Hunger Games fans upset over Black Actors

[Alinoa]

Here are some funny quotes from the comments section, with the exception of the first one.

Aw crap. It didn't quote the quotes. I'm to lazy to make it do that cuz its easier on the laptop and I'm not on it.

Any hoodles.

I laughed my ass of about the being raped comment. Man, I need to remember that for when someone REALLy pisses me off and I need to shut them down.

And lol@ brooklyn.

I'm going to remember that one too.

Rue and Thresh were clearly black and Cinna was biracial (black in my book that's why they got Lenny Kravitz black biracial ass to play the part) Reading comprehension is not these little bigots strong point. See what it is these people cried over the Rue character dying in the book and not realizing it was "some black girl". So now they realized that they "wasted those tears and emotions. Had they known or realized she was black they wouldn't have given a damn about her dying. Some deep psychological stuff.

straight-up...i was like wtf after reading those type of comments

after all the crying blacks done over Goose's ass getting killed in Top Gun (spoiler alert..) , it's about time they returned the favor

I disagree Heimdal wasn't understandable. Don't you know the princess in the clash of the titans was suppose to be Ethiopian. In the original Greek story she is black Hollywood turned her white. In wanted the movie with Angelina Jolie originally the character was suppose to be black. I think the black woman in the wanted comic was modeled after Hallie Berry.

So it goes both ways they are always changing black characters to white.

^This. Colonel Tigh in the original Battlestar Galactica was black, but the character was played by a white Canadian actor in the remake. When some fans complained about the lack of black actors in the new series, they got told to shut the fuck up.

Tho I know for a fact that there's many good white people the majority of white folks are fair. And yet blacks need to realize that racism is apart of white culture. It's really a miracle that all white's are not racist.

It ain't just white people spewing this shit. Somebody linked to screenshots of a bunch of racist tweets about the movie on another site that I post on, and there were Asians and Latinos making racist comments about the black characters too. It's always open season on black people by all the other races.

Game of Thrones premiers this week. Like I wrote in the GoT thread on this forum, better get ready for the backlash over the black actors that have been added to the cast this season.

That's why I never liked The new Battlestar Galactica. I remember hearing somewhere, that their "justification" was that the Black people lived on one of the planets that were destroyed by the Cylons. So they choose to write Black people out of the show, but they say it's not racist because the story justifies it.

LOL, the more I think about it I realize us human being are no different than the Lions on the savannahs or the Tiger in the jungle the only difference is they rely on their natural instinct.

We claim to rely on our higher intelligence, that is the shocking part.

I mean reading most of the comments Mikey posted above is the stuff of sheer stupidity.

Bunch of keyboard morons.

And that's the crux of it really, isn't it? A bunch. Millions and millions of Americans who saw this movie loved it, and continue do so in droves. What I have read and heard from people is "GO SEE IT!"

Cmon guys you know the deal.

If we aren't playing the archetypal dope dealer, gang banger or comedic buffoon it boggles the mind.

This is what is most comforting to folks who are bitching about Edris playing a role like that or when seeing black folks on screen.

1950s stay in your place tactics. Sad

Its the stereotypes brotha.

That is why Trayvon Martin can be walking, minding his own business, returning home, not bothering anyone, yet he is approached by an unknown individual to him and winds up dead from a gunshot.

Whenever I've heard comments around this case or on blacks, folks who think this kid being shot was his fault all fall back on stereotypes of young black males.

They assume he was the threat, he was the suspected bad guy for being black and walking.

How dare he wear a hoodie, how dare he wonder who this person was that approached him for no good reason.

Never mind he has nothing to do with the actions of other blacks who may be up to criminal behavior. Ain't that something.

But stay silent when Liz plays Cleopatra. Charlton plays Moses. _____ plays Jesus.

no one complained about denzel being crack kingpin in american gangster, or billy badass in training day

Of course not that's what he's suppose to do.

But these mofos can't stop bitching about the new Nick Fury being black. These haters crack me up

 

[GQ Brotha]

Nope. Heck Denzel got his highest honor ever an Oscar for it in Training Day.

The thing is nothing wrong with playing those roles, but its interesting to note when those are the roles that Hollywood acknowledges black actors with awards.

 

[Stizzy]

Because that stereotype fit black men,,, right?? Smh

Come on we all know that white folks are suppose to play every major role despite historical accuracy. They're white and white is right

Its funny when you think about it. Things like this seem so trivial but it tells you we still have a long way to go.

The mindset of folks are so preoccupied with race that it removes common rationale and seeing the individual person.

Why is it hard for some to grasp, blacks aren't all the same, just like any other group of people. You would have thought Clarence Thomas would have made them aware of that.

The dark skin tone and African features appears to be too much for them to get over. All the other racial groups at least have similar hair and skin tone. We are apparently alien to everyone else. Guess that's why everyone hates us so much

Andrae, it really isn't that bad in the real world. They only act like that because the internet offers them anonymity.

I'm going to remember that one too.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed them. There are probably more new ones there, take a look at them. I can't because I'm logged on here for just 5 minutes, then I'm signing off.
