Not only an angle but an angel.

Good catch on my miss-type. It reminds of the story of Pope Gregory (according to Bede) in AD 6th century seeing fair-skinned white boys sold in the slave market in Rome. When he asked about them and was told that they were Angles (or Anglii or Anglos as we say today), the Pope was moved with compassion for them and said they weren't Angles but Angels and was motivated to send Augustine of Canterbury to Kent to teach about Christ.

Martinis bar will now be called Ebonys and Nick will be replaced with Curtis.

“ A woke remake of “It’s a Wonderful Life” shows Potter winning and everyone miserable.”
No.
Potter would be a rich white oppressor holding down minorities .
Baileys bank would be run by woke green new deal types , homosexual of course.

Why is it that very good old movies that featured whites, TV programs that had whites as main characters, etc. have to be ‘redone’ using only black and PoC actors?

Aren’t black writers, producers and actors capable of creating entertainment (successful, that is) with their own original content and acting?

Seems like it’s just Quotas/Affirmative Action/DEI (all the same thing) for uninspired mediocrity.

Tyler Perry does it every day. That's why he's a BILLIONAIRE................

[Gaffer]

Yes.. there are LOTS of examples. My question was directed mainly to these nonsense remarks and articles about DEI efforts for works whose only faults were white actors/writers/producers. They don’t need it but have to persist with it.

[Red Badger]

I get so tired of these people who try and claim racism is why they aren’t successful. There are myriad examples of extremely successful black Americans, like Tyler Perry, Daymond John, not to mention the sports stars in teh NFL, NBA, MLB.

[Gaffer]

I think it’s actually a matter of “the original works needs to be shown for the racism it is by doing a black-only remake that does better.”

[LibertarianLiz]

The message I’m getting from this is that black people are not creative enough to come up with their own stories and so they have to appropriate the culture from other, better people.

I have been thinking the same thing. Make your own stories --- quit "appropriating" OURS.

[Vaduz]

Yes you can’t remake classics they stand alone.

[Fledermaus]

Crappy movie. Frankly, to me, it was racist.

Thought I was watching a high tech Shakka Zulu.

"What next.... Taxi Driver, Dr. Strangelove, A Farewell to Arms."

Blazing Saddles...LOL.

Don’t forget (Valerie Jarrett) got Moochie Obama-Mao her lawyer job at 300K a year shifting Medicaid ER admission patients from for-profit private hospitals transported to the Cook County Hospital and others... with a per-capita bonus for each sent away patient so the for-profits could make more bucks. All true story. Caring for their “kind”. Not.

On top of her blatantly "woke" graduation thesis at Princeton where she herself was an Affirmative Action admission and vying for the most class-less First Lady (?) ever while posing as Bathhouse Barry's 'beard'.

This is the Demoncrat Party's "Great Black Hope" to defeat President Trump. And they may pull it off if the GOP-E help them like they always do when true patriots threaten to upset their corruption apple carts.
