She is saying what a lot of us have been tired of seeing...
Marsai Martin revealed she won't do projects that deal with Black pain.
The actress and producer told The Hollywood Reporter that she has a rule about the types of projects she will produce.
"I have a couple of rules when you come into my office," she said. "When you come into my office don't give me this--I don't do Black pain. If it's Black pain I don't go for it because there's so many films and projects about that, so that's not who I am."
Martin's comments bring light to the ongoing conversation film viewers are having about the number of Hollywood projects about Black pain and trauma that get greenlit. While showing the brutal side of Black history is important, a lot of viewers are facing fatigue at constantly seeing Black death on-screen, particularly in the midst of real-life traumatic experiences happening to the Black community.
I don't think so. Because they would have MILKED that somehow. Unless he's Sam's son that he never knew he had. Rayshaun's mom could have adopted him.Interesting. Are there rumors/confirmation that Rayshaun was originally conceptualized as Sam's relative?
Or he's an undiscovered guy from Miles's universe.
Agreed on the black pain issue.
Seriously, these “Hollywood progressives” should lose this obsession with portraying black people as victims. No doubt, there’s still grave injustices being meted out against black people but there are other narratives within the community that need telling. Hollywood is far too obsessed with the “power of victim hood” but that’s a discussion for another time and place.
Sometimes, we like all other people need an escape from the real life Trayvon Martins and George Floyd incidents.
I am of the opinion that if a writer, black or otherwise, wishes to do a story on racism, and they handle it well, it can and should be told. Of course, there is also value normalizing stories about racial minorities, LGBT people, disabled people, etc that isn't about suffering.

I've reached a point where I can't bring myself to watch slavery, civil rights era, inner city/struggle movies anymore. I know these stories are important, but it's just exhausting to sit through. I don't even think these movies are made for black people, but they're made for white liberal audiences who think racism is over.
Sure no problem well in my opinion it would be better long-term for a few reasons from a negative approach it saying that Shaun was used in a way to really inspire Sam to be captain America at times when he was frustrated or down and I think it would’ve been a more poetic story if it was revealed that he inspired his nephew or cousin or etc. to become a superhero as well especially at the time when Sam is getting his biggest push. Hopefully he’ll get a even bigger place now with the TV show but we’ll see. Also Sam & Shaun are shipped to me always came off as more big bro/ Lil bro to me so being his nephew/cousin would add more today in my opinion because most top heroes have a relative who is also a hero whether it’s a brother sister cousin niece or etc which help with sales direct legacy and not just a captain America legacy. Also from the outside and look in perspective we know that Shaun would only be patriot temporarily because Eli is more popular and have a way better story.
And Shaun has affectively become benched by marvel & I think Sam’s family member in gives him a better chance of usage weather in costume or out. Will probably help get him a new identity faster because right now he’s effectively in limbo with no plan. Also at the time Sam had another protégé/sidekick and making the new patriot his relative without an interesting dynamic to Joaquin & Shaun relationship both who now is the new superhero names I need if they’re ever going to be prominently used again in my opinion it was shortsighted name in them Falcons and patriots Joaquin should be something like Aplomado (Joaquin) & Red Tail ( Shaun)
