I used to like boxing but got fed up as there was such little white man representation. .. I thought that was a little unfair meself, all those blacks.
Same with runners Morty, successful white runners are as rare as hens teeth nowadays. Not many black swimmers or cyclists though......

As for black actors in films what about Denzel Washington ? Excellent action films for men to watch starring him . https://www.biography.com/actor/denzel-washington
Then there's our own Luther on tv aka Idris Elba.
Male and female black actors in BBC's Line Of Duty .

If an actor is up to the job then that should be the only reason an actor is chosen for the part.
I don't have a problem with black actors Zuleika, and the likes of Denzel Washington, Eddie Murphy, Samuel L Jackson etc are there on their merits ie..Brilliant! But let's face it, they appear in adverts and soaps because 'rules is rules' and not because they are the best person for the job.....

Exactly this.

I thought Luther was one of the best detective programmes ever and Idris was brilliant in the part but it wasn't a programme about exclusively black issues.

Re: Black films and dramas

I don't know if anyone uses bt mail in the clouds but I keep seeing these promotional images. There's a common theme, what's that all about?

It would appear that BT are becoming an exclusively black Telecommunications company just like ITV, BBC, and channel 4 d00d....I think the UK is morphing into Africa!...Stand by for water shortages and roving gangs of militia.....
