What is going on? First you get Kevin Costner in Robin Hood prince of Thieves with a BLACK Muslim sidekick..... Then you get the BBC version with Indians Blacks and god know who else as part of the merry men....To be honest it was getting so stupid that i was half expecting a person in a wheel chair to take over the role of little john....
Call me a traditionalist but Robin and his men were WHITE, Nancy in Oliver was WHITE...what the hell is going on ? Am i to be treated to Justin timberlake as Shaka Zulu next!!!?
I really don't get a Black woman playing a role that was clearly meant to be WHITE...it ruins the flippin show and makes a mockary of establish historic facts....
ok rant done!!

Why should we care anyway? Look at the damn roles of the ancient Egyptians in many documentaries and movies. They're all played by whites and Arabs. That's what we should really be ranting about. We all know that the ancient Egyptians were blacks. Yet non-blacks are the ones making a mockery of our history. Jesus and the all of the people of the Bible were black. Yet look how many white people played them. Hell if they can do all of that then what's wrong with blacks playing roles meant for whites?
