I believe that this is a correct and pertinent question. However, there have been a few changes in tradition in the last few years. I understand that a Negroe is to play James Bond in the next few James Bond movies. Projected dialogue: "Yea, that's right, I'm Bond, James Bond, uh-huh, you know that's right." Also we have a Negroe playing the President of the United States right now.

In answer to your question, I believe that Negroes should be treated like all other unsaved and brought to Jesus. Justice is blind, when it is the Lord who sits in judgment. You are either saved or not and there is no other condition. Glory!

I agree with both of you, Brothers. It is just political correctness gone mad whatever way you look at it. These days, colored folks on stage and in the movies are always played by colored actors, not letting anyone else get a look in.

Look at the Shakespeare play Othello, for example. In the 1952 movie the leading role was played by Orson Welles:



In the 1965 movie it was played by Laurence Olivier:



(Such a handsome fellow - he reminds me of dear Dr Niles!)

Now this was as it should be, by tradition, as there were no African-American actors in England in 1603, when Shakespeare wrote the play.

But fast-forward to 1995 and look what we get - Laurence Fishburne!



And yet while they exclude our people, still they complain and insist on being allowed to play Hamlet (a natural blond), Macbeth (probably a ginger) and, worst of all, Kings of England like King Lear and Henry IV Part 2.

Is this Christian behavior? I think not.

It's racism! Why aren't white males allowed to play black people in movies!?

Micheal Jackson played a white guy half his life and no one had a problem with it.

Thomas Howell was acting a black person in the Soul Man.

The film was quite realistic description of the advantages a black person can get. Of course some Harvard Law Students called the film racist.

Godfrey Cambridge did an impression of a white man in Watermelon Man, but only for a short while at the beginning of the movie - It's like most things, them Darkies can't put their back into anything.

Anybody who says a white guy can't play a role as simple as that of an ignorant, blue gummed tar baby obviously hasn't seen Al Jolsen sing "Mammy"! Masterful!

I'm looking forward to seeing Will Farrell playing a nigra in his latest movie.

This is a big step in acting and breaking racial barriers.

What's funny is that asians can't play whites cause God gave them shrimp eyes.

Re: Black people always play black people in movies...

I remember some years ago the Hellywood libs claimed to made a movie with two bucks playing a couple of white girls. Buh-loney! Take a look at these two ravishing ladies and tell they are really blue gums.
