Jamie Foxx (Little John)


Just GTFO

It surprises me he isn't playing Robin Hood.

...or King Richard.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Or as another said, King Richard. In an age where black people can rewrite white history as vikings, Romans, Greeks, and even Norse Gods, it's a wonder why they chose to keep him white in this.

Didn't they cast a black man to play a Greek warrior in the TV series Troy? It's already happening, if it isn't non whites it's women becoming warriors during time periods where women just didn't do that kind of thing. Example the legion of shield maidens in Vikings.

They literally cast a black man to play Achilles. Of all the people they chose to black wash, it was Achilles. Like we're just supposed to swallow that kind of tripe like it's not big deal. And then with the Ghostbusters remake, the Oceans remake, and now Doctor Who, there's no end to this militant shoehorned progressive dogma.

Yeah they don't just choose these characters radomly. In Supergirl you have a black guy playing Jimmy Olsen the shy Scandinavian guy. In Thor you have a black guy playing Heimdahl the God who was known as the "White God". Now they want a black James Bond, a very British character.

It's no accident. Same as switching males for female.

Next time, Robin Hood, Little John and the whole group will be diverse.

The only white people will be the Sheriff of Nottingham and his minions that will oppress a diverse population, which off course is quite similar to what happened in real England according to modern historians.

Everybody knows that nobility were white oppressors while English people were diverse (lots of blacks and asians) and oppressed by whites. Please, accept it and don't be a NEGATIONIST.

*Shrugs* It's not the first time they did it to a supporting character. The BBC show made Friar Tuck black.
