- Lol guy thinks he's unique... Ain't no better horror than Blackula! https://youtu.be/vN2…robotron3k
- Can you ever imagine a white director saying that? His/her career would be over in a heart beat.utopian
- I actually thought Scream Blackula Scream was even better but I was like 8 when I saw it at the Drive-In...robotron3k
- That would be like starting a car company that only makes electric cars just because all others are making gas-powered cars.
It'll never work!deadsperm - ^ weird analogyIanbolton
- Some people are just really good at broadcasting to the world what idiots they are********
- is he talkin about aldo the apache?neverscared
- Jordan peele is a genius.monospaced
- Hmmm I have trouble getting worked up over a statement like this. Maybe if I'm white it would send me into a fit of rage :)yuekit
- Of course most movies do star white actors, and many directors have only cast white leads whether they say it out loud or not. Let him make the kind of film heyuekit
- wants to make.yuekit
- @robotron3k
Where would the Federation be without Blackula? https://www.youtube.…CyBrainX - Colour of skin makes a movie original?inteliboy
- it's not like movie industry is over saturated with none white leads. so why not?pango
- also asian poeple should start breaking out of their mystical model minority by starting some shit. lol i'm not your side kick/ best friend, pal!!!pango
- we also aint gonna fix your water damaged phone just because you put your phone in rice! that's a waste of food you sonavabitch!pango
- What is original or at least different is a film where the main characters are non-white but the movie itself has nothing to do with race. It's weird how rareyuekit
- that still is.yuekit
- nothing wrong with that at all. I think we NEED movies like his. He's right. We've got a ton of white-star movies..let's have something else...exador1
- My wife's family is from India. growing up, she NEVER saw people that looked like her on the tv.exador1
- Now, in the past 5 years or so (ish) there's TONS of newscasters and tv personalities that are brown. which is great for my kids to see.exador1
- So, what movie is he talking about?Maaku
- I’m white and I agree with Jordon. I’ve also seen plenty of those movies. I’ve also experienced dumb, old white folk. No more I say.RumperChunk
- Jordan Peele is referring to "all movies" that he makes moving forward. That is not the full or or correct quote.utopian
- no it's just racist as fuck.Boz
- Ya think of how many none white population in the states and yet none white leads are so few. Pretty racist.pango
- Will smith, the rock, Kevin hart, Eddie Murphy, Jackie chan, Sam Jackson, Denzel, idris Elba, Jamie fox, Michael b Jordan, Gael Garcia bernal, Benicio del toro,_niko
- Not many in the grand scheme of things but tons on the last decade. Also Bruce fucking lee. And sinbad, let’s not forget sinbad lol_niko
- Id like to see Jordan peeele cast a native lead, or a non comical non martial arts Asian. Or an Indian or an Arab. Black lead? We’ve seen that movie too_niko
- ya for every none white lead, you can at least name 10 white leads. lolpango
- I'd put money down this quote was delivered in response to an EQUALLY stupid question on the subject. Think about that before you call him racist, ffs.monospaced
- I mean, do you really think he's racist. REALLY?! A black comedian adopted and raised by white midwesterners? He's making fun of himself most of the time.monospaced
- Ssome people are just DESPERATE to find racism wherever it isn't, and will go through insane stretches to go there, and end up looking like idiotic dicks.monospaced
- Meanwhile, there is REAL racism to worry about ... you know, the kind that actual results in people being hurt and oppressed. This is nothing.monospaced
- Anyone thinking he's racist is missing the point. He's talking about making movies from the POV of the black experience which are films that need to be made.ben_
- Getting butthurt because of what he said just shows a level of complacency that borders on bigotry itself, but I mean look who's making those comments.ben_
- Plus he’s married to Chelsea peretti so he’s sticking it to the white man at least 3 times a week lol_niko
- /\ lolben_
- White people: Just because we were racist doesn’t mean you can be racist back. Also white people: He scared me so I shot him.imbecile
- Yep. That's all white people. All of them.********
- Retarded generalisations like that are a big part of how and why we're in this race mess********
- Another analogy for all you bros:
Imagine you're hitting the gym like it's the 80's and neglect your legs and only bulk up your upper body.deadsperm - Let's say that only for aesthetic reasons you want to balance it out to keep that hot ass body up to date.deadsperm
- You would probably dedicate a bit more time working on your legs. Spending more time on your legs doesn't mean you'll completely neglect your upper body.deadsperm
- I'm not saying you should have upper body guilt, your upper body will be fine if you maintain the work on it. The goal in mind is to get a balanced body.deadsperm
- If you think that your body looks fine with big ass guns and skinny legs of course you're going to think that working on your lower body is a waste of time.deadsperm
- But then, you're probably rocking a mullet and drive a Firebird (which is all good).
You do you.deadsperm - Even out of context, JP's comment is racist if you think the current state of diversity in movies is where it should be at.
If it ain't broken don't fix it.deadsperm - set, i was stating the stupidity of the situation, if you think i believe the rhetoric, reconsider.imbecile
- +1 deadsperm********
