This is not an attack on Black actors. Not even close. Talented Black actors have earned great roles for decades, and nobody with a working brain should object to that. The problem is not the actors. The problem is the Hollywood executives, producers, casting departments, and political activists who use and abuse casting as a social engineering tool.
They are not telling stories anymore. They are trying to reshape society through forced casting, fantasy demographics, and ideological box-checking. Characters are no longer created because they serve the plot. They are inserted because somebody in a boardroom wants applause from people who do not buy tickets. That is the fraud.
Black actors deserve real characters, real villains, real heroes, real flaws, real complexity, and real drama. What they do not need is Hollywood turning them into political props to prove how morally enlightened some studio executive thinks he is.
The audience can smell this nonsense from the cheap seats. When every police chief, judge, general, corporate titan, FBI supervisor, intelligence boss, and moral authority figure is a DEI plant to deliver a woke message rather than serve the story, the movie stops feeling like entertainment and starts feeling like a human resources training video with explosions.
Hollywood is not elevating anyone with this nonsense. It is insulting everyone. It insults the actors, insults the audience, and insults the story. That is the point. The problem is not Black actors. The problem is Hollywood using them as ideological props.
Imagine a immensely popular Death Wish or Dirty Hairy franchisees being made today, not a chance!
