Tricia Romano takes down People Magazine’s 'Sexiest White Man Alive'

[Bulma]

I still think that is the reason (its all about the all mighty dollar and how they percieve how to get just that), its just that we are nowhere near equality for anything in regards to bm/bw. Denzel is "safer" compared to Will and Samuel L. Just a guess, dont know - who knows.

So that is why I agree w u on the lists. And apart from that, you cant make a list like that as it is perception and people have different views of what is sexy anyhow.

I know, why is Morris getting these stupid bit piece jobs? He is an excellent actor:smt095

That's not true. None of Will Smith films fail. His movie "I am Legend" (which wasn't even popularised much) made more money than Thor or Superman films.

I think it is more of a racial issue. The same way how some white American men, wanted to start their own basket ball league, a few years back; or how, at first MTV didn't want Micheal Jackson to be on their channel.

Not every is about business. Sometimes it is personal.

Where are the Taye Diggs and Morris Chestnuts?

Nobody outside of the black mainstream know who the fuck those two are...Idris Elba is borderline, as he hasn't done anything in American cinema.

Taye Diggs isn't event that good. Idris is a much better option. He isn't American born. Which is a plus. As a lot of Americans think black people come in two forms. American or straight from Africa.

I am offended by this!

Rotten Tomatoes isn't all knowing. The film "Looper" got 94% on RT. That's near Godfather 2 level rating. How is that possible. Sometimes people are payed or given incentives to rate movies highly.

I'm not saying Tatum doesn't deserve his 'No.1' spot. I was just referring to the whole sheep like following of Hollywood stars.

Hearing a 16-30 year saying "Geroge Clooney is HOT!" is a damn lie. When we all know, they would not date a 51 year old man if he approached them in a club or in the street. He would be seen as a dirty old perv.

You cannot pretend you don't see it.

Damn you are so on point ma

I said it was a racial issue.

I think he meant main character which he had a point. Outside of The Wire anything hes been the main character sucked.

Is someone forgetting Luther??????

The way he worded it "he hasn't done anything in American Cinema" came across to me as anything that the average non black American would recognize him in. Dude has a habit of putting up posts of this nature. He did the same thing quite awhile back in another thread discussing black comic characters in headlining their own movies, saying mainstream audiences wouldn't go see them because they never heard of any of the characters. And as I said in that thread, Blade with all three movies plus a TV series & anime series must have been some kind of fluke then....

 

[The Dark King]

I actually did my apologies but most things like that piece of shit movie with TI and Paul Walker or the IR joint with Beyonce just plain stunk. Hes a good actor but most of his starring roles have shot scripts.

Shit even Hancock did a hundred million

That's a British TV series. That's what he meant by "non-American" cinema.

 

[Ol'Skool Classic]

Exactly. And Hancock was just a concept for a comic character/book that someone thought would make a good movie plus the character originally wasn't black.

They constantly get proof that black leads are bankable so why not do it mpre of ots all about the bottom line? Thats why I dont buy into the argument its all about the dollar because black leads can bring in that hundred million dollar revenue

Agreed. TBH I think he should forget mainstream Hollywood and concentrate with acting in the uk. There's far more opportunity for a black men over there and for him to be viewed as an equal

We all know what it is, but we're whining & insecure if we point it out for what it is. Post Racism America remember. Mofos wanting to secede from the US in 2012 because the president is the most incompetent and evil person to be elected to office. Twice. Ain't no way it has to do with people still being ignorant & biased...:shock:

The bs in this country never ceases to amaze me

I don't get why people think Denzel is sexy. He just looks like someone's boring, old dad to me. He's a great actor, but I've never found him even remotely sexy.

And I guess this is why we should always just ignore these sexiest people lists. No one will ever agree, because it's too personal a subject. What one person finds attractive, another finds a complete turn off.

 

[Morning Star]

I'm sexy and you know it. :smt003
