Denzel is a jewel to the black community. We all refer to him by his first name alone as endearment. As a 31 year old millennial, I grew up on Denzel. His movies and acting have done a great deal to represent, black masculinity, black pride and black love. Subtly as he does it, it adds to the respect, favoritism and appreciation we as black people have for him. The way he holds his wife’s hand high to this very day I think is something any loving black person can aspire to. Having his kind of integrity is not just respectable and admirable it is a sense of excellence or even black excellence in it self.
Enough said, Denzel is absolutely right. He respects, his wife, his race and his "BLACK WOMEN." And he's not afraid to speak the truth about how he feels and sees it.
It's unfortunate there are not more Denzel's to expose. But I tip my hat to him for honoring and protecting us. He is a rare gem, especially from Hollyweird.
@@boogsybrooks well yes, that is a show where a black female has a lead role AND is desired. Why would they not? Did you not watch the video? The dirth of black women in roles, epscially leading is real. Of course, we still have a ways to go(Kerry Washington is still light skinned as with most other famous black actresses)
@johndoe Obviously, it's not the same. However, it is not my responsibility to explain that to you. Read a history book and figure out why. Black woman are constantly told that they are the lowest in American society. White women are exalted as much as a "woman" can be. So one man saying he would not kiss a white woman on screen does nothing to them as women. Literally a large percentage of successful black men marry and exalt them already. Someone supporting the most marginalized and disrespected group of women is not rascism. That is clearly what you are hinting.
@@realAfrican I just did. I am a 2nd Grade Teacher so that is as much as I will break that down for who I presume to be an adult. If you don't understand ... "Black Man" that's on you.
He is not the best black male actor, he is the one that can sell tickets just like Will Smith. Forest Whittaker, Don Cheadle and Chiwetel Ejiofor are better in my opinion.
@@sickathanyouraverage4404 JUST LIKE YOU DID. Instead of acknowledging ALL BLACK LEGENDS..You tore down one to uplift others. Why not just name them ALL as the best?? 🤔🤔🤔
This is very rare. You don’t see many black celebrities that care about the community enough without getting any financial benefit from it. His decision actually got a lot of black actresses jobs. Black people tend to be more individualistic and don’t think as a collective. Denzel is truly a pioneer. We would be better as a community if we all thought like Denzel.
Yep! And it's so sad because we originally come from collectivist cultures but ofc that has been ripped away and especially, the richer you get, the more the individualism becomes apparent. And it's important to note that this individualism isn't them just protecting themselves necessarily, it's literally just wanting to be individualistic and distancing themselves completely from their community. And that is shame because we could do so much more for each other and tbh you don't even have to do it at a super close range if it isnt possible to - advocating for the community is huge in itself. We could really help each other ALOT. We have the brains, the numbers, innovation, the style, the charisma, the personalities, the talent. WORLDWIDE. We all got it - it's a special gene from Mama Africa honestly, it's so special. Makes me sad alot of the time but it is what it is. Seeing it in Denzel is better than not seeing it at all tbh lool.
The producers of the Pelican Brief did not want him to kiss Julia Roberts on screen, because she was considered America's white sweet heart. Forgot about that? I remember a bunch of black movie goers calling that decision racist.
Because he a real one 👏🏾🔥🔥🔥🏆🏆. Never left his wife, never left his children, never compromised himself, never lost respect of the community! Real one!!!
Ikr! Reminds me of when the Braxton Queens wanted their mother to date. When asked what she wanted, Queen Evelyn said she wanted “a man who walked like Denzel!” Yes gawd! Me too. 😋
Denzel isn't just a great actor but he's a great man all around and I love the fact that he's been married to the same woman for almost 40yrs which is almost unheard of in Hollywood ❤
@@carsondouglas8600 I know that there are others but the video was about Denzel and I hate what happened to the Avants that was so sad but Kurt and Goldie doesn't belong on this list lol
This is the little stuff people could do. It's amazing how well Denzel can navigate Hollywood without ever getting caught up. It's the small things. More brothers and sisters can take notes on how to play the game.
Maybe the new generation can take note. I just see some doc on Kat Williams , as an example, when he was getting roles in Hollywood and stuff, he had issues outside of Hollywood, fighting, always in the newspapers for negative shit, snorting cocaine in the newspapers blah blah…..gets dropped and then blames “them” for going after black people and “they” have an agenda going after black people….no Kat…that’s you messing yourself up. Just an example. Denzil has always been super professional. On screen off screen. A true professional. And it’s funny when you are professional , and never in the newspapers for negative rubbish…..you have a fantastic career. If your a big star and can bring an audience, it’s not even about race. Look at recent Jonny depp, he got slaughtered in newspapers by that amber turd bird and got dropped from most Hollywood big film opportunities. He a white dude…
@@leonleon2276 Not sure what race you are but it is ALWAYS about race. That’s why the label us a color that is mostly negative in meaning, while they label themselves as “pure”. On Johnny Depp situation. All of his projects were put on hold. He won the lawsuit and he’s even doing a perfume commercial. If that was a black man.. Career over. Ask Cuba Gooding.
You can tell by Paulette, his wife that Denzel likes earthy, choice women and I'm glad. I also like that he's made his choice of who he didn't want to kiss up on and he's definitely on the Board of the Academy award. I always say, speak your mind. It might get you in trouble but it still can set you free!
He did an interracial scene with Mila Jovavich in "He Got Game". And he has done scenes in two movies co-featuring Latina actress Eva Mendes. So he has done more than the aforementioned. But I do respect Denzel's stance as it pertains to Black women. He has always shown that he values a black woman's self-worth.
because he is a.real man that honors and respects his own race unlike these other bm that are with every race but us like eddie Murphy. Michael Jordan, wesley snipes Charles Barkley etc!
@@lindahines9380 Uh, Michael Jordan was married to a Black woman for a long time and Eddie Murphy had a child by a Black wowan for cripes sake. Most professional athletes and entertainers are married to BLACK women. I wish y’all would stop this.
Well the white women makes a fool out of them, lay with them and have children, to secure their wellbeing, to in sure their security, and after that, they start acting up with them, cause now they are tired of playing the game, don't want them from the beginning, I guess most black men, think being with white women,feels it as accomplishment, I have watched this for some time now, even if he's wearing a military uniform, just like voultures, I think they hate the back woman who brought them in the world, and when she gets ready to devorce the black man for no really good reason, I don't feel sorry for him, white women wants child's support and alimony if she can get it, I saw this, with my own eyes, and after he falls out with his blood family, because of her,now he feels shame, and start loosing his mind, not strong enough to carry on, not caring for his own self.
Denzel and Billie D always personified coolness, class, and greatness. They never had to compromise their masculinity by wearing a dress in any role they portray. Denzel is the greatest actor of any generation.
Yes. I thought that too. Still think that about Denzel..& but then Billy Dee made those comments a couple years ago about referring to him as “herself & himself” b/c he sees himself as “feminine & masculine”.
So what? … it’s weird. At some point we have to recognize identity disorders for what they are and stop labeling them with such trendy things like “Gender Neutral” or whatever WTF else comes to mind.
@@lorenzosmith5932 you realize, that not only are you labeling his statement about himself weird because you don't understand it, but instead of giving some actual thought to it, you also put something on him that he didn't even say. Considering oneself as possessing both masculine and feminine energy is not only not weird, it's actually accurate, whether people acknowledge it or not. And, side note: gender neutrality is something completely different, and it would probably be a good idea for you to educate yourself just a bit more, before you make public statements on the subject.
Oh goodness, do we really need anymore reasons to be secretly in love with Denzel 🥰! Him and his lovely wife are so beautiful as a couple and as a true team! Loved this, and so true!
The same woman for forty years without having an mistresses or whores makes Denzel look weak and lame. Every successful man starting from Biblical times has had more than one woman besides his wife,fact.
Denzel had this conversation with Oprah years ago about not doing interracial romance scenes. It was a good interview. Denzel was very open during the interview.
@@ashasun6620 ...I know. I think the scenes are brief. he doesn't want to have an interracial romance on screen like where he's the lead actor and I think he's stopped kissing. Ect. interracially in movies. I don't know; I just know I heard what he said.😄
@@ashasun6620 did you even pay attention to this video, or did you just skip straight down to the comments? There were literally two, and you can't even really count Malcolm X, bc he's portraying a real person and that person's real life. Malcolm definitely had a phase in his life when he was having relations with white women, and not to portray that would have been inauthentic--not to mention, there wouldn't have been enough of a contrast between his life before prison, vs his life after. Those stills they kept showing from Devil in a Blue Dress didn't even belong, because that wasn't even what happened in that movie.
@@KiraBKADestroyerOfWorlds I went to the comments while it was playing, it's old news that he decided not to do those types of scenes with ww that rumor has been out for ions but yet in still he did other movies, so it's still false.
I thought he didn't make out with ANY woman out of respect for his wife. I respect Denzel for his decision. We don't need a full blown love scene to know characters are in love and/or lust.
dear denzil your sense of loyality is supreme...we need a 100 million more like you...thanks for understanding and giving us the love we need from blk men
That's ok.We shall see when it's all said and done rather ra e was all that important when we STAND BEFORE A HOLY AND JUST GOD.WE ARE SHALL SEE.ALOT IF US HAVE ALREADY SEEN SEEN AFTER DYING (PASSING AWAY) THAT LIFE IS NOT A GAME.WE WORRIED ABOUT THE WRONG TJINGS OUT HERE AIN'T WE🙄😁☺️GOD WILL TEACH US A VERY VALUABLE LESSON IN LIFE,AND THAT'S THAT THERE'S A BIGGER PIC AWAITING US BUT WE WILL NEVER GET IT IN LIFE BECAUSE WE ARE MORE WORDLY THAN SPIRITUALLY
Maybe this is placing too much on a person, but I've always viewed Denzel as a "man's man," a man black men like myself can look up too....and now I know why I always felt that way.
That's why Denzel is the most love black male in the movie in the street ever the respect is amazing, there's not enough of that and brothers can really learn from him 💯👑
DENZELLLLLL!!!!!!!! Ima 80s baby so I definitely grew up watching him n all I ever seen was greatness, on and off screen! He's always been an example of Black Excellence n always will be! He's ours and makes it known n carries himself as such. I just love me some Denzel, who doesn't? He's a LEGEND!!💯🙌🏾🙏🏾🥇💪🏿😍
2:29 the producers of the movie removed it, along with any "sexual tension" scenes. Julia Roberts stated, openly, that she was shocked it was removed and showed how much she loved Denzel, sometimes a little too openly, she was thirsty as hell at an award ceremony where they had to present an award together. Shit felt uncomfortable lol
Yes, it was Julia Roberts. I remember her trying very hard to be openly disrespectful to Denzel’s wife who was standing next to him at the premier of PELICAN BRIEF. She tried kissing him on the cheek . As if she was testing to see how loyal to his black wife he was. Like, no black man could resist a white woman. Denzel swerved that kiss quick! I remember that ish!
@@xalifornian A lot of White women can't fathom that a Black man wouldn't prefer them, because so many Black men do..I'm a Black woman, I had a blonde White woman who was interested in my children's father actually approach me(with our two children with me), asking me how I knew him.I told her that we had two sons together, and she still has nerve to say she "thought about pursuing him", because White women in Nashville are used to Black men salivating over them.I told her that we are both from Memphis, and my sons' father is originally from Chicago, and is very pro-Black, and prefers very dark-skinned women.She was absolutely shocked that a Black man had no interest in her, or in White women.Black people in Memphis aren't really down with the swirl.
I saw an interview with Julia Roberts a long time ago and she said she was very much with the love scene in pelican brief. She wasn't the one who chose not to do the scene.
She wanted a piece of Mr Washington.. Further proof that these scenes that we call "acting" have more that meet the eye.. imo Julia Robert's would've been my exception... But like all black after that Maybe sub for Angie... that's it!!
@Techno Pirate And the great thing about Denzel is that it is his personal belief and he didn’t need to publicize it to get cool points; he just makes sure the powers that be at studios know where he stands on the matter. He doesn’t do it to be called “brave” or whatever people today would call it by tweeting about it; he’s just a principled Black man not looking for anyone’s approval. They just don’t make men like Denzel everyday! 😍
There is nothing wrong with loving yourself and being with someone like you and your family. This new stuff is a SOCIAL MANIPULATION. Denzel is right. WM, don't like to see that and having to watch your back for a dumb reason, like a movie role is absurd. I respect men like Denzel for the example they live showing STENGTH, in our collective. This is in no way bigotry. This is how we all got here, fully melanated, right? Like I said "Social manipulation."
Look at Vin Diesel he never dates black women he is mixed yet too many black people, feel comfortable calling him black African-European men i.e. mixed race is not African.
@@johnashton4776 Most mixed black n white usually date white bruh. No surprise and no big deal. I didn't even know he was mixed til you mentioned it anyway. Lol
Wow. How well he navigated both sides of the situation is awesome. His allowing his co-stars to say they cut romantic scenes or to simply not say anything is gracious. It was also probably a slap to the ego of the beautiful actress who thought a handsome black man like Denzel would jump at the chance to kiss them.
Denzel I appreciate and respect you and your beautiful educated, classy wife Paulette. You are a good actor and great human being. Thanks for the years of good movies and your views on subjects not a lot of blacks have hearts to discuss.
I agree. Crazy thing is if it were the other way around, they would be canceled and all over the news and never have work again. Double standard is real 🤦♂️
@@princenaz23 It didn't but I don't think you stating your point as a "white man" holds any water. We already know white men will accept rich black men with white women.
As a black woman, even if there’s not a shread of truth to this (and I choose to believe that it is), the fact that a black male actor would even take this position, he has earned my respect.
I love Denzel Washington and his wife I am so glad that he stick with his Queen somebody let looks like him instead of reaching out to other nations of women God bless you Denzel
I'm grateful to hear this. I knew about Denzel being married to a wonderful black woman but I am new to the stance he had taken in the movie industry against kissing white females. I'm so impressed by him as an actor in Malcom X especially. I'm glad to know he took the stand against the hype of over estimation of what is not sacred amongst the up building of a community subject to massive division. Thank the Heavenly Father for Denzel Washington and his lovely and beautiful wife. I pray they be continually blessed by truth in the Most High always.
@@ChosenJudaHiTess_TheShemiTess ...agree. I have respect for all Black men who makes it in Hellywood movies. But this video proves and takes Mr Washington up higher. I respect him even more for what he does OFF the screen. Not many Black men have successfully did what Denzel Washington did in Hellywood and still is respected. He took a stand and showed them how to respect him. He is a respectable Blessed G.O.A.T., stayed with his beautiful educated intelligent Black wife, with his family and above all, with his God. Got love it.
I a 55yr old black man I say love who/ whom loves you! Personally I'm madly in love with my very dark black wife of 35yrs. # Make yourself happy, don't live for others approval.
Thank you! ...Finding someone you can trust to share your life with (color be damned) is hard enough without limits inspired by the collective of the ignorance in the world.
You definitely missed the point, Denzel loves black women and wants to show that on screen as well. He's living for him definitely not for you, I nor anyone else except his family.
I remember him saying this year's ago he said black woman is the one that made him who he is and he wanted to be loyal to them I respected him for that
You forgot He Got Game. He had a romantic scene in that movie with Milla Jovovich. I remember watching the Pelican Brief and just waiting for him to kiss Julia Roberts, to no avail… Respect,
Mr. Washington a man of principals and morals. History of what black man went through in regards to white woman should never be forgotten RIP Mr. Emmitt Till.
that's what gets to me. The history doesn't seem to bother black men as much as it bothers us black women. I guess the men of this day and age think it's cool what black men back then had to endure. If they don't care about the bad history why should we continue to defend them when they become victims in any form.
@@lilliathmanigault9397 Aye, the history happened so we get here? Those things had to happen so we have the freedoms we have now. The first woman I ever was with was white. Yeah, you should be knowledgeable of your history, but why would you use stuff from then to determine how you act today it makes no sense.
My man Denzel is still the most REAL brother in Hollywood. That's the most brotherly thing you can do within the entertainment business, .. reject a white woman! 🤔
AMEN, AMEN and AMEN again. Now that "role" is not acting but the real life. Thank you for sharing that. Much respect for who he is with God, his wife, his well raised adult children, the communities of give back to Black American children and SO much more.
Amen... back in 1985, while very young I bravely told a packed room of supervisors and co-workers, that Denzel would be "THE most celebrated actor of his generation". Little did I know Denzel was on the path to becoming an icon. I'm extremely proud of this Black Man and Brother (from Westchester Co.) and his lovely Queen, Ms. Pauletta. Both balanced role models. It takes incredible strength & depth to stand, speak truth openly, and actually demonstrating his values on & off screen. Denzel knows the deal. He is an Equalizer. Thank you Mr. Washington for eloquently honoring the natural beauty, light, and strength Black women across all generations bring not only to his to his life...but to any stage...any atmosphere, and anywhere we be.
Mr. Thompson, *EXCELLENT DELIVERY* Brother! You speak so clearly and distinctly! No ohhhh's or ummm, whatever whatever or foreal foreal! 😱 Enjoyed your verbal synopsis on one of the best actors of our generation! Thank you for your fine english grammar regarding Mr. Washington and his particular stance he's chosen....💯👊◼◼◼◼
BRAVO! GREAT video 🔥🔥🔥🔥 omgoodness why am i crying...why am i crying y'all...this made me miss college reading my.friemds essays..that was dope on so many levels...💯💯
yeah Jennifer beals is biracial with a parent of African ancestry but so is Paula Patton from Deja Vu but in this country as well as others half black is still considered black lol
@@avarice5071lol yet u cared to respond to my comment...im responding to a comment of that old narrative that half-black isnt considered black which isnt true ...there's nothing false about what i said im stating facts ..its has nothing t do with racial superiority
@@sonykent4940 I'm talking about in general, my bad got @ing you specifically but this super concern with staying within ones racist is so weird and racist. Black people don't realize how much they end up agreeing with white racist at times that it's amazing.
There's nothing different from a black nationalist and a white nationalist than their race. That's an obvious statement to me at this point, but some would still agree
Love Denzel, met him when I was younger, but you forgot his third time before 2020 of him kissing a white woman was the movie He Got Game with Milla Jovovick. Just to help.❤️
Why don't you throw hands with another black woman at walmart over something petty? You aren't a real black woman until you start doing that nonsense. Also make sure to defend your kids if they have commit the worst crimes against people who look like you. "My little D'marcis would never do that! He is a sweet boy!"
That's a great stance Uncle Denzel took on this matter. But I'm sure it's no different from black male actors refusing to wear dresses in Hollywierd also. I support this.
@@jayc5756 Never saw it myself either. Although I had a white female I once worked with ask me if I saw it and said she thought I would like the movie. Not sure what she meant by that and I guess I'll have to watch it to find out.
That's a good parallel to draw and I didn't think of it until you pointed it out. I left the music and entertainment industry cause it's WEIRD AS FUCK. Dangerous (in some ways) even.
Stop playing with Mrs. Pauletta! Apparently you all haven’t paid attention…. Denzel knows what he has. Pauletta fine as wine, all the way into her 60’s! Still got the Angela Basset body! Beautiful, intelligent, classy and talented!
I remember him saying something like this back in the 1990s, but he seemed to have changed. As one of the comments brought out, Denzel did some kissing with Milla Jovovich in _He Got Game,_ but he was also in a recent onscreen marriage with Frances McDormand in _The Tragedy of Macbeth._ Washington was Macbeth and Frances McDormand was Lady Macbeth.
Denzel Washington deserves every respect and accolade he’s received. He is a shining example to us in the way he conducts himself, and holds stead fast to his principles. I'm a big fan of his. I think we also have to remember that two people can simply fall in love. The only thing that matters is how they feel about each other in this instance ;the question of race is not a question for these individuals. Instead; it questions societies maturity in accepting love overrules all, especially when you’re in it. I wish us all the kind of luck Denzel Washington has in finding that life long love regardless of race religion or creed. Let’s hope that the human species evolves enough to realise when you have love in your life that is a big deal. Common sense tells us; If it’s bad reject it, if it’s good accept it! No doubt the world can be a much better place.
This is why I love people like Tyler Perry, Robert Townsend, Spike Lee, Oprah, Lee Daniels, etc in leadership roles who owns the power to hire and fire whom they choose....and they have stellar actors and movie going power.....we don't need acceptance and validation from white Hollywood or anyone else.....there's enough education and wealth within our own community to succeed!!🥰🙌
Melinda...Amen to what you wrote. However, Mr. Washington has done far more than this OFF the screen. I am not a fan of anyone even if they are good at what they do on screen. It's who you are when you're not "acting." I have great genuine respect for how Mr. Washington's respect and love for God, his wife, their well raised adult children, the great contribution to communities especially for Black American children, including other ethnicities and so much more. Integrity, Character is important for me to admire any "actor" beyond the big screen.
Eventhough I feel interracial dating is a personal decision - I definitely agree that we haven't always been portrayed in a positive light on the big screen
Yep. He only entertained a white women in that to make the role authentic to malcolms life as a city slicker. He even delivered the line about not being her black bed buck. Black men court danger interacial dating. We seen a lynching with GF. Ahmaud Arbury was most defintely lynched. So yes the consequences are real.
That's why he's Who he IS.. He stands sure on his beliefs... Denzell I give u a👫standing ovation because u're a A-1 CLASS ACTOR Thanks for representing D. W.🤗👍🏽
To the ones who likes these kinds of post this is for you. I Hope your day, week, even year is a blessed one. Life is to short to hate and be mad at anything. Start reaching out to loved one more because you never know when it’s our last day here. Whatever it is in life you want to do go after it don’t let anyone tell you other wise. Keep on fighting, pushing, and grinding through whatever you are going through hope all is well peace and one love
Denzel was always respectable. There should be more representation of black love on the screen. There is push for representation of all other types of relationships but when it comes to a black man and a black woman coming to love and respect one another, there is no push. I don't want to see a racially ambiguous looking woman, " can pass for black " type of chick. I want to see Lupita Nyong'o be the love interest. Idris Elba. These actors are very good esp. Idris Elba.
ALL you have to do is look at the majority of commercials featuring black men in them today - he was absolutely correct 💯 And the majority of commercials showing black women are stereotypes - masculine, overweight, short hair, "flip" etc. It really is disgusting to see what is being propagated.
He is just fantastic! I never miss his movies, and in his private life he is also fantastic...I have so much respect for him...we can all learn a great deal from him.
Denzel is the perfect example of being described as a "King" he is and has always been an incredible actor, speaker, husband, father and an awesome example for young African Americans actors and actresses to look up too, actually for African Americans as a whole to look up to.
Denzel knows a lot, we wish he'd share. Still, we appreciate him as is. Recently, I decided I'm marrying a black woman ONLY. The more I learn (especially about our DNA), the less I want to dilute that. Just my personal choice😁
It's not just dark black women who face difficulties in lead roles, it's the same for dark Asian and Latino men and women alike. To me, it's just as well because as a mother, i wouldn't want my children to be part of the Hollywood culture. I once heard Denzel mention he doesn't hang around with the Hollywood crowd. That's a real rarity and a testament not only to his core values but his talent because despite that, he keeps getting cast in leading roles.
Denzel is a jewel to the black community. We all refer to him by his first name alone as endearment. As a 31 year old millennial, I grew up on Denzel. His movies and acting have done a great deal to represent, black masculinity, black pride and black love. Subtly as he does it, it adds to the respect, favoritism and appreciation we as black people have for him.

Having his kind of integrity is not just respectable and admirable it is a sense of excellence or even black excellence in it self.

@@boogsybrooks well yes, that is a show where a black female has a lead role AND is desired. Why would they not? Did you not watch the video? The dirth of black women in roles, epscially leading is real. Of course, we still have a ways to go(Kerry Washington is still light skinned as with most other famous black actresses)
This why he will always have a fan base, the support and the respect of the community.
Imagine if a white actor said he would never kiss a black woman on film.
The country would go up in flames
@johndoe Obviously, it's not the same. However, it is not my responsibility to explain that to you. Read a history book and figure out why.

This is very rare. You don’t see many black celebrities that care about the community enough without getting any financial benefit from it. His decision actually got a lot of black actresses jobs. Black people tend to be more individualistic and don’t think as a collective. Denzel is truly a pioneer. We would be better as a community if we all thought like Denzel.
Yep! And it's so sad because we originally come from collectivist cultures but ofc that has been ripped away and especially, the richer you get, the more the individualism becomes apparent. And it's important to note that this individualism isn't them just protecting themselves necessarily, it's literally just wanting to be individualistic and distancing themselves completely from their community. And that is shame because we could do so much more for each other and tbh you don't even have to do it at a super close range if it isnt possible to - advocating for the community is huge in itself. We could really help each other ALOT. We have the brains, the numbers, innovation, the style, the charisma, the personalities, the talent. WORLDWIDE. We all got it - it's a special gene from Mama Africa honestly, it's so special. Makes me sad alot of the time but it is what it is. Seeing it in Denzel is better than not seeing it at all tbh lool.

The producers of the Pelican Brief did not want him to kiss Julia Roberts on screen, because she was considered America's white sweet heart. Forgot about that? I remember a bunch of black movie goers calling that decision racist.
Because he a real one 👏🏾🔥🔥🔥🏆🏆. Never left his wife, never left his children, never compromised himself, never lost respect of the community! Real one!!!

@@misseve7486 I'm sure he has, but how do you know? Again we don't know about it
The name Denzel alone oozes sex appeal
EXCELLENT ! He remains a true example for our men of these times .
I don’t want to hear not one BM artist say “It’s the industry” no more! Denzel was making the call when it really was that deep.
He stood firm and succeeded in Hollywood with morals!!! Denzel is one of the greatest actors. And he got a walk like no other😂
Yessssss
Oooohhh wee
Yes, that walk!
Ikr! Reminds me of when the Braxton Queens wanted their mother to date. When asked what she wanted, Queen Evelyn said she wanted “a man who walked like Denzel!” Yes gawd! Me too. 😋
@@starrgod7671 Yes 🤣🤣🤣
Denzel isn't just a great actor but he's a great man all around and I love the fact that he's been married to the same woman for almost 40yrs which is almost unheard of in Hollywood ❤

This is the little stuff people could do. It's amazing how well Denzel can navigate Hollywood without ever getting caught up. It's the small things. More brothers and sisters can take notes on how to play the game.
True, and then screw and smooch all the YT women you want, off screen.
Maybe the new generation can take note. I just see some doc on Kat Williams , as an example, when he was getting roles in Hollywood and stuff, he had issues outside of Hollywood, fighting, always in the newspapers for negative shit, snorting cocaine in the newspapers blah blah…..gets dropped and then blames “them” for going after black people and “they” have an agenda going after black people….no Kat…that’s you messing yourself up. Just an example. Denzil has always been super professional. On screen off screen. A true professional. And it’s funny when you are professional , and never in the newspapers for negative rubbish…..you have a fantastic career. If your a big star and can bring an audience, it’s not even about race. Look at recent Jonny depp, he got slaughtered in newspapers by that amber turd bird and got dropped from most Hollywood big film opportunities. He a white dude…

You can tell by Paulette, his wife that Denzel likes earthy, choice women and I'm glad. I also like that he's made his choice of who he didn't want to kiss up on and he's definitely on the Board of the Academy award. I always say, speak your mind. It might get you in trouble but it still can set you free!

Denzel Washington has always supported the Black community. I have so much respect and admiration for this Black man. ✊🏾❤
He did an interracial scene with Mila Jovavich in "He Got Game". And he has done scenes in two movies co-featuring Latina actress Eva Mendes. So he has done more than the aforementioned. But I do respect Denzel's stance as it pertains to Black women. He has always shown that he values a black woman's self-worth.
I mean who would turn down Eva Mendes? 😂
She's not white
She played his side piece in Training Day and his ex-wife in Out of Time, but I don't recall them having any scenes where they were intimate.

Well the white women makes a fool out of them, lay with them and have children, to secure their wellbeing, to in sure their security, and after that, they start acting up with them, cause now they are tired of playing the game, don't want them from the beginning, I guess most black men, think being with white women,feels it as accomplishment, I have watched this for some time now, even if he's wearing a military uniform, just like voultures, I think they hate the back woman who brought them in the world, and when she gets ready to devorce the black man for no really good reason, I don't feel sorry for him, white women wants child's support and alimony if she can get it, I saw this, with my own eyes, and after he falls out with his blood family, because of her,now he feels shame, and start loosing his mind, not strong enough to carry on, not caring for his own self.
@@lindahines9380 so respecting your race is being racist
I absolutely LOVED him in Malcolm X, because he didn't just play him, he BECAME him okay.
I feel the same.
He summoned the ancestor..
Every time he plays someone real he goes out his way to study that person.. I love that..
Yes!!!!! his became Malcolm X indeed....brilliant performance.
YES!! So true. one of my favorites of all time. That certainly was Oscar worthy. But we all know why that didn't happen.
He was never Detroit Red. He just portrayed him for a bunch of money and a collaboration with a crafty director.
Denzel and Billie D always personified coolness, class, and greatness. They never had to compromise their masculinity by wearing a dress in any role they portray. Denzel is the greatest actor of any generation.
Yes. I thought that too. Still think that about Denzel..& but then Billy
Dee made those comments a couple years ago about referring to him as “herself & himself” b/c he sees himself as “feminine & masculine”.
@@missj3434 🤷🏾♀️ so what?
So what? … it’s weird. At some point we have to recognize identity disorders for what they are and stop labeling them with such trendy things like “Gender Neutral” or whatever WTF else comes to mind.
That’s a tough statement to make… Not to throw shade on DW; the man’s dope off and on screen… But … “of any generation?”
That’s ridiculously biased.
@@lorenzosmith5932 you realize, that not only are you labeling his statement about himself weird because you don't understand it, but instead of giving some actual thought to it, you also put something on him that he didn't even say. Considering oneself as possessing both masculine and feminine energy is not only not weird, it's actually accurate, whether people acknowledge it or not. And, side note: gender neutrality is something completely different, and it would probably be a good idea for you to educate yourself just a bit more, before you make public statements on the subject.
Oh goodness, do we really need anymore reasons to be secretly in love with Denzel 🥰! Him and his lovely wife are so beautiful as a couple and as a true team! Loved this, and so true!
The same woman for forty years without having an mistresses or whores makes Denzel look weak and lame. Every successful man starting from Biblical times has had more than one woman besides his wife,fact.
Just another reason for me to love and appreciate Mr. Denzel Washington. ♥️
What an excellent and thorough commentary. Thank you!
One of the many examples of Black men staying solid for Black women behind the scene
@@DomCTBG that part - I guess I was alluding to his image being mostly on screen but you’re absolutely right.
Denzel had this conversation with Oprah years ago about not doing interracial romance scenes. It was a good interview. Denzel was very open during the interview.
I'm confused though because he has.
@@ashasun6620 ...I know. I think the scenes are brief. he doesn't want to have an interracial romance on screen like where he's the lead actor and I think he's stopped kissing. Ect. interracially in movies. I don't know; I just know I heard what he said.😄
@@ashasun6620 did you even pay attention to this video, or did you just skip straight down to the comments? There were literally two, and you can't even really count Malcolm X, bc he's portraying a real person and that person's real life. Malcolm definitely had a phase in his life when he was having relations with white women, and not to portray that would have been inauthentic--not to mention, there wouldn't have been enough of a contrast between his life before prison, vs his life after. Those stills they kept showing from Devil in a Blue Dress didn't even belong, because that wasn't even what happened in that movie.
@@KiraBKADestroyerOfWorlds I went to the comments while it was playing, it's old news that he decided not to do those types of scenes with ww that rumor has been out for ions but yet in still he did other movies, so it's still false.
That's a lie just watch Flight!
Denzel is a great husband and a wonderful actor.
I thought he didn't make out with ANY woman out of respect for his wife. I respect Denzel for his decision. We don't need a full blown love scene to know characters are in love and/or lust.
Denzel should have way more Oscars! He is a brilliant actor who delivers!

2:29 the producers of the movie removed it, along with any "sexual tension" scenes. Julia Roberts stated, openly, that she was shocked it was removed and showed how much she loved Denzel, sometimes a little too openly, she was thirsty as hell at an award ceremony where they had to present an award together. Shit felt uncomfortable lol
Yes, it was Julia Roberts. I remember her trying very hard to be openly disrespectful to Denzel’s wife who was standing next to him at the premier of PELICAN BRIEF.
She tried kissing him on the cheek .
As if she was testing to see how loyal to his black wife he was.
Like, no black man could resist a white woman.

@@zod4365 lol…extremely
@@xalifornian A lot of White women can't fathom that a Black man wouldn't prefer them, because so many Black men do..I'm a Black woman, I had a blonde White woman who was interested in my children's father actually approach me(with our two children with me), asking me how I knew him.I told her that we had two sons together, and she still has nerve to say she "thought about pursuing him", because White women in Nashville are used to Black men salivating over them.I told her that we are both from Memphis, and my sons' father is originally from Chicago, and is very pro-Black, and prefers very dark-skinned women.She was absolutely shocked that a Black man had no interest in her, or in White women.Black people in Memphis aren't really down with the swirl.
@@xalifornian Exactly
I saw an interview with Julia Roberts a long time ago and she said she was very much with the love scene in pelican brief. She wasn't the one who chose not to do the scene.
Supposedly she was pressed when he didn’t want to do the scene with her
She wanted a piece of Mr Washington.. Further proof that these scenes that we call "acting" have more that meet the eye.. imo Julia Robert's would've been my exception... But like all black after that Maybe sub for Angie... that's it!!
@Techno Pirate literally !!!
Her thirstiness was so obvious even then, and even as a kid, his rejection of that just made me love Denzel more! 🤣🤣🤣
@Techno Pirate And the great thing about Denzel is that it is his personal belief and he didn’t need to publicize it to get cool points; he just makes sure the powers that be at studios know where he stands on the matter. He doesn’t do it to be called “brave” or whatever people today would call it by tweeting about it; he’s just a principled Black man not looking for anyone’s approval. They just don’t make men like Denzel everyday! 😍
Thank you for this segment, CH! This was dope! 🫡
There is nothing wrong with loving yourself and being with someone like you and your family. This new stuff is a SOCIAL MANIPULATION. Denzel is right. WM, don't like to see that and having to watch your back for a dumb reason, like a movie role is absurd. I respect men like Denzel for the example they live showing STENGTH, in our collective.

Wow. How well he navigated both sides of the situation is awesome. His allowing his co-stars to say they cut romantic scenes or to simply not say anything is gracious. It was also probably a slap to the ego of the beautiful actress who thought a handsome black man like Denzel would jump at the chance to kiss them.

Denzel Washington💗everything about him ,Mad Respect ✊🏾
Denzel Washington deserves every respect and accolade he’s received. He is a shining example to us in the way he conducts himself, and holds stead fast to his principles. I'm a big fan of his.
I think we also have to remember that two people can simply fall in love. The only thing that matters is how they feel about each other in this instance ;the question of race is not a question for these individuals. Instead; it questions societies maturity in accepting love overrules all, especially when you’re in it.
I wish us all the kind of luck Denzel Washington has in finding that life long love regardless of race religion or creed. Let’s hope that the human species evolves enough to realise when you have love in your life that is a big deal. Common sense tells us; If it’s bad reject it, if it’s good accept it!
No doubt the world can be a much better place.
This is why I love people like Tyler Perry, Robert Townsend, Spike Lee, Oprah, Lee Daniels, etc in leadership roles who owns the power to hire and fire whom they choose....and they have stellar actors and movie going power.....we don't need acceptance and validation from white Hollywood or anyone else.....there's enough education and wealth within our own community to succeed!!🥰🙌
Umm y'all should have done better research. On "He got game" Denzel's character had a sex scene with Milla Jovovich lol

He only name two that one they missed i guess
Thank you for this I had no ideal that he had done this much respect to him Thanks
Melinda...Amen to what you wrote. However, Mr. Washington has done far more than this OFF the screen. I am not a fan of anyone even if they are good at what they do on screen. It's who you are when you're not "acting."
I have great genuine respect for how Mr. Washington's respect and love for God, his wife, their well raised adult children, the great contribution to communities especially for Black American children, including other ethnicities and so much more. Integrity, Character is important for me to admire any "actor" beyond the big screen.
I definitely co-sign dafuq out this message.
U should, looks like ur bi & NOT to be trusted anyway!

Yesssss
Eventhough I feel interracial dating is a personal decision - I definitely agree that we haven't always been portrayed in a positive light on the big screen
Excellent commentary Brother. Bravo!!
NO ONE on this earth can match Denzel Washington's CLASS. WE LOVE YOU DENZEL AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL WIFE PAULETTA.
Amen
Boy took that Malcolm role seriously huh
As a lot should but to each of their own
Yep. He only entertained a white women in that to make the role authentic to malcolms life as a city slicker. He even delivered the line about not being her black bed buck. Black men court danger interacial dating. We seen a lynching with GF. Ahmaud Arbury was most defintely lynched. So yes the consequences are real.
Was he not supposed to? Was it supposed to be slap-stick comedy?

Denzel the truth
To the ones who likes these kinds of post this is for you. I Hope your day, week, even year is a blessed one. Life is to short to hate and be mad at anything. Start reaching out to loved one more because you never know when it’s our last day here. Whatever it is in life you want to do go after it don’t let anyone tell you other wise. Keep on fighting, pushing, and grinding through whatever you are going through hope all is well peace and one love
Nice one. Messages with positive words will always get an appreciation vote from me. Peace and blessings to you also. ✌🏾
Denzel was always respectable. There should be more representation of black love on the screen. There is push for representation of all other types of relationships but when it comes to a black man and a black woman coming to love and respect one another, there is no push. I don't want to see a racially ambiguous looking woman, " can pass for black " type of chick. I want to see Lupita Nyong'o be the love interest. Idris Elba. These actors are very good esp. Idris Elba.
Bruh plzz stfu there are many movies and tv shows with black love where tf you been under a rock ?
ALL you have to do is look at the majority of commercials featuring black men in them today - he was absolutely correct 💯 And the majority of commercials showing black women are stereotypes - masculine, overweight, short hair, "flip" etc. It really is disgusting to see what is being propagated.
He is just fantastic! I never miss his movies, and in his private life he is also fantastic...I have so much respect for him...we can all learn a great deal from him.
Denzel is the perfect example of being described as a "King" he is and has always been an incredible actor, speaker, husband, father and an awesome example for young African Americans actors and actresses to look up too, actually for African Americans as a whole to look up to.
Denzel knows a lot, we wish he'd share. Still, we appreciate him as is. Recently, I decided I'm marrying a black woman ONLY. The more I learn (especially about our DNA), the less I want to dilute that. Just my personal choice😁
That's great Brotha and also that's the ultimate POWER move
That’s awesome
Jusg another excuse to be racist
@@eminemthegoatfrnocap2032 why does black love and families offend you???
@@jamesleon403 when did i ever say it offends me
Stop trying to justify ravism
Go Denzel!!! We’ve always loved you and…. We Always WILL❤️🙏🏿
It's not just dark black women who face difficulties in lead roles, it's the same for dark Asian and Latino men and women alike.
To me, it's just as well because as a mother, i wouldn't want my children to be part of the Hollywood culture.
I once heard Denzel mention he doesn't hang around with the Hollywood crowd.
That's a real rarity and a testament not only to his core values but his talent because despite that, he keeps getting cast in leading roles.
I got your back bro you're a great actor keep doing what you doing keep that positive word we need you
The last of a dying breed.
Pauletta dropping Queen jewels. 🙌🙌
I've always loved their marriage. ((Sn: Imagine turning Denzel down... Twice! 😯 I never knew that!))
