    Then you've never heard of Vidor, Texas. Lucky you. You pretend these people don't exist. I think you make up your naivete, quite frankly. But, hey, whatever it takes to keep protecting your provenly hypocritical position.

    I said earlier:

    Michael Jordon, Martin Luther King Jr, Barack Obama and Cassius Marcellus Jr are real people and absolutely should be portrayed properly.

    I do believe that with historical documentaries, historical dramas that are based on actual history, the people should absolutely be portrayed properly to maintain the integrity of history. Properly just doesn’t mean if they are black, a black actor should play them, or if they are white a white actor should play them. Historical facts surrounding their lives should be accurate as well.

    I don’t need to live in a world of extremes where I must stick to one point. When dealing with fictional characters, story characters, musicals that are written for entertainment purposes and not for documenting actual history, I don’t think skin colour really matters.

    Sorry that I can’t live up to the extreme view of it has to all be one way. It doesn’t. It’s my opinion and take it or leave it. I just happen to think things for entertainment purposes have more leeway. I will leave the extreme, non-flexible thinking to the bigots and racists.

    Not enough egg on the face and the hole is too shallow?

    Let me just ask this question. You said it is okay for Washington to be played by a black man because it is a musical. Let's cut the crap and get down to brass tacks. Answer this question:

    Would it be okay for a white actor to play Obama in a musical?

    Sure, why not ask Donald Trump to play Obama in a musical. Hilarious.

    So, you are saying it would be okay for a white actor to play Obama in a musical?

    Are you equating Europeans with white?

    Prince Immediately Regrets Waking Rachel Zegler With A Kiss After She Starts Ranting About The Patriarchy

    [​IMG]

    'FAIRY FOREST — Prince Florian quickly regretted his decision to wake Rachel Zegler from her enchanted sleep as she immediately launched into a 3-hour-long tirade about the patriarchy.'

    '"Yeah, this was a mistake," said Prince Florian as Ms. Zegler continued her diatribe. "I'm starting to see where the Queen was coming from."'

    'According to local dwarves, the first thing Ms. Zegler did upon being saved from her catatonic state was to accuse the Prince of being a creepy stalker. "She let him have it," said Sleepy. "To be frank though, we dwarves are as mad at the Prince as she is. We've had peace and quiet ever since Ms. Zegler ate that poisoned apple - and now the Prince has gone and ruined it all. Ugh, I'm going back to bed."'

    'Sources within the royal family state that the Queen decided to put Ms. Zegler to sleep just so she would finally stop talking. "I tried to be patient, but I had just had it," said the Queen. "Sure, maybe poisoning her with an apple to put her in a coma may have been a slight overreaction. Still, you spend 24 hours listening to that girl blabber on about what a victim she is -- then come judge me."'

    You didn't answer. You joked about Donald Trump playing Obama. Would you be okay with Ryan Gosling playing Obama in a musical?

    Also, what about Shaft. Should a white person be able to play the part of Shaft. Remember: Shaft is a fictional character.

    In the story of Snow White, it describes her as having "skin as white as snow."

    That's some brownish-looking snow.
