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

60sec on google and this is what I've read.

Denzel Washington refuses to do love scenes with white women and has been quoted saying "Black women are not often seen as objects of desire on film. And they are my core audience".

By focusing on race so much yes I would say it is fair to call him mildly racist to say the least. Assuming the above information is true.

in the opening scene of flight..?

not to mention the chick later in the movie

I hated John Q but I think Denzel is awesome.

I loved him in Cry Freedom, Training Day, American Gangster, Man on Fire, etc.

Hell, I love him in everything (even John Q).
