    I'm sure he handled it as a role beautifully, he has that capability.

    But in visual context, just as with a Black Queen of England, it is a factor that does not fit the known aspect of history.

    Let's put it this way, would you put a White actor in the lead roll of Roots? A Male (of any skin color) in the leads of Steel Magnolias? A Female playing Schwartzenegger's part in True Lies?

    In a new part, with no history, skin color and gender don't matter. One with history, does.

    I think that a movie about Tubman would revolve around the fact that she was Black - so casting a white woman in a film about Black struggle would be a little ridiculous. But was his 'whiteness' center to the character of MacBeth?

    Yes.

    "Three witches tell the Scottish general Macbeth that he will be King of Scotland. Encouraged by his wife, Macbeth kills the king, becomes the new king, and kills more people out of paranoia. Civil war erupts to overthrow Macbeth, resulting in more death".

    As much as the left doesn't like to admit it color isn't even a factor in 18-40 year olds, times have changed and society has a way of filtering out wrongs of the past without some radical woke screaming rages. By no means is there not some racism from both sides but it is drowned out by normal people that now see people for who they are versus the color of their skin or their gender. Losers are losers, winners are winners regardless of race or gender in todays world and it great to see how far we've come in my 40 years on this earth.

    I completely agree that those younger (certainly than me at 60) are far more open minded and take things like homosexuality, gender transition and skin color in their stride. Unfortunately, those aren't the people making laws for the most part.

    I know what woke is and now you do too. Woke is filling school board meetings with parents vs the woke.

    No woke, in contemporary terms, are people that complain about the petty.

    I don’t think seeing $50 billion wiped out within a few minutes is “petty”.

    $50B ?
    Where did this come from.

    I think people getting their panties in a twist over what other people do that has no effect on them is the very definition of being a woke Karen.

    You said a shift that is casting people because of their skills and not their skin color. A good thing in your view. Meryl Streep is a very skilled actress and could probably portray Harriet Tubman magnificently and win a Best actress for her portrayal of Harriet Tubman, so there really shouldn't be an issue with skilled White people playing famous Black people, whether real or fictional. Maybe Keanu Reeves could be cast as the new Marvel character Black Panther. You said Meryl Streep would be ridiculous as Harriet Tubman, but I think Rachel Levine as a Woman or Lia Thomas as a female swimmer is equally ridiculous and this is what Liberals have foisted upon us.
