American comedians are African American actors. Notable Negro scientists

In anticipation of the release of a wonderful film on ivi " Hidden Figures”(the premiere is expected on April 12), we decided to touch on such an interesting and almost unknown issue in our area as a cult black movie, as well as the most interesting black actors and actresses.

Samuel L. Jackson

That one-of-a-kind Jules, the preaching gangster in " pulp fiction". Born in Chatnuga, Tennessee. His father left the family, and little Sam was raised by his mother and grandparents. In general, there was little to indicate that Samuel would become Hollywood star and even a cult one. Except " pulp fiction"On his account there are still such tapes as" Django Unchained", several parts " star wars», « Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" And " Hateful Eight».

Eddie Murphy

Once upon a time, this guy could be called the No. 1 black actor - the peak of his popularity came in the 80s. He is still listed as the best and most important black comedian modernity. He is best known for his role as Axel Foley in the film series Beverly Hills Cop", as well as the main roles in the films "Swap Places", "Boomerang", " Dr. Dolittle», « Trip to America», « How to steal a skyscraper"and others. Murphy also recorded music albums and voiced several cartoon characters, including Donkey in the cartoon " shrek and its sequels.

Halle Berry

Halle Berry is the first black actress in the history of cinema to win the Oscar for Best Actress. She is also a Golden Globe and Emmy winner. In her filmography there are such super-pictures as " Cloud Atlas”, several parts of“ X-Men ”,“ The Perfect Stranger», « Die but not now"and others. She is also a model, a shark charmer, Catwoman and just a beauty.

Will Smith

At the beginning of his career, everyone perceived this guy as their comedic merry fellow. The men in black and a hip-hop artist. But after the release of a wonderful film " The Pursuit of Happyness”, it turned out that he was a wonderful dramatic actor (something that did not work out, for example, Eddie Murphy). Then there was another biographical drama " Ali", a philosophical picture " Seven lives"and one of his last works" ghostly beauty».

Octavia Spencer

Yes, in Russia, unfortunately, this actress is not as well known as she deserves. First, she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for " servant". Secondly, where she just didn’t star: these are the series “ Ambulance», « Secret materials”, “C.S.I. Crime scene", " The Big Bang Theory", and more than a hundred films, among which" Divergent», « Seven lives" and of course " Hidden Figures».

Morgan Freeman

We fell in love with this guy as soon as he appeared in the legendary drama " The Shawshank Redemption". He was even nominated for an Oscar in the category "Best Actor" for this film, but received it only 10 years later for his role in the film " baby in a million". It is simply impossible to count his cult roles - there are several dozen of them. It's absolutely legendary actor and we are sure that someday he will be given an Oscar for special achievements.

Omar See

The same guy who will remain in our hearts forever, like the guy who played the role of Driss in the movie " 1+1 for which he received the Cesar Award. He has a lot in common with his main character - Omar was born in the family of a cleaning lady and a worker from Senegal, as expected, in a poor area, the 4th of 8 children. He has also worked in such films as " Chocolate», « X-Men: Days of Future Past" and etc.

Whoopi Goldberg

The queen of comedy, despite the color of her skin, is universally and popularly loved by Whoopi ... And how can one not love her at all ?! She has never had a standard beauty, but her talent overshadows all possible limits and standards of cinema. One of the few celebrities who has won four major American prestigious awards: Oscar, Grammy, Emmy and Tony. Her collection of awards also includes two Golden Globes, a BAFTA and a Star on the Walk of Fame. Undoubtedly, Whoopi Goldberg is one of the brightest black Hollywood stars of all time.

Forest Whitaker

This modest guy with a charming smile became the fourth African American to receive an Oscar for Best Actor. The award went to him for his role as the President of Uganda, General Idi Amin, in the film ", for the last of which she was nominated for an Oscar" as Best Actress second plan. Well, global success came to her thanks to the role of Cookie Lyon, the main character in the series " Empire". The role earned her a Golden Globe.

When we think of scientists, it is impossible to ignore even for a second that the contribution and services were made by black scientists or African American scientists, what influences and developments in science and technology the descendants of Africa brought to the world. Few of these great scientists and their inventions know the world, which are used in Everyday life simple people. Still, they are worth remembering.

Even with Percy's success in the field of science, teaching assistant positions were denied at top universities because white students didn't want to learn from a black teacher. Along with his studies, he continued his work as a research chemist. He became a pioneer in the field of synthesis of obtaining medicines from plants. It was actually his work that provided the basis for medicine, birth control. It was related to his research and his work led to the availability of pharmaceutical companies in the production of synthetic drugs, subsequently banned.

Bro, we present to you our most (in) politically correct top. List of the coolest PE (black guys). In order to evaluate the best of the best and the blackest of the blackest, the authors had to get into the black skin: buy herbs, listen to rap and steal a car from a white neighbor. Fuck yeah!

NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT TOP
PART 1 OF 3

Perhaps very soon the times of total, senile political correctness will come, and all whites will be forbidden to even hint at the fact that blacks are not very white. The texts of Mark Twain, for example, are already edited - the word "Negro" from the "Adventures of Tom Soyer" is deleted, which means that we may not have another opportunity to recall the cool black guys! Therefore, we will do this while black is still black, and not some kind of dark white there.

To emphasize all the black energy and all the dark magnetism of the representatives of this top, we designed the article in a radical black and white style. Moreover, blacks will not lose anything from a lack of colors. Oh, somehow it sounded politically incorrect, sorry, we did it on purpose.

Yo!
The article is written by blacks about blacks and for blacks. Full understanding of the text by whites is not guaranteed. But just in case, white boy, keep the hints:

Footnotes:
Bro- Brother
Brotherhood- lads
Bullet- a year in county jail
Chingasos- this is a fight, not what you thought; whatever you think
Crew- team
drug- drug
gang- gang
Gat- weapon
Jail– zone; zone - prison; don't get out of prison
Loot- rob
Nigga- black
playa- one who has achieved great respect, a player in a big game.
respect- respect
Sell- sell
Skill- money
Steegmat– gay
Tecato- heroin addict
Wiggaz is the whites that portray a nigga
White figurine- Oscar.

Take a close look at the faces below. These black guys were not tough enough for the list of the coolest blacks in the history of cinema.

Everyone, forget these losers, bro. Let's get down to business.

In fact, Tony Cox did not make any significant contribution to the development of world cinema or at least strengthen the position of the black brotherhood - until a certain time, he, like the last black man, generally hid in the skin of an ewok with George Lucas. But what would it be a politically correct top without a dwarf?

Harold Perrineau, who really deserved this right, should have opened the list. He survived in Alaska with two whites (Hopkins and Baldwin), he survived in real world on the ship of one black (Fishburn), he finally survived in the experimental prison "Oz" with everyone in a row, and put pressure on pity by cutting through there in wheelchair. But where is he with his chair against Tony Cox, who is shorter in a standing position than Perrineau in a sitting position. Moreover, Harold was crippled only once, and Tony was a dwarf every day without days off and lunch breaks. Yes, and he has such a surname that caresses the ears of any black guy!

Profile: Dwarf, just dwarf.
Career zenith: Crushed the arrogant head of security shopping center. Black, by the way.
Respect for: I didn’t swear in front of children, I didn’t fuck fat women.

At first, we wanted to choose the best of the Wayans brothers, i.e. Marlon, because he is funnier, but they remembered in time that the black lads do not leave each other. You have to help out your brother, you have to drag him along - it doesn’t matter if it’s for a drink, in a gang or in the top of the best black guys. Moreover, in South Central, they made a rustle together. And yet, if you choose the best, then this is Marlon - lying unconscious in a drug frenzy.

Alas, the glory of crew Wayans is already fading - there are too many whites in Scary Movie and the franchise has been safely bent. You have to survive with stupid roles in second-rate blockbusters, such as Cobra Throw. What else is left? Just sell drugs, loot women, or work as a security guard for Eddie Murphy.

Profile: Smoke, blunt, laugh.
Career zenith: Marlon almost became a successful dealer, but became too attached to his product.
Respect for: Sean is a couple of years older than his father!

Tragic stand-up comedian, a friend of Charlie's Angels and Danny Ocean. True Tuff Dog, for three years coolly concealed from the public the disease that eventually killed him, and all this time continued to earn skilla.

Lived to be fifty years and fifty five films, participated in every picture of the trilogy about how famous actors Hollywood rob some rogue with a couple of their own casinos. Pushing Sam Witwicky the Autobot Bumblebee. Funny played the very head of security of the shopping center, who was crushed by the dwarf a couple of positions earlier. RIP, bro.

Profile: Joker.
Career zenith: Personal show named after himself.
Respect for: Volitional character.
Ma name is ma name: Fuck yeah, didn't change my native name.

The top wouldn't be complete without the first African American to win a white statuette for Best Actor. It was in the furry 1963, but come on - blacks still remember this and whites are not allowed to forget. Poitier went to Olympus gradually - first he gained the fame of the best black actor of our time, then caught up in fees with the worst white actors, and then - incredible! - and at all went on a par with the best. In addition to the American Film Academy Award, he received a BAFTA and was awarded the Silver Bear at the 3rd Berlin Film Festival. And all this during the struggle of blacks for their rights! By the way, they still achieved their goal - now in the States it is officially forbidden to call them blacks. So in the history books they will write that the Negroes fought, fought for their rights, and then disappeared somewhere at once.

Profile: Mind and nobility.
Career zenith: Free of charge, but not without consequences, he built a church (“Lilies of the Field”).
White figurine: Pioneer!
Rap (crossed out) Jazz: Reads (crossed out) Plays.
Respect for: He was not a member of any gang, but he is still a role model for every Afro ... well, you understand who.

Like many blacks, at first, Martin could only make whites laugh - at school, nightclubs and episodic roles to the cinema. In 1993 he became the host of his own television show"Martin", which instantly became the best in the United States. Trite, but true: after this success, Lawrence went into all typically black heavy - he took up drugs, joked unsuccessfully in live, loudly divorced his wife, was accused of sexual harassment, attacked a visitor to a nightclub, swore dirtyly, brandished a cannon in the street and even tried to carry a weapon on a plane, in general, did everything possible to create a heroic halo around his figure. The authorities were imbued and sentenced him to corrective labor work. The image of the black victim of racism was successfully completed, it was time to make money - and Lawrence fired hits "Bad Boys", "Diamond Cop" and "Big Momma's House". By the way, fun fact: In the trailer and poster for Bad Boys 1-2, Martin's name came before Will Smith. Ah, nostalgia.

Profile: Laugh, swear, sometimes fight.
Career zenith: He received $ 16.5 million for the Black Knight. And it’s not even that it’s large sum(the actor later received 20 each), but that Chris Tucker was originally considered for this role, but he was kicked out because he asked too much - $ 15 million. These white people never learned to count!
Respect for: American censorship, which did not allow the use of the word "ass" on the air more than once, made an exception for the Martin show, which Lawrence took advantage of not without pleasure. Asssss!

Named after his father, in turn named after the island of Cuba, Gooding is accustomed to playing sickeningly good guys, but he looks best in military uniform("Military Diver", "Pearl Harbor", "Red Tails").

In 1997, People magazine for some reason included the actor among the 50 most beautiful people in the world. Now it is no longer as fresh as before, and times big roles never came, so we can admit that Cuba did not become a superstar and will not be, but American dream yet brought it to life.

Profile: Your guy on the board.
Career zenith: Received a personalized star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for long service. And now his name is trampled on the moccasins of some local whites.
White figurine: Yes, but only for a supporting role (“Jerry Maguire”).
Sport: Spoke at the closing Olympic Games In Los Angeles. True, not as a special guest star, such as Paul McCarthy, but as a backup dancer with Lionel Richie.
Respect for: Doesn't really stand out, but works hard on the black brotherhood image.

A charming actor with scars on his forehead left by a car accident from those distant times when Chivitel was 11 years old. Most are familiar with the role of a conscientious scientist in the film about the death of mankind, who would you think, Roland Emmerich (“2012”), as well as the role of non-negative husband Keira Knightley in “ real love". Of course, he starred in Spielberg's Amistad, where at one time they drove all black actors who did not demand millions in fees. In texture, Ejofor more than any other suits the role of Othello, whom, in fact, he played in the famous theater production. Best of all colleagues in the shop knows how to portray surprise. I tried myself as a director and screenwriter, but for the fifth year it has been quiet on this front. We wish him success, however, and don't be a pussy.

Profile: bug-eyed.
Career zenith: Of course, the logic requires to indicate the role in the beautiful blockbuster "2012", but we know that, to be honest, today the zenith of Chivitel's career is the mini-series "Shadow Border".
Jail: Shit no!
Respect for: He stopped Sheriff Rick from picking up Keira Knightley, and he had to switch to Sarah Callies.

One of Ocean's friends, the first black sleeper in the film industry since Lance Reddick, and a man deeply immersed in poker. For the reasons of the latter, he needs skilla and knows a lot about them, which is why in the film industry he is busy not only as an actor, but also as a producer. By education, however, not an economist: bro graduated from the Institute of Arts.

In acting extremes, mimicry is capable of being both the most revealingly tragic black man in the world, and one of the most fun. Winner of the Golden Globe, but he could also take the award for the owner of the most giant nostrils if the Actors Guild invented it.

Profile: Bad gambler.
Career zenith: Chingasos with Iron Man.
playa: Fuck yeah, poker player, producer, actor; bro only plays big games.
Respect for: The best non-spectacular explosion in Hollywood history, in Ocean's 11.

As it turns out, Tucker and Rock are completely different people, but - damned! - for whites, all blacks look the same, and here they also have same name, and both did not disdain stand-up humor. The guys will have to make room and stand on one step of the pedestal. Moreover, they would have been much lower on their own.

Tom Chris, who is Tucker, has almost nothing to be proud of - he pulled the Rush Hour trilogy with Jackie Chan and infuriated Bruce Willis in The Fifth Element - that's all of the important. That Chris, who is Rock, is doing a little better, the filmography is wider (more than 4 times), and indeed - he was at least entrusted with voicing a zebra (“Madagascar 1-3”), and this is almost the same achievement as donkey Eddie Murphy in the Shrek tetralogy.

Profile: Joking in any position.
Career zenith: In 2004, Rock was named fifth Greatest Performer in the genre stand up comedy on Comedy Central.
White figurine: Shit no! But Rock led the 77th awards ceremony.
Respect for: The semi-biographical series Everyone Hates Chris was filmed about Rock's childhood, which lasted 4 seasons.
