hey there people..I need some help...I wounder if someone could tell me when the first film made with a afro american in it. How they did gain respect form white filmmakers..and how it was after Sidney Poiter won the oscars. And how they have developed in the movie buissnes since the first afro american starred in a movie..
This is only on america.
If some one would be kind to help me I would became very happy..
Thanks!

Well many of the first movie "shorts" were white actors in blackface. I don't know the first black actor to appear in an actual Hollywood feature film. Try this link for more on that.

While Poitier opened the door for actors and actresses I think the field has yet to be truly expanded in terms of recognition for directors, producers, screenwriters and the like.

The professional struggles of rising black actors and actresses over the years can only be surpassed by their personal struggles within society as a whole. I think most of the time black entertainers were considered talented in the sense that they could perform on stage or on film only because they had been scripted to do so. To rise above the written page and grasp the true nature of the character one is imitating and then have the audience realize the actor or actress has reached fruition with their performance is to truly have acheived perfection within a role.

Thanks a lot gundy!!
I was also woundering how they have gained respect in the music thing to..if any one would be kind to answer..
thanks again gundy!!I really apreciate your help!!

Probably some older Civil war film

Thomas, when is this due ?

When the with people started to listen at Afro American made music..who was the first really big afro american musician?

Little Richie came on the seen in the late 40's

Thomas, man why don't you research?

No one here knows what the hell.

Is this for a paper, or just for shits and giggles?

I think he had a paper to do before. The one he started working on the night before it was due. Thats why I asked him. Obviously research is not his strong point.

A lot of afro american Jazz musicans were populare from the late 1920`s.

Well there you have it.

" we have all of the time in the world" Satchmo

Well I'm not going back there with those damn Morlocks.

But in the 20s blacks in movies were played by white people having their faces painted black.

Well, was it Queenie that played the maid in Gone With the Wind?

Thanks people!
The reason why I ask this is that I am working on this in a project...and i tough that maybe you people new some thing that I did not find on the internett..ok?

Well ok then Thomas.....how's the project coming along ?

hey, a since this is the official help thread, I was woundering if they helped people with braindamage, of so, this is something for me and yerss hehe

errrrrr... no... they even give me money to stay away from them

Gundy and her lab would do just fine. I don't know if she'd actually help though.

hehe

no, we have an understanding,
she doesn't do these operations on me, and I won't publish the closet-tapes queeq gave me once

The what tapes???

apperently the decoration of the closet

That's nothing, I thought you meant some nudie tapes.

I would dare!... I mean ... err... I wouldn't dare!

Yerssot you Dog!

as long as I don't have to bark and sniff everyone I'm happy with it

yeah! that's right! NO sniffing!

Yes, I've just finished up Latin I in school and I had a brilliant teacher so I learned a lot. It means "Always Faithful". I think its the motto for the US marines.

Actually its "Semper Fi", Always Ready. But close enough, Lauren.

Say WHAT, Gundy?

She said this, Ush

Ba-dum-boom!

Ok, the sense behind what Gundy said is what I am trying to get at here...

ok,... fair enough...

*han solos voice*
ash her!

Are you talking about the motto or the pharse itself? Because I know for an absolute fact that Semper Fidelis means always faithful.

Semper Fidelis is the motto of the US marines, but they say, Semper Fi!


Semper Fi!

Thats what they say. Sorry Ush - its a stupid american thing.

and Fi is short for enemy (fiende) in Norwegian military termology

you are really an educated man...

the US Rangers always say Hooo-ah, does that have any special meaning?...not likely but maybe...

well the navy seals have the same, it is kind of and acceptance to be under orders, it has also become a trade mark of theirs

mmmkay
