'So for you to turn around and say to me, I’m ‘denying my Blackness’. On what grounds?'
Idris recently got into hot water for an interview he did withSamir Hussein / Samir Hussein / WireImage"If we spent half the time not talking about the differences but the similarities between us, the entire planet would have a shift in the way we deal with each other. As humans, we are obsessed with race. And that obsession can really hinder people’s aspirations, hinder people’s growth. Racism should be a topic for discussion, sure.
Racism is very real. But from my perspective, it’s only as powerful as you allow it to be. I stopped describing myself as a Black actor when I realized it put me in a box. We’ve got to grow. We’ve got to. Our skin is no more than that: It’s just skin. Rant over. Of course, I’m a member of the Black community. You say a prominent one. But when I go to America, I’m a prominent member of the British community. 'Oh, UK’s in the house!'”
