   When I came up, I think really the only black male lead was Denzel Washington, right before we came out with' Boyz n the Hood,' Wesley Snipes was in' New Jack City.' But now I'm looking at everybody. There's Samuel Jackson, Denzel, Idris Elba, Michael B. Jordan. There's a lot of people out there now.

4. Thomas Kidd:

5. Bianca (Mae Whitman) movie written by Kody Keplinger:

   you used to make me so upset, but now I just feel bad for you. Yeah, I'm somebody's DUFF. Guess what, so are you. So is everybody. There's always gonna be somebody prettier or more talented or richer than you, but it shouldn't affect how you see yourself. You label everybody to try to keep them down, but you end up missing out on all this great stuff around you. You have Wesley, and you treat him like he's stupid, but he isn't. And people don't like him because he's with you. They like him because he's, like, an amazing guy. Look, I like myself. I wouldn't wanna be anybody else. And I realize now that none of this matters to me. But it does to you. It's your dream. And I totally support that. Just don't tear me down for not giving a shit about your labels, because in the end, they're meaningless.
