what? who is eddie murphy.... like what movie has he done recently thats been good cause i sure havent seen any pop up. no way dr dolittle is a top actor lol
oh right he does voice on shrek but thats about it


Never called Eddie Murphy a top actor... Simply said they are both black actors that I find better than him. There are very few "good" recent movies. If you want real quality look to the past.

That really doesn't seem racist to me. I think he's spot on that black women aren't seen as object of desire in film. And since he's an attractive black actor, why on earth would he get it on with white women in his movies. A big part of his audience is probably black women so it seems more like a smart move imo.


He refused to even kiss a white women for no other reason but her color and the reaction that would get. There are different grades of racism, but I think you need to google an general definition if you do not see how this is racist in the slightest...

Personally I can respect his point of view, but it is still racist to a degree as am I.

denzel to me is like a lot of other actors
almost every movie he is in he plays himself

hes the serious black dude with the dont fuck with me attitude
dont see much diversity in his acting

not that i dislike him mind you many of his movies are very very good and i enjoy him in them

but my definition of a good actor is someone who can become something they are not, be someone else, act like something they arent
thats an actor


I completely agree with this.

He's ok and all, but aside from some slight differences, it's always the same roles, the same expressions, the same performances...

He's a good actor. But I wouldn't put him in a discussion of the best actors of our generation.

Technically it is racist, by refusing to work with someone of another color; but his point is reasonable about black women not being love interests in the majority of movies.

He's refusing to do a sex scene with a white woman for valid reasons. He's not refusing to work with white actors/actresses though. I just don't find it racist especially if he has provided a very logical reason behind his thinking.

Technically you could find racism in a whole lot of things that simply aren't racist. I think you guys are reading a little too much into it.

lol... You're the one over reading the word racist... By definition he is. He refused to even kiss a white woman because of her color, simple as that.

If you find a little racism in something it is probably because it is a little racist... Not that big of a deal. This is a judgmental world, must people are guilty of the same on some level regardless on if they can admit it.
