It's so natural for hollywood to assume that every Hero is a White man.
by Paradise Gray of X-Clan
Hollywood has always changed facts and edited history. From Charlton Heston as Moses and Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra. They are only continuing their tradition of White-washing our history. If they were able to portray Imhotep (The Mummy and The Mummy Returns who was one of the greatest black Heroes of all times and Jesus Christ as white without a single peep from our community, why should this even matter to them in the least?
Situations like this will continue and we as Black people (or whatever you want to consider yourself) will deserve what we get, unless we are willing to stand up against tyranny and white supremacy.
Demand that this movie be taken out of theatures. Boycott this movie like they attempted to boycott "Barbershop" show some community outrage like they did for the poster of 50's Get Rich Or Die trying. Cause the national media to pick up this story.
Do something for a change. (Yes I'm talking to you!).
