she is not wrong

I do wonder what the comparison is between black men/white women in Hollywood?

[misoras]

It depends… idk what dramatic black male actors get (tbh has one spoken on it?) but comedians like Chappelle, Rock and Tucker got obscene amounts. Though Chris Rock had that joke about how he lives around white doctors but he has to earn millions blah blah. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a “as long as I get mine” attitude.

I deliberately didn’t mention black men in my comment above lol.

Also, there’s sth in “black famous” circles that i’m sure the pay disparity seems more stark in but idk enough to comment. I think… Terence Howard spoke about pay right?

Howard walked from Iron Man because he was the highest pair star on the first, was promised a raise for 2, but then they suddenly cut his agreed salary to pay RDJ significantly more after the first was a hit.

RDJ made less because he was so expensive to insure and a big chunk of what would’ve been his salary went to insuring him.

But it still didn’t make sense that they’d suddenly have to pay Howard less.

Chadwick Boseman starred in a movie, he also produced it, with Sienna Miller and fought for her to be paid more. He ended up using part his own salary to cover what the studio wouldn't. Fuck these studios!

This was a pretty big budget film, and I know that everybody understands about the pay disparity in Hollywood, but I asked for a number that the studio wouldn't get to. And because I was hesitant to go back to work and my daughter was starting school and it was an inconvenient time, I said, ‘I’ll do it if I'm compensated in the right way.’ And Chadwick ended up donating some of his salary to get me to the number that I had asked for. He said that that was what I deserved to be paid.” https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/chadwick-boseman-boosted-sienna-miller-s-21-bridges-salary-from-his-own-pay/

I know we’re not supposed to think like this but the fact that a man like him died young and a man like Donald Trump gets to live just fills me with rage.
