Sounds like you’re being emotional and treating racism like a competition. Can’t really have a reasonable conversation with you if that’s the case

I meant eye deaf

I saw a blurred video of the killing and even with the blur it’s brutal. Looks like she takes one to the chest and as she reacts she gets hit again in the head at least once

Im glad DJ Qualls found love

Not all victims of domestic violence are women. Sometimes it men and children

Did… did you just say racism wasnt a thing in 1530s Tudor England?

It’s funny how arabs, latinos, asians, North Africans, Italians, Greeks are suddenly “white” when it’s convenient to you.

It’s funny how Latino, Arab, Asian, Greek, actors are suddenly “white” when convenient.

Jesus was a Palestinian, so it’s ok to take Arab jobs and give em to black actors? Cleopatra was Greek/arab so I guess they can take their roles too.

It’s funny how everyone who isn’t black is suddenly white when it’s convenient. This isn’t black actors taking the roles of white Americans, it’s black actors playing Egyptians, Greeks, arabs, latinos, Asians. Are all those people white??

So I can hire Toby McGuire to play Sammy Davis jr and nobody will be mad?

Ok?

Does audible actually do the audiobooks? I assumed it was the publishers. Sometimes the books i want aren’t available on audio which I listen to while working

As someone loves history, it’s not ok. Especially when the “white” people being erased aren’t even white. Cleopatra wasn’t white but she’s sure as hell wasn’t black. A lot of the characters being turned black are Greek, Latino, Irish, Italian, Arab, Asian. So is that ok? For a black actor to get the job of every other race? Why not a blank woman playing pancho villa? Maybe get idris alba to play the Dali lama.

Hey for the deaf and people who need the info on the page, robot voice is better than nothing.

Just pretend the book is being narrated by Stephen Hawking!

The issue is there’s a million books out there with no audio and never will. Im ok with Ai doing readings on books that wouldn’t otherwise get an audio version

It’s weird how the reverse is somehow ok now. Anne Boleyn played by a black woman why not? Historical accurac? What even is that?? .

Edit: you’re all ignoring that most of the roles being blackwashed are not white, how is it ok for black culture to just appropriate our own ethnic figures?

I just realized that next year is 30 years since the release of the N64. Fuck im old

Shit needs to get worse and turn into chaos for anything you finally snap

Yet here you are

You forgot the part where you get to call young people lazy
