In addition , Actors work very hard especially black actors. Back in the day people had to work from the lowest of the low, now they work to the best of their ability. In segregation, black people didn’t have the same resources as the whites did. So they had to hustle on the streets find a place to work at. And even if black people wanted to be in the films the only openings were like maids, criminals, butler, poor people on the street, or in the hood. These were all slaves titles put on us. They didn’t want us to shine.
But sadly it still happens in to days world. Like not getting that much of screen time, not getting the spotlight, or not accepted them because of hair and race. Like a lot of stuff happens but just keep your head to your goals.
