What drives me nuts about this is that the black women who did read and enjoy the book were most likely fine with it as is or they wouldn’t have picked up a book that takes place in Victorian England.
When I watched Kung Fu/Bruce Lee movies I didn’t complain that everyone was Asian
“Doing something creatively refreshing”. Yes, race swapping an older work for the millionth time is refreshing. I have the book but haven’t read it yet. I’ll just do that. As for Hallmark I used to support them until they went all in on gay stuff and the diversity obsession (they already had minorities in their movies but I guess that wasn’t enough). Former CEO of hallmark started Great American Family. Great channel and is a Christian channel or they definitely cater to a traditional Christian audience. Hallmark is dumb because they knew their audience and still chose to give them the middile finger.
I got the FRNDLY app so I could get Great American Family.
Hallmark remade Sense and Sensibility. Can you guess why I'm posting about it here
You're sitting on the toilet and it seemed appropriate?
Edit: lol, didn't even look at the context of the story, just went with it being yet another shitty remake of an already shitty story by a shitty author who gets romanticised far too often and used by woman in the same way porn is used by men: as an expectation of how relationships should be - although this may apply more to Pride and Prejudice and zombies as I can't remember the story to Sense and Sensibility except that the parody has sea monsters
Not a lot of people realize that Alexandre Dumas was black, even though all they have to do is look at a photo of him and see the simian good looks of James Earl Jones or Yaphet Koto. This is one instance where I wouldn't complain about at least one of the musketeers being black, since maybe the writer himself saw him as such.
Good grief, what's with all the toothy grins? They aren't even trying to act as the characters, they're just doing a racist parody of white girls. They look like, any moment now, they're gonna break out yelling "Ha-HAAAAAAAAA-Ha!" as black women in media are so fond of doing.
Ah yes, Jane Austen, well loved by black women

Well they never saw themselves in her writings. Now they can isn't that what is most important?

Still don't know what Mr Darcy saw in her.
Well the next time it’s remade I guess they’ll have to make everyone black … and gay.

When that book was written, they didn't even have written language
