When I was attending the AADA, I went to an Academy party, and there was a Black guy there from South Africa, and he came to the USA and he got a film made by Steven Spielberg, named "Amistad."
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118607/He said that in South Africa under Aparteid he would not be allowed to be at a party with White people. He said that racism was horrible in South Africa, and he talked about how great the USA is and about how much he loved the USA.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartheid Spielberg also did a film with Oprah Winfrey.
But, I cannot even get anyone to read my script that I wrote, and I am a White guy, it is supposed to be easy for American White guys. And as an actor I could not even get a job on "The Young and the Restless."
The Black guy from South Africa said that he wished he could hire me to be in his movie, but he said that he did not have any control over who they hired.
Of note, he invested some of his money into opening McDonald's fast food restaurants in South Africa, and he hired some of his family members to work at his McDonald's restaurants.
I have a lot to be grateful for, but I wish I could get my movie made like the Black guy from South Africa did, he is lucky.
Salute,
Tony V.
