so now history is racisss... fehJump forward 100 years and imagine historical dramas of the time period around 2017. What roles would be available to future black actors?
Mostly criminals and rabble-rousers and community organizers.
Might want to fix your culture NOW so that you can have achievements that are worth portraying in the future.
History is racist.
Why not play a tribe member who capture other tribe members and sold them to Arab slave traders, Thandie. How about play a victim of the Mendala necklacing campaign,Thandie? Just trying to help out.
so now history is racisss... fehI get sick of seeing unrealistic shows. Every police captain is black, female, or both. Blacks are introduced into ridiculous old west settings, or the Revolutionary War, where the number of freed blacks who fought on either side was miniscule.
I get the plot in “Black Sails” that the pirates are trying to initiate a slave rebellion . . . but of course slave leader is a black woman and the person in charge of all the finances in Nassau is a white woman.
Indeed, playing Richard III, Henry V, Charles I, or Macbeth as black is rather a bit much.
Bollywood refuses to hire me in their historical dramas. Unfair.
Also I never get male parts. I long to play a dashing hero, maybe a general. But I want to play him with boobs and makeup. It’s so sexist.
I can’t wait to see black actors portray Nazis.
I will leave my thought unsaid.
