'Annie' is Black and Racists Go F*cking Crazy

[Cthulhu]

That's the part some people can't grasp ... It's Fictional Folks

Exactly. So if they start re-writing history by saying what a noble black man George Washington is, or how MLK was actually Jewish or some other nonsense, then it deserves rebuttal.

But when people start tossing the term '$#@!' around carelessly it just makes no sense. It doesn't enhance dialogue at all, it only causes strife.

However, when black people let it get them all riled up, it doesn't help anything. I have never in my life seen a white guy get all riled up over being called a honkey or a cracker the way some black folks get when some non-black person calls them a '$#@!'. Makes no sense really.

I think white people and other non-blacks get confused with the word actually. They see black people call themselves that all the time and nothing happens, the wrong message is broadcasting.

So let me know when Spike Lee casts a lead role with a white dude.

I won't hold my breath.

Actually "Oldboy" starring Josh Brolin is a Spike Lee film. Variation on old classical Greek tragedy. Not recommending, mind you.

Any Adult with half a brain knows the difference between an intentional insult and one that is not ... so let's just stop pretending we don't know.

Yeah, I figured there was an exception but either way, my point is - if the reverse happened, a traditionally black role was now substituted with a white role player, there would be a whole $#@!load of bedshitting.

It's a double standard and while I don't condone racism, in sort of a way I understand why white people are becoming more and more frustrated at being told they must adhere to a different set of rules than everyone else.

Yea, that's true. Spike should follow up on Cthulhu's suggestion and make a movie about a Jewish MLK starring Johnny Depp.
