The main reason I object to these unceasing attempts to have Blacks portray characters, including historical characters who would never in a million years be Black follows:
I don’t care if it is The King of Persia, a member of Robin Hood’s merry men, a Norse God, A Greek God or demigod, ancient Scots or Irish or Dutch, they are not doing it trying to be historically accurate. They are doing it to make us believe lies. Lies which fit their political and social ideas of how they wish it was.
Blacks are portrayed in the media at a rate far, far greater than would be by chance. You will virtually never see a group of two or more in which one or more depending on the number, are Black. If you see a group of say 3 friends, you can just about count on one being Black.
If characters include Dr.s, scientists, supervisors, police chiefs, heads of government agencies and so on. It is about a 50/50 chance they will be Black. There is probably a 70/30 chance they will be Black or Female, or both.
The entire world has gone insane over Blacks. Obama was elected because he was Black. The Arabic sounding name didn’t hurt either.
I am just fed up with PC, only now it is not just political correctness, it is PC powered by a nuclear reactor.
I’d allow some poetic license to try to see if a black character could fly as a James Bond. Clearly it would not be a follow-on to other James Bond movies but a work of its own kind.
It might be advantageous in a way. This spy was “cool.” Some black people can do a very convincing “cool.”
This doesn’t apply in a situation where you’re expecting a family to be all white and lo and behold there is a black boy or girl and “hello, this is my daughter” (I don’t think so).
