@texasgoldrush: Bud, out of everyone here, you are the one living in some weird, demented world.
Take your racism elsewhere. Preferably to ResetEra, where you'd be welcomed with open arms and backed by a moderation team which has openly expressed itself to being racist (Delphine).
But finally, a semblance of an argument.
The n-word holds historical context behind it that held one race in subjugation to another. I don't even agree that I believe it proper for blacks to use it amongst themselves given this history, the word and its implications are abhorrent and should be rejected entirely, but then unlike you I'm not one to believe that just because history played out a certain way, racism is permissible against some but not others because of past power dynamics, historical context, or some such rubbish as the Left continually pushes to justify their bigotry. Racism is racism, period, its nature doesn't become less or more potent or acceptable/condemnable due to circumstances.
The worst thing about people like you is that you're not only racist, but you laughably attempt to frame it as somehow being morally superior and use it to virtue signal to others about it. Mesome (despite his post feeling to be in jest and trolling a bit) is at the very least, honest: it isn't about equality. It isn't about betterment. It's about vengeance against big bad whitey for the sins of the past.
So is casting white people in roles of color. That also has a racist historical context as well.
Did you ignore that history?
Is it always racist to cast whites as POC, like using the n-word is always racist? No.
Your argument is as dumb as saying only blacks can serve fried chicken because fried chicken has been used to be racist against blacks. There is nothing intrinsically racist about a non-POC portraying a POC.
Except that the norm is now that it is. You are refusing to accept this. There is no debate.
Its you not accepting reality that is the dumb thing here.
You aren't getting debated, you are getting "told".
“Except that the norm is now that slavery is. You are refusing to accept this. There is no debate.”
I love it when it’s so effortless to defeat a position by the simple shifting of one word. 😂
Again, this isn’t ResetEra, debate is actually allowed on this site. The only thing you’re telling everyone is that you are incapable of it.

Yet it is also effortless for you to prove your ignorance and it shows.
The "debate" is over and your position lost, once again "white actor voicing a person of color is okay if he does a good job" is not seen as acceptable in VA work today, just like slavery is not seen as acceptable today.
So effortless to defeat your position.

Troll elsewhere.
@mesome713: It’s an interesting attitude to have. I mean, a white President essentially ended slavery. A white Supreme Court essentially ended segregation (unanimously). I’m not saying that having grievances against any certain ethnic group isn’t a human flaw that we all struggle with, but in the case of America, it seems that there have always been whites who were against the racism. I’m just saying that the whites who helped fight alongside POC (including hundreds of thousands of whites who died in the American Civil War) probably deserve more than a blanket “We taking this back b****.”
At the end of the day, though, I truly believe that we are all ONE race (human), and that we can trace all of humanity back to a common ancestry. Whenever anyone is oppressed or disliked because of their ethnic background, they are receiving undue punishment from their own kin.
But to circle around back to the topic, I have no issue with the new Ada. I like her new look and appreciate the voice.
Actually many of these people that did advance civil rights in America, also were to a degree, racist. You had pro Reconstruction Republicans in the late 19th century pursue brutal policies against Native Americans and Chinese immigrants for example. Truman and LBJ also had racist attitudes, and Lincoln also delved into white supremacy at times.
There were always whites against white supremacy in those times (Thaddus Stevens is a good example), but be careful completely lionizing even some leaders who did advance civil rights as non-racist, as they really weren't.
@texasgoldrush: Nobody’s perfect. I think there are degrees of racism, and it’s not quite fair to lump LBJ in with a raging skinhead, for example. I’m not even a big fan of LBJ, but he did appoint Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court. Even if he had underlying racist feelings, he seemed to overcome them in certain decisions.
All people groups have histories of atrocities. Some just kept their atrocities domestic, unlike Europeans, who essentially conquered and colonized the world, which is why we hear it about it so much. We just have to be careful not to allow hate in our hearts for any one people group, including whites. We all are brothers and sisters of the human race.
