Is it ok to let a black actor play a character in a period piece

>>82867846
Those damn Europeans and their History am' I right

>>82868144
Just seems weird and out of place for shows like "The Hollow Crown"

Because the BBC is run by kikes

>>82867846
>A human being?

It depends. If it's like Jesus Christ Super Star it's fine because nothing about that movie is supposed to look period correct.
Other times not so much.

Does anyone remember that one bible show where an asian angel comes down to Sodom and Gomorrha and started karate kicking and killing all those perverts? What was it called?

>>82867846
No problem since The Hollow Crown isn't history, it's Shakespeare and there's been black actors playing pretty much every role in his plays for decades and decades at least.

fuck off, apologist

>>82867846
I think it's great, because it shows that the creators have no integrity or talent. Makes it easier to spot shit, so I don't have to waste an hour watching it.

Why not get a black actor to play a slave owner...it wouldn't be any stretch at all...
In fact, the first legal slave owner in the US was black...
Anything is simply trying to rewrite history for diversities sake, and it isn't worth it desu...

>>82867846
>Could a black actor play a white slaveholder?
I guess.

>A queen of England?
Maybe if it were set in the future?

>A knight in the middle ages?
No.

QWANES

>>82867846
It's cultural appropriation
though a black person playing a white slave owner in America would be funny

>>82867846
It can work if the person is exceptional and everyone around them constantly makes a huge deal of it all the time and the first thing they have to do in every single situation is justify themselves. Like would actually happen.

>>82869416
Wtf I need to know what this is

>>82869979
They should do a sitcom based on a black slave owner in 19th century America

AYO WHERE GUINEVERE AT?

>abc
Not surprised since abc is one of the shittiest channels with horrible content.

Aye Gwen get that ass over here and cook a nigga some breakfast before I toss that used up pussy back to Arthur

>>82867846
I could care less about the last two but a white slaveholder doesn't make sense, it has ''white'' on the title, why would somebody who's bkacj play that? Of course he could be a black slaveholder which were an actual thing

People are bitching about a show where a character is an actual boy made of wood. Has black character play knights and what not.

>>82867846
>Shakespearean propaganda piece isn't historically accurate
What a shock

>>82867846

I've never cared because it's never been my history so far.

If there are any blacks in the Cu Chulainn movie I will flip my shit.

>>82870453
but that would be accurate portrayal

Could a black actor play a white slaveholder - maybe, black people sold other blacks all the time
A queen of England - no, England is(was) a white country
A knight in the middle ages - if there was an actual black knight sure. Not someone like Lancelot though.

Of course. Fucking Europeans trying to whitewash history. First it was them claiming Egyptians weren't black and now they're trying to trick you into believing Saxons and Franks weren't.

>>82870799
The Irish may be niggers but they aren't fucking black!

In short, case by case basis but almost always not okay.

If you want to argue it's okay because social justice, then it's silly because it's only humiliating to blacks because it means they can only matter if they steal others' history.

If you say it's okay because you should tell old stories with casts that reflect the average audience-goer, then does that make John Wayne as Genghis a good idea? No, it looks fucking stupid and it alienates everyone rather than including anyone.

>>82867846
If you're going to accuracy, absolutely.
I look forward to thousands of years from now when we remake NWA movie with white actors and black/caramel/mixed as fuck people are asking the same thing.

>>82867846
So long as it's not a serious period piece like the latest King Arthur. I didn't mind Digimon Honsu in that one.
