Ah. So it's your contention that Moses was a tall, strapping white dude?

Hollywood, because a distressingly large percentage of them are both stupid and lazy tend to recycle successful movies, changing little to try and make money off it.

So a Jamaican 007 is in play?


Didn't they basically introduce a black woman as the new 007 in the last James Bond who is English?

They need our money, or should I say want it, to line the pockets of race and alphabet army grifters. Meanwhile we are supposed to nod and accept gay BIPOC feminist Superman. frick em

Look at the Stare Farm commercials. CP3 wanted the guy (Jake) to be black and it happened. Since he is black the name should have been Amir

Why are whites so fragile about their FICTIONAL characters?


OK, but what about Hamilton, or Ann Boleyn? Even they were race swapped.

I mean, with Hamilton, the entire idea was to be subversive, so that seems outside of this thread's premise (and I don't even like Hamilton.)

You’re actually right for once. Subversion is one of the neo Marxist double speak linguistic tricks though. One in a long long long long list. Subvert: demoralize or rewrite history, that’s their definition.

So a well crafted musical depicting the Motown Era with an all white cast that the creator described as "subversive" would not get any push back?

Point is, a few years ago we were told to stop being man babies and accept that our fictional characters could be any race or gender. That quickly became altering actual historical people, just as most said would happen.

Not to mention, how many idiots do you think have seen Hamilton and ACTUALLY THINK that represents reality? If you say none, you're lying.

Kind of makes me understand how they could have gotten to that place in Idiocracy when they finally got to the Time Machine ride...

Sure it would, but that's not exactly a good analogy and you know it. e.g.Hamilton has always been perceived as a figure with a fraught legacy due to his outward abolitionism alongside his possible coziness with slavery at various points. Your Motown idea is essentially random.

I'm not sure what you are referring to. I've given the example already, but 6'3", blue-eyed giant - Charlton Heston - played a diminutive Levantine in one of the most famous movies of all time. Liz Taylor played Cleopatra, FFS. Was that "altering historical figures"?

It was popular with teens, so you have your answer. So I guess the news is: teens susceptible to believing stupid shite?

Minstrel shows were popular for many decades in this country - and yet, some around here seem wounded that those would even be perceived as a problem. At the very least, they seem SHOCKED that it would be perceived as sub-optimal from the standpoint of simple manners. I'm sure you're aware that A Birth of a Nation - one of the first "landmark" films - featured white actors in blackface. etc. etc.

Hollywood has been "race swapping" characters literally since its inception. BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN - just like with participating in wars around the world - we've begun pearl clutching about it.

And my earlier Jesus comment was not in jest - in many ways, Jesus has been "race swapped" in this country for centuries.

Meh, black people are Hollywood’s new toy. Let them play with it for a while. They soon grow tired of them and move on. Besides, adults really shouldn’t be spending time watching Hollywood movies. Grow up.
