Heads Gone (The 8MileBU Awards)


Recommended Posts

I can understand the need to have people of colour play the appropriate characters in productions and racism in the picture above. I'm less sure about impersonation as entertainment. If I had my own show, could I never do Mugabe or Amin? Would it be more acceptable not to "black up" and only do the voices?

It's a fucking joke that with all his acting talent they still insist on making Denzel Washington play the black guy in films.

hrhm. *hot take* I think with voice acting in isolation it's far more important how the character is portrayed than who does the voice; having it so only white people can voice white characters, asians voicing asians etc. etc. is a little absurd.

Depends what the subject of the comedy is, if you dressed up as Mugabe and forced anyone living on a farm with purple flowers off their land then it wouldn't matter what colour you were because you are laughing at Mugabe. If you had a scene with him in his office eating fried chicken smoking weed and deciding to get rid of the whites then of course that would be racist as it's using lazy inaccurate stereotypes and laughing at a whole race and not the nutter.

Ben Kingsley's played a cockney gangster, Mahatma Gandhi and a Polish Jew in Schindler's list.  I don't see why it's needed anyway, the audience always know that the actor isn't actually the character they're playing, it's called suspension of disbelief. Think it would take me about 5 minutes for me to get over a black actor playing Winston Churchill, and about the same if a white actor played Malcolm X.

I also predict no warning points, suspensions or bans

There isn't one. I couldn't give a rat's ass about my Reputation score on a Football Forum, so certainly wouldn't be writing speeches about trying to top an imaginary league table.

C'mon Marshy, that's a lie. Can we check, no of course not. It was made on a thread that has since been deleted by a member who wanted the thread deleted and their own profile deleted,  that wasn't an alias of you also.  No way Marsh-shallow.

 

You play a decent game, you spend more time than normal people on it, but the truth can't  be hidden. 

 

I feel sorry for the hangers on (tizammo ammos) types, their wee world will fall apart when they have to think for themselves. 

 

So to recap, Marshy really wanted to be top of the green pile, the colour ups and down mean a lot to him, he told the story. He couldn't understand how his great football posts were being under-appreciated whilst non football speakers where racking up the green points. He actually said he changed his view when he realised he couldn't compete. Imagine caring about not being top so much.

As I said I stand out Sunday, this is crazy & why do you think it's the English master of the south east, that has posted this cry for help?
