For some reason, I just love these guys. Perhaps its the awesome coolnes that they radiate without even trying, but in my opinion, the african american actors stand above the rest.
From Frsh prince to deja vu to the contract, to the dark knight and hancock, every movie these guys are in just seems... better!

Discusss what you think of this.

I don't think they they stand above the rest, but I have to agree that the ones you put are some of the best actors of our time.

those black actors are awesome but I don't think there skin tone has anything to do with there acting ability. they are just some of the best actors. also, the matrix trilogy would have been a hundred times better if Will Smith hadn't turned down the role of Neo.

I don't think it would've worked as well with Will Smith as Neo. I mean, Will Smith is one of my favorite actors but I think the actor that did play Neo was a better choice.

Laurence Fishburne (guy who played Neo) is another great African-American actor, but why exactly are we segregating them like this?

I'm certain that Laurence Fishburne played Morpheus, not Neo.

What are you saying? Movies with black actors are better because they have a black leading role? That is like saying Barak Obama is going to be the greatest pres. because he is black. It dosen't make sense. You're saying that Lord of the rings would be better if Aragorn was black? Don't get me wrong, they are amazing actors, but I think you are being a little racist. There are amazing movies that have white, Hispanic, and Asian lead roles, too.
