[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Whites are accused of cultural appropriation for wearing dreadlocks, but a black Anne Boleyn is ok, apparently. 

It's only a matter of time before before some woke (but extremely ignorant) SJW posts that Henry only cut off her head because he was a racist who hated black people.

Positive discrimination has never worked, it just puts a lot of incompetent people in high powered jobs. It happens quite a bit in education, people promoted to jobs they are simply not capable of doing.
It's part of the reason I cancelled my tv football subscriptions, you'd think the only people qualified to comment on football are black or female or both. Have you ever tried to listen to a female screeching her way through a commentary?
Football focus, bbc 1, Saturday lunchtime, is now fronted by Alex Jones, a black female. It's overkill, and people will soon overcome their fear of being called racist, homophobic, misogynist, etc..........I hope.

Unfortunately yes.

It's actually better with the sound off

And the picture 👀

And the picture 👀

In some Welsh football games I've watched they've managed to squash the ball till it's all misshapen, and they handle it all the time. Stupid Taffy bastids 

[Raeturbo]

You wouldn’t understand, (it’s a mans game)

[BazaJT]

And it's a far better game than football ever could be.

[Drewomega]

And, in answer to your 'Why?', Drew, it's called brainwashing.

STEMO you are right mate.

Unfortunately 'people' believe all this crap and it is a bit worrying!

As most OOF'ers know on this great site that I live here in Scotland and Mallorca. Krankie wants more of the wee devils up here! (as you have probably guessed I am not a NK fan)

I know what 'racism' is in foreign parts directed at me! believe me it is nowhere near the racism that has been in the media reported here against asians and blacks. Nowhere near. 

Rant over 

Time for a beer!

Yes, that's why it rakes in so much money 

[Drewomega]

Football? girlie game. 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Unfortunately a lot of this has happened since that poor unfortunate thieving drug taking bastard Mr Floyd ( famous for not being able to breathe) resisted arrest & subsequently died Somehow showing all these black folk doing various everyday things is supposed to make people realise how great they really are . Like you I don't think this will end well, hope Mr Floyd is rotting in hell .

I'd imagine that St Peter was expecting someone like Jimmy Carter after looking down and watching five or six 'state' funerals but got quite shock when Mr Floyd popped up at the Pearly Gates! 

Hopefully he kicked his arse down the stairs sharpish!

 Don't worry chaps. Swings and roundabouts.

I look forward to seeing a 'white Ali' .......white 'Nelson Mandela' and a white ' Malcolm X' in the near future.

.......except I won't live to see it. It's a one-way (woke) street.

I'm sure no-one could possibly have a problem with a white woman playing Rosa Parks?

I partially disagree here. To me, it doesn't matter if they cast a black person to play Anne Boleyn, the colour of the actor doesn't affect the story being told as race is not part of that story.

Now if you cast a white person to MLK, that would be wrong, because his story is all about race and repression. The only way you could tell this story with a white MLK, would be to swap the roles of the black and white people, but then the story wouldn't be the same and the point is overshadowed by casting choice.

Just my opinion.

It's not a 'story' though, is it? It's history. Let's make Hitler a chink, shouldn't affect the story 

[deviator]

But then we are back to actors only allowed to play the roles if they are like the person they portraying.

As an example, the madness of king George. By your reasoning, this could only be played by an actor who is barking mad. What next Wolverine needs to be actual wolf machine hybrid actor?
