I know, I know........some of you are looking at the title and trying to figure out the difference between a Conservative and a White Supremacist. We'll get to that another time.
Has anyone ever heard of the movie Thor?
Is anyone familiar with Thor?
Don't feel bad, I had never heard of it either.
Thor is a comic book movie about a Norse God, Heimdall, a mythical character from an early German tribe from way back, like the 9th century or something. (that's what the thang said when I pulled it up).
Well, some Conservatives are upset because Idris Elba, a black man, got the role. These people are actually calling for a boycott of the movie.The Council of Conservative Citizens and other crazies like the tea party folks are calling this, affirmative action gone wild.
I guess the shoe doesn't feel so good on the other foot. For YEARS we as black people have had to watch shows with an all white cast. You never heard us talking about boycotting a movie because the character should be black.
Besides, it's a MYTHICAL character!!!!!!!!
CALM DOWN!!!!!
It's not like someone did a movie about the bible and decided to cast Morgan Freeman as Jesus. THEN I could understand why you would be upset.
Although Morgan Freeman is closer to the TRUE physical description of Jesus than that red haired man hanging on most people's wall.
(Revelation 1:14-15)
