Has Mo’Nique Been Blackballed In Hollywood? – The LanceScurv Show

A Wonderful, insightful, revelatory and magnificent commentary. Mr. Daniels
told us much more when he said “the Game” than he probably realized. I was
taken aback after he said that even before Mo’nique addressed laid this all
out so we would be able to see the other side of this. I will support
Mo’nique’s new projects.

I think she messed up while giving her Oscar winning acceptance speech. She bragged on not playing the game of campaigning. I felt that she should not have done that.

Another insightful post, Lance. I thank you.

As always, the truth is somewhere in the middle. I do think that its hard for black actors to procure roles and tell/develop/produce interesting and diverse stories in hollywood. BUT i also think Monique is difficult, tone deaf and indelicate. There’s a video floating around here about her calling Hollywood a “bit!ch” and she commended the academy (oscars) for once not being political. There’s even a guardian article where she describes herself as “tactless” and that her husband is the one with the tact. Somewhere we as a people got that keeping it real and telling it like it “T-I-IS” was real cool. But most of us don’t go into our businesses or JOB beating white people over the heads with our feelings of injustice. I don’t lead my presentations, on how I’m the only black woman on my team. There’s a way to navigate the system. And playing the game is a reality. Keeping it real will get you REAL fired, alienated, marginalized and broke and becoming annoying as hell to the black folks who COULD/SHOULD help you.

I find it strange , that Oprah is getting parts that was offered to Monique 1st….Who, knows, Oprah may have more to do with this than we know. Jealousy and envy is something to reckon with..It is also apparent D.Lewis has no real say for his work or the actor or actors he wants to play roles in them

GREAT REVIEW…………………….

Excellent video. I applaud Monique and her husband for getting their own rather than selling out.
