Critics: Will Smith Too Light-Skinned to Play Serena Williams’ Father
Breitbart ^ | 5 Mar 2019 | Justin Caruso

The new film King Richard is facing allegations of “colorism,” as critics say that actor Will Smith’s lighter skin tone does not match the actual skin tone of the character he is cast to play.

I have an always found this type of racism that’s expressed by some blacks to be a very odd one.

I think Ed O’Neil would be good in the role.

The “colorists” have a point. Media loves light-skinned blacks, but dark-skinned blacks are made nearly invisible. Obama, Booker, Harris, Wilder, Patrick, Holder, Lynch... they all pass the “paper bag test.” And the fact he doesn’t is part of Richard Williams’ story. Don Cheadle would have been a better choice, but Smith will sell more tickets.

I once saw some newsreel puff-piece on either Warner Oland, born in Sweden, or Sidney Toler, of mostly Scottish lineage, in a pool, soaking up rays to for the role of Charlie Chan.

That was before the days of ozone depletion, and the effects of UV rays on skin.

Rickles was okay, but could he perform a Frontier Bris like Daniel Boone’s sidekick Mingo, Ed Ames?

“Ed Ames”

Loved when he threw the tomahawk on the Carson show. Hit the target right in the groin. Laughter ensued. I sure miss Carson.

Take this to the reparations question. Who is going to be black enough besides Northam to be worthy of reparations? Big can of worms here and black racism fully on public display.

Do they think skin color is like fabric samples? Do they think that all black family members have the same skin tone? Do they know nothing about biology and genetics?
/////////////////////

I have European ancestry and married an American black woman. We had two children, a boy and a girl. The kids and I had our DNA analyzed and it came back with much meaningful information.

It identified our parent child connection.
It identified our sex.
It identified the per cent of our DNA that came from various geographical areas.

IT DID NOT IDENTIFY OUR COLORS!

Interestingly race , color, and genders are not identified. Satan has convinced us that race is absolute you are either black or white, while gender is fluid. It is actually just the opposite. Race is so fluid as to be indistinguishable with DNA evidence, while sex is binary and immutable and is absolutely identifiable with DNA evidence.

The DNA doesn’t lie, my friend. If Kaitlin Jenner does her DNA it will come back male. As far as the fallacy of “race” goes, my response to the black or whiters has always been “is it color or is it culture? The broad generalized categories Mongoloid, Caucazoid and Negroid are very superficial and tell us very little that is useful information especially regarding color distinctions.
The marxists use dialectic materialism to set up binary categories designed to create victim and oppressor classes based on color. they have deceived many into believing these superficial characteristics are immutable and extremely important. It is now permissible for any “brown skinned” individual to believe that any light skinned individual is “racist” because it is a psychological deficiency of that “racial” group and only that group.
Europeans are considered “white”. That is a fallacy. There are 50 different cultural groupings within the “european” category. Many of those groupings don’t get along very well, witness WWI and WWII. Interestingly, DNA can distinguish between many of these cultural groupings, but can’t distinguish “color” differences.
America is the most culturally diverse nation and also contains large racial divergence. Again, the leftists want us to believe this race issue is binary in America. Nothing could be further from the truth. 15% of American marriages are interracial or interfaith. We are a post racial society, we just don’t believe it yet. Thanks for your comment I appreciate your thoughts.
