And yet those mass riots will still happen... Take simple fiction characters like John Stewart, Vixen and Miles Morales who have zero relevance or impact compared to the magnitude of traditional historical cultural and archeological mythological figures which created religion, way of life, culture, worship, spirituality and governance for various societies across the real world for millenia...so why not be respectful in doing authentic depictions of them?
Which literary characters of fiction has had the level of impact to the real world? From superman to Sherlock holm none of them are even remotely close within light-years.
And yet....if a white or Asian or Maori or Native American actor played John Stewart, Vixen or Miles for what u say is "5 mins" in ANYTHING...blacks will riot. Yet these same people will support black washing white characters.
Y?..... Contradictory hypocrisy galore indeed
And these are mere literary fiction characters that have no real world impact other than simple entertainment but y'all will go crazy over a race swap. Lol!
See the race swap whitewash complaints about New Mutants movie by the same blacks who support black washing.
Raceswap and Gender swapping in any way or form is wrong unless the character or mythological figure is literally amorphous shapeshifter and/or illusionist and it's stated and shown CLEARLY in the plot and story.
And this is going too far....with black King Arthur and what not while black characters are also being whitewashed.
There is actually an Arthurian knight of the round table named MORIEN of "Moorish" descent who was said to have black skin from head to toe except for his eyes and teeth (literal descriptions for Morien the same way Heimdall also had literal descriptions of his appearance) Moors is a term used towards Arabs and blacks during that time......blacks were enslaved and used by Arabs for almost 1,200 years in the Trans-saharan slave tradeans across East Africa.So why not use this guy then?
Morien has never gotten any focus in media....y turn King Arthur black when a literal African descent black knight in right there being ignored? An original non-racebent character!!!!
Haha.....its only a matter of time before we have bleach pale full blonde blue eyes white Zulus in a Shaka Zulu movie. Knowing us blacks...even blacks will resurrect from the grave and revolt against it. ROFL!!!......all it will take is a random white man in Zulu dressing to walk-by in the background with no dialogue, no reason and no explanation given for a total of 2 min appearance in a 2hr Shaka Zulu movie. Lol?!!!
Two wrongs don't make it right.
As blacks we can't be championing equality while also being racially biased and disrespectful to the culture and mythology of others.
Just because we blacks (and other minorities) are victims of whitewashing antics does NOT mean is Ok to do the same thing *especially* regarding exalted cultural and traditional figures.
I have said my piece and will leave it at that!
Peace!
