Negro actors have to 'dive for the crumbs' of WHITE co-stars!


Taraji P. Henson is angry with whites and proclaims she was paid 'the equivalent of sofa change' compared to Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. ‘The math ain’t math-ing’Taraji P Henson speaks out about Hollywood pay gap. “I’m just tired of working so hard for whites, being gracious about what I do, getting paid a fraction of the cost. I’m tried of hearing my sisters say the same thing over and over. You get tired,I want more money"

Before "Benjamin Button" Brad Pitt was in: Fight Club, Snatch, Ocean's 1-3, Se7en, Babel, Legends of the Fall, Interview with the Vampire, 12 Monkeys and Thelma & Louise. He had 1 Oscar nomination.

Before "Benjamin Button" Cate Blanchett was in: The Talented Mr. Ripley, Babel, The Lord of The Rings 1-3, The Aviator, and Elizabeth. She also had 5 Oscar nominations and 1 win.

Before "Benjamin Button" Taraji P. Henson was in: Baby Boy, Hustle & Flow, Four Brothers and Smokin' Aces.

I think this answers Mrs. Henson's confusion.

Maybe she needs a better agent.
To try and make this about race completely negates any point she may have had. It’s a tired crutch, and nobody buys it.

reply

I think even having a better agent wouldn't change much. She would need to be in some box office hits to get money that is equal to them.

reply

Nah man, it CAN'T be logically about demand for her and market forces. It's gotta be the racist "math ain't math-ing".

Then go work for Spike Lee then if you're so unhappy with white people

I wonder if she would be better paid as a high line LA escort?

reply

Negro, please. Nobody calls blacks "Negroes" anymore.

"Empire" faded out pretty fast. After it's first season, ratings dropped dramatically each season. The buzz didn't last. Besides, that's TV. Where does she get the idea that she is a box office draw?

within the black community, complaining is an elite sport

Denzel is black and makes 20 million a movie. What does she say about that? Or does she ignore it because it goes against her claim.
F*ck her. She is a trash actor and makes trash movies that nobody wants to see that is why she doesn’t make more money. You’re paid your worth.
