Same goes for the King Woman movie. There is a strong intolerance to blacks in lead roles and even for them creating new stories. People only care about "accuracy" when a black person is involved.
Do better America.
Yes, because there is no other possible reason one could dislike a movie.
shareYou are seeing racism where there is none, because you are straining your eyes to look for it.
shareThis is how Disney is treating their audience now. They are promoting a woke agenda and if you don’t agree with it in any way, they will throw a label at you. You’re a racist/sexist/phobe/etc. if you don’t give them your money. Emotional blackmail at its finest.
shareThe only systemic racism is against white people. We refuse to be silent against the open racism being thrown at us.
shareI think Marissa Tomei as Aunt May is a disgrace does this make me racist as well?
shareEvery traditional White character is getting replaced by Blacks and you wonder there is a backlash. Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot.
share🤣
shareThe shoe has historically being on the other side particularly with white actors doing blackface to portray black characters.
Suck it up.
So past injustices justify modern injustices? In other words we're no better than those doing blackface?
share"So past injustices justify modern injustices?"
Absolutely, as prominent antiracist Ibram Kendi puts it:
“The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination."
That's how it works.
You just admitted you want to oppress Whites.
And I would much rather see modern White face on Black actors than see White characters totally replaced by Blacks. Whites never did this. You never saw a Shaft remake starring a White person.
Ibram X Kendi is a giant hypocrite. He whines about Whites oppressing Blacks despite all the affirmative action and diversity quotas and wokeness, yet doesn't advocate for Black independence. All ethnic groups that have historically claimed to be oppressed sought escape from their alleged oppressors. He also doesn't say a word about real Black grievance which is immigration where rich Whites import cheap labour that steals jobs from poor Blacks.
Hollywood's history is full of whitewashing:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewashing_in_film#Examples_of_associated_cases
Hollywood has been racist for ages. Why do you think blacks had to create their own separate awards ceremony?
Not a single good example. All those movies and characters were created by White people. Nothing like what is happening now in reverse.
And so called Whitewashing was done for practical not for ideological reasons which totally different. Movies like Exodus had all White cast because there weren't any Egyptian actors available to return an investment, not because the movie authors are ideologically racist. In contrast movies like Little Mermaid wasn't cast a Black lead because of any practical reason that they had to cast her Black, but because the authors are ideologically racist against White people.
"Hollywood has been racist for ages. Why do you think blacks had to create their own separate awards ceremony?"
Ideally Blacks should create their own country so they're free from White racism.
"In contrast movies like Little Mermaid wasn't cast a Black lead because of any practical reason that they had to cast her Black, but because the authors are ideologically racist against White people. "
Wrong. They already said they couldn't find a white actress that could sing the songs as well as the girl that got the role.
And you believe that BS excuse?? Boy you are really an idiot.
shareBlacks are naturally better singers, it makes sense.
shareThat's not entirely true. Also there are 5x more White people than Black and that's just USA not counting Europe or other Anglo countries.
shareIt absolutely is, look at the all time best female singer lists, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Beyonce, etc. Black women are better singers so if you are casting for a musical going with a black woman makes the most sense and that is what they did here.
shareLOL listing four Black singers is empirical proof that Blacks are better singers? Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Madonna and Taylor Swift. There.
Also if Blacks are natural better singers this means that there are innate racial differences and that race isn't just skin deep which opens a whole other can of worms I'm not sure you want opened.

There are, blacks are superior. Why do you think they excel over whites in very much every area they get it in? See sports for example. They are now doing the same in acting.
They don't excel over Whites in anything other than sports. Quite the contrary. And even in sports they aren't always better like swimming.
shareThis comment is racist. You have no hard standard of deviation to come to that conclusion.
share"all White cast because there weren't any Egyptian actors available to return an investment"
"movies like Little Mermaid wasn't cast a Black lead because of any practical reason that they had to cast her Black"
So you're saying the Little Mermaid casting wasn't also done for a similar reason? Maybe Disney knew a black actress would return more of an investment than a white one.
No it wasn't because there is no reason that a Black lead would make more money than a White lead and also because it's a known fact Hollywood is run by leftists who believe in intersectionality and openly brag about promotion of "diversity".
shareAnti-racism is just racism.
shareNew racism will not fix the old racism.
shareAmen.
shareThere is a strong intolerance to blacks in lead roles
Omg, like 5 of those are in my top 10!!!
The intolerance is off the charts!! Or is it? I have no idea!
Is he fucking serious with this bullshit?
