Never say publicly what you think could damage you politically. That’s politics 101.

Your contention that simply having a black face on screen as a hero is enough?

It would have shown that she was not on board for the complete crap show that has been going on ever since. When someone shows you that you they are a racist, fascist, white nationalist sympathizing moron, and your public response is “Maybe I can work with him?”, there is something wrong with you, and you need to go.

People have been arguing for colour-blind casting for years...

Perhaps, but despite that portion, HIV/Aids rate has been dropping Africa, and a lot of the drop is due to the PEPFAR initiative.

Yeah sure, that’s all true.

Pedantic man is pedantic.

Foreign governments.

Jesus, did that happen ...for real?

the idea of casting a black woman as a superhero lead character, and moreover in an entirely colourblind sense (something that should be celebrated, not scorned)

5 steps?

Exactly this. In all of this talk of gun nuts and gun control, white fear is really what this is about. Gun’s are 100% about white fear and panic. IT all boils down to unreasonable, unjustified, unyielding fear of the other. To them a black guy in loc’s on their street is freakin’ Cthulu born when the stars are right,…

The problem is that other then the skin color of the protagonist, there is virtually nothing about Catwoman that makes it a film about an african/african american super hero.

Sure thing. The person with best ideas, and the best way forward should win, not just the one who happens to raise the most money, or have the built in advantage of overwhelming name recognition.

And his AIDS funding was tied to abstinence-only education and the bullshit paternalism so many Western countries engage in

Thus it has ever been. White woman makes a false accusation that likely got people killed (we will never know, because that’s how the internet works), white woman gets a literal slap on the wrist, and pays no long term penalty what-so-ever.

I was talking about Russian interference in our election.

As I said, I disagreed with him and his actions 95% of the time, but even he didn’t sully the office like the current occupant.

Let me know when it’s revealed that any of them or their campaigns worked with a foreign government to win an election.
