It would be a tough choice between Morgan and Denzel.  But Morgan might just take the top spot because of his iconic voice.

Agree. But James Earl Jones for the voice.

For God’s sake you heathens, it’s Sydney Poitier, no contest.


Try watching some older movies occasionally, godamnit y’all are ignint.

Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner
In The Heat of The Night
A Raisin in The Sun.
To Sir With Love

Consider the time in history and the subject matter/ themes of the films he worked in.

Bahamian- American btw.

Lotta notables missing.

Morgan Freeman
Wesley Snipes
James Earl Jones

Of the options:

Denzel
Samuel L Jackson
Will Smith - Unpopular, I know, but as mentioned his range from fresh prince to 13 pounds (that movie gave me the major feels) is notable. Plus I always found "Hancock" entertaining.

Chameleon type actor? Chappelle. No contest. I know his stuff is geared for comedy standup and skits, but the guy can blend. The man played a racist, blind Klansman, to a T.

Never paid Denzel much attention until i saw Training Day. Since that film he has joined a small group of favorites, of whom i make I make it a point to see movies they star in. He doesn't go as chameleon as some i like, but he is good.

I've never seen Harold Perrineau in a bad movie or series, and always plays a magnificently-acted character.

Surprised I'm the first to mention him.

I used to like all of those actors and more, but between BLM and NFL, I really don't care to see any of them anymore.  I feel that they would all hate me if they met me because I am white.  The past year has ruined me on black people.  I hate it because I have family that are black, and are really nice people, but I just don't trust any of them anymore.

Oof. That hurt. And I can't even relate. But the way he tries to play off the whole thing, but even a couple sentences in you can tell it's a front, and just comes apart right at the end there...right in the feels. Hard.

Laurence Fishburne. He's played a lot of very different characters and is great in pretty much everything he does.

Denzel or Will Smith are both good choices of those listed.

Man, Dave Chappelle is up there with the people I've laughed at until I couldn't breathe any more.

There was gonna be more to that post, but I pulled up this video in the background

Not really.  There aren't THOUSANDS of gun owners doing mass shootings.  There are, however, thousands of blacks (and liberal whites) rioting, looting, and killing white and asian people for fun.  Also, when there is a mass shooting, you see the gun community come out, and denounce the shooter!  I have not seen a large amount of black people come out against what the black community is doing.  Same way the police never come out, and denounce their officers when they do something wrong.  Thin Blue Line and Thick Black Line.  

Sorry, I never used to judge people by the color of their skin, and never have had a problem with black people, but now it is hard not to be nervous around them.  I do not trust them anymore, and I really don't care to be reminded of their antics when I am trying to escape day to day life.  Now days, I have to watch my back anytime I am around black people because you never know when you may disrespect them by being white, and they decide to team up and jump you if you happen to look at them.  No thanks. F all that.  I try to avoid them as much as possible.  And this feeling has only happened over the last year and a half after seeing how much many (if not most) hate white people.  Except pretty white women...they get married to them.  

Again, I used to love these actors.  And I still do for the most part.  And I really appreciate the other poster who posted a couple of them denouncing the activity.

There are plenty of black people denouncing those activities, but you have to look for them because the media doesn't support their voice.

He also did Amen, but I never watched it.  Might have just been George Jefferson with a crucifix.  

But George Jefferson was an awesome character, and he knocked it out of the park.
