Suppressed history: The Lone Ranger was black!

Just in case why you were wondering why black people can't let things go. It's because the whole story hasn't been told yet.

Whitewashing in Hollywood is nothing new. It's a tradition and it doesn't only happen to Blacks. Persian, Mexican, Asian, Puerto Rican etc characters have all been played by whites.

now I get it.

A TV show in the 1950's oppresses black people today.

The lone ranger keeps black people down

PS

I already knew about Bass Reeves and to say that the lone ranger is based on him is a stretch.

Stolen history is a big deal. Case in point, your need to denigrate the possibility. Reasons were given why he's a good candidate. You've given us nothing but an opinion apparently fueled by your desire to squash any notion that things aren't all they should be. Then you wonder why people say racism still exists.
