So they should have cast a black guy, gave him a nosejob and put him in white face?

I just saw a Latin man portray Alexander Hamilton. I guess I should've been outraged.

No, you shouldn't have. That's OK.

Amazing how once the guy died he became a hero and people forgot about the whole child molestation thing.

Yes. This is taking work away from black actors and cheapening their "art". Lazurus did it in Tropic Thunder, why can't someone else? #BLM

Whats also making it worse for many in Hollywood, Joseph Fiennes is a "straight heterosexual" male playing Michael Jackson too.

White face is OK, as long as it's not Geisha white face, then that's racist unless you're japanese.

They should remake Roots with an all white cast. Not in black face or anything. Just a bunch of Adam Sandlers and David Spades being slaves.

Michael wanted to be white, so they portrayed him as such. Give a dead man his dream.

By being against a white actor playing MJ they are being insensitive to MJ identifying as white and I think an alien too.

Johnny Depp as Tonto, Emma Stone as Allison Ng, why would minorities possibly be upset?

At least they like to pretend they are. I think thats what they do for a living actually....

I thought you loved Hollywood? Or is that only when they're botching about Trump and grandstanding for left wing causes?

Sky in Britain has announced that they are soooooo offended, they will now not show this Michael Jackson movie as part of this mini-series.
