“This is a conscious effort to erase me and people who look like me.”
Dude. If we were erasing white people would we laud a setting created by SUCH a white guy as Tolkien?
“ This is a conscious effort to dispossess us of our heritage, to plant a flag in our birthright and say "this isn't yours anymore."”
When was it ever yours? White characters (more or less)? That gives you a birthright to the property? Except there are black characters in the books, so that makes it their birthright, too?
“This doesn't end at fiction, we've seen history blackwashed (black English queens on Netflix and black Romans on the BBC) into propaganda, with the explicit aim of erasing the historical truth that England was once a much whiter (and much nicer) country.””
Huh? A movie about ENGLAND, and an ENGLISH queen is an attempt to erase white history? That’s what you’re going with? That’s hilarious.
I gotta say, if i INTENDED to change people’s understanding of history, it wouldn’t be by making movies about England, no matter who is cast.
My insidious 3 Musketeers movie would be cast to invoke Dumas’ grandfather.
My insidious Jesus movie would center on a short Semite, and maybe make Judas the Aryan.
And I’d portray Mother Teresa as a hateful, manipulative, thieving bitch.
