Michael B. Jordan Calls On Hollywood To 'Commit To Black Hiring' In Inspiring Protest Speech!

Michael B. Jordan is using his voice for GREATNESS!

The Black Panther star called out all of Hollywood on Saturday during a passionate and inspiring speech at a Black Lives Matter protest in the Century City area of Los Angeles. And he’s using the #MeToo playbook to call for a major upheaval in how things are done in the entertainment industry. It’s about time!

Speaking to a fired-up crowd on Saturday afternoon, the 33-year-old actor delivered a memorable message to Hollywood’s elites and execs: it’s time to come to the table for black content, black talent, black executives, black hiring, and black consultants. Amen to that!

Referencing the incredible women’s movements that have started to bring about gender parity of the last few years, Jordan said to the crowd (below):

“You committed to a 50/50 gender parity in 2020. Where is the challenge to commit to black hiring? Black content led by black executives, black consultants. Are you policing our storytelling as well? Let us bring our darkness to the light. Anybody that deals with me, if you have racist beliefs, if you have a racist bone in your body, if you’re not with me, if you don’t stand with me and people that look like me, you don’t need to be with me. I use my power to demand diversity but it’s time that studios and agencies … do so.”

Far from finished, the film star encouraged the audience to keep up their passion when it came to changing the world on the backs of this series of nationwide protests, too. After all, it’s been nearly two weeks of incredible nationwide momentum towards a common cause against police brutality and related issues… it’d be terrible to stop now!

Jordan added:

“What we are doing today will make our values heard and our voices heard. We’ve got to keep agitating things. We can’t be complacent. We can’t let this moment just pass us by, we have to continue to put our foot on their necks. We’re done with discrimination.”

Love it!!!
