Remake "Roots"; But make Toby a white Irish actor. Would it be ok?

[bucs90]

White Slaves in America Outnumbered Black Slaves - Bet you didn't know that did you?

More whites were sold into slavery in America than blacks. Were you aware? Especially Irish whites.

I think Hollywood should remake the slave movie "Roots". But cast Toby as a white Irish character. Maybe Conan Obrien could be the lead.

"Whutch-yo name boy?"

"Aeden. Aeden O'Sullivan".

"Nope. Yo name Toby. I say Whutch-yo name boy"

"My name Aeden."





Hmmm. Wonder if the left would accept this as gleefully as the black Annie or black Bond or black Star Wars lead haha!!??

There seems to be a mental obligation for white-black interracial dating & black leader & such on TV. I think that "forceful obligation" is what's being the issue. Not whether a black should be a leader (which would be easier to perceive for dumb people who want to feel sophisticated).

Great to see Harrison Ford back in Star Wars.

Why be a copy-cat (assuming you could get the rights from the Haley estate) and pay to do a remake of somebody else's work?

Write your own script about the Redlegs. It's certainly an unexamined piece of American history. But brace yourself for the backlash from the "Scots-Irish" who will object to the portrayals.

I agree. That's what is annoying....the forced political shit. Hell...if Denzel or Will Smith are auditioning for a role...they clearly are probably 2 of the 10 best actors in the world...give it to them.

But I'm waiting for a movie about the Civil War....where Ulysses S. Grant is played by Kanye West.

Same reason they didn't do an original...but instead want to cast a black person as Bond or Annie.

I want Roots remade...but Toby is white.

One constant theme you may or may not have noticed is that Blacks or minority characters in films that have, before being re-written, been dominated by a cast of European extraction, are always on the side of the 'good guys'. Why are they never cast in roles that are 'evil'. How would our resident Social Justice Warriors (SJWs) have reacted if John Boyega had been cast as a Sith Lord? I mean, he was originally a stormtrooper who I'm guessing had some sort of epiphany over fighting for the Empire, but what if he'd been cast as a 'baddie' throughout?

What a load of dingos' kidneys.

Irish actors are great!

I wanna see Colin Ferrell play MLK in a civil rights bio.

Bo, how would you feel if, in the next WWII blockbuster, Hitler was played by a Black man?

Darth Vader was eventually revealed to have white skin, and his race was never revealed until the end. You could try answering the question I asked in the post you quoted me on, if you've got the guts.

You think I'm being serious haha? No...I don't own the rights. Or the resources to make a movie. I'm guessing you don't get humor and mockery. Dumbass.

Well, then, enjoy your little fantasy project. Glad I don't have to 'splain copyright law to you.
