It’s about how white people suddenly realize racism is spreading across the world and they can only escape its wrath if they refuse to acknowledge it because...

And Star Wars?

John Boyega plays Nat Turner in the Star Wars reboot, The Force Awakens. He’s a slave (Stormtrooper) who leads a rebellion that eventually destroys the plantation (The Death Star) and defeats the slavemaster (Kylo Ren).

So, if you ever want the rabid racist black take on virtually any topic, cruise on over the The Root.

So, 50% black Barack Obama was black to play the second black President, but 50% black Dwayne Johnson isnt black enough to play a black character?

I will still peek when they get nuts, folks should know that there are enough people thinking this stuff that the Root makes money.

Well, thats the point, whats "black"? Do we end up back in the days of octaroons? Do we get like India where it's more about how deep the color of your skin is? There's a huge market in India for skin whitening cremes, since lighter skin indicates higher class. There are blacks here who look down on lighter skinned blacks. But that cant be racist.......

It astounds me that CNN and MSNBC make money. Newsweek is losing its ass, but still has readers. WashPo and NYT make money.

That's a lot of bat#### crazy.
