Coming out at Christmas, but sounds like Denzel Washington transcends mere race. Worth a read for some insights on the guy if true...

Aren't most of The Bard's writing considered transcendent of "race" and more along the lines of depicting the Human condition?

However, my wife likes to watch certain TV shows, some set in "the olden days", that have actors of color in roles folks of that persuasion would most likely not have been seen in. But, they're just TV shows.

Saw a commercial the other day that had a black Santa! There is nothing the left won’t touch to force feed the racism card down your throat!

I like to complain about putting blacks in historical roles that were white people, but I really like Denzel. And anyway, MacBeth is almost mythical so I don’t think it matters too much. I like everything the Coens do and I like Denzel and Francis a lot.

Wouldn't have thought that role for Denzel. He's a great actor though.

Almost worse than all the current ads showing a plethora of blacks in situations that haven't happened & likely wont ever happen on any kind a realist or significant basis.

All just virtue signaling for whatever part of the buying public they think that the are appealing too.

I've crossed a lot of products off my "OK to buy" list lately........................I really doubt that that marketing strategy is a longterm winner.

Tomorrow?

Does Macduff still kill him, or is that racist?


Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

Imho the bard transcends race. There are many exceptional Shakespearien actors in the UK who happen to be of African descent. Watch Ralph Feinnes version of Coriolanus! It is epic!!

So, it would be OK if I reversed the race of Martin Looter King Jr in a movie and the opening scene is a White, married MLK beating the schitt out of a black whore in a hotel room for 10 minutes??
