Black Men in Hollywood: Eddie Murphy Never Asked for Permission.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Growing up, I measured a certain kind of power by who could stroll into a room and make the whole thing bend around him. For my generation of brothers, that man was Eddie Murphy. Nobody handed him a seat at the table. Dude kicked the door clean off its hinges while the industry was still arguing over whether he even belonged in the building.
