Family and fellow soldiers, I'm the professor and this is the moment of truth. It must be award season and for most long-headed tether the award goes to David Oyelowo. By now everyone's heard about how the Nigerian cosplayer was talking grimy about the black southern accent. He said, "If you take the Nigerian accent like this and you slow it down, you put a lot of slavery in there and then you start to put a little bit of subservience in it, this is what starts to happen to the Nigerian accent, man."
Obviously he was using accent as a euphemism for our lineage. They well, you know, if you take one of these Nigerians and you put them in slavery and they become all subservient, well, a black American is what you get, man. First of all, foundational black Americans have been all over this planet. We've influenced the world. Everyone knows it and yet you don't see us constantly trying to take credit for the impact that we had on all these other people and we certainly don't integrate them for it. And yet we primarily see people from Haiti and Nigeria who never even set foot here and yet will lie through their teeth claiming that they influenced us when nobody today or even in the past even knew them. This is a really bad habit that these tethers have, but it's particularly bad among Nigerians and Haitians. Why are Nigerians and Haitians not proud of their own reputation and accomplishments? Why is it that they're always running to somebody else and saying, "Well, we had an impact on you guys." Shouldn't they just be waving the flag for themselves? Better yet, why don't they just sit back and let the greatness of their own culture and accomplishments speak for them? You see, that's what black Americans are able to do. And yet the problem happens to be perhaps the Nigerians and the Haitians feel that their reputation isn't sterling enough.
But this is what we got from David Oyelowo. What else would you expect though from someone who had Ava DuVernay think that he was the right guy to play Dr. Martin Luther King. Oyelowo's made an entire career out of playing black Americans, specifically with a southern accent, from Dr. King, which is an abomination that he was allowed to portray him, to Bass Reeves, to one of the Tuskegee Airmen. You know, without foundational black Americans, specifically southern foundational black Americans, this overrated hack wouldn't have had a career. But, of course, when he got called out for his disrespectful behavior, he showed that he was walking in the footsteps of the white media that he loves to idolize when he was saying sorry, not sorry, basically. He gave the same pathetic, empty, decrepit, non-apology apology that we always see, you know, from the likes of John Davidson and others. What he's concerned about though is that the backlash is going to be the end of his career, such as it is. Well, it should be. The only time that he should open his mouth is to say thank you to us. That's the only time that David Oyelowo should ever be speaking to or about our lineage.
But, of course, he did the opposite. And it's no accident that he didn't just attack us, he attacked our lineage. Yeah, he's upset about Druski's skit. He felt as if Druski was talking about him in particular, and you know what? If the shoe fits, wear it. Yeah, Druski described David Oyelowo to a T, because he is one of the worst offenders when it comes to these foreign cosplayers. Now, for our Afro-British family out there, if you want to know why the Brits thought that they could get away with that stunt they pulled at the BAFTAs, this is why. David Oyelowo is a living example of why that happened. Your black British actors are cowards, just like he is. And sorry to say that most, not all, but surely the majority of Afro-Britons keep giving a pass to white racism there. But, they're only too quick to talk trash about us. Don't you know that those racists over there in Britain see that? This is called pattern recognition. Time and experience with you has taught them that they'll go ahead and talk grimy about black people in Britain. They'll insult black people to their faces in Britain, and the Afro-Britons will say, "Well, you know, that was somewhat unseemly, but uh let's move right along." Meanwhile, with black Americans, they dump on us all day long. Don't you know the enemy can see that?
A few years ago, this piece of garbage, David Oyelowo, was complaining that there weren't enough movie roles for black actors in Britain, especially on TV. Oh, it's so difficult for a black British actor to find any work on TV. Well, truth be told, he really shouldn't have gotten any movie roles here in the US, either. He belongs in the same pathetic category as that other Nigerian tether, Cynthia Erivo. There's another creep who made a career of playing black Americans, and then gleefully showed her behind to us. These are not accidents. This is what they always thought about us, by the way. David Oyelowo didn't just get up one morning and decide he's going to talk trash about us. Far as he was concerned, Drewski's skit gave him permission to say what he had thought all along. They think that it's our job to support them. They think that it's our job to make opportunities for them. This is the attitude that they have about us. That they're just supposed to take advantage of us. That's the attitude that the David Oyelowo's have. This is how these tethers treat each other back home, too. You want to know where they learned all this behavior from? They learned it in Nigeria. This is the reason that they cannot unite there, because they practiced and perfected this behavior at home. The loyalty system of Africa isn't just broken, it's disintegrated. David Oyelowo and Cynthia Erivo are showing the tribalism stuff that they practice against each other each and every day. In Africa, they malign and insult one another's tribes, and this is why they have so much tribal warfare and even civil wars over there. And they brought that same crap here. We made a lane for them, a lane that they failed to make for themselves. We gave them literally every opportunity they've ever had, and this is how they respond, not with gratitude, but with scorn and disrespect. And this scumbag says that our accent is Nigerian somehow.
Now I know that he's deaf and stupid, but that part about the Southern accent is what happens when you add subservience to an accent. Well, clearly Oyelowo's accent is what happens when you add fleeing to a Nigerian accent. It's what happens when you add a lack of character to a Nigerian accent. It's what happens when you take someone who was bowing down to the British and who still considers themselves to be a British subject to this day. This is the ultimate in subservience. And this is what David Oyelowo is. He's like all these tethers. He's projecting all of his own failings and shortcomings and insecurities onto us. See, when someone flees from their home, that makes them to feel insecure about themselves, and they feel like that's what everybody else sees when they look at them. So, they decide to try to find a way to insulate their egos by dumping on the very people who took them in. That's supposed to be their way of helping to boost their little fragile self-esteem. They got to attack the very people who helped them cuz that makes them feel as if, "Oh, well, you know, you're not better than me." You know, normally when someone benefits from a group of people who take them in when nobody else would, when they benefit from a group who makes it possible for them to have a career and financial security, you would think that that person would be grateful to the group who made all that possible. It was the struggle of our community, specifically Southern Black Americans, that made it possible for this creep to even have a career. White people in Britain wouldn't spit on David Oyelowo. In fact, his situation was so bad that 11 years ago he was complaining in the white British media that black actors, and let's be honest, he's not talking about black actors, he's talking about himself. He was complaining that he couldn't get any roles on British TV. As he put it, "I shouldn't have to feel like I have to move to America to have a notable career. He also added, there's a string of black British actors passing through where I live now in LA. So, there you have it. Not only is this scumbag making a good career for himself because of us, but he also has a bunch of other fellow tethers living in a little enclave there in LA. He's living here now because of fact we made that possible for him. As he sees it though, it's beneath him to have to take any parts playing as a black American. That's the real problem that he's got. He doesn't mind if he gets short shrift from some white British casting director. Or if he has to sit there and play some bit part on white British TV shows or something. He's fine with that, but the fact that he has to play a black American, yeah, it reminds you of Gandhi, doesn't it? See, in the movie they had it where Gandhi was on the train and when the white Brits told him that he needed to go to the back, he decided that he would walk rather than that. That's the way it was portrayed in the movie. Like basically, I have more dignity than to be sat in the back, but the real problem that Gandhi had was that they wanted him to sit with black people. He didn't mind being put in the back of the train. The white folks could boss him around. He was fine with that. But the fact that he would be forced to keep company with black people, why, he'd rather walk. That was the reality. That's what actually happened. Gandhi was a stomp down anti-black racist. And this is the exact same well that David Oyelowo draws from. He's better than a black American. He shouldn't have to play a black American role. Why, why shouldn't they be making roles for him so he could be a respectable British actor in Britain? That's what he's saying. So, there you have it. Far as he's concerned, we're beneath him, but he doesn't have a leg to stand on. This isn't about reality, it's about the mental dream world he tries to live in. And the fact that as long as these white media folks were giving him a check, he thought that he could be as anti-black as the typical white supremacist. And we all know his problem isn't that he has to come to the US to find work. After all, the United States is the big stage when it comes to entertainment. Nobody does it bigger, nobody pays more money than the US, and his white peers like Benedict Cumberbatch and others, they don't complain. And speaking of complaints, notice how he says that he shouldn't have to move to America to have a career. Well, that makes two places this fool has fled from. He fled from Nigeria and he fled from Britain. He didn't build anything in Nigeria and he didn't bother to build anything in Britain either. But then again, what else do you expect from somebody who has nothing but moral cowardice and intellectual dishonesty? Of course, you notice he points out that there's a strain of black British actors in LA. Yes, Oyelowo, we know that there are. These white media producers and casting directors, they've created the largest job set-aside program in media for foreign flags. We get it. And it's not because they think that these are better actors, it's because a disproportionate number of these foreigners who come here share the same contempt for black America as these white media types do. And to think, there's always some tether, some bootlick, some foreign flag, some fool who has the nerve to ask, "Why is it that you black Americans always get uptight whenever there's some foreign black person playing the part of a black American in a movie? Why do you guys always get bent out of joint about that?" This is why. This is the entire reason that we've objected to it and we're determined to shut it down.
David Oyelowo is the perfect example of the problem here. He didn't come to the US to try to create opportunities for black people any more than Idris Elba did. Now, there's another punk who made a career out of cosplaying as one of us. And last I heard, he's trying to make a movie studio in Africa. He's not doing anything to try to give back to the black community in America who lifted him out of poverty and made him rich and famous. Without black Americans, Idris Elba would still be some wannabe DJ playing gigs at some hole-in-the-wall underground dance club somewhere in London cuz that's what he was doing before we helped him out. He had nothing before he came to the US. He had nothing before he came to us. And while The Wire wasn't necessarily the biggest show on American television, it was definitely a big show in Britain. They loved that show over there. And that's what made it possible for him to be getting shows like Luther afterwards. That's what happened to him because of the success that that show had overseas. But the truth of the matter is had it not been for black Americans, there wouldn't even been the role of a Stringer Bell for him to take in the first place. That's what needs to be said. Go back in the archives of this channel, by the way. You'll know that when he came to the US and he got the role of Stringer Bell, even the white producers on The Wire knew that he wasn't right for it. You can watch the interview that Idris Elba did with Trevor Noah where he admitted that when he was auditioning for The Wire, those white people at HBO had a bet going that he was a foreigner. It was just that obvious that he wasn't from the United States. They could tell it. Everything about him gave it away. The only reason these tethers have careers is because of our struggles to fight for representation in the media. You got TV shows in Britain showing black people over there even though black folks in Britain are like 4 or 5% of the population there. But you wouldn't know it by looking at the media there and that's because of the massive impact of American media. America sets the tone for the world and black America sets the tone for America, especially when it comes to what's being seen in front of those cameras. We did that. You didn't have those white folks over there in Britain deciding, "Well, we're going to start making some roles for these black folks." No, what happened was because American media saturates the world, they saw the representation that we had and that had an impact on them. David Oyelowo may complain that there's not enough roles for black Britons, but had it not been for us, there wouldn't be any at all. He wouldn't even have the few little crumbs that he had over there.
All you got to do is look at what happened at the Bafta incident. Every single black British actor, TV personality, and anyone in their British media should have been raising hell about that. They should have all been getting together to storm the British Parliament or at least the offices of the BBC. They should have been demanding heads on pipes. They should have been demanding people be massively fired. Any black person with any sort of notoriety in Britain should have been all over that. But let's be honest, they've never done that before. Even they admitted it. Black Britons were amazed when they saw foundational black Americans put our foot down or rather put our foot in the behinds of those racists over there in the BBC. We made the scumbags apologize and then took their tail between their legs. Yeah, because we're built differently over here. But apparently, that's what David Oyelowo considers to be subservience. He has a strange definition of the word. He thinks that it was these white media people who gave him all of his opportunities, that all he had to do is stay in their good graces and he'd be fine. But now, he's worried that the same way black Americans mobilized against the Baftas and against Cynthia Erivo, well, he's thinking that maybe he's going to be next. He knows that without black American audiences, he would have no career. Clowns like Idris Elba, they know this, too. That's why Elba was out there claiming that he didn't want to be considered a black actor. That was him signaling loud as he could to the dominant society, "Yoo-hoo, um I want you guys to watch me more so I'll have to I'll have to be dependent on these black Americans." But of course, he's not alone. Your boy Godfrey, he gave this piece of dirt Oyelowo a platform to spew his filth and didn't even take him to task when he did it. He was sitting there cosigning that mess, giving him an atta-boy, agreeing with him. And then afterwards, Godfrey's been trying to do the whole garbage about, "Well, I mean, he he he doesn't know any better. David Oyelowo, he comes from a different country. He He just doesn't know any better." Family, we don't allow that lie. This is someone, David Oyelowo, who spent his entire acting career pretending to be one of us. And whenever he's been asked what qualifies him to portray the role of Dr. King, or of a Bass Reeves, or of a Tuskegee Airman, what the hell qualifies him to portray a black American, the very first thing that Oyelowo would always reference is that he knows so much about us, how similar his own personal experience has been. Oh, it's all about black, you know. The only difference is the accent, don't you know. Idris Elba would do that, too. See, when it comes to anti-black imagery in Japan, or in Europe, or Mexico, everybody runs to the go-to lie that, "Well, they're not from the US, you see, so they don't know any better." This is the same David Oyelowo who was whining and complaining about racism in Britain when it comes to black people being given opportunities in TV. He knew exactly what he was saying, and he knew exactly what he was doing. What he didn't know is that there was going to be this big a backlash about it. See, he figured, "Well, I'm not exactly John Davidson. John Davidson's a white guy who did this stuff on TV. He was a pretty easy target. Me, on the other hand, I'll be able to fly under the radar. This will be a victimless crime. I can go ahead and get away with it. And if there is some sort of disruption about it, if there's any sort of controversy, it'll blow over soon enough. I can get a pass. They won't notice. They won't do anything." And he was dead wrong, like he's been wrong about everything else. And speaking of wrong, Godfrey's been called out about his cosigning this garbage, and he's been crashing out. Oh, he's been trying to pretend as if, "I didn't have anything to do with that." Man, he was a-menning everything that David Oyelowo was saying. He was a-menning it and saying, "Facts." and all the rest of that. He was called out for not checking Oyelowo, and instead of admitting that he was wrong, he defended the bastard.
Family, when I've mentioned David Oyelowo in the past, it was never complimentary. He hadn't done anything to that point that was obnoxious enough that he deserved to have enough of my time to have a video made about him, but the stink was on him. You could smell it. And the same thing goes for Godfrey. Haven't you noticed that you've never heard me mention his name before? And now you know why. You have these people who come here from countries that they fled from, countries that their superior culture failed to build up. They come over here where these subservient black folks are, people who actually stood on their own two feet, and who didn't just take abuse from every Tom, Dick, and Harry in Britain and Nigeria, and then they make money pretending to be one of us. These foreign flags have gotten extremely comfortable with disrespecting us, and it's gone on for so long they think that that's the way it's supposed to be and that there's never going to be any penalties for it. And this is why delineation had to happen, and why it was the right thing to do. The people talking about Pan-African unity, how is any self-respecting black American supposed to unify with this? David Oyelowo is now in the same pathetic company as Cynthia Erivo, and his career, what he thought there was going to be of it, where he calls himself trying to play Joe Louis, I think the reception for that one's going to be a hell of a lot colder than he was expecting it to be. These clowns do this stuff and they think because they got some white casting director or some white producer in the Hollywood Hills patting them on the back, they feel like they're getting away with something. But we have the ability to make sure that they don't get away with anything. And if the black grassroots has anything to say about it, David Oyelowo's next role will be in the unemployment line. And there won't be anybody eager to see him there, either. Good day, and be one.
I'd like to take a moment to mention some of our contributors, Mark Anderson, Abram Pruitt, Semesta Hobson, Glenda Tyce, and Jeremy Jones. Salute to them and thank you to everyone for listening, liking, and sharing this message. Black empowerment only exists because of you.
