Michael B Jordan Gives Powerful Speech On Racism At Black Lives Matter Rally
Michael B Jordan Gives Impressive Speech On Racism & Police Brutality In Hollywood Los Angeles
Popular actor Michael B. Jordan, gave a powerful speech during Saturday’s Black Lives Matter protest in Los Angeles, urging Hollywood insiders it’s high time they took a bold action.
“We are in the heart of Hollywood right now, one of the world’s most powerful industries and I am an active member of that. And they need to go on notice,” Michael said.
“Anybody that deals with me, if you have racist beliefs, if you have a racist bone in your body, if you’re not with me, if you don’t stand with me and people that look like me, you don’t need to be with me. I use my power to demand diversity but it’s time that studios and agencies … do so.”
The Black Panther star continued, “You committed to a 50/50 gender parity in 2020, where is the challenge to commit to black hiring? Black content, led by black executives, black consultants … So let us bring our darkness to the light? We’re done with discrimination.”
Kendrick Sampson who was also at the event, backed up Jordan’s speech: “I want you to spread the word, this is factual: The police system that we know today is based on slave-catching,” the ‘Insecure’ star said.
“The policing system started with a bad seed. It has grown a bad tree and it bears bad fruit … We need to imagine a world free of police terror. We call ourselves an industry of creatives. Where the fuck is your imagination?”
