Thats just 3 off the top of my head.I could definately go on and on.
They don't all play criminals.Some of them are diverse enough to play all different rolls and confident enough to do animated voice overs as well.
You need to get over yourself and this whinny racism crap.
Not everyone is like you.

because the porch monkey syndrone in entertainment is still alive and well...however black actors should take it on themselves to avoid playing stereotypical roles. Most movies that have a black actor in the lead role have the black charator portray stereotypes which I feel further anti black prejudice in white people who don't live around black to know any better...
