It's way easier to just steal something that's already been made and tweak it.

Just look at literally every "reboot" movie that's objectively worse in every way. However, just shoehorn in some black people for no reason whatsoever and call it a "brave reimagining".

Black people could totally just make their own shit, but we all know they won't.

There is something to be said about racial tokenism but the way you write this does sound very racist.

Black people do in fact make their own shit and they don't necessarily need to if we have racial equity where the best actors get put in the part.

I try to choose my words carefully and I wrote it that way on purpose, because that's exactly what this media push looks like from the perspective of an outsider. It looks like the sort of thing that liberals convince themselves of so they can feel better about shitting all over blacks AGAIN.

It makes blacks look unoriginal and uncreative when the only roles you see them in are roles written for white actors 20 years ago.

And jamming black people into historic roles such as Joan of Arc is a complete slap in the face. It's divisive on purpose and it ultimately doesn't help the black community. It just makes guilty whites and jews feel better.

And please don't bust my balls about da jooz. Everyone knows and openly acknowledges that jews are a driving force in Hollywood.
