They kept wanting James Bond to be played by the black guy from The Dark Tower

I’m sure there were minority students who were excited to put on the play and now won’t get to thanks to these SJWs.

My god it's a fricking high school play

Maybe all the black kids were terrible actors or didn't want the part

These social justice people need a swift kick in the nuts

Can we just have a referendum to make black people unofficial lords of everything and be done with this shite?

All of the hard work by the actors, stage hands etc wasted, their families denied the chance to see their children’s play, all because a few didn’t like the color of the lead actress's skin.

Yet they want a black Janes Bond, women Ghostbusters, and a bunch of female Asian pilots in TLJ. God forbid we have actual diversity all around

It’s not the protesters that I have a problem with. It’s the adult leaders who pandered to them. Nothing worse then weak leadership

Fun Facts: Both Louis Gosset, Jr's and Morgan Freeman's characters in Officer and a Gentleman and Shawshank Redemption, respectively, were both written to be white characters.
Two classic movies that no one ever thought twice about being cast as the "wrong" race.

Where were these social justice groups when Annie was remade? (FYI: I like the newer version better anyway)
