actors are awarded leading roles that white Hollywood felt should only belong to them! Often times, we deliver breathtakingly difficult performances, still making less than our white peers, and still have to deal with not being acknowledged for our BRILLIANCE! To add insult to injury, in 2016, we could not turn away from the fact that not much has changed with #oscarssowhite! Well my peoples have stepped their game up and no matter what happens at the 2017 Oscars…it ain’t gonna be so white! We are showing up and showing out! #moonlight #fences #hiddenfigures #blackgreatness ~KJM on Hump Night lol ?
