I get it.

I really do.

Do believe me.

I think that it is essential for Black Brits to be grounded in the African American experience, which isn't necessarily the case.

Do I think that David Oyelowo who is married to a non Black woman could appreciate the complexity of Martin Luther King?

I am not so sure.

But then it must be pointed out that Denzel Washington had played a Black Brit in a British film titled for Queen and Country. Do check it out.

Those who thrive the most are the ones who grounded in the African-American experience and this is where the lens of white supremacy must be cast aside for its own good.
