Why Eddie Murphy Says Blacks Don’t Work Together In Hollywood - Here's Why

Listen to Patrice O'Neal take on spike lee

Same goes for Martin Lawrence too he put a lot of ppl like Tracy Morgan

To be featured in either of those comedians films at the height of their career is the biggest leg up one can get

Eddie put Martin Lawrence on too. Eddie recommended Martin host Def Comedy Jam.

Facts 💯

Great point

Eddie spoke out against Racism in Hollywood at the Awards in the early 90s. Nothing new , he's been in the fight just in his own way. Look at all the writers on Delirious and Raw who made it in Hollywood.

Naw ...people see him portray characters like Rasputia(abusive), dreamgirls(drug addict), shrek (literally a donkey), trading places (con-man) that demean the black community and they don't like it. Its ez to understand. 🤷🏿‍♂️

@Romeo ThePLUG that's the whole point. He takes despicable roles for cash.

Truth! Love your comment!

Life was Anthony Anderson's first movie.

Faxxx, Eddie also put the Wayans on, they were already in comedy, but Eddie used his influence to help get them more face time

Facts he put alot of up and coming black actors/actresses on the scene but Spike isn't talking just about roles in a movie. He focused more on positions of power i.e. directing/writing. Unfortunately we will never truly know how much leverage someone really has over the hollywood power structure. I do believe a 'Black Hollywood' would be something special holding the same 'power' Bollywood and Nollywood have in their respective countries

I feel where both of these men are coming from. Spike wants us to use our power when we get it to uplift our black culture and give some opportunities. Eddie is saying I’m doing that but in the background because if I do what you’re doing then a shutdown is easier to happen because they see it coming. Black Wall Street is a prime example of that. If they see us in the rear view, they’re going to block the passing lanes. To be honest, they both need each other in the fight with their respective view points. Spike runs defense/distraction while Eddie runs offense/scoring for this thing to work.

@@host2498 It takes a generation of millions to hold us back! Actresses en actors of today are the producers of tomorrow. Just like Eddy said, he cann't storm in alone looking like a fool. He and Spike are creating an army of art and creativity

Far from it LMFAO... FUCKING FAR FROM IT... Not even CLOSE. Malcom was OVERT, even MLK was FUCKING OVERT lmfao... His LAST clip seemed to be more on scale and par and he unironically DESCRIBED himself in that last part, about his earlier career.. Notice he was scared in his corner getting his not wanting to upset HENCE the talk of them WHISPERING "in his own home"........ Mind you it WASNT it was STILL on Paramount's SHIT! He over TIME helped a handful but not at all to the scale he could have, I mean after DECADESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs of course you've "helped a lot" but point was not to a potential scale he could have.. this is EDDIE MURPHY.. he was the BLACK Star Up... *now no one is saying do the most extreme shit and HEY maybe he would have tried and tanked Thus not being able to help ANY of the many black stars he did go on to help. He seemed more logical and understanding In the last clip where he spoke on the matter. *cue you aint reading all this, that go to cop out meme to dodge. lmfao

@MAHOGANY B. this is why we fail. We have to have open discourse.

Facts Eddie Murphy did open the door for a lot of black peoples

Eddie even paid tribute to his forbears in comedy by bringing together for Harlem Nights such as Richard Pryor and Redd Foxx, Malcolm X's buddy from his days as Detroit Red.

I dont like Eddie's gross movie roles. He is an A-list actor yet all his roles are drug addicts, donkey, homeless. Ugh

I'm interested in this. Wat has he done?

like what

Chris Rock

@@cceatl negative

Yea. But now you got somebody like Tyler Perry. Who owns his stuff. Yet he too big headed to work with other people. He can do so much more with the Tyler Perry Brand.

@@brotherLee340 I'm glad you said that. That's been my biggest complaint about Tyler Perry for Years. You have your own black studio and your in a position of power to help black filmmakers like Ryan Coogler, Berry Jenkins, F. Gary Gray, Antoine Fuqua, and Ava DuVernay. But instead it's just another vehicle to launch his own brand.

You said a mouthful baby

@@quentingray643 I agree

@@brotherLee340 I agree but maybe its fear like eddie said everytime you open up spaces for black people , they end up dead

You’re absolutely right, there’s a right and there’s a wrong time for everything.

My sentiments exactly!

I think that both camps should be making an effort to understand each other's positions. Instead of throwing shade at each . We need radical people like Spike Lee putting pressure in the frontlines, while your diplomatic people like Eddie Murphy can be behind the scenes. But if we are all working in unison, with the same goal and time frame in mind, we could be making a lot of progress with the same obstacles we are facing now.

Literally what i said when he asked

Financially. Money talks, b******* walks. Its the only true way to win. All the other races that came to America, understand this. Until we put our money where our mouth is. We're just going to be spinning in circles.

Truth

Yeah, but it's easy to practice brotherhood, when someone starts on top and pushes everyone else down to do it.

u white????

I don't have enough tea to sip lemme get something stronger cuz this comment IS ON POINT

@@ralphyetmore Every race practices brotherhood except ours....but we talk a real good game. So it can't be about who starts on top.

I agree . They are .some don't see it they are very got you making a nut out of your self

So... Hollywood had to be called out for racism because most, if not all the producers who run or own production companies are white? It took white people to employ these comedians and actors, made them famous and got payed handsomely for it, they are simple an employee, so they cant demand squat. Figure once they(blacks) make it big, have millions to spend, they're more than welcome to start their own production company, then they can hire all the blacks they want to curb the complaints by their own, but do they, nope, because they would rather bask in the limelight of success and still complain about total nonsense. smh

@@Bige4u you still need distribution to deliver the content to the audience and black folks do not control distribution *_at all._*

+Bige4u u don't think back in the day when Hollywood producer/directors were all white, they were biased toward hiring only white actors? Ur solution, rather than correcting their behaviour 'just make your own Hollywood lol' it's not that simple my guy, it's a multi billion dollar industry

He sure did. He hipped us to the “one negro at a time” game that Hollywood runs. He just said it with a smile on his face, instead of a Spike Lee scowl so it doesn’t get as much acknowledgement

Quiet doesnt solvev problems, you have to ignite fire for changes, somebody who is quiet is for self.and protecting the devil.in this country rich or poor.they want black to always divide.

@@rogerringold616 Bro, leave the Knicks out of this. Lol

Is there another one? Abd most of not all, besides Eddie, were way past their primes

Harlem Nights, my Eddie Murphy movie. Classy, legendary cast, funny as hell. One thing about Murphy, his movies make black people look powerful, strong, like to say, yeah, black folks look good too. In Boomerang (corporate and executive), Coming to America (Royalty) and Harlem Nights (classy and stylish). Only thing was they put TOOOO MUCH make up on Eddie

@@skeebo9322 Pryor, Foxx and etc were legends and the film was done to honor them all on screen together.

@Walter Brown my point exactly. A lot of legends in this movie and all were funny as hell. I'm sure Eddie musta felt blessed being in the presence of all those classic actors and actresses.

@@skeebo9322 Both Boomerang and Coming to America depicted Blk ppl, American and international, as beautiful, happy people who run successful businesses without handouts from white ppl. That's very political yet subtle.

Truth💯

Exactly they are clearly to different types of talents... so them working together mean what? What would they do ? Is the question one is very super militant and the other is super jovial ..so yeah I dont know and Eddie has put some man ppl on its crazy

@jason Laface I co-sign on the pointlessness of this vid. Motown moved into film making in the 70's. Then there were the Cosby & Poitier collabs during that same era. How did those happen if blacks don't work together in Hollywood?

If you were black and showed up at the casting call, you made it in Coming to America. And that movie is considered a classic by anyone who has seen it. Many different races and backgrounds love the movie.

Anthony Dargan that’s a VERY good question. I wish i had an answer.

I think society. As a whole puts stock in actors and entertainers, most times they are barely educated. But for many of they have the talent it can be a quick, but not sure, way to become wealthy. The problem is people equate wealth with knowledge and are always asking famous people about their opinions.

spell check always changes words.

Entertainment is our gift. And it's not frivolous or less than other gifts. If we treated it as a real commodity we could change our own lives.

Right!

@Pharoah Blackgod definitely 👊😔

its pointless. if you have to tippy toe around or get shut down then you have no power at all.

Agree...it's one thing to call out a Ben Carson or Clarence Thomas and another to call out a brother or sister who is contributing to the cause in their own way.

But both have to respect the others style.

What racism exactly

Woodbridge's Finest what? Why?

what we call success aint success at all. all of these "powerful" men have done nothing with their power. 1 callous cop just changed the world.

He does. With all due respect the fact that you've never seen it before is more on you than on him. The character he played in Beverly Hills cop was the FIRST time that a black man was played with any alpha energy at all. Richard Pryor (RIP) had to soft shoe, it wasn't time yet . Eddie was the FIRST man in hollywood that played a black man as cocky, arrogant, irreverent and in control of anyone in his surroundings....including whites. That may not SEEM like a big deal now, but it was and he caught hell because of it.

Wasn’t he? So articulate. Like I actually see the journey he’s talking about. He’s lowkey, consistent and he cares for his own.

So was everything Spike said

FACTS

Ultimately this shows how powerful the 2 would become if they came together. I liked both ideas. There's room for both.

Not so fast. Does Spike Lee over compensate at times in a manner that is reckless? Yeah Does Eddie Murphy know damn well he's the token across the board in most projects and do entirely too little to even put his own camp on? Obviously We're right back where we started!

Both are right

Gotta stop believing the blacks don’t work together hype, all white people do not get along and are guilty of some cut throat backstabbing underhanded crap many with major consequences ie. Bernie Madoff, 2 world wars, Enron etc.

@Mitch Gill like eddie said we have been treated so bad we are inhertley scared. "we even whisper in our own house." both make great points.

Eddie Murphy is the franchise player for Paramount Pictures. But he does not own it.

BLACK people do NOT unify as ALL THE OTHER NATIONALITIES PERIOD...we definitely need to do better because if we don't were NEVER going to achieve equality

You gotta take what Faizon says with a grain of salt. He's a tough lover. All those guys came up in the game together, so although some stuff he says sounds harsh he's got love for them all.

Eddie also wrote and directed that movie too.

Tyler Perry is the #best example that everyone's ignoring, own your own studios, stop begging the white man to bring black in their own thing. They're always been afraid black people will take over in economic, it about who has the #power, that's why there's a racist system to subjugate us. Black lack unity because there's no plan or vision like what Marcus Garvey had. For this to work our vision has to be greater for us black people.

The media wanted them against each other because they were two black gifted men with huge platforms. Whole time I've come to find out they each had a mutual respect for each other.

yeah Mike had leverage but he had an extensive collection 2 and to be truthful they really didn't have a beef so to speak it was more or less competition but truth be told Michael Jackson and Prince wrote the song Bad but Prince didn't put it underneath his name and didn't want to sing it and Michael bought it from him out right so they couldn't really have beef if they doing songs together Michael and friends have similar backgrounds they was both Jehovah's Witness raised was in the industry from Young both was very fervent about their business even though Prince was a tyrant listen Mike even show Prince love during a James Brown performance James Brown call Michael on stage not even noticing Prince was in the building as well Michael pulls James Brown to the side and let him know that Prince in the building and then he calls Prince up there they all did they rendition of it's a man's world. it really did hurt Prince that Michael passed away because of anybody in the industry Prince seen him as his equal and definitely besides his fiercest competitor they was two sides of the same coin note Prince never said anything about him being a pedophile cuz he knew it wasn't true

Kaleah Collins amen I remember reading an article with Michael Jackson and he said he has to write down his songs immediately because god gives him songs and if he didn’t capitalize God would give them to prince. That is a huge compliment he saw prince as his equal.

they realized that in the end. started making moves. you see how that ended...

@dumpyou dinoun And I believe that's why MJ was murdered.

It should be fought exactly how Morgan Freeman says it should: “Stop talking about it.” Stop saying “a white/black cop did this to a white/black person”. It should be “a cop did this to a person”. Stop dividing people & their actions by color. Simple

@@bignastytiger4174 That's the dumbest shit I've read in a while. How in the hell do you expect to eliminate the bane of our culture by NOT talking about it. The suggestion that you can somehow stop structural white supremacy without calling it out and actually discussing its ongoing effects is absurdly naive. I'd love to see rich Black folks like Morgan Freeman and Sam Jackson who say this kind of stupid shit try to exist down here on the same plane as the rest of Black America. They wouldn't last 5 minutes without their money and access. 'let's ignore race and everything will be fine' just idiotic.

Almost all on BET when Brother TP is going to be a little more creative like making a actual Black Wall Street film or doing a story of Bass Reeves or Marcus Garvey or like motivating Black People to Unify of helping 1 another in the name of Black Lives Matters instead of hurting Each Other over poisonist garbage for Our enemy!

Better yet if Brothers Spike Lee, Tyler Perry, & Eddie Murphy would actually come together in Unity to be a Joint together like possibly a Black Wall Street film or something like the Banker or Get On the Bus to see whatever had happened to those Brothers after the Million Man March no comedy stuff there's plenty of that on BET & all over!

Exactly. I just had a similar conversation about the financial blackout and group economics. Mfs won't even give up processed fast food and other irrelevant materialistic things. And those are the same ones talking about unity. Our people have significant spending power. I believe if these corrupt businesses get hit where it hurts, they'll get they collective shit together and we could rebuild our communities and create real generational wealth.🤦🏾‍♀️

Claudetta, I said the same thing to my eldest son a few years ago. We we standing outside of IHOP one sunday for brunch. I said to him, if black people were not to dine out, not purchase clothing, only support our movie, if there wasn't any black movies out, don't see anything. Buy our children's clothes a little bigger so as not spend for about 2yrs and just not spend unnecessarily for 2yrs, the economy will suffer greatly. That's a sur fire way to see how much we contribute to the GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT.. White people would respect our money, especially if we banked what we didn't spend. It wouldn't take 2yrs for them to notice. 30 days will do. I wish I had a magic potion just to do that with us, because we would never do it collectively, not even out of curiosity. And that breaks my heart.💔🤤.

SMFH bro real talk! Imagine Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen not forming Dreamworks studios for the sole reason that one of them couldn’t decide who the leader was. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ Black people have to get over this ego Bullshit.

I think in certain situations, it makes more sense for the alpha entertainers to build their own fiefdoms. It's not about separation. This leads to more black people being hired underneath. The talented ones joining together just to bump heads isn't necessarily the best thing. They can still collaborate for projects, but this way creates more jobs for the black community in general.

Valid points but look at spike lee . Dude could easily create tons of movies or shows but he didn’t (as Murphy ) . IMO spike lee more bite then bark while Murphy just did his thing without make a big deal about it for the most part and was smart about what to say to no burn bridges or close doors . While spike Lee’s just didn’t care about what he said or did till it bite him in the ass or causes problems . IMO of spike just did his own thing without causes a storm or pointing the finger he better in a much better place then he is today . as time has shown any actor or director of any color that has started problem or picked fight always got ignored or the people or studios that wanted to work with them dryed up like Mel Gibson or rosanne .

Charlie Murphy Was The Coolest Man I Ever Seen. And Eddie Murphy Can Imitate His Brother To A Tee.

@Patty Maeda, it's a ole skool thing.

I know right! I know there's black folks that would cop out to saying "white people do it too" but that's not the point or subject matter.

And we're actually realizing ourselves catching ourselves doing the shit right in the moment of it and still continue to do it. I really do hate that shit. I'm a guilty party in this on occasion.

True

They can do it...Tyler Perry built his empire making movies for black women. His target audience made him rich. Stallone did it with the Expendables franchise. He contacted all his co-stars DIRECTLY. It won't work if all of them demand to be paid 20 million for the movie though. Chris Tucker will have to take a pay cut lol. Probably all would have to take a percentage off the back end profits, have no ego, (if coordination's an issue...they gotta treat it like a funeral (who misses those?) film in Canada (Where it's cheaper) and do a comedy. (Comedies are cost a lot less budget-wise, easier to make and easy to make a large profit off of. Just look at all Marlon Wayans movies, Ice Cube films etc.) This isn't to say they can't make a high-budget, high-grossing film...but if people are afraid of losing their ish...then minimized risks are the way to go. Actually...they should all pool their money/talent to do a Boondock's movie. They'd all be voice acting so no need to worry about the social distancing. DONE and DONE. Or just make another Blade movie/Coming to America (think they are making a sequel) with all black cast lol. Can't say I enjoyed Dolemite...and finally...Oprah, Jay-Z and the Obamas can help produce it under aliases...even JK Rowling used a male pen name during her career because she didn't want her target audience to dismiss her for writing books for young boys. It's possible, just a matter of who wants to see the end result more than anything else. Like Michael Jordan winning championships with the Chicago Bulls. 150% devoted to the end result above all else.

Damn, that would be nice. It mjght require a trillion dollar budget.

Spike Lee has become buckbroken. He’s got no fight left in him whatsoever !

@@dr.alexander7039 Correct.

So was Prince and he gave money for Malcolm C - Spikes movie without any fanfare.

No happy ending.....I think that's why it was good... it was funny and sad....

@@natashiahotwheeljones4025 It was a happy ending in Life Ray and Claud got out they was old as shit but they was at the Yankees game

Watch the internets boy & think of iran contra, gulf of Tonkin, mk ultra, bay of pigs. We're all devided. The system is even failing white collar people so it's time to unie before job vs people ratio fully disapears. They have greenhouses fully automated from seed to shipping using robotics, hydrophobics, & 3d laser scanning in a European country that takes care of pollution of rivers from pesticides & chemicals to grow, air pollution from tractors, & waste of water table & much more.

watched life 12x and cried 6x, the other 6x I (there were other people had to hold it in!)🤣

@@AcClay44 imma check it out

I’ve been asking the EXACT same question for years now.

Chappelle asked that question. But I think it's primarily because masses learn through movies and art.

I agree celebrities are not your politicians many of them are oblivious to social injustice of us common folks.

And stop blaming Whites for what the jew does.

A very close friend of mine worked on 3 Spike movies and she said just the opposite. She said it was always a learning experience and class was in session when he was on the set.

Is your podcast on RU-vid or is tht the link??? I'll check out the content facts only way we gonna win is by supporting eachother

Whats your podcast name I’ll follow and give feedback

E Dolow indeed

why did you capitalize every word?

Dwoprus - Simply because he’s BLACK lol! Why does it bother you tho? 🙄

I heard that.

Everyone trying to get their piece but there's always another black person questioning another black person's piece....damn shame

In the French territories of Martinique and Guadeloupe (Caribbean) we call white folks "Zorey" in our ancestral language (built around west-african languages and erroneously labelled French-based creole) which literally means "ears"... That fear of being heard by the white folks has survived in all descendants of enslaved Africans in the Americas, in my opinion. The same goes for the way we fail to overtly unite when we could be doing great things for our communities. Those who dare get a target on their backs for their efforts. They get dragged through the mud in popular media (and now on social media too) so that their credibility crumbles fast. It's not just a U.S. thing, sadly.

Very underrated comment! Couldn't have worded that better

Create their own EVERYTHING

@Ra Swoosh --- Lol!!!! Stop!

@@RooseveltAliWashingtonX no he's right, Tyler Perry is proof to that

@@ldrdatribeoflife5072 --- Lol!!!!

It's the same for Black female actors too. As Nia Long once pointed out that she and others like Sanaa Lathan never get cast alongside with bigger actress like Halle Berry as her "best friend" or such.

Also, despite how many people kept saying about MJ, MJ hired many blacks for many things. Also it was black people when he felt the most comfortable in being his true self. He would curse, speak about women (even ones he dated), speak in his real actual deep voice & etc. around HIS PEOPLE! It's usually whenever he was around white people when that public persona MJ appears! I love that MJ had hired Spike Lee for his TDCAU video & didn't mind at all working with or even befriending fellow Black people. & let's not forget how much he loved himself Diana Ross! Diana is not some light-skin, biracial looking Black woman!

Neely O-30 he truly was a king of the people

@@markilew250 Fans Black or White should always take up for MJ because those trying to be in charge of history, is steadily trying to destroy his incredible musical legacy. All because he stepped on the White man toes when he bought the entire Fab five's catalog, lol.

@Pauline Richards Yep!

Not entirely true. Martin and Will worked together. Will or Denzel bought the rights to the old Sydney Poitier and Bill Cosby movies and were in talks to do them. Harlem Nights...Life and lots of other movies make this statement questionable.

Did you even watch the video my guy?

When they tried to work together, they were both replaced. What Eddie is saying is true. They don't hold the power.

Easier said than done bro. Too many Egos that get in the way of success and accomplishment.

@Andre' Alston I know. I wonder what happened.

Will couldn't hold Denzel's jock strap. So no. I disagree. Now, Denzel with someone else on his caliber, then yeah.

@@JohnDoe-kz4gy shut up. Will is just as capable as Denzel. Denzel just picks better projects most of the time. Even in his lesser movies, Will is fantastic.

@@VickStarkiller Will is still just a level below Denzel.

Rasputia or mrs klump?

Its called acting people know he's not a woman.

I agree

Yeah

@Jarrel Ely eddy murphy %100 him

@Jarrel Ely why them two?

I've seen that. That really makes the white opposers find ways to prove that black folks just complain. I think the feeling powerless dynamic and kept in a cage no matter how high you go that has historically been the trend for black lives so much that we don't know what we want.

I have a slightly different take. My take is geared 90% towards black men,.and it's about one word. That word is Negotiate. In today's world, we as black men ha e this thi g about being a punk. I'm talking strictly about business and opportunities, not being punked in the streets. When.it comes to white men and business, black men lose their self worth for some reason. The toughness goes to the wayside, and they become more submissive, for lack of a better word. When bruthas get together, the attitude is all about "youre.not going to punk me" or "I ain't no punk". Look at it this way. We have MULTIPLE millionaires in all facets of entertainment: sports, movies, music. Some blacks are on the frontline and some are in the production/manager side. You mean to tell me that if a white producer/management company won't do said thing, that we can get together and do ourselves like Tyler Perry did? Take Lavar Ball, for instance. If he truly wanted his own shoe company, he should have started with black investors. He should have hired the right team.for marketing, production, manufacturing, etc. No, he wanted to.do it all himself knowing that wasn't going to work. I guarantee if he would have had the correct business plan with the proper people heading each section of the business, it would have worked. This is whata wrong with black men. We thi k we are so tough that we dont need each other. But, WE DO!!!

That’s not what dude was saying. Eddie knew the game there are only so many “black” spots in Hollywood films. Lots of talents but few opportunities awarded to black people ....if he demanded too much they would ruin him and find some stand in to copy his style and replace him. They key is to owning a studio and film distribution company annnd a chain of cinemas. The entire supply chain has to be involved to call the shots. Whitey ain’t having tht.

@@ShallowExistence if you're comment is directed at me, I said "I agree with Eddie." Then I said "I also feel,", not "Eddie feels," meaning anything beyond that phrase is my own independent thought. Thanks for the explanation, but my comprehension skills are excellent.

....because black isn't just lightskin or mixed. We want actual black people. "Not the right shade of black" Is a valid critique if you understand black history in America.... If you don't...you say dumb things like what you just said

No so fast. I'm a U.S. citizen, my wife is from Cameroon, Africa. We both lived there together over 10 years. Africans are not together there either. Slavery has nothing to do what Eddie was saying.

Tyler Perry is kinda brand new tbh. He the type to take his ball and home.

Tyler Perry has rep of shooting whole movies in 5-7 business business. He's known as a mediocre filmmaker. Denzel Washington will NEVER do a Tyler Perry movie. You will see Denzel Washington in a Coen brothers film before you see him a Tyler Perry production. Tyler Perry doesn't have much clout beyond the Atlanta area.
