I actually did not like how the whites ganged up on d young girl. But to be fair, let's be honest, Juliet should not be black just as much as black panther cannot be white. its much better to look for or create an original story that requires a young black actress. It's a shame really, I perfectly understand how she's feeling sha 129 Likes 5 Shares |

They love setting Black people up for insult ehn. No white production company would allow a movie of Idris Elba to pair with some hideous white girl whatever the story line may be. It’s time Black people build and take complete ownership of their own EVERYTHING and stop ranting or complaining to get treated better in white spaces. 26 Likes 4 Shares |

We're the ones doing ourselves Shakespeare's character was obviously a white British lady. Must we try to abuse "inclusivity"? Next, they will use a black woman for Snow White. At least apply common sense. Imagine using Jackie Chan for Black Panther 78 Likes 10 Shares |

I'm sure it's not about the colour of the actor but the woke agenda Hollywood has in turning movies to something they are not suppose to be. We all know Romeo and Juliet is not a story of a black woman. Hollywood should represent characters they way they are suppose to be. Stoping pushing Woke BS 20 Likes 3 Shares |

All these woke people might end this world if not checked.. How the f*CK will you cast a black person as Juliet?? Same way they want to cast a female as Bond in 007. Soon a white man will be black panther. 14 Likes 2 Shares
