Everyone’s pissed about Benedict getting Dr. Strange, and calling marvel dumb for not choosing someone who’s actually his race. But Johnny Storm isn’t black, and he’s being played by Michael B. Jordan, which is probably the only thing people are happy about for FF. Do we seriously hate white people this much?

Hey, cracker. You apparently do not understand why whitewashing is wrong.



Whitewashing is letting a white character play someone who was originally a person of color, let that person be Black, Asian, etc.



Now, as you know, our media is so corrupted, there isn’t enough PoC representation on TV. If Black people are shown on TV, they’re the thugs, jezebels, welfare queens or whatever they show us. Latinx people are shown as illegals and criminals. And that’s BAD representation of our race.



I’m Black and I’m sick of mayo on my TV. For once, I want to see a dynamic Black character. I want to see a character of color with disabilities that’s dynamic.



Representation is so important. You have little black girls thinking they can’t be Ariel or Cinderella because they’re white. You have little kids of color who are told that they cannot be Wonder Woman, Superman, etc because they are white. It’s discouraging and harmful.



Next time you open your white mouth on shit like this and say something ignorant, you will be sorry.
