Kevin Hart has responded to a worried fan who accused him on Twitter of making movies exclusively about black stereotypes.
The ‘Ride Along’ star took to his Twitter on Thursday, January 28, to clear the air, stating he doesn’t even make the so-called “black movie” and that such a mindset only serves to separate Black actors from the rest of Hollywood.
A woman using the Twitter handle @tashyonlaneigh kicked off Hart’s rant when she wrote, “When are black celebs like @KevinHart4real & @MarlonWayans gonna stop doing stereotypical movies?”
Few hours later, Hart had the perfct reply for Miss or Mrs Tashy:
“When are black people going to stop being so hard on their own kind…We can’t do better until we support each other.”
“From the movie business…Ex “Black Movies”….I make movies for everyone, I’m actually overseas promoting my movie on a international level.”
“I’m busting my ass so other actors of color can eventually get the title “Black Movie Category” removed from the projects that we do.”
“So @tashyonlaneigh I want u 2 realize that people with ur mindset & level of thinking are the reason why our movies get categorized.”
Hart then signed off by taking the opportunity to plug his new movie, writing, “With that being said go see Ride Along 2 because it’s a good ‘MOVIE.’”
“With that being said go see “Ride Along 2” because it’s a good “MOVIE”…now back to your regular scheduled programs ??? #RideAlong2”
Boom!
