If the reason you don't want to watch this show


Is because the lead is black .... Then your a racist plain and simple .. There's no excuses to cover that, nothing to do with PC whatever or Kiefer not doing it .. If you can't see why the character happens to be black then your just an ignorant racist .

Just accept that and don't try and come up with any lame reason ... At least admit what you are

So basically anyone who doesn't want to watch this show is racist then, correct? It's not possible to not like the premise or not be interested in this particular show. If you're white and don't like a show or movie with a black lead, you are racist. Wow, you see racism where none exists and might want to look in the mirror to see a racist.

I'll lay out a few things and really don't care if you believe it or not. I love Denzel Washington, even in parts like Gray Grantham where the book character was white and it actually was part of the plotting. Denzel was quite simply perfect in the part. And I'd listen to Morgan Freeman or James Earl Jones read the phone book. I can't stand Jack Nicholson, but tolerated him to watch The Bucket List. So race an issue for me? No.

I don't intend to watch this because sometimes it's best to let things end, rather than trying to recreate something magic. I feel the same way about several series or movies, like MacGyver. I'd really love some of the show creators to come up with new ideas or at least variations on ideas, rather than rehashing the same thing. And that's why I decided not to watch this.

That's not even close to what he said. Read next time.

I don't care if the lead is Black or not, i wanted Jack Bauer back. Predator 2 has a black lead (danny glover) and i loved that film.

The hate comes NO Jack Bauer simple as that.

On a positive note, it is not a Black dude playing Jack Bauer but another character lol

Way to not read my post .. Is not about people not wanting to watch the show .. Its about people not wanting to watch because they don't want a black lead . That's racist simple

reply

ok, then THAT is why I won't be watching! So there!

The lead being black may be the reason but on top of that he looks like an insectoid transgendered mutation so his grotesque looks isn't exactly going to win anyone (already racially biased) over to his cause.

I'm not watching because the lead is black. I cannot identify with black people, especially ghetto types, and have no empathy whatsoever for the Black Lives Matter movement.

Is that honest enough for you?
