@VVizardKelly @ArtOfDialogue_ Of the Oscars lol?

[BenjaminB @HopNApple]

@VVizardKelly @ArtOfDialogue_ Awards and nominations don't lie.

[BenjaminB @HopNApple]

@BikerKittyygang @NiaEducational @ArtOfDialogue_ Explains the insane amount of Oscar/ Emmy awards and nominations. Per capita, you Yanks can't touch us.

[BenjaminB @HopNApple]

@NiaEducational @ArtOfDialogue_ Just not enough talented African Americans to fill the roles these days. The pool is tiny.

Britain has a surplus of brilliantly trained actors.

[BenjaminB @HopNApple]

@SheMeanzBizness @NiaEducational @ArtOfDialogue_ Nah, per capita the Brits clean up at the award ceremonies. Bet you don't even know half the British actors working in American film and television as they're so convincing at playing dumb Americans.

@JerLisa_Nicole @DoshQuincy 2,000 years 😭🤣

[BenjaminB @HopNApple]

@JerLisa_Nicole Blacks only arrived in Britain in any measurable number in the 1960s, so they're not lying.
They've opportunities here, but, like white Brits, there are more opportunities and money in the US due to its size.

[BenjaminB @HopNApple]

@VVizardKelly @ArtOfDialogue_ They're just better actors, same as white Brits.

[BenjaminB @HopNApple]

@NiaEducational @ArtOfDialogue_ Try being better at acting

[BenjaminB @HopNApple]

@DeOne___ Africans hate each other and always have. Did you believe differently lol?

[BenjaminB @HopNApple]

@The_Forty_Four Who cares who they support?

[BenjaminB @HopNApple]

@explodingwalrus Yep

@Jen_jen_jen_123 @alya_snr ..everything since is undeniable, as is the way music is written and performed and the instruments utilised by US musicians, black or white. A lot of European influence there.

Stop pretending R&B emerged in a vacuum, independent of influence.

[BenjaminB @HopNApple]

@Jen_jen_jen_123 @alya_snr Two way street in terms of cultural exchange though, innit.
Can't really sepeate African Americans from the European (primarily British) culture they've been immersed in for centuries, and what that's meant in terms of cultural exchange. The impact of folk on Blues and...

[BenjaminB @HopNApple]

@Jen_jen_jen_123 @alya_snr Have African Americans indulged in European genres? Or used European instruments to create music?

I believe they have, Sir.

[BenjaminB @HopNApple]

@Jen_jen_jen_123 Not even Billy Ocean or Soul 2 Soul?

[BenjaminB @HopNApple]

@Jen_jen_jen_123 Also, Billy Ocean has some bangers.

[BenjaminB @HopNApple]

@Jen_jen_jen_123 Soul 2 Soul were amazing back in the '80s.

@Nabadwanag Lol, okay
