Off Topic What is a woke thing?

It’s Marvel slop though. Like all Marvel films, it’s just a poor caricature. The Thor films are a **** adaptation of North Germanic culture too.

 

There were lots of songs banned by the BBC, though some temporarily.

David Whitfield had a connection with one of them, which still holds a unique status in the charts,

I don't hate them, but we're not debating whether we like Marvel

 

He certainly wouldn’t be black. Here’s a novel idea, have him played by a Jewish male.

 

Put on your own musical and push back then. Or keep shaking your fists at the clouds.

 

Not so thick as being unable to spell Nationalists though.

 

Tesco now selling a cracking version of meatballs and mash in the ready meal section. Very much like the IKEA version. To be enjoyed by woke and non woke alike.

 

Jesus is a fictional character.

Being mostly Macedonian Greek, with uncertain lineage on her mother’s side, Cleopatra may not have been considered white by today’s standards either, but she’s been played by many, many white actresses – most famously, Elizabeth Taylor. Why are you not as frustrated by that?

 

Just keep accepting any old **** no matter how incorrect and woke.

 

Plenty of evidence that Jesus existed. None that he was the son of God though.

Liz Taylor was more the hue of this Macedonian female than the black woman who played her. Egyptians and Macedonians were both upset by Cleopatra being portrayed as a black woman. The only reason Cleopatra wasn’t as white as Liz Taylor is she saw a lot more sunlight.
Roll on white actors playing Mandela, MLK, Muhammad Ali and others. Why not if they better at the role?

 

So are you saying they wouldn’t if she had been white?

 

In and of itself perhaps.
But when it's pushed in a way that intentionally suppresses (even to despise) our own culture & history it's no longer a positive and great thing.

No problem.


They could just use blackface.

















What???

 

Assuming "they" = the black kids and not the frothers, yes. Representation matters, and they were pleased to see that she was black like them.

 

50/50 on kingsley in Gandhi... He blackfaced but did have the heritage. My ex had to blackface to blend in when she returned to the country of her race... She has brown hair, light skin and green/brown eyes, so kept on getting over charged for everything, so headscarfed up on the plane.

 

That’s an adult view , young kids don’t see colour the same way - it’s suggestions like that , that create division isn’t it ?, adults ‘thinking’ for children . My two grandkids are in class with some mixed ethnicity and ‘they ‘ are just friends .

 

Jesus is a historical figure. You would struggle to find a serious historian who said otherwise

 

What about when Mickey Rooney played Mr Yunioshi (a Japanese man) in Breakfast at Tiffany’s?

What about Johnny Depp playing Tonto (a Native American man) in The Lone Ranger?

What about Katherine Hepburn playing Jade (a Chinese woman) in Dragon Seed?

What about John Wayne playing Genghis Kahn in The Conqueror?

What about Marlon Brando playing Sakini (a Japanese man) in The Teahouse of the August Moon?

What about Yul Bruner playing the King of Siam in the King and I?

Are you not outraged by these? Or do they meet your “hue” criteria?
