In this clip, Michael Jai White reacts to a new study that shows Hollywood loses $10 billion per year due to lack of diversity. While he hasn't read the study, Michael said he's interested to read more due to his experiences in Hollywood. He went on to speak about actors of all races being pigeonholed, and Michael pointed to some of his biggest roles not being strictly for a Black actor. To hear more, including how he plays a father to a white child in his upcoming movie, hit the above clip.
I love that Mike won’t even comment unless he’s done the research. He is a very intelligent man.
Exactly, they not losing, their just not profiting it.
Vlad: Do you think that's accurate?
MJW: I haven't studied it.
That's how you answer a question you don't know the answer to for sure instead of acting like you know.
That's because MJW is a genuine guy instead of just saying what he thinks people want to hear.
Micheal should of played Jax in mortal Kombat
He was jax in the Mk legacy web series
Maybe it wouldn’t have succed so bad 😂 Na it was OK
He already did
No, stay away from that hot piece of gaaaaabadge
@@dexterroberts631 is it really that bad?
For those who never watched “Black Dynamite”... treat yourself. It’s fucking hilarious 😂
Classic
Right I seen the series and the movie bruh.
“Bitch, do you see us?!?” 😂😂😂
"Let me get a hot dog cut 4 way's baby"...
never seen it
Blood and Bone was 🔥🔥🔥
He fucked Bob Sapp up. Had me in tears.😂
Movie should have been in theatres. They are so racist they rather lose a billion dollars then show black movies.
Cuz thats what he breaks
"Where dat nigga booooneee?!?!?!"
Facts that's a good classic if u ask me
For some reason since podcasts and TH-cam shows got popular, I don’t really give a shit about tv or movies anymore
I do agree with that you I do podcasts and TH-cam
Me too!
Reality is so much more entertaining these days.
I love movies but i notice now i can barely watch one without looking at some shit on TH-cam on my phone and stopping the movie lol
It's true I watch podcast show & shit on TH-cam hell I only watch 3 tv shows and that's all on Hulu
We need a Blood&Bone 2 and 3! Like IP Man! Challenge all ethnicities and styles, like Bruce Lee and IP man did in their movies! Start a fundraiser or something for the movies if you need more money to make them! You and Wesley Snips should be kicking A##!
Theres an audience waiting to watch dat movie, I'd these guys wanna make some big money they need to look in the comments and see what the people want! We most definitely want a blood and bone 2
Don't forget Falcon Rising, that was a good one also.
Fun Fact: Michael Jai White was an extra in the 1992 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze 🐢💙❤️💜🧡 Fun Fact #2: Kevin Nash played “Super Shredder” at the end!
Yup
Tell us something we don't know
@@damienlu7318 Ok.....MJW was also in the The Toxic Avenger Part II
Who didn’t know that
First off, when I saw I had comments saying the dumbass shit y’all was saying, like “Tell me something I don’t know!”, etc. The first thing that popped in my head, and it did so IMMEDIATELY, was these comments better not be on my post about the TMNT movie! Because y’all know damn well that ATLEAST 75% of people that have actually seen the movie didn’t know Michael Jai White was in it!! Kevin Nash MAYBE!! Considering the fact that Kevin Nash aka Big Sexy was a full blown house hold name at one point but almost nobody knew about Michael Jai White!!!! Shit I wouldn’t be surprised if y’all ain’t know that shit and just saying y’all do! But regardless, even if y’all knew that already, this comment OBVIOUSLY wasn’t for y’all then! Here I am t try naw be nice and tell
Folks some stuff that they would obviously appreciate knowing! Because if they are here then they Obviously fuck with MJW and if they old enough to of
Watched the original TMNT movie, then they would think it’s cool af that he was an extra in the movie.
Moral of the story: Stop being know it all dickheads? Yeah, that would work for sure!
The amount of black rich celebrities from movies, music and athletes. They could all put their money together and start their own Hollywood if they wanted too....but they dont cuz they really dont care....
Honestly!!!!!
Lol same with a lot of stuff . They could start a lot of shit with what they working with but it’s whatever, gotta fend for yourself outchea lol
Same way you can start something up bit you don't want to..
Tyler perry?
@@johnnypolo4589 But that’s only one person, he’s talking about all the black rich celebrities,
Tyler Perry about to call the homie like hey let's do it different let's do a why did I get divorced movie
Lol underrated comment 🤣😂
😂😅
lmaooooo
This about to come out and Ima come back to this comment crying laughing lol
Tyler Perry movies are lame.
Michael is a strong 💪brotha. Hollywood couldn't change him that's why I'm so proud of him. Much respect from Los Angeles 👏
And that's why he making b movies. Now
@@terrencebarber7461 and he still more accomplished and financially stable than you 🤡
@@DooleyDaKidd239 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@DooleyDaKidd239 swallow him more lol
@@DooleyDaKidd239 why you taking up for a GROWN MAN???????? ON THE INTERNET. WHAT COLOR YOUR SKIRT
They not “losing” anything lol.. they just missing out on what was never theirs to begin with
That's why Tyler Perry got wealthy from those terrible Madea movies! Lol
Thought it was just me that saw those movies as less than B-rate. But he made a killing off of that shit. lolol..
I'm convinced that Tyler Perry is working for the Klan. He's done more to perpetuate negative black stereotypes than FOX news, and we black people eat it up and just say "Make Yo Money Boy"! Sad!!!!
@DaGoat No, I'm talking about his lame movies and TV shows! I now the difference..
@DaGoat A grown ass man acting as a women makes Black people look good. 😂
Black dynamite cartoon on adult swim was awesome, Better then the movie I think.
New Blood and Bone...make it happen!
They call him Bone cause.... i forgot what he says lol but i know it was funny as hell
@@why-so-seriousx6192 because he breaks em
Dude a blood and bone part 2 would be fuckin great
R.I.P. Kimbo Slice
I’m talking to you Patna! You got to count to 5, what? 1 , 2 , 3 you just signed your own.......... ba ba babbababab babba babbabbababa bbababa ba
He fought the Most complete Fighter in the world....obviously he is going to be the Fighter guy...
Who is this Most Complete fighter? Don’t remember what You speak of happening. But regardless of who it is, I would say him being in the ORIGINAL Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II would be the reason for him being the fighter guy 😂😂
@@lukadoncic7070 ........Boyka.......
Yo. I was just about to say Boyka!!
All of those Boyka movies are the Shit💯
I forget the actor playing Boyka is a white guy lol
This is why TH-cam is killing it . People are sick of false narratives , slavery , and ignorant gangster movies.
The word Ethnicity was kickin his ass..😆
Oh that's very true. Black Americans, spending power wise, are ranked 12th in world economies. Most than a lot of countries and it's been that way for decades.
Basically if Black people aren't paying attention to your products you will take a hit. A big one. People better recognize. King talked about it in his 'I've Been To The Mountaintop" speech. The part America doesn't want its citizens to hear.
That data is incorrect sir...The data used is a misrepresentation of buying power vs consumerism. Always look to the sources of the sources and their reasoning
They high key need to put Black Dynamite as a guest character in Tekken👀
Michael Jai missed a chance to say "aren't these YOUR People, Vlad?"
6:19 ummm HELLOO “Undisputed”?? I love that movie, actually think it was better than blood n bone💯
The first Undisputed was Wesley Snipes the MJW did second. They are friends.
@@TOMBS4ART I know the Undisputed series of movies but MJW one was the best imo
@@alakazam25yearsago8 big fax
The thumbnail is the typical VLADTV guest after 30 minutes
MJW, You will always be known as a martial artist, because you are good at it! Imagine Bruce Lee saying martial arts/Action movies does not define him???? We get you do not want to be type cast, but we all know you could be waaay bigger than what you are if you wanted too. That scene in Batman almost killed me, but that is hollywood! Big fan! What is a world without heroes! This is coming from a grown a## man! You should have Anime/posters/comic books!
He could do big projects if he wanted to most likely however Heath Ledger dying probably hurt his career. Jai's character Gambol isn't supposed to die in the scene there abut after Ledger's death they cut it that way.
Gambol was the first time I’ve seen Jai not doing ass-kicking. He plays a good boss fr fr
@@IncognitoSprax That sucks!
“You kno what I’m saying”😆
Michael always looks like he’s on the verge to attack !!!! Lol
That man has super control over his emotions, hes a professional fighter and hes a grown ass man I'd feel super safe around him
Thats the same logic American police have
no, he doesn't.
Ain’t nothing ever stood up and almost took my man out like the word Ethnicity 😅
Went to college with Micheal. Happy he doing his thing in Hollywood. 😊
He would of been a amazing jax for the mortal kombat movie
He is. Mklegacy
@@Zeekoso talking about in the new one them old joints was trash except the first one
@@pongunz1997 The 2 Street Fighter movies were the real trash lol, only the animated film did it justice.
@@pongunz1997 he said Mortal Kombat Legacy, the series that came out about 7 or 8 years ago. You're referring to the movies from the 90's.
MJW was Jax in that Legacy series.
YEAAAAAH❗️🔥
I mean not making 10b a year from lack of “black representation” is different than losing 10b a year. Glad loved looking like he’s shedding light on problems within the black community lol. Black movies or black casted movies are great most of the time but the fact is they don’t bring in the money they should. If they did trust me there would be a ton of them made every year. People in Hollywood will do anything as long as it’s bringing in a ton of money
😂😂😂
They bring in money.
Exactly glad stupid
@@nmonye01 I agree. People go to see them so they have to bring in money. What I’m saying is if they were bringing in 10b a year or some ridiculous amount of money I think we would see more. I just don’t think that they bring in as much as other hit movies just for the fact that the majority of white people who would go to see the avengers or a Tarantino movie or any big movie with a star studded cast won’t go to watch an all black casted movie. That’s just the way it is
This is where you are wrong. You will need to understand the power of movies and the influence it has on people worldwide. There has been many black movies made for a very reasonable budget that did very well and Hollywood dropped the ball and not followup with a sequel or create something similiar. There are powerful people in Hollywood who would rather take a loss than to do too many movies with black leads. Imagine if the world starts to see more black leads as powerful like the Black Panther.
Black movies are the best movies I’m talking the 90s and early 2000s movies only, it had deep messages like boys n the hood
F boys in the hood, paid in full is the realest hood movie
@@watsappenin2865 Menace to society..
@@5tubbs814 no menace to society and boyz n the hood are good movies dont get me wrong they're amazing loved watching them but paid in full is a whole different world of acting and storyline
@@watsappenin2865 you look like you from New York and you hate la lol!
I really respect these interviews with Michael because he's intelligent he offers a great perspective and he doesn't have that "East Coast Superior" complex mind and thought process the way Lord Jamal did.
✊ town bizznes
When vlad laughed..all I could think about was woody from toy story
The best movies that sell are rush hour, lethal weapon, never die alone so on and so forth where you have two different races playing lead roles
Everybody growing they hair out
@@Jason.cbr1000rr lol he'll beat your corny ass with that "silly" hairstyle.😄
@@Hewhodoesntgiveafck hell beat you too! Stfu
@@Jason.cbr1000rr you hate what you don’t understand
@@Jason.cbr1000rr Aboriginal hairstyles frighten you huh.
I love how bowing you can start your own movie company now anywhere the world as long as you pay for the equipment. Man technology can be a blessing or a curse depending on if you use it or how you use it
That's true for me. There's certain movies I won't watch not because they are not good but because I have yt fatigue. Would like to see people that look like me in a more diverse set of circumstances. Not just slave movies. Not just hood movies. I'm fatigued of those type of movies too.
Blood and bone is the first movie I seen him in but black dynamite is my favorite
BLACK DYNAMITE IS MY FAVORITE JOINT BY MJ .
I threw that shyt before I came into the room lmao
White’s bracelet is pretty dope
This guy is straight Black Panther where you at Marvel?
Black Dynamite is the funniest movie ever created
Black films used to be lit🔥🔥nowadays with the exception of a few theyre all just the same rehashed stereotypical things..hollywood need to show less slaves and gangsters and more black excellence
Should've been Jax in mortal kombat
he was...the better one
Theres still black movies being made. Its just that they go straight to Red Box or video on demand and shit like that. I dont know why they dont get more appeal regardless if theyre good or not. Maybe the market its just saturated with stupid super heroe movies every year and people wanna see that shit..🤷🏻♂️
You see how he leaned in waiting for that question to go left?!😅
White Dynamite, Asian Dynamite 😭😭😭💀💀🤣
And that’s why the MCU should recast T’Challa immediately
I havent studied that! I Love his disciplen... There is no harm in saying " I dont know" belief is for sheep, Michael Jai White is clearly not a sheep
I saw that Mortal Kombat web series where he played Jax
Black Dynamite is a blaxploitation film. Blaxploitation is a sub genre of the exploitation genre of films starring and marketed specifically to black folks. Basically, change a few jokes and references here and there and you CAN turn it into a film starring a white, Asian or Hispanic/Latino performer...
What up Mike?
Dynamite , dynamite, ha I threw that shit before I came in the room
Just seen this brother in "Why did I get married". His acting wasn't that great but his character was pretty funny. I think he probably has become better since that movie.
White dynamite......well 😂 I might watch that, I'd watch an Asian dynamite too
This is so true.
I respected MJW's Principles
I’m waiting on you to get outta prison on Family Business
Dope show!
about 90 to 95% of the highest grossing movies of all time, are science fiction based, or fantasy...because anyone and everyone can be in them. It doesn't matter if you're Black or not.
As it was said in Concrete Park
"For Black People, The Past Is Painful, The Present Precarious, But The Future Is Free."
I wanna see michael j white play a gangster role similar to Wesley in New jack I think that would be dope.
Batman movie
I think they should have him playing blade in a multiverse situation
That's a wild stat....
We don’t have many chances!!💭
The world need more black movies
Hollyweird also is bankrupting its self. Their LACK of creativity & these “remakes” of films that men were the leads & “remade” them with woman.
Mike is a VERY INTELLIGENT business man who pays himself from the movies that he makes . He runs EVERYTHING. He may never win an Academy Award but, he will NEVER STARVE.
I dont watch movies. I play videogames and occasionally watch tv on netflix. Hollywood is failing because people like me dont spend money on their garbage anymore.
Blood and bone was wack. But that jail scene was amazing. He was tearing those dudes up lol 😂
Movie had good fight scenes but the acting/story outside of a couple actors wasn't the greatest. That is the reason it was a direct to dvd movie. It has it's place as a popcorn action movie where you turn off your brain.
MJW needs to be in the Grimm reboot
Recreate the blaxploitation genre. Just make it more modern and hood, but with a higher budget than the trap flix movies
No. No more 'hood' movies. Make an African American fantasy movies and TV Shows. Make an African version or a Black Panther version of Africa. That would be more interesting.
@@darkvalue505 how about both
i disagree with mike on this.... they had a scottish guy (butler) play a lead role as an egyptian (EGYPT IS AN AFRICAN COUNTRY) that dont sit right with the zulu nation
Love how he said oh its an artical from new york times and stops thinking micheal is gonna just agree bit instead sits there and waits for vlad to explain but vlad speaking out his ass couldnt explain just read a piece of paper
Tyler Perry ain't complainin.
He has to play Michael B father in a movie one day
I don't know how accurate that figure is but I can see it being at least half a billion. If every ethnic group had more representation then the movie industry would make way more money. People get sick of watching white movies, we need more Black, Hispanic, and Latino movies
Why would a business trying to make money not make money just because someone is black 🤦🏾♂️. This has to be a fake
You are assuming that racism follows logic....it doesn't.
Racist don’t use logic.
@@nmonye01 yeah but they know money
@@hbb7528 When you have hate, everything is irrelevant...even money.
10B jeeez , had no idea lol.
Blood and Bone, one of my favorites. "Knuckle up!" I wonder what happened to that Asian guy?
He went back to never never land lol
It's a shame that even the "invisible hand of economics" can't overpower ethnic bigotry.
If I can afford to turn down a ten billion dollar investment. How much money am I really generating for myself ?
Ethnic dynamite works universally.
MJW does play in good films I even like the Tyler Perry movie He was in. It had a sequel
Blood and bone was my joint
Why is it that we can get an all black sports team, yet not a black film 🎥?
Vlad.....SPIKE LEE, can you get him on here?
What happened with Outlaw Johnny Black?
Make sense because Tyler Perry definitely picked up the slack
Isn't it funny how population percentages is always a point made unless it's to point out negativity or representations being equal per population!
Mike seems like he's getting tired of doing these interviews or these questions vlad be asking 🤔
Blood and Bone still good to watch
You gotta see his Tyson movie vlad
I would watch Asian Dynamite
Maybe it's because nobody watches those lol
My headline: Blacks lose 10b a year not owning they own movie studios
Mike is our Bruce Lee
Damn Michael Jai White got 7 movies coming out dude getting that work. Black Dynamite was awesome. Now Undercover brotha 2 I couldnt enjoy that movie.
It was pretty bad
The only reason this man rarely got work in Hollywierd is because he TOO MASCULINE. Notice when he got his role in a Tyler Perry movie is masculinity was challenged and he was made to look weak to a woman despite being near physical peakness in 2007 and 2010 (Between Blood and Bone and Black Dynamite), then he got the role in “Why did I get married” the TV show and all his Size and chiseled frame got flabby smh.... This is my dude but.. this is what the agenda of the Feminist Movement wanted to accomplish. The fear- spread. Label the men as toxic due to the strength and abilities of men being grandfathered in while the Women are low key the Toxic spreading ones.
Am I the only one who unsubscribed still watchin the new vlad interviews?
He’s the coolest
That’s definitely TRUE... u betting on the wrong team....
