Can a black guy play Billy The Kid?

[Mammoth]

It sounds racist but I never liked when they cast people of the wrong race into certain roles. I was a big fan of the Dark Tower series. Huge mistake casting Idris Elba as a character described to be like Clint Eastwood.

I'd be boycotting that **** if it happened

**** blackwashing and changing people's race in the name of forced diversity

[STREET CLEANER]

It would go against of the accounts of who is Billy the Kid.

But some actors own the role in a way that they make it believable.

Maybe they could get Gary Russell Jr to play the part as the real Billy the Kid stood only 5'3", 125 pounds.

- -Billy knocked them out.

Russell kisses them.

Why not?

There was a film called
The Mexican...and it starred Brad Pitt.

Another film called
The Last Samurai...
starring Tom Cruise.

Why not make a film called
The last Ni66@ on earth...
starring Tom Hanks.

Hell no! Don't soil wild west stories with woke bull****. Create a black character of their own origin. Stop blacking **** up. Get more creative.

Lol lol lol lol.

Look at this insecure ***, dang my white bro chill.

The BBC strikes again

Like a Mario Van Peebles
Or someone like that.

Could u see a black Billy the Kid?

Why when there is Bass Reeves to play? 25% of cowboys were black the last time I checked.

I feel the same way about any role that uses woke bull**** "diversity." Why can't stories be created using black people instead of blacking a white character? White Shaft would be ******ed and bull**** just the same. There needs to be more creativity. This is lazy Hollywood dumb **** logic. I watch tons of black movies. Black comedy is some of my favorite. Imagine a new Friday with some weirdos from the Office instead of Cube, Mike Epps, Chris Tucker, John Witherspoon(R.I.P.), etc...

[Ubeja Vontell]

Could a white guy play....

Jesse Owens
The Brown Bomber Joe Louis
John Henry that steel driving man
Jackie Robinson
Malcomb X
James Brown
White guys playing The Temptations
A white Aretha Franklin
Gale Sayers

No white guy can do this....

Did you even watch any of those movies?

The Mexican was the name of the gun everyone was looking for, not Brad Pitt's character.

The Last Samurai was Ken Wantanabe's character, not Tom Cruise.
