[N-word Adaptations] Cursed's Kang Arthur of last year: "we can only go further (...) diversity isn’t something that we should pat ourselves on the back. (...) It’s something that the world needs to come to understand… And that’s what we want to see on our screens, especially on Netflix." (archive.is)

There's always only further forward in Mister Bones' Wild Ride. Can't stop the progress.

The actor himself on the issue of cultural appropriation:

“Even playing a person of color in the role of Arthur. If you do have a problem with that, why is it? It’s a myth. It’s a legend. There’s a magical sword.”

Spoken in the name of people who want you dead if you're white while wearing a hairstyle.

He then went to take part in the BLM peaceful movement, because this once and future kang is really concious about being a capital B black in a crazy but wonderful year:

This has been a crazy year, but it's been a wonderful year in terms of bringing social injustice to the forefront for all Black lives.

I have a problem with it because I can't get into the story if the actor is black. I see that nappy hair and I just have to laugh. I can't take them seriously as knights. There are so many other interesting roles that black people can play, but medieval knights just don't work for me, fantasy or not.

They could always be Sagramor.

Sagramore is a Nubian (what's a Nubian) in The Warlord Trilogy but in the legend he's an Eastern Roman / Hun.

There are some real Black Knights tho. One is Feirefiz, Perceval's half brother (half black).

“And I’m a magical negro.”

They always throw the “it’s just fantasy” to justify race and gender swaps. I can’t wait to see someone reimagine the black Panther as a white man. I mean it’s just fantasy. It’s not real

They have ruined period pieces. And this diversity obsession makes me very unlikely to watch any new shows unless someone I trust recommends it. I don’t understand why they can’t just research African, Asian, Hispanic, or Native folklore. I guess it’s easier to take European stories and race swapping while the shills heap praise upon you.

Glad I cancelled Netflix

Africans never wrote down any of their "rich history" of killing and eating each other because they never developed a written language.

Reminded me of Vonnegut's haunting account of his trip to Baifra: http://journeytoforever.org/rrlib/biafra.html

THERE is a "Kingdom of Biafra" on some old maps which were made by early white explorers of the west coast of Africa. Nobody is now sure what that kingdom was, what its laws and arts and tools were like. No tales survive of the kings and queens.

It's a really good piece actually. The West-worshipping (also literally, as Christians) Biafrans got so fucked by both the Brits and the Soviets working together.

They’re pretty racist - they don’t believe black folklore would be worth watching

Even urban legend stories can be cool. Like Candyman, or Tales from the Hood (uber campy shit but my guilty pleasure).

I didn’t think I’d like tales from the hood but it was actually enjoyable

Diversity for only white history... sure as hell no diversity for other race's history.
