>Winning Oscars and promoting big blockbuster movies shouldn't have anything to do with the color of your skin, according to Kevin Hart. >At a press conference for the movie The Secret Life of Pets on Thursday, Hart told reporters "people will look for any excuse to play the race card in Hollywood." >"I think in this day and age – look – it is what it is," Hart says. "You want it to be more diversified, you want to see more diversity, but a lot of people make attention and draw attention by talking about it whereas if you just work and progress, you eventually put yourself in a position to help the problem by bringing more people into the business." people.com/article/kevin-hart-secret-life-of-pets-race-card-hollywood
He's just saying this so mainstream audiences will like him.

Dylan Watson
Kh is legit funny when not scripted. He's not my cup of tea but he does what sells and he's not egotistical about it.
Wyatt Watson

you gotta be really, really good at stand up if you're black, its more of an uphill battle. White stand ups can get by being mediocre as white audiences will empathize and relate to them as an individual, black comics however have bridge that divide.
We don't see the Black Dane Cooks or Carlos Mencia because they never get that far without getting that majority white audience on board. Unless they go full opposite and play specifically to niche black audiences like Kat Williams and Steve Harvey. Kevin Hart does that to an extent, but like a softer Chappelle, his experiences about life being black in America are relatable or comprehensible enough for broader audiences to get it.

The race card is a double edged sword. You use it to expose racism in a system, yet at the same time it undermines your own competence because people question whether you deserved any of your accolades or if you only got them to appease your race baiting.
I think Hart is right about this, the best way to fight any perceived discrimination is to use their not inconsiderable wealth and influence to bring in more "outsiders" (read: minorities). That's how the Jews work, once they get to a position of power they hire their Jewish friends and relatives, give them contracts if they're in a related industry, invite them to parties with important people to help them get connections. Because Jews live in such close knit communities they're able to blob up in industries like that, blacks tend to become isolated from other blacks once they get rich though, so it's not surprising they don't pull others in their group up with them once they make it big.
Nathaniel Cooper
There are several good O&A broadcasts on jewtube with him and the big guys from the east coast circuit where they tell stories about when they first met him and helped him. He's extremely humble, and funny imo. Reminds me of Snoop's rant about the Roots remake.
Carson Cook
Is he even black hung?
Jason Bell
Naw if he wanted to get on their side he'd say the opposite.
Landon Moore
Im sure his great great grandpappy was.
Angel Harris
Meanwhile Anzis Ansari.....
Liam Wilson
Martin Lawrence.
and I'm not sure how good Kevin Hart is. He's no chappelle or chris rock. Very likeable on talk shows, but I haven't found him super funny.
Hunter Bailey

Bentley Bennett
He also beat that faggot Draymond Green in a 3 point competition. He's alright.
Joshua Nelson
Is fucking JLaw
Henry Lopez
rate him highly after i saw him in 'comedians in cars', he seemed so genuinely happy and excited to be hanging out with Jerry, like he really respected him and wanted to learn and get somthing out of the experience.
Yeah he's great, he talks about how he used to be Lil Kev the Bastard for a long time but it wasn't working, he's been around for years and years and years and it's only recently he got big.
Patrice O'Neal said he was. He told everyone about it all the time apparently and then Kevin went and told everyone about the time he caught Patrice jacking off and Patrice got pissed at him because at least his story made Kevin look good. Heard that on some radio show someone posted here. Worth a search if you like Patrice.
