People with mental illness don't understand the difference between real and fake.......... They think Malcolm X should be a white person, you think the Human Storch should be back...... They will never get it...... Human Storch being black will generate a "Well why can't the Black Panthers or Nat Turner" be black response....... It's strange because they think it makes sense...... nikkas are dealing with mentally ill people..... Not sure how much we know it........ Devil is showing how much he and she can will be the devil.... There is no reasoning with these crazy folks....... I've never dealt with there extreme internet racism but if it was in my face I would deal with in accordingly......... They are roughly 70% of the population........ Let's do this the right and smart way...... Stop letting these agents in....... Box them out.... Stop telling them how to blend in.... Stop being them passes cuz they like purple kool aid........ It's way but a lot of your nikkas refuse to try now....... Shame

the use of that "content of character" line is becoming cliche

And they still won't acknowledge actual racism perpetrated against black people...ya know Dr. King's whole reason for fighting.

But a black guy was casted as human torch.

And a Norse God and potentially James Bond........only difference is those are fictional characters so Cacs can't come with those fukking excuses.

While Oatman understands that the piece may stir some controversy he also hopes that it stirs discussion about America’s original sin: race. “I truly wanted to explore the issue of racial ownership and authenticity. I didn’t want this to be a stunt, but a true exploration of King’s wish that we all be judged by the content of our character and not the color of our skin,” said Oatman about his non-traditional cast. “I wanted the contrast . . . I wanted to see how the words rang differently or indeed the same, coming from two different actors, with two different racial backgrounds.”

The term racial authenticity specifically refers to what it means to be a part of a particular race. It's not possible to explore the authenticity of a character's race if the actor cast for him is of a completely different one. I guess the director just thought he would throw some words together and somehow it would make it ok.

On top of MLK later speeches where he was far more militant and saying that he "is black and black is beautiful."
