This is not Appalachia Virginia. This is Black Belt Virginia, land of peanuts and cotton and blacks.

Aretha would be very disappointed about that shooting.

Virginia? I’m hearing Deliverance dueling banjos....

Try dueling boomboxes

LOL, the headline reads like two men fighting both wanting to play the role themselves.

>>Or Angela Bassett. She was always good but she’s awesome in the TV show 911.<<

Too bad she is a jewel in a crap show. They should have just called it 9-1-SEX.

Not a bad choice but I still think she is a little too petite.

All they gotta’ do is find an overweight, loud, screaming at the top of her voice person to play Urethra Franklin. Can’t wait to not go to whatever it is that they make a movie of.

If the the guy who got shot wanted Whoopi to get the lead then he deserved it.

It should be a white woman - that would make it oh so edgy, just like having a black play Hamilton. And to really make it trendy diverse and vibrant, maybe a white man.

Hell, I would even settle for Rachel Doležal.

[Secret Agent Man]

Easy, big fat Okra, or big fat Mooch Obama.

[Bommer]

Easy, Charlize Theron. She’s from South Africa so that makes her more African American then Aretha, and she can log on 50 pounds no problem. But the racists for some reason aren’t going to want a bleach blond play her for some dam reason.
