Jussie Smollett and Amber Herd have given Hollywood the reputation that they make things up, I need receipts before I believe them.

['It’s obvious that nobody has an issue
with Moses or her skin color?
It’s that the story is s**t,' echoed @Md_Boater.
'Disney has chosen once again to disrespect
the spirit of the original story and
has thrown away a Golden opportunity to
tell Obi Wan’s story and focuses instead on an inquisitor?!'

'"No one cares about this new show,
let's make the fans fight over racism!"' wrote @HappyMantShrimp,
implying Disney was trying to
start conflict in effort to get more people
talking about the show.

'Words of a dying franchise...' @ABHibbs21 said of the woke tweet.

@Nogreensocks added: 'If they spent half as
much time as you do trying to gaslight the
entire galaxy, they might have had a halfway decent show.'

'It’s not racist to disagree with the writing of the
character. It’s bad, but maybe over the series
it gets better….we will see,' said @MusicmanGamer.
'But don’t call the R card when we just not
feeling it from that character.']

1532054572499447810The delusional privilege on McGregor thinking that his mind makes the rules.

[Alf]

Rod Stewart made a tweet today about looking forward to performing at the jubilee celebrations today. As a Celtic fan you can imagine some of the replies he got to that tweet.

You won't be seeing that on the news. You can go on Rod's twitter to see though.

[Alf]

All those millions of insulting messages Donald Trump got why didn't he just cry racism?

[arista]

The delusional privilege on McGregor thinking that his mind makes the rules.


Wrong Alf


McGregor is also an Executive Producer

Does that mean he get to dictate who is and isn’t a Star Wars fan?

You give these privliged celebrities too much power.

It means he can,
say stop the Racism.
He has worked hard this new Disney Star Wars Series.

[Alf]

It means he can,
say stop the Racism.
He has worked hard this new Disney Star Wars Series.But there was no racism. So he's talking nonsense.

[user104658]

I mean... some of those comments are clearly racist. I also don't think you can call the casting of a new role a "diversity hire" without it being somewhat racist. Recasting a role/retconning a character, yes I can see the issue, but a brand new character? Suggesting that they "should be white" and anything else is a diversity casting is clearly racist.

Whether or not the level is newsworthy depends on the proportion of people making those sorts of comments; stamping out trolling entirely is an unachievable goal and sometimes shining a spotlight on the accounts doing it has the opposite effect, and it serves as a beacon to other like-minded people to join in.
