First of all, I don't like calling some people black when it is not necessary. I only do so, when I have to "define" their physical traits. Like how I don't call 6' 5" people as "tall" all the time.  Plus, even people with the darkest skin tones are not really black in colour, at all! (There is always a brownish tinge in their colour.)

I used "100 greatest black actors of all time" list of IMDb as a source. Someone can create a poll about black actresses too. I'm too lazy for that now. Ah, IMDb has such a list, but look at the "sexist" title! 

My 100 All-Time Most Beautiful Black Actresses


Anyway,

My favourite from my list is Samuel L. Jackson.

Who is yours?

Would be my 2nd choice, actually. But I like "black metal", so villains attract me more! LOL

Who said that I was trying to be funny?

It sure can be removed, if the admins see fit. Not a big deal for me. If it is very disturbing for some Western people, I'm sorry. My intention was not trying to be offensive, either.

Well I sure hope you weren't being serious! Not sure why you've put "Western people" either, I can't imagine anyone being too happy with it.

Well, did you see my poll on fictional and actual characters? I put options that mention narcissist, misanthrope people. These are "global" atrocities. Black racism is rather/overwhelmingly a Western one, as far as I can tell.

Forest Whitaker and Don Cheadle equally. Both are extremely underrated and never seem to get the roles that let them really shine.

Sir Laurence Olivier as Othello.

I used the top 23 off of a top 100 list, Elba was the 31st, unfortunately. You said Cuba Gooding Jr. is underrated. I believe he is one of the most overrated actors of all times.

I guess we are even. LOLHandshake

This is what I thought when I saw this topic, however. Well, other than the age part as I exude youth despite being quite senile and doddery.
