So, having a Black historical character played by a White actress is stupid, but having White historical characters played by Blacks is edgy and wonderful? How does that work again?

Gotta have a little bit of darkness within you just to survive. You gotta stoop low everyday it seems like. Stoop all the way down to the devil in these times. And then one day you look in the mirror and you realize that you ain't you anymore. You're just another monster, and thanks to your actions, someone else will eventually become as warped and twisted as you. Never forget that the best of us are just the best of a bad lot. Being at the top of a pile of feces doesn't make you anything but shit like the rest. Never forget that.

Dude wtf are you talking about? First of the story of Ariel is exactly that a story, not a fucking historical event, and second I never said having blacks play an actual historically white character is edgy or wonderful, have you even looked at my previous posts?

Have you see anything about "Hamilton"?
If Aaron Burr, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and the Marquis de Lafayette can be played by Blacks, then why shouldn't Harriet Tubman be played by a White?

But that makes no sense. The ethnicity of characters in fiction doesn't have to be based on the most common ethnicity where the author lived, nor does it have to be based on the most common ethnicity where some featured legend originated.

It's a movie.
A fairytale.
Just get over it.
We're all grown here and not angry, little toddlers.
