White Actor Cast as Michael Jackson

Truth Revolt ^

[Bon of Babble]

It has been announced that white, British actor Joseph Fiennes, the younger brother of Ralph Fiennes (and just as white), has been cast to play Michael Jackson in an upcoming British television comedy.

This news comes at a very precarious time for American film, a time when black actors in Hollywood are complaining that they aren't being recognized for their roles as they should. It also comes at a time when some black conservatives are calling out Black History Month and BET as examples of racist double standards.

But Michael Jackson WAS white.

LOOK at him!

[Charles Martel]

On the TV series, Once Upon A Time, Merlin and Lancelot are black.

I once saw a stage production of A Christmas Carol where Jacob Marley's ghost was played by an overweight black woman.

Joseph Fiennes, who is actually far too dark skinned to play Jackson. ;p

Libtards must be stroking out over this.

"Michael was born a poor black boy but died a rich white woman."

Is American a great country, or what?

:: Is American a great country, or what? ::

Only in the USA can a poor black boy from Gary Indiana grow up to be a rich white woman.

"Black Lives Matter" leader DeRay Mckesson lamented, "They seriously couldn't find a black actor to play Michael Jackson?"

When Jackson was a young kid living in Chicago he looked black... When he was older he looked white... more like a white woman who overdid plastic surgery.

No way a black actor could have played the adult Jackson.

From Martin Luther to Michael Jackson. What a journey in an acting career.

[Above My Pay Grade]

They should have hired a black actor and had him bleach his skin and undergo dozens of cosmetic surgeries.

"...This news comes at a very precarious time for American film, a time when black actors in Hollywood are complaining ..."

Black people complaining is not "precarious:", no matter how you spin it.

Maybe they should have cast a white woman to play OJ Simpson in the docu-drama “The People vs. OJ Simpson”.

How about casting a young, attractive black woman to play Nicole?

[Buckeye McFrog]

They should have cast SOMEBODY other than Cuba Gooding, Jr. to play O.J. Simpson.

He’s a fine actor, but absolutely nothing is right about him. Not his voice, not his physique. Nothing.

What? You got something against old, unattractive homosexual asian males that identify as transgendered?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

What is an actor? A person who gets paid to pretend to be someone he is not.

Think Warner Oland as Charlie Chan
Peter Lore as Mr Moto
James Mason as a Chinese ambassador
Flora Robson as the Empress of China
John Wayne as Genghis Khan
Omar Sharif as Genghis Khan
Robert Morley as the Emperor of China.
Espera Oscar de Corti as Iron Eyes Cody.
Bruce Cabot as Sam Sharpnose (American Indian)
Judith Anderson in A Man Called Horse
Trevor Howard in WINDWALKER.
Woody Strode as Stone Calf(American Indian)

And the list goes on....and on.

Awaiting word from the cast of Annie on this issue...

[rollo tomasi]

Yes the movie is a comedy, DeRay McKesson's

[meowmeow]

Linda Hunt as Billy Kwan in the Year of Living Dangerously. I believe she got an Oscar for that.

“How about casting a young, attractive black woman to play Nicole? “

And Professor Irwin Corey to play OJ?
