I love a good western.
Just wondering, but what is this trend of having non African Americans playing African Americans? I love seeing Black people in these roles, but there's still something there.
Yep. I don't understand what it is, but there's something there.Delroy Lindo starred as Bass Reeves in the Netflix western "The Harder They Fall".

Back in the 70's it was said that African-American MLB players were too demanding and outspoken. As the passage of time went by, some of us noticed more and more blacks from the Caribbean started making their way into league while our numbers were dwindling. It also didn't get by us how the design of newer ball parks were built to lessen the need for fast players in the outfield. I'm like many, in that, I don't think it was mere coincidence.Yep. I don't understand what it is, but there's something there.

Yall, don't get me started on this topic. This irks the hell out of me. Hell, we can't tell our own damn stories. Samuel L. Jackson brought this subject up when the movie Get Out was released.That is the thing that irks me a tad. It seems like Hollywood seek out blacks from Great Britain/Europe in too many rolls for my liking. I haven’t done any research, but just wonder if the opportunities are lacking in Europe for blacks and they turn to the U.S. market.
ExactlyThe real solution is for more brothers and sisters to own production companies so they can do their own casting. I know for a fact blacks have been saying what I just typed for more than fifty years. We all might want to let the negative energy on this go, and channel it into something positive. If enough black actors in 2023/2024 still don't care enough to pool and leverage resources in their favor to control their circumstances why should the rest of us? Ownership solves the problem, they know it!
