Oh no! A black actor in a lead role!
The whole movie must be anti-white!
Morons.
This is the leftist media starting this crap. The NY Daily news was promoting this like it was for real yesterday, saying that Republicans are upset because the lead guy in the trailer is black and of course all the brain dead leftist Obama/Hillary zombies believe it. When they can’t find racism they invent it.
But
If the good guys were all white, as the Empire bigwigs are, and the bad guys were diverse, with the leads played by 50 cent and Jay Z, you'd never hear the end of it.
Just sayin'.
If all the bad guys are white, then I see their point.
We had black “Karate Kid”, black “Annie”, now we’ll have black “Star Wars” (they probably weren’t selling enough toys in the ‘hood, and whites don’t have any more children to buy them anyway). I have no problem with that; I just have no plans on seeing it - the last four Star Wars movies were horrible.
Is that “raciss”?
Meanwhile, Billy Dee Williams (as Lando) had a major role in Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and those were the better films of the franchise.
