IMO people who produce these shows don't realize they're actually demeaning black people. Black culture around the world is rich in myths, heroes, oral traditions, history, fairy tales etc.

Instead they take well-known, caucasian historical figures and change their race. What they're saying is "there aren't enough black historical/fictional figures we deem important enough so we're going to use white ones instead."

It's insulting to both sides.

Its almost like they do not understand black history at all. Really its like they actually actively do not want to know black history and prefer white history. Then just slap on some token blacks, you know cause blackface makes people uncomfortable now..... you know starting to think these intersectionality types are just self loathing white supremacist.... (heavy on the sarcasm)

Really though its the liberal that has been the worst enemy for blacks throughout much of western society. Not going to put the full bit here, but Malcolm X had a quote calling it out as conservatives being wolfs, racist but at least upfront about it. While liberal where foxs trying to sneak up and pretend, before attacking.

If this were a history exam, the grade would be: F-

Could you imagine reversing this? Think of creating a “Rosa Parks” miniseries and Jessica Biel being cast as Rosa? Half of LA would be destroyed.

I mean, you’re not wrong. At all.

Let me guess. Blacks are incapable of cultural appropriation just like they're incapable of racism.

Why are they so ashamed of their own history?? Nothing wrong with building mud huts in sub Saharan Africa in the 1500s. Maybe it was too hot to build castles and conquer the world. 🤷🏼‍♀️. But don't steal mine.

well, I think Roots and the color purple should be re-made with all white and Asian actors. to woke when you change the color of history to fit your liberal psychosis. I guess there are no historic black figures worth writing about or playing. I can't wait for the Spanish actor who is going to play Malcolm X and MLK.

Leftists love killing minorities in their movies so it checks out.

This is just woke nonesense, while the portraits we have of Boleyn haven’t been 100% certified to be her, we definitely know that she wasn’t black because her and Henry VIII daughter Elizabeth I became queen of England and there are multiple confirmed portraits of her being a pale redhead. Sorry, I’m a history buff and this rewriting of known history is ridiculous!

A shame that an ethnicity with such a rich history has to steal another ethnicity. Is it now going to be racist when she gets killed by the King?

I would love to see the world shit a brick if you made a fictional movie where a you tell MLK jr's story except with the races flipped.

Also Black Panther was at best a 6/10. All that movie proved is that a society that thrives wants to protect its homogeneity.

The Brits are famous for doing this now. You'd think that instead of re-writing European history, they could instead produce shows based on African or Asian history. But I guess you wouldn't be able to virtue signal that way.

There’s a crap show on Netflix where the have a young black King Arthur, what is the point? Are they saying black people have no culture so they are having to use white culture. Back in the day there were some great black actors, but we didn’t see them as black, just great actors. Well Obummer ruined that with all his racist shit, setting black against white, now we see a black actor and see tokenism.

Look at the bright side. Black actors might help attract black people to learn more about Western history.

btw Americans should learn some British kings-and-queens history. Gripping stuff, and you see them slowly laying the foundations of freedom that our boys built on.
