Rev. Jesse Jackson partially credits the casting of black British actor John Boyega for the financial success of Star Wars: the Force Awakens in an op-ed piece about “Hollywood apartheid.”

Oh, so an "African-American" wasn't good enough, huh? They had to get a British guy.

He’s a dumb ass. It was a great script, a great franchise with good acting.
Nothing about diversity made the movie a success.

Star Wars: The force awakens would have been uber successful if the entire cast were white conservative Christian Americans.

Yeah, that’s why everyone I know went to see it, racial diversity. The success of the franchise has nothing to with it.

Yeah, just like the first one. Broke all the records back than due to all the minorities in the cast. /s

And the Feminists will claim that it was because the lead was a chick.

I must be a racist because I was focused on a good story and not the flavors of the cast. I've even got an original VHS of Disney's Song of the South>/i> where all but one of the stars in the cast were Black and Jesse Jackson got it banned. But they still sell it in Japan with subtitles!

Seems like the diversity level is about the same as it was with Billy Dee Williams.

I am thinking that by mid century, the majority Browns will make sure Blacks are truly second class citizens, along with the Muslims. They get along OK for now, but there is quite a hatred between them underneath it all.

How much did the producers have to pay Jesse to purchase his diversity seal of approval?
