In this version with so called people of color, I wonder if the bad Mr. Potter character will still be a white man ?
Wasn’t this already dine for the Wizard of Oz - The Wiz? It was a flop!
They'll make him look remarkably like Donald Trump, I'm sure...
For instance, instead of having George Bailey own a Building and Loan, he will run a halfway house for people released from jail and reintroducing into society. Potter will be a bad cop trying to shut down the halfway house and send everyone back to jail, or something.
Bailey wishes he'd never been born, and suddenly the neighborhood is a shambles, gangs everywhere, people locked behind bars in their own homes afraid to go out, and Potter patrolling the streets in a SWAT armored car looking for curfew violators, or something.
In Oz, D'oroquesha runs away from home and encounters a wannabe rap singer named Marvel Marv who's living out of his van down by the river. Marv tells D'oroquesha to go home and wait until she's older to face the world.
On the way home, D'oroquesha is caught up in a race riot and is knocked out by a rock that was thrown by an unseen rioter. She wakes up and finds herself in a white neighborhood where all the black people are slaves who are hiding from her. Suddenly, the Good Queen of the North appears and tells her that she killed the Evil Queen of the East who had enslaved all of the blacks, who are now free.
D'oroquesha tells the Good Queen that she just wants to go home, but learns that only the great Wizard has the power to send her home. Along the way she befriends a teacher, a policeman, and a social worker...

Well it would be far more to the point and accurate if it had the character be a black/Iranian liberal biotch as in Valerie Jarrett.... Chicago slumlord (for real) who abused “her people” for blood money rent in crack houses, and condemned subsidized housing buildings. Oh, and don’t forget got Moochie obamaumao 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.
