Episode: The problem with Idris Elba's "Black Actor" comments
Description: This video is my response to Idris Elba. While I can understand some of what Idris Elba & John Boyega said about not identifying as a Black actor and questioning directors and typecasting, there was another statement that Elba made that was really problematic: "Racism is very real. But from my perspective, it’s only as powerful as you allow it to be.” #dei #deib #upstander #liesaboutblackpeople #diversityspeaker #blackhistorymonth #blackhistorymonth2023STAY CONNECTED:Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongoTwitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongoFacebook | http://www.facebook.com/omek...
