I tend to read the posts of regular contributors ‘in the whole’, it helps with spotting patterns in their thinking.

 

The Venn diagram of certain views, frequently expressed by some, approaches that of a unitary circle.

 

If I might give some examples:

 

People who accept the anthropomorphic climate change thesis, also tend to be pro-vaccine, pro-choice, pro-immigration, anti-trickledown economics, pro-LGBTQ rights.

 

When it comes to some other issues, for instance around the examples you have chosen as the basis of your argument, a whole different ‘unitary circle’ reveals itself.

 

 

In other words, no evidence of anything.

You've got nothing.

Don’t worry Jonny you can buy some cartoon nfts of your favorite hero lol ???? personally I’m going to miss the late night talk shows I always start my morning with them for laughs then the news helps me cope lol ???? 

Yes I can't say Aquaman/The Avengers, or Cuties is really my type of thing.

More of a Tarantino, Lynch, Kubrick, Scorsese fan.

Another good example of why countries need to protect their borders and manage illegal immigration properly.

This luvvy duvvy approach of welcoming everyone with open arms (or not managing illegals effectively) is proving a complete disaster in many countries, the UK being the most obvious example.

If the race of the person being portrayed has no bearing on their life story then I don’t care who plays who.

 

But examples you chose, MLK and Mohammed Ali are evidently race specific historical characters.

 

That you chose these in juxtaposition to Anne Boleyn reveals a level of unbelievable ignorance.

 

I myself think it wasn’t ignorance but that other thing that causes some folk to get rather irrational and irate over matters of race.

 

 

 

What other thing? I hope you are not implying what you seem to be implying. If you think it then say it, but you better have some evidence to back it up.

          So why was it published in the first place???? An accident? Somebody just sneaked it in under the editors nose? , Anybody been disciplined? of course not.

              It totally reflects their editorial standards, it was authorised and approved at the highest level,  it was put out there deliberately to advertise  exactly what they stand for. Of course they new they would have to pull it eventually , but by the time they decided to remove it  with the usual meaningless and insincere apology, they had achieved their objective.  It cannot be "unseen".

              A bit like when a barrister lets slip a piece of inadmissible evidence and the judge instructs the jury to disregard it, they can never truly do that.

               Its akin to a journalistic intentional professional foul and they will have no regrets whatsoever

 

I wouldn't expect any better from The Guardian.

Anti-Semitism is rife in left wing politics and left wing media alike. Disgraceful.

At least he won't have to put up with the childish insults from Sturgeon this time.

She has bigger things to worry about.

Let’s just examine this for a moment.

 

”So you’d support Tom Cruise playing Michael Jordan?”

 

Not the topic of discussion, not even anything I’ve ever expressed an opinion on.

 

“Or can you work race into his story as well ?”

 

Erm what?

 

“It seems you think race is integral to every black persons story.”

 

Now you are back to imagining the opinions on behalf of others then asserting that they hold the opinions you have imagined.

 

“That’s identity politics I guess.”

 

No, that’s you making up views on behalf of other people.

 

“incredibly divisive but a staple of the Wokerati diet.”

 

A bit of a poor diet given the content of your post here comprises nothing but your own imaginings.

 

I suggest you argue with what people have actually said and not what you imagine they have said. You are in truth arguing with yourself.

 

It’s not a good look.

Stop wriggling.

Do you support the roles of black historical figures being taken by white actors in the same way that you support the roles of white historical figures being taken by black actors?

It's a simple question. Yes or No. You either support racial equality or you don't.

I’ve explained why race is central to the lives and any portrayal of the lives of MLK and Mohammed Ali, and why issues of race is not any part of the life of Anne Boleyn.

 

Refer above.

It seems you think race is integral to every black persons story. That’s identity politics I guess. incredibly divisive but a staple of the Wokerati diet.

Equating MLK and Mohammed Ali to Anne Boleyn, for goodness sake man, get a grip.

 

How am I equating them? And what difference does it make if they are equatable? Get a grip woman. So the acceptability of playing the part of someone from a different race is dependent on the status of the person you are playing?

What is your point exactly? It’s ok for white people to play the role of bad black people but not good black people? Or black people can only play the part of bad white people? 

A white guy can play John Allen Muhammad but not Muhammad Ali?

You’re tying yourself in knots again. You’re going all Sturgeon on us. You might want to see how that worked out for her. 

Let’s be honest, what you are really saying is that it’s ok for black actors to play white roles but not vice versa. You perfectly embody the hypocrisy of the left once again. Well done.

MLK and Mohammed Ali were both activists in the struggle of the civil rights movement, both victims of racism who rose above tat racism.

 

Their race is central to their story.

 

Non of which can be said of Ann Boleyn, her story was not one of race and she was not the subject of racism, she was not an activist in the fight against racism.

 

Why this needs to be explained to you is a mystery.

 

Well, actually, no it’s not a mystery at all.

 

Ok how about Rowan Atkinson playing Michael Jordan ?

I’m guessing every famous black man is a victim of racism whose race is central to the story in your leftist woke world?

The fact you see race as a central point in every argument only highlights on your own agenda and prejudice.

The same ‘Corporate America’ that was given a $1.3Trillion tax break by Trump.

 

Go figure.

Makes you wonder what Biden (well, his handlers) has promised. Because I doubt they are supporting him for his economic genius.

This is great news.

There is no way a criminal would own/buy an illegal gun. So this will solve everything.????
